Sharon Lost 45 Pounds

Although I was never a “heavy” young woman, while raising my children over the past 18 years, I gained a significant amount of weight. Having tried many weight loss programs, I all but gave up hope when I was referred to Dr. Briones and the Optifast Program. Not only have I been able to lose 45 pounds following a partial food program and moderate exercise, I have the good fortune to meet a wonderful doctor, who understands all about osteoarthritis. Having had a complete foot reconstruction and a back fusion, I was in dire need of losing weight before another joint was affected by arthritis and exacerbated by weight.

Since I started, I’ve lost about 45 pounds and intend to continue until I lose 20 more. Dr. Briones’ knowledge, patience and humor have contributed to my persistence. While the loss of pounds has taken some time for me, the fact that I’ve been able to keep the weight off and continue in the right direction, learning to live a healthier lifestyle, attests to Dr. Briones influence.

I highly recommend the Optifast Program of Weight Loss and doing this Program with Dr. Briones.
