I have struggled with keeping my weight steady and combating my constant bloating/messed up digestion. Cutting sugar was tough but its been one year and my skin clear, I don't have any cravings for late night chocolate and my energy is stable. Carbs and me still struggle, however, I"m doing pretty good with the support of JumpstartMD. Welcoming reception and staff - I love my peeps!

All staff I have encountered have been exceptionally friendly and service-oriented making me feel welcome and comfortable. They are always on time. The visits are efficient yet thorough and helpful. I have tried almost every diet out there. This is the first sustainable eating plan that has made a difference.

I've been on the program a few times over the last few years and rejoined again a few months ago. After Jodi left the Laurel Heights location, I started seeing Erika on a pretty regular basis. Let's just say she "gets it!" She helps me see things just a little differently. By providing helpful tips (it could be changing my perspective or choosing different phrases like I've always used, "I deserve this") or showing me new ways to see how my patterns and habits have been created, I always leave my meetings feeling better and ... read more

I started one month ago. I made a commitment to myself thar I would be true to the program and not cheat. I figured I would starve, but succeed. I was wrong! After relearning how to eat, I find that I eat way more than I use to and often stuggle to get it all in. After 10 days, my carb craving disappeared. Being a vegetarian, I was concerned that the plan would not accommodate my personal beliefs. Wrong. They tailored a program for me! Today marks one month. I am down 20 pounds, feel great, lost 5 inches in my waist, a... read more

I have been very successful on Jumpstart. Everyone is very friendly, encouraging and well informed. I usually see 1 of 3 clinicians and they are all good. Even Christina at the front desk is very friendly. I know it is expensive, but if I went to Weight Watchers, it would have taken twice as long at least to lose the weight. So Jumpstart is the one for me. beverlee H.

Yes this place is expensive. $388/month. Sometimes they have promotions - they advertise on KFOG so you can listen for deals (usually $50 off first month) Or $100 off if a friend refers you. I knew I was getting married this year and had been dieting, I lost 10 pounds last year and 10 pounds this year, then - BANG it was 3 months before my wedding and my weight really wasn't moving. So I bit the (expensive) bullet. In 3 months I lost another 10 - which was great -would have loved to have lost 15. The gal I liked the mo... read more

This program was life-changing for me - I've lost over 25 pounds in six months, without crazy amounts of exercise, obsessing about points or food, or feeling deprived (unlike my efforts at Jennie Craig, Weightwatchers or trying exercise alone.) My doctor is pleased as all my vitals & lean muscle mass have improved significantly, and the food program is consistent with the latest medical thinking on weight control (e.g. low-fat doesn't work). I can eat easily and enjoyably in most social settings without needing special meal... read more

I was inspired by my cousin, Nandita Weigel, who is a program counselor at Jumpstart MD. Nandita embodies the Jumpstart principles in her daily life and I wanted to get in as great shape as she is. She also has her Master's Degree in Health Management and I knew she would not recommend this program unless it was merited. I found the Jumpstart program very easy to follow. I have lost close to 30 lbs in 3 1/2 months. I was very lucky to have had Evelyn Thai as my counselor and found her suggestions for dealing with partic... read more

I've been coming to Jumpstart for the past 5 months or so and I am in love. Where should I start? When I walk in I'm greeted so kindly, every single time I might add. The beautiful, young woman at the front says hello to everyone by their first names and I sit in awe wondering how she remembers us all. The office is cute and quaint and the area is gorgeous !!! My only complaint is the parking can be difficult at times, but it's worth it. The ladies I meet with each week are extremely knowledgeable, and I'm almost certa... read more
