Our Group is led by DSP who once weighed over 500 pounds

At our free BCS Weight Loss Support Group, consumers and staff alike share ideas on creating a sustainable healthier lifestyle.

The group is led by Ryan Kite, who in 2021 weighed 543 pounds and routinely consumed two large pizzas and a 2-liter Mountain Dew each night on third shift as a BCS Direct Support Professional.

One year later, Ryan has lost nearly 140 pounds and inspires others in the group with his tips as well as his struggles as he continues on his weight-loss journey. Consumers Mike and Paula have each lost around 80 pounds and are continuing to explore fun new food and fitness options.

The group meets at 9 a.m. Wednesdays at the agency. An evening session may be added soon. Stay tuned!
