My name is Stacey Ferguson and I am representing the city of Elk Grove as Mrs. Elk Grove in the Mrs. California United States Pageant. I am supported by my two favorite men; my husband, Craig, and my son, Zachary. Without their love and support I would not have made it this far! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I love you all the way to God's office and back!!!







My platform, Childhood and Adult Obesity with an emphasis on exercise and nutrition, is a true concern and alarming role that is affecting our country. My goal is to make our youth and fellow adults more aware of nutritious food choices and the value of exercise. I have recently participated in a 1/2 marathon and am a current lifetime and active member of Weight Watcher's. I am actively giving workshops and speaking at various schools in the Elk Grove Unified School District to promote good nutrition and exercise. I am also volunteering at my local school teaching P.E., implementing the SPARK program. It gives me great pleasure to be teaching such a sound and reputable program that promotes physical activity for young students that is fun and effective.

Personal Journey with Weight Watchers


To my fellow followers,
I want to share with you my own personal journey with Weight Watchers. I want you to know how much I truly value such an amazing company and realize what a remarkable program they have! I started Weight Watchers right out of college. My first year of teaching I had gained some unwanted pounds due to the stress. I lost 25lbs and became a lifetime member in April of 1992. I kept my weight off after having my son at 30. I was able to maintain my weight thru Weight Watchers from 24 to 40! That's 16 years! But, getting remarried at 37 and a whole new lifestyle I found it harder after 40 to keep it off. I deviated and went for the quick fix! Jenny Craig and Nutri-System, but both those programs are not real life! Yes, I lost the weight, but didn't keep it off! At 42, after rejoining Weight Watchers in the summer, I am finally regaining my old, thinner, but muscular body back! Weight Watchers was the inspiration for me to run for Mrs. California! I will never leave Weight Watchers again!! It truly is a lifestyle, not a DIET! I have recently purchased and read the "Jean Nidetch Story," and was truly impressed that a housewife from Queens, New York who had no formal college education or nutritional background could start such an amazing company! And with such a simple concept!! Real life!! I will always be a Weight Watcher member! And do what is the only thing that works. The program that enables you to build the habits you need to keep the weight off for good!!! Slow and steady wins the race!!!

  1. I started Weight Watchers a few months ago, and I am amazed at how well it works. I need to get better at it, but I agree that it is a lifestyle change, and it doesn't happen over night. Congrats to you!
