Losing weight is easy enough to dream about, but, like reaching Atlantis via unicycle, it is difficult to execute in real life. Manifest your subconscious ambitions with today’s Groupon: for $69, you get a four-week medically supervised weight-loss program at Dr. Solano’s Ageless & Wellness Medical Center in Mequon. The program includes:
- An initial exam (up to a $175 value)
- Physician lab test evaluation (Lab tests including CBC, CMP, TSH, FreeT3, FreeT4, and a cholesterol panel (a $30 value; typically covered by insurance)
- A custom diet plan (an $80 value)
- Follow-up visits (up to a $100 value each)
- Free access to an online calorie and exercise tracker
Dr. Alexandra Solano, physician and founder of Dr. Solano’s Ageless & Wellness Medical Center, helps patients to realize their health and weight goals by implementing the Ultra Lite program, which promotes weight loss through nutrition, fitness, and dietary supplements. During an initial consultation, a physician or medical assistant performs a comprehensive medical screening and reviews trends from a four-page online questionnaire that can identify food allergies, biochemical imbalances, or lead-plated organs that can hinder weight loss. A medley of lab tests supplies data on thyroid functioning, cholesterol levels, and metabolism, which Dr. Solano uses to generate a custom diet plan that boosts fat burning with a balance of proteins and carbohydrates spread across three daily meals.
Patients track calories and workouts online and discuss their weekly progress with a physician or medical assistant during four weekly follow-up visits. Though not included in this Groupon, the program recommends a concurrent regimen of dietary supplements and nutraceuticals to help patients to meet the FDA’s recommended daily allowance of vitamin-shaped foods.

The Groupon Guide to: Being a Good Friend
Though many of life's accomplishments are important—working as a reading tutor, not setting fire to every mailbox you happen to pass—only one accomplishment matters in the long run: being a good friend. Follow these friendship tips to separating besties from the resties:
• Every time you're drinking something, offer your friend a sip from your glass. If they decline, show them there's nothing to worry about by sterilizing your own mouth with a crème brûlée torch.
• Pick up the check whenever possible—but don’t stop there. Use your intimate knowledge of your friend to glean possible passwords to their online bank accounts and transfer their funds into a high-yield CD just in case they want to save up to go to college again.
• What's your friend's favorite animal? Do they own one yet? Could you conceivably get them one? Keep in mind that the word "impossible" was most likely invented by a bad friend.
