Metabolic Medical Centeris Helping MeLose Weight!By Lisa McLaughlin
Charleston's most successful weight loss
program is now in Murrells Inlet
 When I look back on all the weight loss programs I have tried, I seemed to always
have concentrated on exercise more than what I ate. I have always hoped that working
out would cancel out my overeating! Well, it doesn't. I walk, ride my bike, do yoga and even occasionally get on my Concept II rowing
machine. I still need to lose 50 pounds! Over the past 8 years, I have lost the
same 10 pounds 100 times. I always gain it back because I am eating the wrong
foods! Also, I have never had the proper "diet" support to lose enough weight
and keep it off.
Yes, I have tried some of the national diet programs. I felt like I was in
a cattle call. They didn't care that I had a lot of muscle and my weight reflects
this and they didn't do the necessary blood work to make sure the diet was right
for me. Well, I turn 50 years old in a few weeks and I am ready to regain my youthful
figure!
I have always put my family first and not taken care of myself the way many
busy moms do. I asked for help from Metabolic Medical Center and I am excited
with the program and support they offer. Metabolic Medical Center is new here
in Murrells Inlet. They have a very sucessful weight loss program in Charleston
and we are lucky to have a physician supervised program where weight loss is all
they do!
Metabolic Medical Center has 4 different plans that they customize to each
person depending on age, body make up and blood work. As a matter of fact, they
do an intensive blood panel before they recommend anything for you. I like the
fact that I see a doctor instead of a part-time person that just works there!
The plans vary and most include delicious protein shakes supplemented with healthy
meals.
The program actually saves you money (especially if you eat out a lot - which
I do!)... On food AND healthcare costs. How many women my age have hormonal imbalances
due to diet and weight? How many 50 year old women have knee problems or high
blood pressure? A LOT!
The all encompassing life change I want to make has to go hand and hand with
comprehensive support and a truly effective program.
I'm so excited to share information about Metabolic Medical Center each month!
I have signed on to talk about my experience at Metabolic Medical Center for 3
months. I will share with you my struggles as well as my successes. I will change
my habits and put myself first. At 50 years old, don't you thin it is time?
For a safe, effective and healthy weight loss program, that offers support
from a physician, call Metabolic Medical Center today and do it with me! Regain
your figure too! They have a plan for every budget!
I'll see you next month with good news....................!

I’m A Big Loser!Metabolic Medical Center isTaking me Across the Finish Line!By Lisa McLaughlinI have lost about 17 pounds (and numerous inches) with the help of Metabolic Medical Center, in barely 7 weeks! I am one
dress size smaller and approximately halfway through my weight loss journey in
this Grand Strand’s Biggest Loser Contest. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. in 3 months
in this competition. I feel confident that I can do this! Metabolic Medical Center
is such a wonderful program. The food supplements are fantastic and the individualized
state-of-the-art appetite suppressants help immensely. This is truly the easiest
diet in the world! No wonder they have been so successful in Charleston and other
cities. Glad they finally opened a clinic in Murrells Inlet! A physician supervised
diet program, fairly new in the area, Metabolic Medical Center puts together a
program utilizing supplements such as delicious shakes, pudding, soups or oatmeal
to have daily in addition to low insulin index foods such as proteins and vegetables.
A complete blood panel, EKG and initial assessment are included in the initial
cost of the first doctor visit. This program is actually very inexpensive. A comparable
office visit with a family doctor or such with the lab work and EKG would normally
cost over $600! The initial appointment at Metabolic Medical Center is $199. The
other visits include a physician’s consultation and supplements and you actually
save money on groceries and expensive restaurant food. Not to mention fattening and unhealthy
restaurant food! The support from the kind and knowledgeable staff at MMC is invaluable.
Even the doctors have recipe ideas, tips and are sincerely interested in your
progress. You are not just a number at this weight loss facility, like others
I have tried!!
The Grand Strand’s Biggest Loser Contest is in full swing! Wonder how much
the other two contestants have lost (Beth Shipp with WPDE TV 15 and TJ Anzivino
with Star 92 Radio)? Do you think I’ll win the fabulous prizes? I sure hope so.
Keep your fingers crossed for me! I will “win” no matter as I will lose weight
and regain my youthful figure and better health. With 17 pounds gone, I am fitting
into a size smaller and it feels so good! I’d love to lose 2 more sizes, which
would probably be approximately 20 more pounds.
Stay tuned….
In the meantime, call Metabolic Medical Center, at 357-2851, for an appointment
to lose weight, get healthy and save money on food! You will be so glad you did
at the next holiday party or reunion!

Well, the final weigh in for the Metabolic Medical Center’s Grand Strand’s Biggest
Loser challenge is over! I didn’t win all the great prizes: $500 shopping spree at
Dillard’s, 4 week (3x per week) boot camp workout, plus one free beach yoga, from
Rockstar Boot Camp, a free 8x10 portrait sitting by Myrtle Beach photography,
a hair makeover (cut and color) from Studio 544, manicure and pedicure from Nail
Lounge, an Endermologie treatment & an Infrared Bodywrap (plus a $25 gift
certificate) from Celestial Body & Face and a one hour massage by Elements
Day Space. Love those sponsors…love those prizes! I did win back my wardrobe! It is elating to fit into dresses and slacks I could not
previously get all the way up my hips! I lost over 9% of my body weight, approx.
20 lbs., 4 inches from my bust (oh my!), 3 inches from waist and 3 inches from
my hips (that was mostly tummy!). What a well earned present to myself for my
50
th birthday! The winner of the challenge is Beth Shipp with WPDE TV 15! She is
a wonderful person and worked very hard to lose weight. Congratulations Beth!
Beth lost over 20 lbs., approximately 13% of body weight and numerous inches as
well. It was a close challenge and TJ, with Star 92 Radio, and I lost about the
same in the 12 weeks; we’re happy! Metabolic Medical Center has the know-how when it comes to losing weight! I
have never stayed on a diet for 12 weeks in my life! This was by far the easiest
diet I have ever been on…I was not hungry! I even had my treat or cheat meal once
a week (And I’m talking hamburger, French fries, donut!) and still lost about 2 lbs. per week STEADY! Easy! Here’s the plan we all followed… 2 supplements
daily in the form of delicious shakes, puddings, soups or sweet oatmeal. Then
add two low-insulin index meals, such as steak salad, grilled chicken & veggie
kebobs or something such as shrimp stir fry. That is not starving, is it? I love
the state of the art appetite suppressants they offer. Not the type that you have
taken that keeps you up at night and makes you grumpy and jittery. I just can’t
say enough about Metabolic Medical Center’s program! I plan to stay on it longer
even though the challenge is over. I want to lose 25 or so more pounds! There
is not another diet program out there that has ever worked for me! I love food
and cooking; this program fits into my lifestyle! Offering you on the go supplements,
yet the ability toenjoy a gourmet food every day. Love that combo! I am saving
money on food and eating out as well. I probably save $100 per week on groceries
and restaurant meals with the help of Metabolic Medical Center. AND winning back
my skinny jeans!!
YOU can be a Greatest Loser too!
The Grand Strand’s Greatest Loser Challenge is over for me but you can now do
it too!
The holidays are right around the corner and, this year, you can fit into a beautiful
cocktail dress instead of those large slacks and jacket!! |
