Feliz Cinco De Mayo

We toasted with mockaritas as our 38 teams dropped a total of 174.9 pounds this week! The evening teams showed off as they lost 105.5 pounds while the noon group celebrated their 69.4 pounds! Week three of the Team Challenge proved to be another fun and motivating week!

Thanks to our sponsors we gave away Starbucks coffee and mugs to our challenge participants from last week. Making a list of the 7 ways their lives will improve...and making a team collage allowed 4 of our team mates to win this week! The collages look great up on the wall and it was wonderful to see life, dreams and clarity come out on the pages!

Our Scissor award for the week (the highest % of weight loss at noon and six) went to teams 'Dynamic Duo' and 'Git R Dun'! Congratulations to these two teams for their win this week. The BIG award of the week went to team 'Dynamic Duo' with a % of weight loss of 2.5 for the week! Congratulations Linda and Fred! Schlecht Construction awarded the winning team with a 3 in one exercise ball and DVD kit!

We focused on positive affirmations this week because at The Healthy Weigh we know that how you think about yourself makes the difference in you losing your weight and more importantly how you keep it off. Your challenge for the week is to fill out your Team Challenge positive affirmation cards and bring them back into the clinic next week.

As we start this next week of the challenge I reminded the teams that "the race is not won to the swift...but to those who keep on running." You are all in a race that will make the difference in how you live the rest of your lives. Keep running my friends. Make a decision each day to put your life, your health and your future ahead of food.

Until next Tuesday!
Letha
