Learn the best weight loss secrets with 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 Wa-Rite’s 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.
As a group, the club lost an impressive 19.5 pounds in one week. There were two top losers, Bea Quintana and Cindy Pierfkalla, who lost 2 pounds each. Quintana said eating early and exercising contributed to her weight loss. Pierfkalla is a new member. She said that eating more vegetables, smaller portions, drinking more water, and incorporating water aerobics into her routine helped her shed the pounds.
Most of the past week was spent on sharing things that can benefit each other, and what works and what doesn’t when it comes to reaching a weight goal. This lets members get insights, feel compassionate about their Wa-Rite friends, and creates a remarkable comradery in helping and supporting one another. President Judy Chambers shared food for thought quote: “Consistency, not perfection, is key when it comes to weight management.”
