Unhealthy to FUNhealthy!
Apr 14, 2015- I love being in South Carolina and at MindStream Academy. I never thought I would be 214 pounds when I arrived here first weighing 326 pounds. I want to join the military and am confident that I will be able to because I love exercising and I am a leader and role model to my peers now. Now I know if I train a little harder I can do anything.
- I left my previous school because of anger and weight issues; I was lost and wieght was the secondary problem. I began attending MindStream and my time here has been a huge success. I have slimmed down, but most importantly, I have beomce stronger mentally and physically. Overall, I'm a happier less stressed and much stronger. I am a better, kinder person.
- I was only 15 years old and weighed 275 pounds when I received an invitation to MindStream. I met every single goal I came here with. The girl that I was is completely gone now and I will never see her again. This new girl is happy, outgoing and believes in herself.
