How Kathy Lost 203 Pounds With Merit: A Weight Loss Success Story
From Waiting Lists to Real Results
When Kathy first thought about losing weight, she wasn’t sure where to begin.
Her daughter-in-law, Mandy, had heard about people seeing great results with a medication called Mounjaro. She encouraged Kathy to ask her doctor about it. Months later, when Kathy visited her primary care provider, he brought it up too.
Kathy tried to join a weight loss program but spent months stuck on a waitlist — and never heard back.
Then, she found Merit.
“I heard about Merit and called and got an appointment within one week,” Kathy shared. “That was the beginning of this incredible, wonderful journey I’ve been on.”
Celebrating Personal Victories
Kathy didn’t just lose weight — she rebuilt her confidence and discovered joy along the way.
“I set personal goals for myself and treated myself to something special when I reached them,” she said.
What has meant the most? The love and encouragement from her grown children, family, and friends.
“It’s great when people who haven’t seen me in months or years tell me how nice I look.”
A Support System That Made All the Difference
At Merit, Kathy found more than just a weight loss plan — she found a team who truly cared.
“Merit is wonderful, I love everyone here! I feel like I have new friends,” Kathy said. “They always treat you like you are their only client that day. They never rush you and always give you encouragement when you need it most.”
Even when her weight fluctuated a bit, the Merit team was there with support and fresh ideas to help her move forward.

“To be very honest, I felt good about being at Merit the first day I walked in the door. Their office is simply beautiful. Everyone there is so nice, they are always so happy to see you and smiling, they just make you feel right at home.”
Life After Losing 203 Pounds
Kathy’s transformation has been about more than the number on the scale — it has opened doors to a whole new life.
“I know my weight has kept me grounded for a number of years and I have not been able to travel or do a lot of things with family and friends,” she shared.
