He has been telling people in Fort Wayne about the weather for 30 years, first as Chief Meteorologist at WKJG and then, starting in 2005, at WANE 15. Greg is the most educated and experienced meteorologist in Fort Wayne because of this. He is called the “dean” of the city’s meteorologists because of this.
Greg Shoup has the support of the American Meteorological Society. He was the head of the local AMS chapter in the past. As head of the area AMS, Greg was in charge of a big effort to keep the National Weather Service in northern Indiana.
Mark Souder, who used to serve Indiana’s third congressional district, chose Greg to lead a special congressional committee to help him with technical questions about Nexrad radar and its installation in northern Indiana.
Let’s find out more about Greg Shoup’s health and illness.
Greg Shoup’s health and illness: What happened to the meteorologist?

People are interested in Greg Shoup’s Illness because he has lost a lot of weight lately. When Greg Shoup goes out in public these days, he gets asked a lot more about his weight loss than about the weather.
After losing 110 pounds, the man in the Brooks Brothers suit looks nothing like the big-muscled meteorologist WANE-TV watchers were used to seeing.
“Everyone wants to know how I did it,” says Shoup. But this is not a secret. Every day, people face hard times. Shoup started working out a few years ago, but she didn’t change anything about what she ate. He worked on getting fitter, but he didn’t lose a lot of weight.
He cut back on sugar and calories more lately, and over the course of 14 months, he lost 110 pounds. His doctor told him to hire a personal trainer because he was worried about him losing both fat and strength.
Shoup is putting it all together now. He no longer tries to convince himself that his crazy early work schedule is a good reason to drink a lot of sugar and caffeine or that his painful knee problem, which makes even walking hard, is a good reason to skip the gym.
Shoup says it’s not easy. But I often tell them, “If I can do it, anyone can.”
Greg Shoup was a gym addict
Shoup is wearing a leg brace, but his pants cover it up. He has gout that runs in his family, his knees have “almost no cartilage left,” and nerve damage in one leg.
Even so, he uses the exercise machine at Catalyst Fitness at 2488 Getz Road most weekday afternoons before he uses the weight machines. Before he leaves the station, he changes into his gym clothes so he can stay on track with his plan.
Even though he works out on his own now, he thanks his personal trainer, Alicia Brubaker, for helping him make an exercise plan. He now focuses on what he can do instead of what he can’t.
He says, “I just don’t think about the limits.” Shoup says, “There are so many things I can do.” He wants a faster metabolism, which comes with more muscle, not a chiseled look.
Getting his legs stronger will also help with the knee replacement surgery he will need to have in the future. He says, “I’ve kind of become addicted to the gym.” “This is my “Hour of Power,” as I like to call it.”
Shoup says he doesn’t want steak or pizza anymore and hasn’t had either in months. He now sees food mostly as power. He often eats dinner with his wife, Claudia Johnson, who is the KPC Media Marketing Manager. Since then, she has lost a lot of weight.
