The Healthy Weigh is Your 12th Man!

Oh people...we're in the 3rd quarter of the game and we're in the red zone and how a team performs in the red zone determines the outcome of the game! How many times have you been in the red zone with your weight loss and not scored a touch down? NOT THIS TIME! The Healthy Weigh is your 12th man and we are going to make sure that we do everything possible to provide you with all you need to go for the goal!

We were excited to announce our Summer Team Challenge on Tuesday! Going for the goal means that you are beginning to focus on and plan on what happens at the end of this Team Challenge. Our Summer Team Challenge is going to be fun and we've got some great things in store for you. We will start the Summer Team Challenge July 13th and it will end 8 weeks later on August 31st! This week only, we are offering the END ZONE SPECIAL...8 weeks for the price of 7. $210 will reserve your spot in the 5th season of The Healthy Weigh's Team Challenge. Contact me before the week's up to reserve your spot in the end zone! letha@healthyweigh.com

With all the football fun, we had some great weight loss this week. We have team mates who made a decision to burn their ships...and it shows!
At Noon team 'Flab 2 Fab' took the win with a weight loss % of 2.12 for the week! Marilyn and Holly are having fun beating family members in this Team Challenge!

Six PM hosted our big winners of the Sea hawk tickets this week!
Team 'Kick Butt, Lose Gut' proudly received the jackets and the football tickets with a weight loss % of 2.24! Shonda and Alyssa, you two are kicking some major butt!

To beat the weight loss record of the very first Team Challenge, our teams have committed to losing a little over 100 pounds per week. This week they did their part with a loss of 124 pounds for the week! Every pound counts...don't miss a weigh in!

A BIG thank you to our sponsor of the week, the Parkin-Rego family, friends of the Healthy Weigh, donated the 4 Sea hawk tickets for our winning team to enjoy! Thanks so much for your support!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK IS:
Sign up for the next Team challenge! Summer 2010 is going to be a blast!

As we head in to week # 8 of this Team Challenge...remember my friends, you are in the red zone. How you perform from here on out...will determine the outcome of YOUR game! Win!

Always encouraging you.

Burn Those Ships!

We had a guest speaker this week at The Team Challenge! Thank you Scott for coming and inspiring us to burn our ships, commit to the end and never turn back! As the winner of the Fall Team Challenge, Scott knows what it means to go the distance! It's great to hear from a fellow sojourner.

Being out of town didn't keep me from hearing about the fun and weight loss you all had this week! Congratulations AGAIN to team 'Boys to Thin' for their win for the week. Joe and Bill had a weight loss % of 1.79 for the week! You guys are looking great!

At Six,team 'Home Run Losers' took the win for the night with a 1.62 % of weight loss for the week! They also were the great people who donated the prize for the week! Beaver baseball tickets and passes on the light rail were given to the winning teams at noon and Six. Cindy and Don from 'Home Run Losers' took the jackets home, but donated those great tickets to the second place team of the night...'Bulging Boomers'. Thanks Don and Cindy for Sponsoring this week and giving your prize away too!

Between the two groups, 146 more pounds were lost this week! We've got 443 pounds to go, to beat the record of the very first Team Challenge! Four weigh-in's to go...can we do it? I vote YES!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Scott challenged you to get out and exercise this week. Three sessions of 30 minutes each...and over achieving is acceptable! :-)

So glad to hear that you've burned your ships...you are focused on the 4 weeks ahead...and this week, you'll pick up the exercise!
I look forward to seeing you all, I missed you!

Join me this Saturday morning, May 22nd at 9 AM in front of Beaches restaurant on the water front for a walk...rain or shine, I'll be there. Hey, that can count for one of your 30 minute sessions! Hope to see a bunch of you there!

Always Encouraging You.

Motivation is in the Doing!

Week # 5 of the Team Challenge was fun! I have to say that the evening group really brought it! Teams at Six provided us with songs, poems and clever costuming! The team spirit was really felt this week!

This weeks winners both at Noon and Six have done this winning thing before! The winning team for the day attends the Noon group. 'Boys to Thin' you did it again with a weight loss % of 2.36 for the week. Bill and Joe are going to get to take their wives for an over night stay to the Hotel Monaco Courtesy of Craig Thompson, General Manager. His beautiful wife is our very own, Carbo, with team 'Best in Chow'. Congratulations to Joe and Bill and a big Thank you to our Sponsor, Craig, from Hotel Monaco.

Team 'Kick Butt,Lose Gut' got to take home the pretty orange jackets with a weight loss % of 2.17! Shonda and Alyssa did it again! They seem to be going head to head with that team 'Boys to Thin'. You two are looking amazing!

We discussed motivation this week at the Team Challenge! They say motivation doesn't last...neither does bathing, that's why we do it daily! The point made Tuesday was that motivation is in the doing! To keep motivation high, we must continually do.
Motivation comes from the word motive...the inner drive that causes one to act. What that motive is....is different for every person. The key to keeping motivation alive...is to figure that out and do something about it!

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK:
Get motivated! Do something about your motivation and bring in a written slip of what you did! That is the only way to get a ticket in the drawing next week!

Motivation will drive you this week. Choose to pump yours up! You will be pleased with the results that your own motivation brings you.

Until next week...Choose your thoughts and words carefully...reward yourself for this grand new lifestyle that you are living! Be proud! I'm proud of you!

Always Encouraging You.

"Si Se Puede"..."Yes We Can!"

We celebrated Cinco De Mayo Tuesday at the Team Challenge! The music got us in to a festive mood as we practiced our Spanish!
The teams showed up to do some business this week and together lost 150 more pounds! We're almost at 1000 pounds in just 3 weigh-ins!

At noon team 'Reddy Set Go' took the win for the whole day with a weight loss % of 1.71. Congratulations to Laura and Helen. You gals are looking good in your red shirts with those orange winners jackets! Barry Brandenburg, Attorney at Law sponsored our winners today with $100 prize! Thanks Barry, your support matters!

Team 'Spice Girls' were excited to win at 6 PM with a weight loss % of 1.69 for the week. Jane and Pat had a great week and it showed! Congratulations you two! Keep it up!

We got some great news this week about "Chow Time". Ron, from team 'Big Hinnes' is the manager of the Salmon Creek Albertons. They have offered to sponsor "Chow Time" for the rest of this Team Challenge. What great support from our local community. Thank You Albertsons! This week a couple of lucky winners took home watermelon salsa, just in time for Cinco De Mayo!

We got pretty serious this week as we talked about passing the buck! Accepting responsibility for your past, present and future makes all the difference in the world! The future has great things in store when we compleltly accept responsibility for our lives, never blaming another person, thing or circumstance for where we are today. There is no room to pass the buck..only opportunity to say..."The Buck Stops Here" right now with me! I hope that our Team Challenge particiapnts rush out and get the book, The Travelers Gift by Andy Andrews.

As we look in to week # 5 of the Team Challenge I encouarge our teams to kick it up a knotch with support and encouargenent for each other this week.

YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK IS:
Come to the Team Challenge next week with a visible sign that you are a TEAM! Encourage your partner throughout the week and then come and celebrate team work next Tuesday!

This week, I have more clients to thank for great gifts. Jerry and Becky...thanks for the pedomoters...Debbie, your "thin-spirations" will make a difference in lives this week! Community...that's what makes this Team Challenge so amazing!

Have a strong week...choosing to say often, "The Buck Stops Here" 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.
