The Decisions Have Been Made...

...and oh how it showed today! I'm thrilled to announce that our Team Weight Loss Challenge "losers" lost a total of 384 pound this week! 132 of those pounds were dropped off by our noon group, and our evening teams lost another 251 pounds!

What fun we had today as each team eased their way on to the scale to show off their efforts for the week. The Results were awesome, just like their efforts!

This week was all about motivation. Spending our time and energy thinking about what we DO want instead of what we don't want."What we focus on, we will get more of." So what are you focusing on?

The challenge for the week focuses on motivation.
You have a choice. Make a a list of the 7 ways your life will improve when you reach your goal weight, bring the list in next Tuesday and put a ticket in the drawing. OR get together with your team mate and make a collage representing you individually and as a team. This collage should reveal your dreams and your hopes for your best lives. Bring that in the clinic next Tuesday and receive a ticket in the drawing.

For you over achievers...do both, and you'll have two chances to win!

We gave way some great Fit & Fresh plastic ware to our challenge winners for keeping their program journals all week. Congratulations to our winners!

Each week we will be presenting the winning team with the highest % of weight loss at NOON an 6 PM the coveted "scissor award!" These teams have "cut off any other possibility!"
Our "scissor award" winners at noon were Team 'Once & For All' and the evening "scissor award" went to Team 'Big Hinney' who also won the prize today for the greatest % of weight loss of all the 38 teams,$100.00. Congratulations Ron and Tammy.

We appreciate our Sponsor for the week, Glenda Bigalky, MA. Thank you for all your support.

Keep up the great work Teams, draw from the strength inside of you. You showed yourself this week that you've got it! I'm thrilled for you.

Let The Challenge Begin!

You could feel the excitement in the air today at The Healthy Weigh as 38 teams weighed in for the start of our Weight Loss Team Challenge. 16 teams showed at noon and the rest at 6 PM. With their matching shirts and their great team names, they posed for their before pictures and signed partnership agreements with their teams mates.

With 10 weeks to go, I challenged the participants to make a decision today! A decision to lose 20,30,40 pounds or more! Making a true decision means committing to achieving a result and cutting yourself off from any other possibility! "No food or drink will taste as good in the next 10 weeks as the feeling you will have standing on the scale on June 23rd having met your goal!"

Along with offering up a challenge to keep a food journal all week with the possibility of a prize next week, we handed out some prizes today!
Four teams won a one hour massage, courtesy of "Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa" www.handandstone.com , for being the first and last teams to sign up for the challenge! Congratulations to Teams; "Not Yet Ready for Prime Time" "TNT" "Thom Thins" and "Weight No More!"

We have 10 weeks ahead with the end of the challenge paying one team $1000.00. I can't wait to see who that is!

Teams...Have a GREAT week!
