Elga Owens - lost 16.5 pounds and 17 inches within 6 weeks!

“In September 2010, I stepped on the scale and my worst fears came true.  I was 20 pounds overweight. I had been avoiding the scales and buying bigger clothes but now I was faced with a moment of truth; how was I ever going to get back on track? It seemed an impossible situation.

I talked with a friend who was in a similar situation and we decided to partner together and check out the Diet Center that had recently opened in our city.  Frustrated with myself and not knowing what to expect,  I hesitantly walked through the Diet Center doors.  That day changed my life.  I walked into a beautifully decorated center and my confidence was immediately bolstered by a positive and friendly staff.

I was assigned a weight loss consultant, Nikki Nemer, and very confidently and professionally she began to map out a diet plan that would work for me and my lifestyle.  I honestly can’t  believe how quickly I have been able to lose weight.  In 6 short weeks, I am four pounds from my goal.  I am feeling great and my self esteem is through the roof!  The information and assistance I have received will go with me the rest of my life and I am confident now that I can maintain a healthy weight.  Thank you Diet Center.  You have truly helped me transform my life!” - Elga Owens.
