Success story from one of our participants in the FRESH treatment study:

"My involvement with FRESH, from my perspective, was one of the best decisions my family has ever made. I have stopped gaining weight and started losing weight---15 pounds! However, I would have never thought about losing weight and eating healthier if my mom hadn't brought up the idea of joining the FRESH program. Now that I'm done with FRESH, I feel happier, healthier and I know that I'm leading a better lifestyle. As my dad says, you're going in the right direction. One of my favorite things about FRESH is that they have motivations and goals for losing weight. If you do the right things, you can have fun, but still healthy, treats like a sledding trip and a shopping spree! Even though the goals are gone, I still feel as motivated as ever because I know that living a healthy lifestyle is what's best for my body. Now, whenever I go anywhere, people always comment on how good and different I look. Even my friends have noticed! Thanks, FRESH, for changing my life!"
