Success Stories
When women take time out of their busy lives for a weight loss vacation at Wellspring La Jolla, amazing things happen in their lives—they become happier and more positive, have closer relationships with friends and family, and gain the confidence to take on new challenges in their lives.
Christine G., North Carolina
The Women's Program at Wellspring La Jolla brought out the best in me. I think I can appreciate myself for once and it's not just because I'm smaller. I could have taken some pills or some magical potion to drop the inches, but I wouldn't have appreciated what I had done. I have a lot of pride in what I've done. I really love me, and I have this urge to change the world and make it better."
Crystal S., San Diego
"After dropping over 85 pounds I am truly blessed to be in a position where I can constantly inspire and motivate other women to take back their lives. God truly works in incredible ways. I can never be thankful enough for the entire La Jolla family."
Laurie H., Kansas City
"I had been talking about, half trying, going through the motions, wanting and "deciding" to lose weight for a good 8 years. Once I finally decided to get serious, I found La Jolla.
Other than saying "YES" to my husband's marriage proposal, I can't think of a more important leap of faith decision that has changed my life forever.
What an amazing 9 weeks!
The Women's Program at Wellspring La Jolla is a gift.
- A gift that someone cares enough about the health and well being of others to provide this wonderful learning environment year after year.
- A gift to be around energetic health and fitness specialists whose dedicated instruction, motivation, and guidance are inspiring.
- A gift to yourself where you are truly your only priority.
- A gift to be around wonderful women from all walks of life who share a common goal of being the best they can be. Amazing!

- A gift of a fitness and lifestyle jump start that you simply cannot re-create in your normal everyday life.
- A gift of true life skills that will help you succeed in all aspects of your life.
- A gift that will keep giving day after day.
- A gift that is worth every penny and more than you spend on it.
If you are finally ready to get serious about being the best that you can personally be, I know that Wellspring Women's Program is for you! I lost 35 lbs during my stay at Camp and a total of 90 lbs to date!"
"Wellspring was life-changing and probably life-saving for me."
-Kathy, lost 6 lbs in one week,
and another 43 lbs since returning home.
"I would come to Wellspring again and again for the adventure, to get away from the office, to be outdoors, and to enjoy a vacation where I have time to focus specifically on my body."
-Sarah, has continued losing weight
since her Wellspring vacation.
"Before Wellspring, I didn't feel good and couldn't do a lot of the things I wanted to do to enjoy myself. I felt like eating poorly was something I had earned the right to do.
But with Wellspring, the approach to weight loss makes sense – is was logical and had reasoning behind it.There are not any maintenance costs (like buying pills, buying special food, keep coming back for more training) that are so prevalent in other programs.
The staff and activities made Wellspring FUN and REWARDING. Although food was one of the question marks for me at the beginning, I learned that healthy foods can be prepared by anyone, can fill you up, and taste GOOD.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy was probably the most important. It was the place where I learned that I was not alone in my doubts and bad habits, AND also not alone in my need to fight to get better.
Not only did I receive the gift of good health from my vacation, but I treasure the friendships I made during our sessions. Outside of having a family, I don't believe I have ever done anything which has had such an impact.
I know living healthy will be a never-ending challenge, but Wellspring has given me the tools and hope to meet the challenge."
