Club lost a total of nearly 8 pounds

WA-RITE

The Wa-Rite meets every Friday in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, to provide a supportive environment as members work toward a shared goal of being as healthy and fit as possible. Weigh-ins are from 9:15-9:45 a.m., and meeting, from 10-11 a.m. The first three visits are free; annual membership fee is $10; and weekly dues are 10 cents.

At the April 28 meeting, Wa-Rite members recognized the accomplishment of member Kathy Moran, who earned a Wa-Rite Doctoral Degree. The degree is a celebration of Kathy entering her third year maintaining a 25-pound weight loss. Kathy says the best things about her weight loss are her increased mobility and energy.

This week, members lost a total of 7.5 pounds. The meeting’s Top Loser was Marshia Larson who lost 2 pounds. Marshia has met her first short-term goal with a net loss of approximately 25 pounds since joining Wa-Rite.

At the last meeting of each month, members have an opportunity to share thoughts, inspirations and other items of interest. Topics discussed included ways to avoid boredom, ideas to support and encourage each other to improve consistent exercise, and a handout with resources to support mental health for seniors.

A special thank you to First Vice President Rosie Calhoun for leading the meeting.
