	Description:		Join Dianne Gregg, and her guest, Tony Sparber, Founder, of New Image Weight Loss Camps Tony Sparber can relate to the kids he hopes to help. As a somewhat obese youngster, he was regularly the last one picked for teams in gym class. All that changed for him at the age of fifteen, when his parents started a camp to help young people lose weight--Weight Watcher’s Camps. He was able to learn the difference that thirty pounds would make to help him become more content with himself and more confident with his peers. Camp Pocono Trails the Pennsylvania camp was featured on MTV’s True Life: Fat Camp in February 2008 and runs continuously on the network. In this 88 minute documentary, which has gained somewhat of a cult following, the cameras followed numerous campers through the rigorous but fulfilling activities they endured at Sparber’s Camp, but helped to show the mental and physical victory the campers achieved along the way. Sparber’s camps have been quoted in widely read sources such as the Los Angeles Times, New York Times, The Orlando Sentinel, Family Circle, Newsday, Teen Magazine and Web MD. New Image Camps enrolled over 1000 campers, summer 2006 and boasts pounds lost total at 13,000.
