Warren couple reaches health goals with Medical Weight Loss Clinic

Together Ron and Cathy Burnham of Warren have revolutionized their approach to healthy eating. And they’re doing it all with the personalized programs at Medical Weight Loss Clinic.

The Burnhams say making healthy changes together has made all the difference in their weight loss success.

Ron first joined Medical Weight Loss Clinic in the early 2000’s, after seeing a colleague attain success. He said it had a lasting impact. Recommitting to the program as a couple years after Ron initially joined, he and Cathy are both looking and feeling even better. Ron is more than halfway to reaching his goal of shedding 100 pounds. He’s lost 63 pounds to date. Cathy has surpassed her initial goal to lose 45 pounds – and has dropped 54 pounds to date.

The couple says they’ve achieved so much more than weight loss already.

“We've embraced healthier eating habits, planning meals in advance and avoiding fast food,” says Cathy. “This shift has infused us with newfound energy, encouraging us to incorporate light exercises and daily walks into our routine.”

The programs, customized to each of their needs, have impacted personal and professional interactions.

“Our increased confidence reflects in our wardrobe choices and in interacting with new people,” Cathy adds. “Ron used to worry that customers would have negative thoughts about his weight while introducing himself, but now it’s not even a thought in his mind. Ron's weight loss has also positively impacted his health by reducing the need for blood pressure medication - and he’s working to eliminate the need for his CPAP machine.” 

Not every day is easy, of course. Ron and Cathy say that embracing the concept of special occasions without thinking of any deviations to their program as a failure has been a crucial piece of their success.

“We've learned to indulge sensibly and swiftly return to our healthy routine instead of focusing in on the one or two things that we did outside our normal diet,” Cathy says. 

That’s made all the difference. They have been able to travel, attend and host events together, all while staying focused on their goals. The Burnhams traveled to Disney World for their son’s senior trip. They attended several award banquets, hosted a graduation party for their son and spent a week in Nashville to celebrate their anniversary. Having the support of one another kept the Burnhams on their healthy program all the while.

Ron and Cathy Burnham found a healthier path with Medical Weight Loss Clinic.

They manage everyday errands like grocery shopping differently now. The Burnhams take quick trips to the store a few times a week to buy fresh produce – and avoid aisles with less healthy choices. They read labels. They understand that some foods are packaged with misleading labels and can contain high quantities of sugar or salt. It’s now easier to look for those pitfalls and avoid those options. 

They’ve done it all with the help of our Warren staff.

“The unwavering support from Tyler, Tina, and the staff has been invaluable,” Ron says. “They constantly remind us of our progress, keep us focused on positives and help us navigate any setbacks with encouragement.”

Cathy says that doing the program together has been a game-changer for them both.

“It's the most successful we've been in our health journey with both of us losing the most weight by far with any lifestyle change,” she adds.

The Burnhams are most surprised that they don’t miss the foods and things they thought they might while on this program. Both Ron and Cathy are forming stable, healthy new habits with a goal of long-term well-being. It’s the sort of program they recommend to others.

“Spending 2,6, or 12 months on improving your diet will have incredible benefits for the rest of your life,” Cathy says. “Even when on stabilization, the program is so ingrained into my head, I see me continuing to eat healthier which will assure I stay healthy.”

They wouldn’t call the program a quick-fix, though. Instead, Ron and Cathy see their Medical Weight Loss Clinic program as “a sustainable approach” for long-term health. 

“It's especially effective when tackled together with a supportive partner, offering mutual encouragement and success,” Ron says.

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.
