So you’ve nearly reached your target weight?
Firstly, well done! Losing weight can seem like an impossible task at times so a huge well done for sticking at it and achieving your goal weight.
Many patients start to worry about how they are going to maintain their weight loss as they near their goal weight. However, this is a very exciting time as wherever you have started from, your hard work and dedication has helped you achieve a healthier weight and hopefully you’ll be feeling proud of your achievement.
Your The Slimming Clinic doctor will start planning your reduction in appetite suppressant medication as you get closer to your healthy goal weight, so you can start to get used to balancing your diet and exercise to maintain your weight. Along your weight loss journey, you will have made changes to what and how much you eat and your body will have adapted to those changes so you will find even without medication you will be eating much less than when you started. You will also have hopefully increased the amount of physical activity you do so you will be feeling fitter and healthier than when you started your journey, which is a great motivator to keep going with the positive lifestyle changes you’ve made.
When you finally come to stop medication, you are not alone!
Your The Slimming Clinic doctor will arrange to see you within a few weeks to make sure that you are staying on track and to offer any advice you might need to maintain your weight. You will always be welcome at your local The Slimming Clinic to pop in at any stage after that should you need any further support. We find the our slimmers who continue to come in for a FREE weekly weigh in manage to remain in control of their weight.
Most importantly enjoy feeling great as the new healthier, fitter best version of you.
