Make lasting lifestyle changes with the Wa-Rite community

Wa-Rite is a female-only club that meets on Friday mornings from 9-10 in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins are from 8-8:45. Dues are $10 a year, plus 10 cents upon signing in. LW ID cards must be shown. Women who want support on their weight-loss journey and to meet like-minded people are welcome to stop by.

At Oct. 25 meeting, Henrietta Peavy wore two hats: as the recordkeeper for the meeting and as a speaker of the day. She spoke about her favorite cookware, a stoneware Crock-Pot that she uses to make soups, vegetables, meat dishes and even dessert. It can only be used in the microwave to make quick, single-serving recipes.

Peavy shared that the club lost a total of 12 pounds for the week. Judy Chambers, once again, was a top loser with a 3.5-pound loss. She said that keeping a weight loss mindset and not focusing on food so much have led to positive results. She also thinks that not eating any sweets may have helped her as well.

The weekly food for thought was: “Halloween is a day we try to keep the candy away from the adult children.”
