Learn about weight loss and heart health on Fridays in CH 3

The Wa-Rite Club celebrates and supports those who strive to be healthier.

Female Leisure World residents looking to improve their health and lose at least 10 pounds are welcome to attend a meeting on any Friday in Clubhouse 3, Room 1, from 9-10 a.m. Visitors should arrive no later than 8:45.

On March 8, Bea Quintara and Melinda Lee shared the top loser title losing 3 pounds each over the past week. Quintara reached her goal by avoiding late night snacking and drinking plenty of water.

Lee credited her weight loss to only eating when hungry. She also gave a presentation on surviving a stroke at 47 while working as a dentist and teaching at Cypress College. While she still isn’t sure what triggered it, Lee shared her symptoms and the difficulties she had to overcome as a stroke survivor.
