The Wellspring Plan for Weight Loss
Wellspring is known as a leader in the field of scientifically-based weight loss research. Our guests lose a remarkable amount of weight during their time with us (an average of 2-5 pounds per week), and over 70% keep the weight off (or continue losing weight) when they return home.
These weight loss results, which are published each year in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented at obesity conferences, are among the best ever reported in scientific literature about weight loss.
The success that our guests enjoy is the result of the Wellspring Plan, a simple and sustainable approach to weight loss developed by researchers from top universities.
The Wellspring Plan includes:
Diet Management: Delicious, healthful food that you will love. We understand that food is an enjoyable and important part of life, and we want you to “love the food that loves you back.” Culinary lessons with professional chefs will teach you how to bring the Wellspring-friendly menu back home with you, and group outings to local restaurants and grocery stores will prepare you to make healthy choices in any setting.
Activity Management: You'll learn how good it feels to be physically active through fitness classes, personal training and outdoor adventures, all designed to meet your personal weight loss goals. You'll have lots of activities to choose from and we'll make sure you're working at a pace that's comfortable for you.
Behavior Management: Guests of the Wellspring Women's Program experience more than just weight loss. Self-confidence increases, positive attitudes re-emerge, supportive friendships form, and healthier habits develop. Guiding this process is our team of Behavior Coaches, Masters and Doctoral level therapists who work with guests on important skills like stress management, healthy communication, and overcoming weight loss barriers.
Continuing Care: Guests have ongoing support from our staff of Behavior Coaches, as well as online self-monitoring, through June 1, 2012. Wellspring's weight loss research indicates how essential this continued support is for long-term success. So to encourage full participation, we offer a $700 Continuing Care Award for those that complete the first 3 months of Continuing Care after leaving the program.
