A Family Spotlight
Meet Rebecca, a longtime patient and an incredibly determined individual who embarked on a transformative journey with the Ciccone Wellness 90-Day Weight Loss Program. When Rebecca came across our advertisement inviting people to lose 20 pounds it caught her attention. She was struggling with dissatisfaction with her weight, body image, and health issues. Combined with her strong desire for change, she eagerly made the decision to join the program. What’s even more amazing is that her partner, Jesse, and daughter, Rosie, decided to join her on her quest for better health and a new life!
As a family, their progress was remarkable. Rebecca lost an impressive 44 pounds, and four months later, she has continued to use the program, shedding almost 65 pounds in total. Jesse lost an astounding 60 pounds and has now reached a weight loss of 75 pounds. Rosie, too, experienced a significant transformation, losing 44 pounds and now maintaining a 50-pound weight loss.
Beyond their incredible weight loss achievements, the program has provided them with so much more. Their overall metabolic health has drastically improved and their confidence has soared. Rebecca successfully weaned off two blood pressure medications by Day 60 and no longer requires heartburn medication. Jesse, who initially relied on six prescriptions, reduced it to two by Day 90 and went on to eliminate one of them with guidance from his doctor. Rosie, who is a police officer and works the night shift has additional obstacles to eating healthy and obtaining enough sleep. However, she now enjoys an abundance of energy, freedom from fatigue, and diminished sugar and carb cravings. She has improved physical performance, which greatly benefits her demanding job. Rosie expressed that her overall happiness has significantly improved, and she is loving her entirely new wardrobe! The entire family has become more active and is genuinely enjoying life at a deeper level.
When we asked them about the benefits of participating in the program as a family, they explained that having each other’s support was crucial for additional accountability, meal planning, and motivation. They were there to cheer each other on, especially on the tougher days when extra encouragement was needed. They attribute their tremendous success to working as a team.
We also asked them to share their thoughts on their initial expectations versus their actual experience with the program:
Rebecca: I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but I trusted Dr. Dennis and his commitment to better health. It turned out to be much more than I had anticipated! Malory was a fantastic coach, always providing answers and explanations to any questions I had.
Jesse: The program exceeded my expectations. The staff at Ciccone Wellness work diligently to help their clients and guide them throughout the journey. That’s why we have achieved such remarkable results and why your program is so successful. Thank you!
Rosie: The overall program and experience were everything I had hoped for and more!
When Rosie was asked how she would recommend the program and share her journey with someone struggling with inflammation and weight gain, she replied:
Rosie: I would instantly tell them that the Ciccone Wellness Weight Loss Program is the way to go. They’ll feel a whole lot better and be genuinely happy with the weight loss results. It truly works—I’m living proof!
We asked each of them about the valuable lessons they learned from the program and what their plans were for maintaining their weight loss journey or sustaining their results. Here’s what they shared:
Rebecca: The program taught us which foods benefit our new lifestyle and healthier ways of preparing them. Since graduating on March 1st, we have remained dedicated to the program and are still losing weight. Both my daughter and partner have been consistently supportive and accountable, just as I am for them. I absolutely cherish our new healthy lifestyle!
Jesse: Through the program, we learned which foods promote good health and weight loss. We also gained knowledge about moderation and how to enjoy certain foods while having the tools to quickly get back on track. We’ve internalized these lessons because we never want to return to where we started!
Rosie: Following this program, I’ve gained extensive knowledge, but the most significant lesson is that we can achieve anything when we set our minds to it. I desired a healthier future for myself, my well-being, and my job, and this program helped me make it a reality.
Jesse had been struggling with his left knee for years, unable to bend or kneel without significant difficulty. He often required assistance to stand back up or had to rely on furniture or equipment for support. However, after completing the program, he accomplished a remarkable feat. He confidently walked onto the Woo Sox Stadium field, knelt down on his knee, proposed to Rebecca, and rose to his feet without any assistance whatsoever! And yes, she said, “YES!”
We are immensely grateful that this remarkable family selected and placed their trust in us to support their health and aspirations. Their accomplishments fill us with great pride, and I feel privileged to have been able to provide coaching for their journey. We extend our heartfelt wishes for their ongoing success, well-being, and joy as they embrace new adventures ahead!
