What did you like most about the program?

• It was inexpensive
• The variety of the meetings – not just lectures
• It was nice to have my child be with kids who felt as she does about her weight – she didn’t feel so alone
• It stressed positive eating habits but also included fun activities like the snack
• The awareness given to my daughter; the opportunity to be with other children that share her same problem
• It was grand for young people; the program was positive – what you can do instead of a lot of “don’ts”
• My son learned some things from you that we had told him but it counted now; the serving sizes came in handy several times to slow him down
• I like when we went to Wegmans together and went shopping finding out the calories and fats in foods; also the recipes that are high in fat and lowering or taking away the fat.
• The information the kids were given and the relationships and self-confidence gained
• Friendly teachers; encouragement for kids/parents to participate in discussions; information was great!  Very understandable to my child
• The kids actually got to go shopping where they read labels
• That they consistently said the same thing about the benefits of eating healthy; then they gave examples
• The instructors – I like the fact that they want to help, it’s not only a job, but it’s a goal to help the kids

• My son enjoyed this program, I thought it was well taught
• We enjoyed the program – it taught her and me a lot of things we should know about calories and fat
• Great program!  Keep up the good work!
• I felt the instructors were very well-prepared and helpful; the days I attended the classes I learned a lot
• Thanks for taking the time out to teach my child
• I’m grateful to have found this program; it supported the things that I tired to instill in them as well as a support to help boost their self-esteem
• He did learn a lot; he thinks now about what he’s eating
• Thank you for the newfound awareness in my child and the fact that she does pay attention to what she is eating and does read labels, trying to eat more healthy.  That is something that I could not teach her or get through to her, no matter how many times I told her.
