We had much to celebrate tonight as we had our final weigh-in for the Team Challenge! Our Teams lost a total of 1173 pounds in 9 weeks! It was bitter sweet as we congratulated our teams and individuals for the amazing work they've done in the last 9 weeks!
We presented the scissors one more time at noon and six! Team 'Not Yet Ready For Prime Time' were our winners at noon with a % of weight loss of 1.0 for the week! Myna and Dan, you rock! At six, team 'Smallest Winners' won the win for the week with a weight loss % of 2.3. Heather and Vicki, outstanding! Heather celebrated her 100 pound mark tonight as well...we just partied!
The party didn't stop there... Awards were given out for all kinds of important accomplishments. Ron Bigler was our male with the most weight loss for the challenge and Jeanne Lincoln was our female! Team 'Cupp Cupp and a Weigh' won a very special award... Most Inspirational!
Then the moment we've work for...the announcement of the winning Team. The winners of $1000.00 with the greatest % of weight loss..team 'Big Hinnes!' Ron and Tammy, we are so proud of you and so happy for you! You lost 77 pounds in the last 10 weeks...You truly are the Team that deserved the win!
As I looked out on the room tonight, I saw a room full of winners. Awesome people who lost 15, 20 30 40 pounds in the last 9 weeks! People who accomplished more than they thought they would and had fun doing it!
The last challenge of this first ever Team Challenge was to go home tonight and have a talk with yourself. I'm writing this late, because I went for a walk and did just that! As we close one door, it's crucial to walk right in to another one. Right thinking is a must in these next days and weeks.
It's been a thrilling 10 weeks for me. I pray that all you learned and all you lost will go with you in to a bright, healthy and happy future. You hold a dear place in my heart. I believe in you!
Love, Letha

Sensational Summer is on it's way!
The Teams continued to have fun and lose weight as we celebrated the 9th week of the Team Challenge today! 1100 total lbs. have been lost as the teams shed 60 more lbs. this week! We had fun looking back and reviewing some of the great losses in the last 9 weeks..and, looking ahead to summer and comitting to go the distance!
At Noon, we were excited to announce our scissor award winners, team "Flab-u-less", with a % of weight loss for the week of 1.5! It seemed fitting that they would hold the scissors for real this week!
At Six, team "Big Hinnes" took the win again with a 2.6% weight loss for the week! Congratulations Ron and Tammie, we're all proud of you.
Our teams have done GREAT things in the last 9 weeks. Two of our clients have hit their 100 pound mark during the challenge...congratulations Wendy and Brian. We're glad you got to share that milestone with all of us!
Our final challenge is to write a "blurb" about what the Team Challenge has meant to you. This will be an important exercise for all of our teams members to process the last 10 weeks!
A special thank you to Kym Calder with Avon and Margie Dow with Jewelry by George...the support you showed to our teams today made a difference!
As we prepare to have our grand finale next week...we will be looking at all the great success of our teams. It has been a thrilling 9 weeks for me. I celebrate you and your sucess more than you can imagine!

We Make Beautiful Music Together!
"Are we in Heaven?"...that's what I heard at The Healthy Weigh today as Marni from team" Too Many M&M's" played a beautiful gold harp at the Team Challenge! From football stadium music to heavenly harp music, we know how to enjoy ourselves and be inspired by music at the Team Challenge!
We missed Glenda today as our numbers gal! We thanked and appreciated our substitute..Lynn! She did a great job keeping track of the numbers today! We had a little glitch at the noon weigh-in and the wrong team left with the scissors! As I write this blog tonight, team "Just Do It" doesn't know that they were the winners of the scissors at noon with a 1.2 % of weight loss for the week! What a story we'll have for Glenda!
At six, team "Mini Reps" won the scissor award as well as our top team for the week with a 2.3% weight loss ! Jan and Patty will be enjoying the prize for the week when they book Marni and her beautiful harp to play at an event of their choice! Thank you to Marni from Classic Harps Northwest for this great donation and for the beautiful music today.
Our challenge winners of the week were gifted with scrap books and the paper to go with them, courtesy of LeAnn from team "Weigh Major Losers", Linda Aarhus, also gifted two winners with beautiful kits to start Stampin' up! Congratulations to our winners that used imagery this week to motivate them to great success!
We focused on coping skills today. I explained the "life cup" and the importance of processing pain, stress and disappointments to keep from imploding. Processing or coping with your feelings is the key to eliminating emotional eating.
The Challenge for the week is to make a list of hobbies, activities, things you do for fun...and then make a list of your coping skills. Coping; wrestling or grappling with difficulties and acting to overcome them.
Our great Nutritional Plan is the reason our teams are losing so much weight, the weekly challenges and changes are teams are making...are the reasons they will keep their weight off for life.
Two weeks to go teams...live it out big time! Have a great week coping!
I'm so proud of you!

19 Years and Time to Celebrate!
We celebrated The Healthy Weigh's 19th Birthday today at the Team challenge! The teams came through with 115 pounds of weight loss for the week bringing their total up to 899 pounds! What a way to celebrate!
Our Scissor Award winners were excited this week when they each won a special Birthday present courtesy of The Healthy Weigh..."Healthy Weigh for Life." Team 'Dynamic Duo' with a 1.9 % of weight loss for the week and Team 'Big Hinnes' with a 2.3% each took home the scissors for the second time since the Team Challenge started! Congratulations to you all!
Gena Bailey, with Kaiser Permanente gifted us with great cooler lunch bags full of items everyone wanted...including me! Our teams were in the drawing this week for being active three times this week.
This week our focus was visualization!
A fascinating fact about your non-conscious mind is that it’s completely deductive in nature. In other words, it is fully capable of working backwards from the end to the means. You do not need to have the means or the “know how” to achieve a goal at the time you first set the goal, because if you “program” only the outcome (the goal) successfully into your “mental computer,” then your subconscious will take over and help you find the information and means and carry out the actions necessary to reach your desired end.
The Challenge for the week is to visualize each day this week. Practice visualizing the "perfect day" on program. Champions visualize...be a champion this week and come back next week with great success!
Happy Birthday Healthy Weigh...be a part of the celebration this month. Live your best life, take great care of your self and have a wonderful week!
