Debbie H. has been the cheerful voice answering patient questions at the Monarch Medical Weight Loss Center call center since April 2006, when the first clinic opened in Eugene, Ore.    When you call to inquire about Monarch or book an appointment, Debbie is one of the specialists who will help you.

She knows what she's talking about. Over two years, Debbie has lost 170 pounds — and she's still losing weight!

"I just take it one day at a time, and I've incorporated eating healthy into my lifestyle," she says.

"The program is so easy to follow. It gives me an empowering feeling," she adds. "The staff is so supportive. It makes success easy and fun. "
