The Washington Wilderness Retreat was the beginning of a new me. I needed to lose some weight, I wanted to take a vacation and I wanted to do something different. The retreat, which sounded different from typical weight loss spas, was appealing to me because of the meals and the activities and all I needed to do was show up and participate. I felt like I couldn’t fail.
The activities were fun and not too terribly difficult. The hikes were beautiful and kayaking was new to me, but after I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed it. Even the things I wasn’t really looking forward to turned out to be really great. It was the beginning of a whole new world!
Like a lot of women, I had gotten caught up in work, my house, my chores and usually ended up eating whatever was fast and at hand. Over the last few years, the extra pounds just stuck with me. The Washington Wilderness Retreat gave me the initial kick start, and confidence, I needed. I lost eight pounds in that one week. And I can so easily keep it going just by going outside my front door!
