Team Challenge Standings as of 07/27/10
Christmas in July!
Our teams received a great gift today, a gift just like Scrooge in A Christmas Carol! They took a journey to the past, present and future. And just like with Scrooge, the journey was hard and painful. As painful as the night was...joy came in the morning! Joy came because Scrooge had a choice about how he was going to live out the rest of his life and he choose a new life!
This was an important exercise for our teams to experience today. Creating urgency to lose weight and keep it off will be a tool that makes losing weight and keeping it off easier!
Everything we do , we do out of our need to seek pleasure or avoid pain. Using pain as our friend to change ANY behavior is one of the most valuable lessons I've learned. We felt some pain at the Team Challenge today...but because of that, I know freedom's coming!
Noon time housed our big winner for the day as team 'Shrinky Dinks' lost 2.46 for the week! Congratulations to Holly and Cherie, you're the winners of that great cooking class at Nancy's house! You beat a lot of teams to win this one. Good for you! Along with their great loss, the other teams lost a total of 83.8 pounds at noon. We're on our way to beating that record!
Team 'Big Hinnes' did it again this week with a weight loss % of 2.13 at the six PM weigh in. Ron and Tammy are going to have to take their jackets back one more time to add another touch! I'm proud of you guys for making the decision! To add to the loss for the day, our evening teams dropped another 73.2 pounds!
Your Challenge for the week won't be an easy one...I hope that you take this one very seriously and experience an urgency about your decision to lose weight and keep it off for life.
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK IS:
Link pain to 5, 10, and 20 years into the future, if you don't make permanent changes with your eating habits and lifestyle. Make a list of the pain you will have if you don't change! Create urgency!
For an extra ticket in the drawing, come in a repeat these words...
(LINK PAIN,NO GAIN) there's a little play on words that will remind you that using pain as your friend can make a huge difference in your future to keep your weight off for life!
I hope this week that you will take this challenge very seriously. Not for a ticket in the drawing...but for a change in your life.
Always encouraging you,
Letha

Freedom from Stinkin' Thinkin'
I love week # 2 of the Team Challenge! We celebrated weight loss Tuesday in a big way! 370.4 pounds were dropped this week by some motivated, on fire, people!
The best part of the day for me, was listening to the 'secret code' over and over as our teams signed in for the day! I heard at least 90 people say to me "I AM FREE"! I'm loving that, and believing that they are going to be free from a lot of things by the end of this FREEDOM Summer Team Challenge! I saw decorated folders, lists of what people really wanted and excited faces as clients weighed in and saw big drops in their weight!
At noon we unveiled our winning "jackets". Red, white and blue will be worn by winning teams this summer Team Challenge. FREEDOM was embroidered on the chest of the jackets to remind the winners each week of what they are after! Team 'Partners in Focus' were the first to receive the jackets! You would have thought they won the $1000, with the amount of enthusiasm they had claiming the weekly win! Congratulations Jan and Steve for a weight loss % of 3.98 this week! What a great way to start out your challenge!
We had "Chow Time" with grilled peaches and prizes to give away both at noon and six where the fun continued! Our winning Team at six took the big win for the day with a weight loss % of 4.73! Wow...'Big Hinnies' you had a terrific week! Congratulations Ron and Tammy. Our Sponsor for the week and a true supporter of the Team Challenge, and all its participants, Glenda Bigalky, donated $100 to the winning team this week! Ron and Tammy picked a good week to win! Thank you Glenda for your support!
Our focus was on our thought life this week! Being free from negative thinking...which will get you free from negative actions! I read a little poem to remind us all that we are the keepers of the keys to our minds. Here it is...
You are the Keeper of the keys
You are the guard at the gate
Waiting in line to get through that door
is love . And also hate.
In line to enter is gentle peace and also violent war.
You must choose who may, and who may not come through the door.
Intolerance tries to sneak on through
On wings of fear or pride.
It hides behind dreams of belonging, and tries to sneak inside.
Oh be alert. You’re the guard who decides
who goes and who must stay
you are the keeper of the keys to your mind
who will you let in today?
Being free from over eating is ALL about our thought life! I challenged everyone present to be on guard this week with their thought life.
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK IS:
Be Free from negative thinking.
This is going to take work and a repeated effort on all of our parts. It's proven to be life changing for me...I know it will for you too!
Looking forward to a fun filled, weight losing week, next week. Think rightly...eat healthy...and I'll see you Tuesday.
Always encouraging you.

FREEDOM...That's What's Happening at this Team Challenge!
Season five started out with a bang! 47 Teams weighed in to begin an eight week journey of fun, weight loss and freedom! We choose FREEDOM as our theme for this summer Team Challenge. Red, white and blue balloons decorated the place while music played and flags were waved! The energy was high as we focused our thoughts ahead to this next 8 weeks.
At noon we said hello to some new friends and some old friends too. We heard some great teams names as each team marched up the isle for their first weigh in! Three returning participants had their names thrown in a drawing for $100 but the drawing would have to wait until our 6PM group had a chance to get in on the fun! I could already feel the love and support at noon...this group has personality!
At Six we kept the party going by weighing in the rest of the groups. As we talked about FREEDOM the mood was set for this summer Team Challenge! Even more names were thrown in to the drawing for losing 4 pounds or more between Team Challenges. It just happened that when I drew the winning ticket, the client who had lost the most weight, 7.4 pounds from the last Team Challenge to this one, won the $100! Congratulations Tressa from team 'Begin-Within'. The evening group is going to have some fun...I can just feel it!
We looked over partnership agreements, glanced at the schedule of events and were challenged for the week to participate fully in this outstanding 8 week program!
Freedom is our theme. You see, to be free is not to do whatever comes naturally, that in fact is bondage to the flesh;It is not to pursue our appetites without restraint. To be free is to possess the desire and the ability to do what is good, to become the person I was created to be, to reach my full potential. That is what we'll be celebrating in the next weeks to come at this Team Challenge!
For our first challenge we always start at the beginning because the first step to any change is to"decide what you want!"
Your first challenge is to write down what you really want! To help you think this way... If you lost your weight and it was permanent what would your life look like then!? That’s what you really want.
YOUR CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK IS:
Decide what you want and write it down, make a list, bring it back into the clinic next week.
You might want to know this secret code as well (I AM FREE). Repeat that secret code when you sign in next week and you'll be entered into a drawing for a fabulous prize!
As always, I am energized and excited about the next 7 weeks! I hope you are too. Make a decision, cut off any other possibility and let's do this thing!
For more encouragement throughout the week, you can go onto my blog "Encouragement from Letha". I write every Friday.
Until next week,
Always encouraging you,
Letha
