Consistency, not perfection is key when it comes to weight loss

WA-RITE

Female residents who want to find support on their weight-loss journey and meet like-minded people are welcome to stop by one of the Wa-Rite meetings. The Wa-Rite is a women-only club and 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. Those dimes go to the person who lost the most weight that week. LW ID cards must be shown. Those who have decided to join the club should come no later than 8:15 a.m. to complete the paperwork and get weighed in.

Last week, Karen Green was the biggest loser with a 3.5-pound loss. She achieved it by eating more fruits and drinking plenty of water. On July 4, Green also volunteered to be a dog sitter so she wouldn’t partake in eating a lot of holiday food that day.

Marianne Barlow achieved her master’s in goal weight by putting off eating as late in the day as possible. Recently, she was quite flattered when a bus driver referred to her as skinny. “That was the first time anyone ever praised me that way!” said Barlow.

Jeanette Williams was named a queen of the month with an 8-pound loss. Kathy Moran maintained her goal weight for this month. Kathy Moran maintained her goal weight for this month.

President Judy Chambers’ quote of the day was: “It’s not about being the best, it’s about being better than you were yesterday.”
