Together Everyone Achieves More

...We found that out this week as our teams continued with great weight loss! So far in our three week challenge our 38 teams have lost a total of 657 pounds! Some great thoughts were shared this week about the difference the Team Challenge is making in the lives and commitments of our clients at The Healthy Weigh.

The coveted 'Scissor Award' was presented at Noon to Team "Legal Losers" and at Six Team "Low Cal Gals" received the award as well as the prize for the greatest % of weight loss for the week. 1.6%. Congratulations Janet and Margie for an outstanding job this week!

Thank you to our sponsors of the week, Hand and Stone massage for gifting our teams with one hour massages for doing great work on their positive affirmation cards. Barry Brandenburg, Attorney at Law, showered our winning team for the week with Fit & Fresh plastic ware and green bags!

We challenged our teams to look at behavioral goals more seriously this week. Long term change takes accomplishing short term goals. The first step to choosing a behavioral goal for yourself is to ask the question, "What behavior is getting in the way of me accomplishing my goal?" Set a behavior goal each week and be specific. Finally, remember to reward yourself for new behavior! Little changes add up to the life you want to live!

Our Challenge for the week was directed to teams,if they choose to accept it! Next week at weigh-in, each team is to come with a obvious visual sign that they are a team! Face pain, striped hair, matching bike shorts? Who knows what we'll see! What we do know is that team work matters...team work will make the difference in you winning $1000!

You are an inspiring group of people! Stay committed to your team mate, the challenge and mostly to yourself!

Can't wait to see the Teams next week! Have a great 7 days!
