“Anna-Lisa started the program when she was 9 years old. I started to see that her eating habits were not good and that she started to gain weight. She was getting food from her father that wasn’t healthy. I spoke to my insurance company and asked them to help, but they were of no help. I become very worried and asked my pediatrician if she could recommend a program to help us. The Live Light Live Right program has helped us tremendously. The exercise program has kept our daughter very active. The physician’s have helped me help my daughter. My husband and I are now on the same page in helping our family. I don’t know what I would do if we hadn’t found the Live Light Live Right Program. Anna-Lisa has taken charge of her own health thanks to the program.”
Because Nothing Should Weigh a Child Down
“Darieka started with the program over 6 years ago. We were referred by our pediatrician because Darieka was overweight. Darieka really likes the exercise classes. She really likes the friends that she has made. The trainer’s have taught her so much that even sometimes she works out at home. She makes us exercise with her at home! Her dad is a big motivation for her so he is always talking to her about eating right, exercising and to not drink too much juice and soda. She has recently told us that because of her participation in the Live Light program that she would like to become a certified trainer to teach classes when she gets a little older. We are really proud of her determination. We don’t know what we would have done without the help of the Live Light Live Right Program.”
“About 4 years ago our pediatrician mentioned to us that Seydi could benefit from the Live Light Live Right Program. When we had our first meeting I was quite impressed by the professionalism of the whole staff. The doctor’s were really great in explaining the disease of obesity to us, which gave us comfort in knowing that we had the ability to make changes that would help Seydi and our whole family. Our family is completely supportive of Seydi by encouraging him to participate in the exercise program and also by giving him advice as to what to eat. We have made changes as a family. This is not only Seydi’s challenge but a challenge for our whole family. With the support of the Live Light Live Right program we are able to give our son the best support. We are very grateful.”
“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!”
“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!”
