Deanna’s Transformation Story

The Weigh Station Success Story

I made the decision to walk in the front door of The Weigh Station the second week of December, 2012. Most told me I was crazy to try to get healthy around the holidays but I knew if I didn’t do it, I would pack on another 20lbs. So began my journey that I am very thankful for! I am now 36lbs lighter and still losing [weight]. Judy, one of the nurses at The Weigh Station, asked me, “What is different this go around?” For years, even though I was overweight, each time I went for a physical I received a clean bill of health.

But I didn’t feel good, I knew I was overweight and felt ashamed. The eye opener for me was when the doctors at The Weigh Station told me I had insulin intolerance. It was the ammunition I needed to stop eating all the sugar and carbs.

Once I stopped the constant cravings for food, my hunger subsided within 4-6 days. My days now are not all about food. I don’t daydream anymore about where I will go for lunch, or what treat I will get myself in the afternoon.

I am very fortunate to have my employer, CCS Inc., take a vested interest in my health as well. The Weigh Station schedules quarterly health screenings which our company Wellness team has turned into a competition. We are encouraged by the motivating team at The Weigh Station, my fellow employees, and the leadership team at CCS Inc. It is extremely helpful to have the backing of The Weigh Station at work and outside of work. Talk about accountability!

I tell folks this is not a “diet” but rather the way I will choose to eat from now on. I am learning how to nourish my body with healthy foods and it feels wonderful! Signing up for The Weigh Station was the best decision I made and perfect timing as I am looking forward to being able to wear shorts this summer without embarrassment! Thank you to the team at The Weigh Station and to CCS Inc.!
