Roger is back to his favorite activities after dropping more than 100 pounds with Medical Weight Loss Clinic

Roger Minto has dropped 115 pounds so far with Medical Weight Loss Clinic. He’s back to golf, boating and dating.

Roger Minto joined Medical Weight Loss Clinic at the encouragement of his sister. During the 4th of July holiday in 2021, she noticed he was struggling with some of his favorite activities. She helped him out of the water and told him: “I’m going to call Medical Weight Loss Clinic.”

Not one to disappoint his sister, Roger followed through on her suggestion. And today, he’s 115 pounds lighter and able to enjoy this year’s camping trips, visits to the lake and more time on the golf course.

Roger visits our Clinton Township clinic and follows the Medical Weight Loss Clinic Freedom program. At age 67, he was diagnosed as diabetic and found it hard to lose weight and keep it off. Roger tried a variety of programs before coming to the clinic. That’s something so many of us can relate to.

“I was getting older and chubby,” Roger says. “I couldn’t play golf or walk a block. I had to have groceries delivered because I could not walk the whole store. Household chores were hard to do.”

But all of that has changed.

After committing to a new healthy lifestyle, Roger found support – and friendship – among the staff in our Clinton Township location. He learned the healthiest foods and portions to support his body and discovered it was possible to lose weight without feeling hungry or missing out on foods he enjoys eating.

Roger weighed in three times a week and says the staff kept him accountable to the program and his goals. They encouraged him and gave him tips to ensure the weight loss would continue steadily.

“I love all the ladies at Medical Weight Loss Clinic,” he said of our staff. “They have become friends and they make me feel better about myself.”

Roger is down 10 sizes and lost more than 36 inches off his waist. But more than the numbers on the scale, he says he’s enjoying his life again. 

“I feel better,” Roger says. “I can move again. I can enjoy friends on the golf course. I can even go boating because I can get back in the boat!”

Sigrid Peterson at Medical Weight Loss Clinic has seen the changes first-hand.

“He is so proud and excited to return to his former self,” she says. “He used to play baseball and be very physically fit. Health got in the way and created a situation that started the weight gain. He is enthusiastic and ready to re-join life and every day activities again while he continues to lose!”
