Weight Loss
Step-by-Step Advice on How to Lose the Weight and Keep it Off
Since Calhoun County has an obesity rate of 34%, which exceeds the state and national averages, we at the health department are making efforts to address this problem. This website is for our residents who are interested in losing weight.
Here you will find tips, resources and motivation to begin your own weight loss program.
We are also offering free weight loss counseling for our patients, forming community outreach programs, and listing health tips in the local newspaper, The County Record, to help everyone stay healthy.
This journey is all about your health, so make that your primary focus. However, feel free to get family and friends involved for support and motivation. Remember, losing weight the right way means making lifestyle changes, so make positive changes you can maintain for life.

-
Make a plan that fits your budget, lifestyle, daily routine, and satisfies your family’s needs.

-
Join a support group or walking club.
