For months now, I've been working with Jersey Weight Loss Clinic to lose weight with semiglutide. It's an on-going journey because I have a significant amount to lose — but I'm pleased with my progress and my doctors are pleased I'm taking the medication.

I'm not even worried about the holidays. They can be a minefield for people trying to lose weight, right? First the Halloween candy, then Thanksgiving, then office parties, award banquets, multiple family get-togethers, Christmas or Hanukkah, and New Year's. Food is everywhere, and it's easy to get off an exercise routine and indulge in tasty desserts and high-calorie drinks. You might even be tempted by stress-eating.

Semaglutide just makes all that food noise disappear. The injections work with a hormone known as GLP-1 in your stomach to make you feel full faster, too. You eat smaller portions, and it's easier to have one cookie, instead of 15. Or one serving of mannacotti, instead of four or five. I also can focus on making sure I get enough healthy protein and water, which is important for me while taking semaglutide.

Besides providing the semaglutide, Al and Mel at Jersey Weight Loss Clinic tailor a plan to your specific needs and provide coaching as needed along the way. They even offer meal plans. I like knowing exactly where my medication is coming from and knowing help is just a phone call or a local visit away.

If you think you're ready to start your own wellness journey, call Jersey Weight Loss Clinic at (732) 800-9293 or visit jerseyweightlossclinic.com. And good luck!
