“We have been in the program, on and off, for about 2 years. We had a lot of struggles with transportation and Saturday school hours to keep Ervin going regularly. However, since sitting down with the Live Light Team we realized the importance of keeping up with the exercise program and the medical appointments. We have made a commitment to ourselves to go to the classes and medical appointments more regularly. The program has made our whole family more aware of how important it is to exercise, to eat the right foods and how to handle stress in our everyday lives. We also learned how to read nutrition labels, which has really helped us a lot. The children in the program are also really nice to each other. We look forward in continuing with the program!”
Because Nothing Should Weigh a Child Down
“We have been in the program for almost 2 years. We learned that the reason why Deondre wasn’t losing weight was because the doctor’s explained that his pancreas is creating too much insulin. Not even his pediatric physician was able to give us this information. Dr. Dhuper was able to educate us as to why this was happening to Deondre. This information was invaluable to us! Our frustrations subsided and we were able to create a plan of action with the Live Light team to increase his physical activity as well as taking the correct medication. So now that we know the problem, the creation of too much insulin, he will be regulated and will be able to lose what he is supposed to lose. We really found our partners with the Live Light Team!”
