It's easier for an unpleasant man made of non-biodegradable polystyrene to befriend an environmentalist than it is for many people to lose weight. Take the helping hand of science with today's deal: for $79, you get a comprehensive medical weight-loss package, which includes a one-month structured program (a $199 value) and four B-12 injections (a $55 value) from WeightLoss MD. Choose from its four locations in Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Norcross, or Atlanta. Today's Groupon is valid for new patients only.

WeightLoss MD specializes in creating safe, effective weight-loss programs to address the weight-loss goals of individuals. Its staff consists of board-certified doctors, medical assistants, and registered dietitians, all experts in their field and eager to ease the weight-loss struggle. By purchasing today's Groupon, you're enrolling in a one-month program that consists of five visits with the WeightLoss MD staff:

• Visit One involves paperwork and testing, which includes blood work, an EKG, body-fat analysis, and urine analysis. The friendly staff will take your weight and an optional photo, check your blood pressure, and offer a general orientation to the program ahead.

• Visit Two involves seeing the doctor to get a personal diet plan and program book. The results of the tests will be checked, and if it's determined to be safe, you'll be given prescription appetite suppressants and the first of four B-12 injections.

• Visit Three happens one week later (the subsequent two appointments will also occur at week-long intervals). Here you'll get your second B-12 shot and review your progress with a nurse, discussing any concerns, or, barring concerns, the local badmitton team. Next, if you so choose, you'll see a dietitian for one hour to further refine and personalize your diet.

• Visit Four includes the third B-12 shot and another nurse-based progress check.

• Visit Five concludes the B-12 shots with a fourth injection. You'll review your progress with the nurse and take stock of how far you've come over the course of one month.

Weight loss is a long and winding road full of obstructive boulders, discouraging, foul-mouthed tortoises, and insidious cheesecake installations. Getting professional help from trained experts is infinitely preferable to getting amateur help from sophomoric infomercial spokesmen who only want to sell enough vibrating torso belts to control the minds of all the world’s torsos. A weight-loss package from WeightLoss MD is a medically sound and fully personalized way to kick-start a rocket ship to a healthier, happier life.
