Restaurant Eating...aint no big thing!


Wow...what a day at The Healthy Weigh! We watched the results of 100 people making healthy choices. 430 pounds were shed as the three Team Challenge groups weighed in!
The first successful week of many, were celebrated by all! As teams showed up to announce the secret code, "I've decided, I'm committed and I will succeed", the mood was set for a fun, educational Tuesday!

At noon we had some close competition! 143.1 pounds were lost with three teams leading the way! The top honors at noon went to team 'Thin City' with a 3.74% of weight loss for the week. Congratulations to Barbara and Leslie, you guys made it happen this week! The immunity idol was presented for this fall Team Challenge at noon. A bright orange banner with DECIDE COMMIT SUCCEED flashed across it, will be worn and coveted by all teams for this Team Challenge!

The 5 PM teams took the 'win' for the group with the most pounds lost this week! 168.6! I'm telling you...there's something special about this group! Team 'Kickin' It With Kankles' took the banners and the win with a weight loss % of 4.39 for the week! Gail and Alyssa are excited to wear their banners at work and school all week! I plan on dropping by Prairie High School to see Alyssa and take a photo of her in class with her banner on! I'll be sure to post the photo immediately! :-)

Our Teams at 6:30 couldn't be out done, with a weight loss of 116.9, they still hosted the wining team for the week! Team 'Because I said so' took the win and the $100 prize this week with a weight loss % of 5.72!!! Congratulations to Tammy and her son C.J.. I think C.J. was pretty excited when I handed him a $50 bill for his efforts this week!I know his banner will be worn with pride at La Center High School this week! I guess we have a little friendly high school competition going on as well!

We focused this week on restaurant eating. Being on The Healthy Weigh weight loss program does not mean that you can't go out to eat...in fact, you can stay 100% on program in most restaurants in the area! The mantra we repeated was..."The Food you need is in the kitchen." You probably won't find it on the menu...but you can, with confidence, order what you need and you'll find, that you'll be served with love!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK: To go out and eat! Order with confidence, stay 100% on your program and bring your receipt in next Tuesday for a ticket in the drawing!

As you begin another week of stringing great weeks together, remember that each one of you will be the WINNER of this Team Challenge when you stand on the scale December 7th with a fantastic weight loss! Encourage your partner this week, enjoy the benefits of healthy eating and look forward to your weigh in on Tuesday! Remember, 2 pounds will get you in the drawing for our wonderful fall basket...I'd love to see EVERYONE in that drawing!

A special Thank You to our sponsor for the week, Glenda Bigalky! She donated $100 for the team prize this week to let you know that she supports you and is willing to invest in you.

Hope to see many of you on Thursday at noon or 6...and again Saturday 9 AM to noon for our extrovert/introvert class! Glenda and I have had fun working on this class. We'd love to share our Saturday morning with you.

Have a terrific week. Until next time.
Always encouraging you,
Letha

Program not on the menu? What you want to eat is in the kitchen of restaurants, you just need to ask for it. Who you eat with can make a difference! Have a lunch with your P from HW and just see how good chicken tastes and how liberated you will feel when you order from the kitchen!
