Topher Williams says his son, Jake Williams, while living in a group home for those with health and developmental disabilities, suffered from malnutrition, dehydration and severe weight loss under the care of Catholic Health Initiatives' Friendship Inc.

20-year-old Jake Williams was born with a wide variety of health issues and has been living in a group home under CHI Friendship Inc. for the last 10 years.

Since May, Jake Williams has been in and out of the hospital a dozen times. His father says Friendship Inc. treated his son and the family well, but when the coronavirus pandemic hit in March, things changed.

"For understandable reasons, we weren't allowed to go into the house and we noticed throughout Skype conversations that he was losing weight," Williams said.

Seeing his son's health decline, in June, he and his family begged to get Jake Williams to the hospital, but Williams said that care givers refused.

"He doesn't feel pain like we do, our '10', is his 'three,' so we have pictures (showing) his left leg was twice as big as his right leg," Williams explained. "How do you not notice that and not bring him in?"

Caregivers finally agreed to a hospital visit, and his family was allowed to see him for the first time in months.

"He looked gaunt, he was incredibly bony, his spine was stick out almost like a stegosaurus," Williams said.

Jake Williams went from 80 lbs. to 63 lbs., a big drop for a person of that size.

All the explanation Williams received about the condition of his son was that "sometimes he doesn't like to eat."

Board chairwoman of the Catholic Health Initiatives Kathy Hogan has 40-plus years of experience in human services. While she isn't aware of this particular case, she says decisions on this level are up to individual teams at different locations and that Topher Williams was supposed to be included in the conversation.

"I was a little confused by a father saying, 'I don't understand that.' He should have been a member of that team," Hogan said.

After several hospital visits, Jake Williams now has a feeding tube, and has gained 6 lbs. Now Williams says Friendship Inc. won't take his son back.

"They kept coming up with reasons why they couldn't take him back, and someone brought up in a meeting that all the reasons they're giving is why your facility exists," Williams said.

Williams has filed a complaint with the state and with the Protection and Advocacy Project, an organization helping to represent those with disabilities.

Now, Topher is looking for a new home for Jake. Multiple people have reached out to WDAY, stating they've experienced similar situations.

Williams hopes no other family has to go through anything similar.

"I just don't want this to happen to any other kid, because I'm sure it's happened before and if people don't speak up, it's going to happen again," Williams said.

The Protection and Advocacy Project said they can't confirm or deny if there's an active investigation, and CHI's Friendship Inc. did not respond to WDAY's request for a comment to this story.

Hogan did say that if there is a formal abuse or neglect complaint, the board will review it.

When I look at myself now, it gives a sense of accomplishment.

I am not saying I don't feel the need to skip exercises and give excuses, but when I feel even a bit negative, or lazy, I recall all the efforts it took me to get to this point. There's no going back post that.

Also, motivation to me is not when you avoid greasy junk food when it's not around, it's about looking at it in front of you and still deciding to eat that portion of steamed Idlis.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus?

Before, for me, the problem always was the lack of time due to the busy work commitments or not having the neccessary equipment to workout. This time, I challenged myself to give it my best and not give up without trying. Now, fitness is such an important part of my life, I try and exercise, be it even doing 5 push-ups. Rhythm and coordination should not be broken.

Also, I was tired of making excuses. Excuses sound best to the person who is actually making them up. Am I 100% consistent? To tell you the truth, I am Not but I am not 50% either :).

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight? I would like to go beyond the usual cliched statements of 'clothes not fitting' or 'people making fun of you'. To me, it was always about not being at your best when you actually can with efforts and hence, losing a sense of affection for yourself.

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ Denise was suffering from excruciating pain, but surgeons said she needed to lose considerable weight before they could perform hip replacement surgery.

At nearly 300 pounds and unable to walk, she wheeled herself into the offices at the Weight Loss and Bariatric Center at Saint Peters University Hospital, desperate for help.

Today, she weighs about 120 pounds, said Carlos Aitor Macias, MD, MPH, FACS, surgical director of the Weight Loss and Bariatric Center. Shes actually within her target weight. She had the two hips replaced. Shes not in pain anymore and walking by herself.

There have been dozens of success stories like Denises since the Weight Loss and Bariatric Center opened in 2018. Dr. Macias and the staff use a proven, healthy weight loss strategy, incorporating nutrition, psychology, physical therapy, exercise and surgery all while adhering to strict COVID-19 safety guidelines and practices.

Their work has helped patients lose weight, improve their health, regain their vitality and lead richer, freer and more pain-free lives.

Obesity has been proven to contribute to heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis and certain types of cancer, according to the Centers for Disease Control. With obesity as a health crisis impacting so many issues, the center has also become is a prudent option for individuals who were previously unable to lose weight on their own.

Many of the clients working with the Weight Loss and Bariatric Center have tried fad diets, intermittent fasting, overtraining in the gym and other methods that just didnt work in the long run.

The CDC estimates that more than 40% of American adults are obese (a body mass index above 30).

Dr. Macias tells the patients at the initial consultation that the center will show them what to eat, how much to eat, how to exercise and put them on the road to weight loss and better health. But, ultimately, they are in the drivers seat.

I tell them maybe I have a bias because I like cars that the process of getting back to your ideal weight is like driving from here to New York, he said. We can give you a Formula One race car. I can even stop all the traffic on the highway so you will have the best machine you can have on the highways. But I am not driving. None of us are driving. You need to learn how to drive.

Surgery can also be a valuable tool for some patients.

At the Weight Loss and Bariatric Center, gastric bypass surgery and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy are performed. Dr. Macias said the plan is to also offer revision surgeries those done to correct a prior one.

The goal is to use the da Vinci Surgical System to perform the surgeries. This device puts a surgeons hands at the controls of a robotic platform.

The benefits of working with the robot are that it allows us to use more tools and optimize utilization of space that is limited inside the abdominal cavity, he said. The robot allows for a greater degree of freedom and movement.

The center hopes to continue to help produce happier and healthier patients like the one man who told the peer-to-peer support group via video conferencing technology that he had to throw away his old dinner plates.

He mentioned that his dishware didnt do him justice any longer because his usual typical portion size before surgery had been so much larger, Dr. Macias said. And after surgery, his food was basically occupying one-fifth of the plate. He was like, It doesnt make any sense for me to put my meal on a plate this big, so I had to change them all.

Losing weight has never been easy, but the task becomes even more challenging when the temperature takes a sharp dip. The cold weather influences our weight loss process in many ways- we become less active, we drink less water, we turn more towards processed foods for comfort and our body gets less vitamin D due to decreased sunlight. All these factors together slow down the metabolism, making it tougher for our body to shed kilos and maintain a healthy weight. Many people even tend to gain weight during winter, which in general terms is known as winter weight.

What you need to do is shift your weight loss strategy as per the change in weather. Making some positive changes in your daily routine and diet, keeping the cold weather in mind can help your stay on track and shed kilos. Here are 5 key rules to lose weight in winters.

Weight loss: 5 essential rules to lose more fat in winters - Times of India

I started by walking for 2 kilometres a day. After a while, I was able to pace up and could walk upto 5 kilometres (cover 10,000 steps) at a stretch. This became my routine. I used to go for brisk walks sometimes twice a day as well.

Low-calorie recipes I swear by It was decided that I would only have homemade food. No junk food, oily or non-vegetarian food. I turned a pure vegan for 60 days!

Fitness secrets I unveiled:

Diet and discipline are important factors for weight loss. If you mess with your diet and are non-consistent in your routine, you are not going to lose weight. All through my journey, I didn't skip my workout for a single day. No cheat meals either.

How do I stay motivated?

I could see a visible change in my appearance. That was the biggest motivator for me. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror, I was charged to do more hard work and sweat out the fat.

Additionally, I also listened to many motivational videos about weight loss. So, they also contributed to my weight loss journey.

How do you ensure you dont lose focus?

Consistency is the only thing that can get you to the finish line. Sometimes, I felt zoned out and demotivated as well, but the courage within kept me going. I knew I had to lose weight, by hook or by crook to be healthy.

I used to check my weight on the scale after every 3-4 days or twice a well. The weight reduction and visible change kept me going.

Whats the most difficult part of being overweight?

I felt that I was losing out on my confidence and productivity due to bulging weight. I failed to do many tasks and found it difficult to get up in the mornings! I knew I wasn't giving my 100%. Slowly, I started to head towards the road of negativity. Health concerns only made problems worse.

Mrs Hinch shot to fame after sharing cleaning tips on Instagram.

But as the stars following has grown to 3.8 million fans, people have become more interested in her personal life.

This is probably why the influencer, whose real name is Sophie Hinchcliffe, decided to release memoirs.

This Is Me delves into all sorts of questions from motherhood to the celebs relationship with husband Jamie.

Another question that crops up a lot is the housework wizs weight loss journey.

In her book, Mrs Hinch talks about the highs and lows of transforming her body.

Sophie, who has always battled with body confidence, used to weigh 17 stone when she was 21-years-old.

She revealed: My issues around my weight didnt really start until my late teens.

I left school and it started to creep up without me even noticing really, especially after I passed my driving test and could drive myself to McDonalds and KFC. Thats where all the trouble began!

When she was 19, Sophie joined Slimming World and managed to lose nine pounds in one week.

But when she gained a few pounds again, she felt too embarrassed to go back to the meetings.

It wasnt until Mrs Hinch suffered an embarrassing moment at a funfair that she decided to start dieting again.

She recalled: It happened at Peter Pans theme park at Southend and I was so big that I couldnt fit on the ride.

The safety bar wouldnt come down and I had to get down, feeling like the whole world was watching, pointing and laughing.

That was it. I knew I had to do whatever it took, however drastic.

Sophie did some research online and decided to get a gastric band.

The Instagram star took out a 6,000 loan from the bank and got the gastric band fitted.

For the next year, Sophie lived off smaller portions and meals like soup.

The weight loss surgery definitely helped her to shed pounds but it did lead to some complications down the line.

Two years after the op, Sophie was rushed to hospital after her band slipped.

She also faced further complications after excess skin removal surgery that led to a serious infection.

Thankfully, Mrs Hinch recovered from the infection.

In total, she lost around eight stone from the gastric band surgery.

But even then, Sophie doesnt feel completely comfortable in her skin.

In her book, the star reveals having baby Ronnie has helped her to be a bit more accepting of her body though.

She added: Pregnancy and childbirth have definitely made me think: I might not love my body but look at what my body just managed!

When Tiffany Haddish picked up her Peoples Choice Award this past weekend for Female Movie Star of 2020, she looked radiant. A part of that was due to the fact that the stars haircut flattered her quite well, and the Prabal Gurung gown was a win. Her glow can also be attributed to the fact that shes lost 40 pounds this year. She shared the news in a new interview with EXTRA, saying shes done an overhaul of her life, both physically and emotionally.

I lost 40 pounds. Ive been working out and eating right and getting my little life together, she said. Im not gonna lie to you, my knees was hurting a lot in 2019. I was carrying a lot of things around, a lot of weight, unnecessary weight, a lot of unnecessary hurt. Just a lot of things. I had to let all that go a lot of mental hurt. A lot of things. I let a lot of that go. I was carrying a lot of hair. I let that go. But I just really wanted to see my scalp on that one. I aint gonna lie.

During an interview on Steve-Os Wild Ride podcast in the summer, Haddish revealed that she had already lost 20 pounds and attributed that to her being healthy and happy in her relationship with boyfriend Common.

Ive lost 20 pounds since Ive been in this relationship, she said at the time. I feel more confident in me and its not him thats doing it.

She said that the romantic fulfillment came from knowing I got somebody that cares about me, that really has my back.

How sweet. Fast forward to November and past rumors that they split, which they cleared up, and the newly slimmed down star is looking forward to celebrating her 41st birthday with him on December 3.
