Some children who attend weight loss camp believe they can eat everything in sight before camp begins because they will lose the weight there. Now is actually the time to start working on a before-camp program in order to start off on the right foot.

Campers who incorporate some of the below tools usually adjust better during the first week at camp.

How many do you think you can accomplish?

• Try to take a daily walk for a half-hour at a steady pace or go for a three-mile bike ride.
• Spend more time outside in the fresh air, not inside.
• Write a list of things you’d like to learn and/or accomplish at camp, and bring it to camp.
• E-mail Ira some activities that you have done that were fun and could possibly be done at camp.
• If you enjoy writing, start a diary or journal now.
• Take some private time for yourself (15 minutes a day) to simply relax and think about the great times ahead at camp. It really is FUN!
• E-mail other campers – plenty of Camp Shining Stars alumni would love to hear from you and answer questions.
• Don’t hesitate to ask for help; we all need somebody to lean on.
• Thank your parents for this opportunity. Say these words to them: “I Love You.”

From Day One at Camp Shining Stars campers learn to develop a game plan for life at home after camp.

Here are some of the questions a game plan should address:

• What daily and weekly exercise will I enjoy?
• Who will be part of my support system?
• What is my new food plan, how many calories should I consume now?
• How do I handle school lunch?
• How can I balance all that I need to do for my health with all my school work?
• What must I do to achieve long-term success?
• How can I continue friendships made at camp, and what role will they and my friends at home play in my success?
• What if I have a relapse?
• Do I deserve the happiness I find from my new-found health and wellness?

I hope you’re ready for the exciting challenges and the great and memorable experiences of Camp Shining Stars. I look forward to seeing you there. Get ready to Soar!

Jan will be a speaker once again at Camp Shining Stars “Where Winners LOSE!” this summer. She is a dear friend and an inspiration for children and adults.

DURHAM — Come meet a lady who will take away all of your excuses.

Every last one of them.

Like fine wine Jan Croft gets better with age.

She’s doing things at 70 she couldn’t do decades ago, because decades ago Croft was — there’s a more delicate way to say this, but even she’d tell you it is what it is — too fat.

Not any more. Croft’s about 149 pounds now. She used to be 250. And no snake oil here. Just hard work, like lifting weights, and she did a lot of disciplined reps of pushing away from greasy dinner tables.

That has a lot to do with why Croft just returned from an April trip to Mount Everest, on the border of Nepal and Tibet. She didn’t climb the tallest mountain in the world but did what’s known as trekking, where the goal is not reaching a mountain’s peak but rather dwelling lower on the big rock and taking in the scenery.

A trekker still attains some pretty steep heights and needs to be in shape to do it, according to Greg McElveen, director of the Duke Sports Performance Program.

Besides trekking, Croft spent time working in an orphanage in Katmandu. She trekked Everest back in 2008, and also a decade before that. It’s been a real journey.

Carrying 250 pounds when you’re only 5-foot-3 is miserable, to hear Croft tell it. A life of fried pork chops and gravy will do that to you, she said.

Fed up, Croft gave Durham’s Rice Diet Program a try. She didn’t have anything to lose — except a bunch of weight.

Yet just two days into what was supposed to change her life, the doctor’s report came back screaming, BREAST CANCER!

Croft actually got the news on her birthday and was ready to give up on losing weight in order to focus on dealing with cancer, said the Rice Diet Program’s Kitty Rosati. But Rice Diet Program director Robert Rosati told Croft his regimen was just what she needed to beat cancer.

Croft didn’t do any chemotherapy. She had a lumpectomy and radiation treatments.

And she started eating fruit and steamed vegetables and a lot of rice. And the weight came off.

“She had a wake-up call when she came here,” Kitty Rosati said. “She has an incredible ability to put her head down and commit herself to a direction. … She wanted to be healed. She committed to the diet and exercised to a T.”

Right along here is where McElveen enters the equation. He wouldn’t call himself a guru, but Croft trusts him like he’s one.

While trekking Everest, Croft recalled 20- and 30-year-olds slipping on loose rocks. But Croft was rock steady, because McElveen’s functional exercises strengthened her core and turned her legs into oak trees.

Before leaving for Everest, McElveen had Croft spending up to five hours a day wearing a book bag with weights. Croft performed a similar exercise Friday during a workout with McElveen, who is convinced his client will do Everest, again.

Croft claimed she’s done with all of that trekking.

“I’m 70 years old,” Croft insisted.

McElveen’s not buying it. She’s talked like that before and wound up back north of India to trek Everest. That’s why he was making her sweat Friday.

“I know she’s going to get an itch to do something else,” said McElveen, who explained that older folks like Croft still can build muscle.

Of course, the Durham Senior Games offer Croft an outlet for her physicality. Then again, Croft’s so healthy and strong, stuff like that might not even challenge her.

“Probably not,” said Croft.

McElveen said Croft will ask which variations of his exercises are the hardest and choose those. That’s just who she is, McElveen said.

“She takes away all the excuses,” said McElveen, who puts Croft’s physical age in the category of a healthy, active 50-year-old.

In her book, “The Rice Diet Renewal: A Healing 30-Day Program for Lasting Weight Loss,” Kitty Rosati incorporates Croft’s philosophy of not viewing herself as a cancer survivor but instead as a conqueror.

“The connotation of a conqueror is what she takes on when she goes to base camp of Mount Everest at 70 years of age,” Kitty Rosati said.

Croft conquered cancer, and she conquered gluttony, Kitty Rosati explained.

“An overeating addiction can be more challenging to heal than a heroin one,” said Kitty Rosati, a specialist in the treatment of chronic diseases. “Being 30 pounds overweight can be life or death.”

Croft looked within, pulled out the excuses and chucked those bad boys.

“I beat cancer, and I want other people to know you can do it,” Croft said.

Hi everyone, I’m Ira Green, director of Camp Shining Stars “Where Winners LOSE!” the premiere non-profit weight loss camp for children ages 11-18.

I want to tell you all about a great discovery I made last summer when Stacey Halprin and her dog, Tushy, arrived and enriched the Shining Stars community.

I honestly knew very little about Stacey personally. I only knew she was struggling with her weight, that she had been a guest many times on “Oprah” that she co-starred in the 2002 movie Dress Code and had written the book Winning After Losing.

I must admit I had a concern about Stacey’s approaching arrival at Camp Shining Stars. I didn’t know if she would come merely to help only herself with a head start toward more weight loss and a healthier life, or to honestly be part of our camp family.

On the first night of camp however, when we presented our traditional staff talent show, Stacey overwhelmed the audience with her talent. I could plainly see that the camp life and attitude was in her soul.

She personifies every quality I look for in my staff: dedication and commitment, fun-loving, an understanding and nurturing heart, and leadership and team spirit.

Many campers who watched Stacey in her movie role thought she wore a body suit because she was more than 300 pounds heavier at the time the movie was produced. Of course, the children loved having a “movie star” as one of their own.

Stacey opened her heart to the children and shared her personal struggles with obesity, the discrimination and loneliness, the sadness and fear.

Her personal dedication to the work and honesty required for self-improvement inspired every camper. Though Stacey has no children of her own, she attracted to herself a family of children that loved her unconditionally, just as she came to love them. She taught them to serve her master, Michael, with the same dedication and devoti0n that she did.

Stacey taught the beautiful campers how to apply make-up, and became a role model for personal grooming and positive self-image.

I’ve taken this opportunity to boast a bit about my “discovery” of the treasure named Stacey Halprin because I am excited to say that Stacey is returning this year to Camp Shining Stars, “Where Winners LOSE!” for another season of achievement. It promises to be an even greater summer!

Spending a summer at Camp Shining Stars is a transformational experience for children.

Shining Stars’ campers are accepted unconditionally in a safe, nurturing and structured environment where they have fun while learning proven tools for success.

Here are just some of the rewards and inspiration your child will receive from the Camp Shining Stars experience:

* Lasting friendships with those who understand and face many of the same challenges in their lives.
* The inspiration of other youths who are succeeding through dedicated staff guidance, while your child shares his or her own achievements to inspire others in need.
* A sense of positive self-interest.
* Improved health and fitness that leads to a sense of well-being.
* Healthy sustainable weight loss.
* Learning to love unconditionally.
* A sense of personal accountability.
* The adventure of new discoveries and the challenge of setting new goals and plans to accomplish them.
* Finding a sense of balance in their life.
* A sense of belonging and validation of your child’s worth and importance in a healthy community.

If this is the person you have hoped your child to become as he or she strides toward adulthood, Camp Shining Stars is the place where it all begins.

Let your child Reach for the Stars!
You will be amazed by the results when they return to you.

Every camper in the last 9 years who registered for the summer has lost more than 10 pounds!

Which also equals the amount of calories in:

• 59 Happy Meals (a hamburger, small fry, and small soda)
• 48 Milkshakes
• 95 Chicken Caesar Salads from Wendy’s
• 159 BoBerry Biscuits from Bojangles
• 388 cups of skim milk
• 1,400 large marsh mellows
• 167 slices of Domino’s pepperoni pizza
• 65 Big Macs

To burn off THAT many calories … you would have to:

-   Run 350 miles @ 6 miles/hour

-   Play 88 hours of tennis

-   Play 75 hours of water polo

-   Moderately swim for 70 hours

-   Lift weights for 205 hours

-   Houseclean for 150 hours

-   Bike ride (moderate effort) for 75 hours

If you trim approx. 100 calories every day, either by eating fewer calories or exercising more, it should add up to a 10-pound loss at the end of a year.

“The summer is over and the cold weather is coming, but boy do I have memories to brighten those winter days of my time spent at Camp Shining Stars, a summer weight loss camp for kids. Last summer I got to spend time at camp teaching drama, charm and poise, and even water aerobics. I made life-long friends and had a fabulous opportunity to help the kids. It was a truly amazing experience.” – Stacey Halprin

Camp Shining Stars “Where Winners LOSE!” is once again thrilled to announce Stacey will return to camp and continue her life-long journey with battling obesity. She has had many ups and downs, who hasn’t? But knowing she has an unconditionally loving home for the summer helping overweight children build their self-esteem keeps her motivated.

How I met Stacey is very interesting. Four years ago I was a speaker in Nashville, Tennessee at a Bariatric Nursing Convention with Sharon Sarvey, now the Dean of Nursing at Barton College. We spoke about the fantastic data and results achieved at camp. Stacey was the headlining speaker. When Stacey walked into the room, she charmed the audience with her NY charisma. The she started to talk about her journey and the audience was shocked: she had spent part of her life weighing 550 pounds. She talked about her weight loss of over 350 pounds, but through her joking I sensed a woman still in pain. I could tell she had gained weight back from the 350 she had lost, and I was right. Stacey, in front of 300 people, admitted to struggling once again with this addiction. How real is that?

I kept on listening and looking at Stacey and finally it hit me, I knew her in my past. After her speech I approached Stacey at her book signing for Winning After Losing and said, “You may not believe this but I remember you attending a weight loss camp as a child. I was much older than you, and was the dining room manager. ” There were many weight loss camps available to New Yorkers and she was shocked when I said, “You attended Camp Colang.” She started to sing the camp’s Color War songs.

I sent Stacey an email weeks later inviting her to stop by Camp Shining Stars if she ever was in North Carolina. I never heard back from her.

A year passed and I saw Stacey on Facebook and once again asked her if she was interested in volunteering at camp. We scheduled a phone call and over the phone I could sense she was still in pain with her food. I told her that people as well as children deserve a “jump start” in this addictive problem with food. To my surprise, a few days later she called and said, “I’m coming.”

She came to camp, sang, taught drama, helped girls learn how to apply make-up, taught water aerobics, shared her life story, screened Dress Code (the movie she was in), showed clips of her “Oprah” appearances, went on rides for the first time in her life at the amusement park, became friends with the campers and staff…but most of all she had the first six weeks in years of unconditional love and support.

Stacey Will Be Taping the “Oprah” show Wednesday, April 27th. We will let everyone know the date it is airing once we know.

I was asked over a week ago to write this for the newsletter. I kept on putting it off and putting it off. When I called the person to apologize, I could tell the person was not very happy with me. Even if this article cannot be used, I made myself a promise I would write it this morning. I was not using accountability. The person was expecting an article from me and I did not deliver. Lately I have noticed I have been doing this a lot. I am making a promise to myself to be accountable for the things I say I am going to accomplish.

Throughout our lives, we are all accountable to someone besides ourselves. Even the President of The United States is accountable to the citizens of the country. As we go through life, we are accountable to our parents, our teachers, our families and so on. With this said, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Stuart Greenberg (aka Stu-Diddy). I am 48 years old. I have had a weight problem my entire life. The most I ever weighed was 490 pounds.

I had always known Ira Green. I would say were were friendly but not really friends. This all changed the summer of 2006. I started working at Camp Timber Creek (which has evolved into Camp Shining Stars). I was 43 years old. One of the first things I learned was to be accountable to myself by keeping a weight diary. I started my diary on 6/4/06 and I am still keeping track of my weight. I am looking at my diary as I write this.  On this date, I started out at 425 pounds. Today is Wednesday March 23, 2011 and my weight is 297 pounds. I am not going to lie to you, my weight fluctuates about ten pounds or so. When I go over 300 pounds or so, I begin to worry. I still keep my weight diary. However, I know it is time to do something else.

This is where accountability comes in. It just so happens, Ira lives about ten miles from my house. I am “accountable” to him. Since we live so close to each other, we meet every Sunday morning to discuss many things. One of these things, is my weight loss progress. I also try and speak to him at least every other day. We do not always talk about weight. Weight loss is only part of my life. I have accepted the fact I am always going to have a weight problem my entire life.

I have worked with Ira at camp full time for three years. One of those years was as a volunteer. During the summer of 2008, I worked at Camp Shining Stars on a full time basis. The following year I volunteered at the camp every other weekend. Last year, due to my obligations with Duke University and some traveling I did, I was not able to attend camp at all. Not attending was a major mistake. Ira told me things went very well. He was very happy and proud of the children and his staff.  This coming summer, I have rearranged my schedule and I will be spending at least 25 days at camp. I really need to have a “jump start” again on my weight loss.

Getting back to accountability. Everyone needs it. One has to find someone who really cares about you. When Ira asks you to email your weight to him once a week, (as I have done for the past 5 years or so) he definitely takes a look at it and he will call you and ask you if you need some help. He is always available for you to call him. I know there are many campers (and some parents!!!) who email their weight and have done so for years)

Ira does a lot of traveling during the year. He often meets with campers just to see how they are doing. If a camper has a sports event, or is in a show, Ira will make it a point to try and attend that activity.

Accountability works two ways. Once you make a commitment to be accountability to Ira, he makes a commitment to be accountability to you. I have attended and worked at other weight loss camps. When you leave in August, you do not hear from them again until the following year when they want you to sign up for their camp again. Ira does not work like that, he is in constant contact with campers, parents, and staff.

I am not saying you have to be accountable to Ira. There are many other sources. Some of these include your parents, members of the clergy, your doctor, your best friend, a next door neighbor, a teacher, etc. I cannot stress enough, the person has to be there for you, they need to have unconditional love for you. It is not going to be perfect, errors will be made. As I mentioned earlier, I was not accountable to Ira about this letter. I really felt embarrassed and ashamed of myself.

Just try and use accountability with Ira (or someone else). Once you get started it becomes easier and easier. I started in June of 2006 and have been doing it since. When I have a bad day or two, I am reminded of a saying I once heard…”Temporary inconveniences leading to a permanent solution”. Try and deal with one problem at a time!!!!.

Here is my email address…   sfgreenberg@bellsouth.net If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.

The opening of camp is about three months away, and I am looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you. By the end of the first day you will see Camp Shining Stars does indeed provide a loving, caring nurturing environment.  I know it does for me.

Respectfully,

Stuart Greenberg

To all current and future members of the Camp Shining Stars Family:

I can honestly say that I would not be here today if it were not for the help of Ira Green.  This is a bold statement to make, however it is 100% true.

I have known Ira for about 25 years now, the last four of those years I have known him intensely.  I see the part of Ira that most people do not see. Ira is not modest enough when he talks with parents and children. Ira is really passionate about his work with Camp Shining Stars, The Healthy Kids Foundation, and on various North Carolina Nutrition and Exercise committees.

Ira takes a personal interest in every one of his campers, their parents and his staff. When he tells people he is available 24/7, he really means it.  Ira’s relentless work in the area of weight loss has produced many success stories. It took me a long time to admit this, at 46 years, I am a success story.

I know this is a narcissistic statement to make. However it took me a long time to reach this conclusion. As I write this my weight is 295 pounds, coming down from a starting weight of almost 500 pounds! Through various weight loss efforts, programs, and diet pills, I was 425 pounds as of June 2006.

I started working with Ira when camp was being held in the mountains of North Carolina during the summer of 2006 at the weight of 425 pounds.  At the age of 43, Ira walked into the video store I was working for; and told me to take a leave of absence for my health. I was on the quest (again) to try and lose weight and KEEP IT OFF!!!

When I met with Ira to discuss working at the camp, I remember something he said to this day. He told me “to surrender to the program”, advice which could apply to any aspect of life. Then he told me, “in the past I had lost weight for other people, now I had to lose weight for MYSELF.” These two pieces of advice still resonate in my mind almost daily.

Accountability is one of the most important tools for long term life style changes. I have been emailing weekly weigh-ins for the past 3 1/2 years.  I even started keeping a journal of my weight, another one of Ira’s concepts. I am pleased to say that on 06/04/06 I weighed 425 pounds. (this date is exact, I just checked in my journal!!)

Last summer. I was still maintaining my weight loss, emailing Ira, writing in my journal. I also have the pleasure of living near Ira, so we would meet a few times a week. There are also campers who live near Ira also. He tries to meet with them whenever possible.. He is just extremely passionate for the success of his “camping family”.  During the summer of 2008, I took another leave of absence from my job and worked again with the children of Camp Shining Stars! I was self promoted to the position of  “Semi-Assistant Director”. This is kind of an ongoing joke between Ira and me. I did not really have a title, so I kept making them up during the summer. During the summer I lost another 20 pounds.

While I was on this last leave of absence, my company where I have been employed for the past 20 years had closed. Like most people who have lost their jobs in this “slight economic slowdown”, I was in a state of panic.

I did start to turn to food and gained about 10 pounds back within a few weeks. However, I remembered my promise to keep the weight off. There is an unofficial prejudice against heavy people in the United States. Gaining weight was not going to help me in the job market. I really relied on Ira’s help and he was there every minute for me. I took off the 10 pounds I gained and after 20 years, started job hunting again. Ira told me to look for work that would require movement and not just sitting on my butt. Great Advice!

After a period of looking, I obtained a position with Duke University Hospital in the Patient Transportation Services Department. This is a job which provides lots of exercise and interaction with many people.

I  transport many patients suffering from weight related issues, breathing problems, diabetes, liver problems, heart problems, etc. I would say about 90 percent of the people tell me if they could do it again the main thing they would do is to take better care of their health. Many of them are lucky, they will get a second chance and unfortunately many will not. Some will have to be on Dialysis for the rest of their lives. Some are awaiting liver and kidney transplants.

We still have this chance, however now is the time to act. Since December, I have lost another 25 pounds.  I started out the same way as your children did, I know what it is like. The laughter, the stares, the insults from the other children is very hurtful. My parents told me they were embarrassed of me. My mother was a travel agent. They have photo albums of every place they had visited. Most of the pictures had my parents and my brother in them. People would ask “where’s Stuart, how come he is not in any of the pictures?” My father’s response, “well, someone had to take the picture”.

The doctors on The Camp Shining Stars Advisory Committee, are outstanding doctors in their respectful fields.  Is Camp Shining Stars the answer??, the answer is it could be. Everyone thinks in the number of pounds their child will lose. As a matter of fact, pounds are discussed very little at camp.  In this news-letter is the first time I ever gave out any of my weight.  Your child will lose weight, (7-18% of their starting weight).  There are other successes by which camp has helped people. Many campers try outing for school athletic teams, receiving better grades in school, but most important they leave camp with a feeling of self-worth.

As adults we are not exempt from learning either. I have learned so much from the campers and their parents. Unfortunately, due to my new job, I will only be able to spend about 15 days at camp this year. To tell you the truth, I have been looking forward to those days since January.

To sum things up, I want to stress, there is still time to make these changes, I know I did at the age of 43. The Camp Shining Stars Program is a program which may be followed for life. If you have any questions or concerns please email me at sfgreenberg@bellsouth.net

For myself, tomorrow finally came on June 6, 2006.Because of Ira, his program, the Advisory Board, and your campers, I know I will have many tomorrows.

I would like to leave you with a little piece of advice…

Remember, life is not about dos or don’ts or indulgences and restrictions, it is about moderation.

I hope to see you and your children at Camp Shining Stars this summer, and I wish you and them many, many, many more tomorrows!

Regards,

Stuart

PLEASE NOTE: DONATIONS ENABLED ANTHONY TO ATTEND CAMP FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER LAST YEAR. HE LOST OVER 60 POUNDS IN 6 WEEKS. CAMP SHINING STARS WANTS TO HELP OTHERS BUT NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT.

My Camp Experience

My camp experience at Camp Shining Stars was fun and exciting! We learned a bunch of stuff, mostly on how to balance our food and exercise. And, just think in the three weeks I was there, I lost over 30 pounds. So, just think if I go for six weeks that would really help me out so much more. Why do I want to go back for six weeks? So I can work my tail off to lose this weight. My goal this time would be to lose more weight than I lost last year! I really would love to go back to camp and get another shot at it.

I really didn’t want to go to camp at first because I was very unsure of what we would do and my previous camp experience was boring (at another camp). My dietitian kept saying how camp would be good for me and how much I would learn so finally I gave in. Once I stepped out of my parent’s car, we were on the go all the time! I remember falling asleep really early the first night (before anyone else) because I was exhausted and not used to all of the activity! But, after a few days I began to get used to it and I knew I could do it!

Before going camp, the only activity I did on a daily basis was play video games. But my favorite part of camp was getting me off my booty and working hard at being more active. I learned how to play new games like capture the flag and spider ball. It was really awesome! I also learned how to swim which I had only attempted few times before but now I feel good about it and actually enjoy it. Another part I liked was meeting new people and not seeing the same faces everyday. When I’m at home, I hangout with the same people all the time so it was really good for me to experience something new.

I hope I get to go back to camp this year; it would be such an awesome opportunity! Camp Shining Stars really changed a huge part of my life. I even like exercising now!! Camp provided me with a structured, fun environment which enabled me to lose the weight I had been struggling to lose before. I am still motivated to make the changes I need to lead a healthier life which camp has shown me I can do.

Anthony H.

Dietitian’s Letter

Anthony has been a patient at Teen Health Connection in Charlotte, NC since he was 10 years old. He is now 15 and a freshman in high school. I have had the pleasure of working with him over the past two years as his dietitian at Teen Health Connection. At an early age he had to overcome many hardships that no young boy should ever have to. As a result from this, Anthony has struggled with his weight using food as his coping mechanism when times got tough. He currently weighs 470 pounds. This may seem like a lot, but it isn’t.

Even though he has been working with a dietitian the past 2 years and has had support from his aunt and uncle, Anthony continues to need motivation and structure to help him make changes toward a healthier lifestyle. Last year, Teen Health Connection raised $3000 and sent him to Camp Shining Stars in Wilson, NC which is a summer weight loss camp. At camp, he not only lost weight, but he was able to learn the tools and habits necessary to lead a healthier lifestyle. Anthony left Charlotte weighing 506 pounds and returned home from camp, after just 3 weeks, weighing 472 pounds.

The important part about his weight loss is that he learned how to be healthy. He lost a total of 34 pounds and has managed to keep it off!! As his dietitian, I am so proud of him. When he first arrived home, he was meeting with me once a week to make sure he stayed on track. We would go for walks and talk about life and what changes he was making. It was amazing how he was able to not only walk farther, but he could walk and talk at the same time!

At camp, Anthony was exposed to a much needed, healthy environment. He was able to experience a life of structure while meeting a whole new group of friends, too. He learned how to apply eating healthy and how to incorporate exercise in his daily routine. Anthony now holds his head a little bit higher and makes eye contact. Before he left for camp, he was shy. Now he is outgoing and everyone is noticing, especially his teachers at school.

Anthony continues to work hard to eat right and stay active and is leading a healthier lifestyle because of what he learned at Camp Shining Stars. He is a very happy, talkative person now which shows what a great influence this camp was for him. He highly recommends it, too, and cannot wait to go back this year! We are very proud of him at Teen Health Connection and we can’t wait to see how much progress he makes this year.
