This two year journey has been amazing!

It began after undergoing two ankle replacement surgeries in March and November of 2019. The ankle degeneration was due to several football injuries and eight surgeries spanning over 32 years time. My new ankles gave me a fresh perspective on life and a second chance to walk without constant pain.

I was ready to build on this and I knew I needed help with my weight. So, I inquired during my follow up visit. My Dr. told me about Weigh to Wellness Denver.

I first met Dr. Rebecca via Zoom during the pandemic in October of 2020. She not only assured me that she wouldn’t give up on me, but, calmed my anxiety, taught me about weight loss and told me that help, treatment and success were all available to me.

For the first time in years I can honestly say I felt a sense of peace, and there was a direction, a doorway I could walk through. Since I can no longer run, I began with small walks to my block’s stop sign and back. I started increasing pace and distance and started seeing small improvements. I began feeling and thinking better. I would meet with Dr. Rebecca again and again as she continued to coach me and take care of all my questions and concerns. She’d listen to all my stories too, ha-ha!

I began to notice a transformation and how my goals were becoming bigger and bigger. In fact, just this past summer, I completed the Greenland Half Marathon where I walked 15 miles! I’ve completed more than 185 miles since January 2022!! I’ve never felt better! Today, I love hiking Colorado and enjoy places I haven’t seen in more than 35 years!

I have life, I have me and It feels good! 

All I needed was someone to believe in me and give me a chance to succeed! Weigh to Wellness Denver has the tools, the people, the patience and the resources to help you accomplish your outcome and to live your life! You don’t need to do it alone.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step!”

Can’t wait for 2023 and beyond!

Thank you!
