“I can’t believe I
did it.”
ADC’s own Biggest Loser sheds 160 pounds!
Alan Dubicki
weighed in at 380 pounds when he began The Austin Diagnostic’s
Weight Loss Program in May of 2009. He was using crutches
because of difficulty with his knees and was concerned about
other health problems associated with his obesity.
“I considered
gastric bypass or lap band surgery but my wife kept encouraging
me to call ADC’s
HMR® Clinic Program. A friend of hers had
participated in the program with great results.”
“Admitting I
had a problem and needed help was hard for me. At the
orientation the staff convinced me I could be successful. From
the very first class I knew that I would have the support of my
health educators, Maribel Rodriguez and Kimberly Smith and
others in the program. They don’t let you give up.”
“It’s been
over a year now and I have never missed a meeting. I have
learned to eat good foods and learned the value of a
daily exercise program. I can now walk down the driveway to
pick-up the mail without worrying if my knees will fail. I feel
great.”
Dubicki, 59,
says he will always have to be vigilant about controlling his
weight so he can live a healthy life. “The ADC staff was there
to coach and encourage me every step of the way. The rewards
are great.”
