Succeed, Kids!

Feed To Succeed, LLC - Pediatric Weight Management Program

Succeed, Kids! is a ground-breaking, cost-affordable, eight-week family-oriented program designed to help kids struggling with obesity.

Succeed, Kids!, currently led by Betsy Hjelmgren of Feed to Succeed, LLC, is an eight week course designed to increase knowledge about healthy eating and exercise habits, and teach skills to succeed while achieving a healthy weight. Both individual and group counseling occur during the course. Participants will graduate with the skills necessary for long-term success.

Read on to see if you or your child qualifies for Succeed, Kids!

Here are the two basic criteria:
1) One or more children in a family are overweight.
2) There must be an earnest desire for change.

If this applies, please call us. We're ready to facilitate that change! If you have questions, or your child has not yet reached their 2nd birthday, please call us and we will work to accommodate you.

Families participating in the Succeed, Kids! program must commit one child and one parent to attend all eight sessions. When possible, two parents/guardians are encouraged to attend.

Succeed, Kids! provides participants with a variety of tools necessary to succeed including:
1. How to accurately track and chart weight and body measurements
2. How to accurately and effectively chart exercise.
3. How to keep a food diary.
4. How to correctly read nutrition labels.
5. How to plan weekly meals that meet the healthy guidelines for the child.
...and much much more.

Each week, Succeed, Kids! participants will track progress, discuss barriers to change, discuss motivation, learn about and receive educational information regarding the weekly nutrition topic, share experiences of the past week, plan meals and shopping for the upcoming week, and set new weekly goals. At the end of the Succeed, Kids! program, participants will have the opportunity to opt into a monthly follow-up program.
