Childhood obesity is on the rise in this country. Now, a Michigan based weight loss organization is hoping to help young people in the state get healthy during National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month.

Medical Weight Loss Clinic is looking to help Michigan kids ages 10 to 17 lose weight. During the month of September, 31 medical weight loss clinics around the state will be giving away 930 Pro-Teen weight loss plans which includes medical and lab work, 10-weeks of weight loss services and nutritional supplements.

In Michigan, 12-percent of middle school children and 15-percent of high school students are considered obese. Eighteen-year-old Jake Stewart of Richmond was one of them. He says the extra weight interfered with his life.

“I couldn’t, like, keep up with my friends,” he said. “And then also, just looking into the mirror, I just wasn’t really OK with what I was seeing and I knew something needed to be done.”

That’s when Stewart was introduced to Pro-Teen weight loss plan.

“I lost 100 pounds and I did that with the Medical Weight Loss program,” he said.

When you enroll in a Medical Weight Loss Clinic program, the length of your program will be determined by you and the staff based on the amount of weight you want to lose and how quickly you want to lose it. Your actual weight loss will be determined by many factors, including, but not limited to: your medical circumstances, the plan you choose, adherence to the meal plan and use of nutritional supplements. Your goal and program duration information will be given to you in writing at the time of enrollment. As your program progresses, the rate you lose weight may change and you will have the opportunity to discuss this at every daily visit with your weight loss consultant, where changes to your meal plan and/or program can be made.
