Another Amazing Finish!

My heart is full as I sit tonight and ponder the last 10 weeks at this Fall Team Challenge! Over 1340 pounds were lost by a group of committed, decided and successful people! It has been a privilege to spend the last 10 Tuesdays with these great people!

The end of this Team Challenge came down to the wire with an exciting finish!

In third place, and the winners of $300, with a weight loss % of 15.98 was team 'Kickin it with Kankles!' Alyssa and Gail, you did an amazing job! Together you lost 66 pounds!

Second place, and winners of $500, went to a couple of strong women! Team ' The Melt Aways' had a loss of 17.85 % for this Team Challenge! Cindy and Karen, you lead the way this whole Team Challenge. You were an inspiration to everyone with your combined weight loss of 71 pounds! Congratulations!

And in first place and winners of $1000, with an impressive 18.27% weight loss was 'Team One-Eighty!' Barry and Krystal...Congratulations for your awesome weight loss of 89.8 pounds as a team! You fought strong until the very end and your hard work paid off!

Along with these top three teams we had some impressive personal weight loss successes.
Our female with the most weight loss was Jessie M. with 40.6 pounds!
Our female with the greatest % of weight loss and a record for all women at any Team Challenge was Karen G. with a 19.15% of weight loss!
Our male big winner was Barry K. with 52.6 pounds lost and a weight loss % of 20.24!

We announced our winner of the "No Cave November" contest too. Debbie Y. took the great prize of 'Healthy Weigh for Life' for having a weight loss % of 8.45 for the 4 week contest!

If that wasn't enough celebrating we announced the RED team as winners of the GREEN and RED contest! Our $100 visa gift card went to Jeff M!

One of the highlights of the evening was passing out all the awards for all clients who made the 20 pound club! It was an impressive thing to listen to Glenda announce the amount of weight each one of these clients lost in the last 9 weigh ins! We even forgot one...PATTY L. lost 26.0 pounds! I'll be announcing that one at the mall tomorrow over the load speaker! Sorry for leaving you out dear Patty! You Rock!

We still had three team winners of the day to celebrate and congratulate...at noon Team ' The Melt Aways' took the weekly win with 2.27%. Karen and Cindy...you stayed the course for 10 weeks and it shows! You look amazing!
At 5, team 'Kickin it with Kankles' won with a 1.86 %. Alyssa and Gail, I'm so proud of you. You were a fun team and held each other accountable at the same time!
Our final team of the night was 'Team One-Eighty' with a 3.96% loss for the week. Barry and Krystal, you worked hard this week and every week. Way to go!

I'm always a little sad at the end of a Team Challenge. I'll miss these teams and the community spirit they competed with. I'll miss celebrating all the accomplishments! This Team Challenge was overflowing with personal goals being met! It was a great thing to be a part of!

We're heading into a fun 4 weeks, "Christmas Vacation." I hope to see most of you there.

Congratulations to all the participants of this Fall Team Challenge! It has been a great 10 weeks and you have much to be proud of!
Until next time...January 11th to be exact!

Always encouraging you,
Letha

No Quit in Us!

It was a banner day at The Healthy Weigh! We celebrated some great accomplishments at our Team Challenge today. Along with some of our clients reaching goal weight today, Alyssa from team 'Kickin' it with Kankles' hit her 100 lb mark! Gail, Alyssa's team partner, brought balloons and 'champagne' to toast Alyssa on this big day! Alyssa, you have been an inspiration to us all! Congratulations! The red and the green teams represented today! The race is close so we're saving the outcome for our finale next week! Someone on one of those teams is going to win a $100 visa gift card! We also concluded our NO CAVE NOVEMBER contest. We're going to celebrate that winner next week too! As we head in to our final week of this fall Team Challenge, I talked about the difference between quitting and winning! There's a fine line between quitters and winners!

Quitting happens when things get tough…when people get tired, when you lose hope. Quitting is related to wishing… "I wish I was thinner and healthier, I wish I would have done better. I wish I would have kept going, I wish I wouldn’t have stopped."

Winning happens when things get tough...when people get tired, when you hold on to hope.

Winning and hope are related. "I hoped that my life would change if I started taking better care of my self. I hoped and I believed, I decided what I wanted and put action to my decision!"

The stories I have read about the great ones… the great ones at everything…sports, math, inventions, music…they all had a decision to make. "Is there quit in me…or am I going to make the decision to keep at it?"

When the time came to make that decision, it wasn’t because the great ones were on top! They had fallen, they had made mistakes, they were feeling weak, they weren’t feeling like winners…that is when they had to pull from down deep and say “There’s no quit in me, I’ve got to keep going to live out my very best life. I will complete the race."

We've got 101 pounds to go to break the all time Team Challenge record...this is the week that all our our team mates need to pull from down deep, have their very best week and state, "There's no quit it me."

The top two teams of this Team Challenge join us at noon. This week 'Team One-Eighty' took the noon time win with a 2.15% weight loss for the week! Congratulations to Barry and Krystal! I LOVE your enthusiasm!

At five team 'Kickin' it with Kankles' thought since they were celebrating anyway, they might as well just win for the day! Gail and Alyssa took the win with a 2.09% for the week!

Our big winners of the day came at 6:30 with a 2.25% of weight loss this week. Team 'The Lovable Curmudgeon and His Redneck Betty" picked a great week to win! They walked away with 4 Blazer tickets and $50 in Burgerville bucks! Jeff and Jessie, I'm proud of you and you've got date-night paid for!

A special thank you to Tom and Kathy from team 'TomKat' for donating Burgerville bucks for all three teams this week...and to Scott from team ' Bad Genes ~Further Evidence,' for the 4 Blazer tickets! Your support makes all the difference!

Next week is going to be a celebration! We've had AMAZING weight loss at this Team Challenge and we will all be coming together at 6:30 for the Grand Finale! Teams can show up at noon, and 5, but we'll hope to see you all back at 6:30 for all the fun! After pictures will be taken and awards will be given out! You won't want to miss this powerful evening!

101 pounds to go this week...I can hear you right now..."THERE'S NO QUIT IN US!"

Make it a great week. Finish strong!
Always encouraging you,
Letha

GREEN or RED?... let the festivites begin!

We braved the cold this week at the Team Challenge and had an outstanding week of weight loss! 100.5 pounds were lost by our attending teams this week! (I've heard you burn more calories when you're cold) With only 152 pounds left to go with two weigh-in's...I BELIEVE we're going to have a record breaking challenge!

If you missed Tuesday, you missed a good one! We divided into two teams GREEN and RED! The competition heats up as the Team Challenge heads into week # 9! I am proud to say that I am the captain of the GREEN team! I thought I was doing pretty well dressed like an elf, sporting my GREEN heart, and passing out hearts to all my team, when Glenda reared her competitive head! Being the captain of the RED team she showed up at the end of the challenge in style! RED was obvious when she bounded through the door with a Santa costume on! She one upped me again by giving her team presents! I actually had some GREEN team mates that wanted to trade teams!
Here's the thing...we ALL know that the elves are the ones that do all the work! Santa comes out looking pretty good when he shows in his pretty RED suit handing out gifts...but the GREEN clad elves are doers! I'm counting on that!

Here's how the GREEN and RED competition works:
You got a ticket for your team just for showing up yesterday.
You get a ticket for your team for coming into the clinic for "The Day After Thanksgiving Day Scale" 5 to 8 AM!
You get a ticket for attending the Team Challenge next Tuesday.
You get a ticket for weight loss next Tuesday!

The team with the most tickets in their bucket wins, and we draw for one winner...a $100 visa gift card!

At The Healthy Weigh, we are committed to keeping you focused on your goal. We are convinced that as long as your inspiration and your accountability stays in tact, you will be successful!

We introduced the ELF special to make sure that happens!

CHRISTMAS VACATION is our bridge between this Team Challenge and the next! It is going to be a fun, yet inspirational 4 weeks. From Nancy's entertaining ideas, to toasting the new year with you, we will be holding you accountable from December 14th through January 4th. This 4 week special will be at noon to one and six to seven...come and go betwen those times, to weigh in and receive community support! This 4 weeks special also includes weekday emails from me to you!

THE WINTER TEAM CHALLENGE begins again January 11th. We hope that most of you will be participating in yet another successful challenge! We'll have two times, noon and 6 PM for you to choose from.
Next Tuesday, November 30th is the last day you can receive the great discount for these two programs.

Christmas Vacation $100
Winter Team Challenge $260 (regular price $300)
Both of these together $350

We hope that you will take advantage of these savings and more importantly commit in advance to your continued success!

Along with all the fun, we had some big winners for the day!
At noon team 'Thin it to Win it' took the win with 2.27% for the week! Congrats Christie and Amy...you guys are so GREEN!
At Five, Gail and Alyssa, team 'Kickin' it with Kankles' took the win with 1.73 %. Another GREEN team I might add!!
And at Six, team 'TomKat' showed up for the GREEN team again, with a 1.27% loss for the week! Tom and Kathy, you guys are looking great!

We talked about our plans for Thanksgiving and it seems the teams are ready! With the last week of No Cave November, we've got some serious competitors.

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK: Sign up for the Elf Special!
I'll post the teams below so that you can make sure you are sporting your colors next week!

With all the fun and the competition...this week I am truly grateful for you and give thanks for the opportunity I have to be involved with such great people.
With Love from my family to yours this Thanksgiving.

The Power of Words!

Week # 7 of this Fall Team Challenge was all about words! As our teams press on into the last 3 weeks of this Team Challenge I challenged them to look at the words they speak not only to others but to themselves. Words dictate how we think and since thoughts determine our actions, there's a powerful connection between the words we speak and the results we get.

Poorly chosen words can kill enthusiasm, impact self esteem, lower expectations and hold people back. Well chosen words can motivate, offer hope, create vision, impact thinking and alter results! Our clients are looking for altered results!

A tradition that we've had for years at The Healthy Weigh, is to choose a word for the year. A word to meditate on, study and master. Our words were posted on the wall this week for all of our Team Challenge participants to begin to look at and choose.

At Noon, team 'Forced Family Fun' took the win for the day with a 2.07 % weight loss! Phyllis and Katelynn aren't strangers to wearing the winners banner! Congratulations again on the win and for receiving the prize for the week, an over night stay and Hotel Monaco in down town Portland! Our two top teams of this Team Challenge both weigh in at noon. You can feel the excitement in the air!

Team 'The Last Hurrah' won the honors at the 5 pm weigh-in. Becky and Cathy were pleased to walk away with the win with a 1.49% of weight loss for the week! Congratulations you two! Our 5:00 group lost the most weight this week with 30.3 pounds total. We are left with 252 pounds to lose in the next 3 weeks to beat the all time Team Challenge record! I think we're going to do it!

And last but not least...our 6:30 group! Team 'The lovable Curmudgeon and His Redneck Betty' took the win for the second time with a 1.65% for the week! Jeff and Jessie, you two are lookin' great! Jeff, I'm counting on you to help us with some of those 252 pounds! You believe we can do it...I believe with you!

Not only did we talk about the power of words today...but we kicked of our very own 'Day After Thanksgiving day SCALE.' Friday, November 26th, Glenda and I are going to be here at the clinic from 5 AM to 8 AM, weighing you in...giving out prizes every 30 minutes and just having fun! We hope you'll plan to join us and use this fun opportunity to hold yourself accountable for making healthy choices on Thanksgiving day.

Have I told you lately how much I love the Team Challenge? How much I love seeing you not only lose weight but experience a better life? How I love to watch the community support you give each other? Well, I LOVE IT!

Thanks to Craig Thompson of team 'Thompthins' and Manager of the Hotel Monaco, for his generous gift. Thanks to our team mates for all the donations that support this challenge. We wouldn't be successful without you!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK: Be aware of your words! Choose them carefully. Not only the words you use towards each other...but also the words you use as you talk to yourself!

Until next week...(and you won't want to miss this one!)
Always encouraging you.
Letha

The Buck Stops Here!

No Cave November is in full swing at The Healthy Weigh! Our teams lost a total of 132 pounds Tuesday to start out the November contest. It's exciting to see how many of our team mates are already past their 20 pound mark on this 6th week of the Team Challenge!

Noon held our winners for the day and our greatest weight loss of the day. Team 'String Bean Jeans' danced away with the win with a 2.03% of weight loss for the week! Sandra and Sherry were excited as they left the building with banners worn proudly and beautiful throws courtesy of one of our amazing clients.

At five our winners couldn't have been happier! Team 'All is Not Lost' shed a couple of tears as they were crowned winners for the week. Jan and Jill have been working VERY hard and it paid off this week with a 1.85% of weight loss! Congratulations you two. I'm so proud of you. Jill was excited to wear her banner proudly as she teaches math at Battleground High School this week! Go Tigers!

Our last group of the day was small but mighty! Team 'TomKat' took the evening win with a 1.14 % of weight loss. Tom and Kathy aren't going to have to fight over the best throw in the house...they each won one! Congratulations! I'm looking forward to hearing about Tom's 'banner pride' as he wears it all over town this week! :-)

We focused on a great life principle today..."The Buck Stops Here." I shared a truth statement from a life changing book, The Travelers Gift, by Andy Andrews.

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK: has two parts...one, read the truth statement each day until next Tuesday(I posted it below so ALL could participate) and two, go out and buy the book.

I don't normally suggest a purchase to all my clients...but this book truly is a must have!

I'm excited for the weeks ahead, looking forward to your continued success and celebrating what you've already accomplished. Below you'll find your truth statement to read this week!

THE BUCK STOPS HERE
From this moment forward, I will accept responsibility for my past. I understand that the beginning of wisdom is to accept the responsibility for my own problems and that by accepting responsibility for my past, I free my self to move into a bigger, brighter future of my own choosing.

Never again will I blame my parents, my spouse, my boss, or other employees for my present situation. Neither my education or lack of one, my genetics, or the circumstances of every day life will affect my future in a negative way. If I allow myself to blame these uncontrollable forces for my lack of success, I will be forever caught in a web of the past. I will look forward. I will not let my history control my destiny.
The buck stops here. I accept responsibility for my past. I am responsible for my success. I am where I am today, mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially because of the decisions I have made. My decisions have always been governed by my thinking, therefore I am where I am today mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially, because of how I think. Today I will begin the process of changing where I am mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially, by changing the way I think. My thoughts will be constructive never destructive. My mind will live in the solution of the future. It will not dwell in the problems of the past. I will seek the association of those who are working and striving to bring about positive changes in the world. I will never seek comfort by associating with those who have decided to be comfortable.
When faced with the opportunity to make a decision, I will make one. The rise a fall of my emotional tide will not deter me from my course. When I make a decision, I will stand behind it. My energy will go into, making the decisions. I will waste none on second thoughts. My life will not be an apology, It will be a statement. The buck stops here. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. In the future when I am tempted to ask the question, “Why me?” I will immediately counter with the question “Why not me?” Challenges are gifts, opportunities to learn. Problems are the common thread running through great men and women. In times of adversity, I will not have a problem to deal with; I will have a choice to make. My thoughts will be clear. I will make the right choice. Adversity is preparation for greatness. I will accept this preparation. Why me? Why not me? I will be prepared for something great.
I accept responsibility for my past. I control my thoughts. I control my emotions. I am responsible for my success.
The buck stops here.

Always encouraging you,
Letha

NO CAVE NOVEMBER!

You've all heard of "No Shave November?"...neither had I until my son went away to college! The things our tuition dollars buy!! :-) No Shave November has been celebrated for years all over the country. Young and old men alike, make a pact to go without shaving the whole month of November!
Why? Who knows!!

Well, I'm always looking for ways to inspire the clients participating in the Team Challenge...so I came up with our own version of "No Shave November"...it's called "NO CAVE NOVEMBER!" That's right...we're not going to cave in this November.No matter what you've done so far in the Team Challenge, you have an opportunity to hit it hard this month and step into December feeling amazed and proud of your accomplishments! We're not caving into society's unhealthy November eating habits. We're not caving into friends and family that sabotage us, we're not caving into discouragement, or frustration, or lack of motivation. Oh it's on "NO CAVE NOVEMBER!!"
Why? Because we are a community of people living our best lives right now, today. We will use any opportunity to make the right choice and be healthy! That's why!

Every Client who weighed in yesterday received a NO CAVE NOVEMBER graph that will be used as a great visual to keep track of their weight loss for these next 5 Tuesdays in November. The exciting announcement was that the Team Challenge participant with the greatest % of weight loss during the month of November will receive the best prize of all...Healthy Weigh For Life!... as Glenda asked..."Is that worth playing for?" Oh yea!

Not only was Tuesday a day to kick off a new contest within a contest, but it was a day to focus on one of the great lessons of celebration, The Daffodil Principle.
The clinic was decorated like a daffodil garden and we heard the great story that inspired us to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time,
(often just one baby-step at a time),learn to love the doing, and use the accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change our world.

At Noon, We celebrate with our winning team 'Shrinking Sisters' with a weight loss % of 1.30 for the week! Congratulations Wendy and Krista. You girls are looking great!

Five O'clock brought more weight loss and more enthusiasm. Team 'Thin It To Win It' took the win with a 1.97 %. Christie was lovin' on her partner Amy after their team was announced!

Our 6:30 group hosted the top team of the day! Team 'Lovable Curmudgeon and his Redneck Betty' won for the week with a 2.11% of weight loss. Jeff and Jessie are going to look great sporting their winning banners to church on Sunday!

Our Teams were gifted this week thanks to two Team Challenge participants that donated money last week. Thanks to the love and support of these clients, all three teams won a prize this week!

I can't forget to talk about the outstanding effort of the "Not one stinkin' Piece" challenge! Not one piece of Halloween candy...that's what I'm talking about! Wow...GREAT job you guys! So many of you followed through and the 137 pound loss for the week proved that you did it!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THIS WEEK:
Plant those daffodil bulbs! Put those in the ground and look forward to spring when they rise up and say..."Congratulations on your weight loss."

Another fun and successful week of the Team Challenge is behind us...but NO CAVE NOVEMBER is ahead of us and it's going to be great! I'm looking forward to some great weight loss next week.
Until then, post comments on this blog, encourage each other, and we'll see you next week.

Always encouraging you,
Letha

Two are Better than One!

Who ever thought losing weight could be so much fun? That's what we had at the Team Challenge this week...fun! Our teams showed up in style Tuesday proving that two are better than one! With costumes, matching shirts, songs and a poem or two, we entered the 4th week of this team Challenge raring to go! Rumor has it, there was a run on "Doing It" shirts at Champs this week! I love it!

Noon time celebrated our winning team for the day. 'Team One-Eighty' took the weekly win with a 2.36% weight loss! Congratulations Barry and Krystal, you two are going to have a great time at your cooking class with Nancy. 50 pounds were lost by our noon group this week. See the words to one of the great songs of the day at the closing of this blog. Thanks to Wendy from team 'Bad Genes~Further Evidence,' we had a little music this week!

Five O'clock knows how to have fun. We laughed and lost another 58 pounds this week! Team 'Kickin it with Kankles' took the win with 2.0% weight loss for the week. Congratulations to Gail and Alyssa...and by the way, loved your shirts!

Our last group of the night showed their personal style as well. We even had a team get inked for the occasion! Team 'Almost there,' loved the tattoos! With a 1.05% of weight loss for the week, team 'In It To Win It' took the win at 6:30. Congratulations to Mitch and Brenda. They persevered this week and it made a difference!

We focused this week on the importance of learning to create urgency about our weight loss and our health. We are people of urgency. We know what's important, but we respond to what is urgent...(like a bowl of Halloween candy in front of us.) As we head in to this difficult time of year for dieters everywhere, we are convinced that this is the BEST time of year to be working together as teams and as a community, to eat healthy and set limits.

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Don't eat one piece of Halloween candy...'not one stinkin' piece'!
Create urgency this week about following your nutritional plan! Why is it a MUST?!!

Thank you to our Sponsor for the week, Nancy Higgins. She is a true supporter of The Healthy Weigh and all of you.

Below are the lyrics to the song Wendy wrote and sang at noon. It is to the tune of "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone"..sing along! ( by the way, Wendy should be celebrating her 200 pound weight loss mark with us during this Team Challenge!)

I can see clearly now the haze is gone
All my excuses have flown away
I have decided and that's all there is
It's gonna be a bright, bright, new healthy weigh

Nothing this good can ever come easy
Working each day to make myself strong,
But melting away feels so amazing
I'll measure my food my whole life long

I've burned all my bridges now there's no return
I wont go back to painful yesterdays
This is the future I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright, bright, new healthy weigh.

Have a great week my friends...don't let up, you're doing it!
Let's see some great posts on this blog, you're encouragement last week was outstanding! Get on face book and become a fan of The Healthy Weigh...I'm posting a photo album of yesterdays event!

Always encouraging you,
Letha

DOING IT!

Week # 3 of the Team Challenge was exciting as our teams dropped another 197 pounds! As we focused on 'DOING IT' rather than the suggestion to 'JUST DO IT', I challenged our teams to be doers this week...regarding the nutritional plan, motivation and team work!

At noon,our winning team 'Forced Family Fun' took the weekly win with a 1.85% of weight loss for the week. Congratulations to Phyllis and Katelyn! You are proving that families can have fun at the Team Challenge! Our noon teams lost a total of 50.9 pounds...coming in third place for the day between our three groups.

Five O'clock turned out to be a winning group all the way around! 'Old Dogs New Tricks' took the win for the day with a 3.18% for the week. Mike and Ralph shared their secret..."they just follow the nutritional plan"! They were the winners of the Rubbermaid 40 piece containers...so helpful to have in your kitchen to continue this life of healthy eating! Our 5:00 group lost a total of 89.9 pounds, leading the way this third week of the Team Challenge!

Our last group of the day hosted the winner of the 2 lb contest! Congratulations to Maureen for winning the beautiful fall basket of goodies! Team 'Cereal Killers' took the win for this group with a 1.96 % of weight loss for the week. Congratulations to Vicki and Becky, the sashes look great on you! 56.1 more pounds were dropped at 6:30...love to see those unwanted pounds left behind!

As we focused on DOING IT, one of our biggest helps in being successful at this Team Challenge, is our partner! I challenged the teams to use each other to be better this week!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
1. Do something fun, creative, powerful...for your partner this week! Be a life coach and make a difference for your team mate!
2. Come next week, looking like partners! (I know you love this part)

Thank you to our sponsor for the week, Barry Brandenburg, attorney at law. The support that our friends of The Healthy Weigh show, make this Team Challenge the success that it is!

Be DOERS this week! Don't wait until the conditions are just right. Be in the process of DOING IT and you will see success on the scale next Tuesday!

Post a comment on this blog to receive an extra ticket in the drawing next week!

Always encouraging you.

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

DECIDE COMMIT SUCCEED!

Let the fun begin! The Fall Team Challenge is officially under way! We weighed in 50 teams Tuesday to begin an exciting, challenging 10 weeks. With before pictures being taken and partnership agreements being signed, we are well on our way to the greatest Team Challenge yet! Tuesday marked the opening of our 6th season. I'm already convinced, it will be our best!

At noon, 5 and 6:30 we heard some more creative team names as we weighed our challengers in for the very first time. Matching tee shirts, hats and a couple pair of shades showed the team spirit in the room already. I love it!

As much fun as we had meeting the teams, the seriousness of what we're really here to do was focused on as well. I set a challenge before this group that I've never done before...to stay 100% on the program for the entire 10 weeks! To cut off any other possibility...to decide, commit and succeed at this Team Challenge in ways they've never done before!

Our focus for the week as we are just getting started was to take that very important first step...the first step to any change is to decide what you want. We often know what we don't want, but rarely take the time to really look at what we do want.

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK: Decide what you really want. Make a list of what you want in regards to your weight and your health. Bring that list back into the clinic next week for a ticket in the drawing!

For an extra ticket in the drawing... come in and say "I've decided, I'm committed and I am going to succeed."

Every participant received a copy of the CD series yesterday. I'm excited to see some or all of you each Thursday for the next 6 weeks to review and process each week of our personal control guides. Glenda and I will present a 30 minute class Thursdays at noon and 6. I hope to see you there.

It's going to be a great 10 weeks. I can already feel it! Get with your partners this week, make a plan for greatness, cut off any other possibility and we'll see you soon.

Always encouraging you.
Letha

You CAN Teach Old Dogs New Tricks!

We found that out this summer at the FREEDOM Team Challenge! Team 'Old Dogs New Tricks' took the win for the Summer Team Challenge with a weight loss % of 14.61 and a total of 69 pounds lost in just 7 weeks! Congratulations to Ralph and Mike! $1000 grand prize was delivered to the 'Old Dogs' as the other competitors looked on with support!

In second place, with a major effort was team 'Big Hinnes' Ron and Tammy lost a total of 54.2 pounds in 7 weeks and a weight loss % of 13.79! Congratulations to you two. Your competitive nature pushed the other team right along! Ron was awarded the top prize for the men losing a total of 37 pounds during this Team Challenge!

Our third place team really wanted this one! Team 'Shrinky Dinks' did all they could, including winning the jackets for the last time, to win this Team Challenge. Holly and Cherie, you look amazing! With a 41.8 pound loss between the two of you, and a weight loss % of 12.75, I'd say you are winners too! Cherie held the honor of being the female with the greatest % of weight loss for this team Challenge with 15.66% loss!

Some other very notable awards went to Cathy G., our top female loser of this Team Challenge with a weight loss of 30.6 pounds in just 7 weeks! and Verna W. who was close behind! Team 'String Bean Jeans' took a fun award...the team with the greatest consistency, without ever winning! Congrats to Shari and Sandra!

As we closed out another very successful Team Challenge, I reminded all our participants that freedom takes time! The fight to be free from being over weight,and using food inappropriately is a fight that takes time...more time than 8 weeks!

As we looked back at the fun, the challenges, and the success of this Team Challenge, it still gets down to our thought life today and the choices we will continue to make each and every day.

So many of our teams will be joining us in the next 4 weeks for our Healthy Weigh University and then on into the fall for our 10 week Team Challenge! It's with great enthusiasm that I close out this Team Challenge and begin to prepare for another round of exciting, fun, encouragement that will help clients lose weight and improve their lives!

Congratulations to all of you who participated until the end, who took on the challenges each week to permanently change your lives! I'm proud to walk beside you and share your success.

Until fall...I sign out from the Team Challenge...
But am Always encouraging you.
Letha

The White Team Rules!!

I can still see the faint marks of blue stars on my face this morning! The competition was stiff,the blue and white props were fun...Blue Team, you gave it a good shot! White Team...you did it! Congratulations for winning the weight loss challenge for the week! Pam M. from '8 is Enuff' was really excited as she received the $100 visa gift card for the white win!

We had outstanding weight loss this 7th week of the Freedom Team Challenge! A little competition and a whole lot of fun equal a positive outcome!

At Noon, team 'We Can Do It' did it! They won the weekly team win with a weight loss % of 1.96! Congratulations to Verna and Brenda! They will be attending Healthy Weigh University on a full ride scholarship!

Our teams at Six PM were all fired up and it showed by their weight loss. Team 'Old Dogs New Tricks' won the weekly challenge with a 3.72 % of weight loss for the week! Those two dogs lost 16 pounds together in one week! Congratulations Mike and Ralph, you looked terrific in the freedom jackets!

Our theme for the week was "Back to School". While children and teachers across the country are focusing on going back to school, The Healthy Weigh is too. As we near the end of this summer session, we are convinced that continued learning...year around school, is the key for permanent weight loss.

We announced our exciting Healthy Weigh University on Tuesday. This 4 week course is sure to inspire and teach to keep our Healthy Weigh students retaining and growing!
The other important announcement was the news of our Fall Team Challenge!
October 5th will be the start of our 6th Season of this outstanding Team Challenge! We are kicking it up a notch with three times and three prizes! First,second and third place will be rewarded this fall!

Our Freedom Team Challenge participants were given a "Back to School Special" to encourage them to sign up for Healthy Weigh University and The Fall Team Challenge!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Enroll in something at The Healthy Weigh! Take advantage of these specials before they expire August 31st!

We've got 140 pounds to go, to reach our all time record for weight loss at a Team Challenge! One week to go...we need everyone's help and everyone's weigh-in! We can do this if we work together!

Have a great last week...the teams are neck and neck for the win...can't wait to see what happens! Looking forward to the Grand Finale at 6PM next week!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
