Motivated by an increase in her blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and family medical history, UNC Healthcare employee Elaine Rogers began decreasing sugar and carbs in her diet and exercising more regularly. After losing 15 pounds, she hit a plateau. \u201cI was bored of doing it on my own\u201d she remembers, which is when she began looking for additional ideas to help reach her weight loss goals.<\/p>\n

Elaine joined the\u00a0Healthy Heels Weight Loss Program\u00a0in June 2017 and continued to lose pounds. She was \u201cstartled\u201d by the additional weight loss, noting, \u201cI\u2019ve been working on that for years and it\u2019s never budged.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elaine explains that with the support of the group and hearing other members\u2019 stories she felt she was not alone and was able to recommit to her health and weight loss goals. She remembers discussing her confidence at one of her last groups: \u201cAs I\u2019ve reached my goals, I\u2019m more motivated to keep working on it. I know I have made progress and that incentivizes me to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Elaine, Healthy Heels Weight Loss Program (HHWLP) \u201cmade a big impact.\u201d She feels she discovered resources she would not have found otherwise. Today she is happy to report she has reached her lowest weight in the past 25 years, her cholesterol and triglycerides are down and her Hemoglobin A1c is \u201clooking good.\u201d<\/p>\n

HHWLP groups meet weekly, serving 140 employees so far. Counselors provide information about healthy eating and physical activity. Group members report high satisfaction, and appreciate the nonjudgmental support and accountability the program provides.<\/p>\n

HHWLP also offers additional group and individual counseling sessions at UNC Family Medicine Center (590 Manning Drive \u2013 down the road from the main hospital) to all UNC Health Care employees.<\/p>\n

Any employee with a BMI \u226525 and willingness to make changes to their daily routine can participate.<\/p>\n
