I have had the most wonderful uplifting, encouraging experience with Dr. Foggie and staff. She is always supportive and eager to go above and beyond listening to my needs. Her support is aided me in my physical weight loss of over 15 pounds and helped me to achieve my own goal of becoming a PhD myself. I am so grateful for this journey and opportunity to work with Dr. Foggie. I will continue on my journey of doing better, feeling better and living better for life. It has been the best lifestyle adjustment!!!!

This was the change I needed. My cousin came for a visit a few months ago and she looks like she did in college, she lost tons of weight. I asked her how she did it and she said started a program with Illinois Wellness & Weight Loss Center. That the center and the staff are absolutely wonderful and that I should try it. I have been gaining weight steadily since I was 30 and now I am in my 50s, I needed something I can stick to. I have tried everything out there. I need to lose somewhere between 80 and 100 pounds. Food has been my happiness for a long time. I took my cousin's advice and called, I spoke to Coach Lauren who worked on setting a program up for me and started me down my path. After 9.5 weeks I am already down 30 pounds. My cousin said it would start melting off and it has. The coaching staff and the wonderful Dr. Foggie have made all the difference. I look forward to my weekly check-ins and appreciate the App the clinic uses that regularly checks in on me. The program isn't hard and very manageable. I travel a lot for work and have been able to stay on track. Like anything else you just have to follow the plan, the rest is easy. I also want to say the secret weapon is Coach Carla, she is a true joy. She is so relatable and has tons of helpful tips. I love the way she breaks things down and has new ideas for not becoming bored with eating routines. She was meant for the position she has. If you need a change and want to become healthier, I highly recommend going to the Illinois Wellness & Weight Loss Center. It will change your life!

I am currently on a customized plan at Illinois Wellness & Weight Loss Center that began in Oct. 2020. Dr. Foggie & Certified Coaches Carla & Miriam have provided tremendous amounts of tips and encouragement. The entire Center staff is amazing from the time you enter the door. It's a welcoming environment & they walk alongside you in the journey to better health. Although I'm not where I need to be (yet), I'm not where I started; which was 248 lbs. Slow and steady wins the race for ME. I'm currently 216 lbs, but the greater victory is how I'm feeling! I love the fact that they understand the difficulty and challenges because they too have shed the weight (mentally and physically). I'm learning that it's not just about the number on the scale. I'm loving the NSVs (Non-Scale Victories too)!!!!! Let's Go!!!!!
