Welcome to Transformation Weight Control!
Have you lost and gained weight before?
Many of our participants have lost and gained weight multiple times, in some cases hundreds of pounds. We’re committed to helping you control your weight, that is, losing weight and prevention of regaining it. Ninety-two percent of our participants lose weight, and over a 6-year period after our program more than two-thirds continue to lose or prevent regaining the weight they’ve lost.
How We Help You
We provide you with authoritative, research-based information and strategies for weight loss through group sessions. We believe overweight and obesity are chronic diseases, and for many an addiction, so we offer our follow-up program where you can continue for as long as you like. We know the challenges of controlling weight… we’ve been doing this for more than 30 years. Group sessions are proven effective for weight control (losing it and prevention of regaining it); they build camaraderie, support, and a chance to interact with peers who “get it”. Depending on the group, leaders will include a psychologist, registered dietitian, and exercise physiologist, all with expertise and experience in helping you control your weight. We are 100% committed to your success and work as hard as possible to help you achieve your goals.

Meet Your Coach!
Rich Weil, M.Ed., CDE
WELCOME! How’d I come up with the name Transformation? I’m in the 43rd year of my career, and I started thinking about the many comments I’ve frequently made to my clients and patients over all these years, and “transform yourself” kept popping up. It was a natural. Let us help you transform you!
I don’t know a soul on this planet who woke up one day and said, “Gee, wouldn’t it be great to have a problem with my weight.” The problems with your weight are not a lack of willpower, not a lack of self-discipline, moral failing, nor some weird character flaw. It’s not your fault. Join us… we’ll tell it how it is, and we’ll show you what to do.
