We started out the evening paying tribute to the victims and families of the Clackamas and Connecticut tragedies. We were reminded through these horrific events that life is precious. I challenged the clients to live out their very best lives in response to these events. We are better when we take care of ourselves. Better to those we love and better to those we work and play with. Rather than having these stories stir up fear in our souls, we choose to have them motivate us to reflect and pursue our very best lives.
The passengers of the Dinami had their final weigh-in's, their after pictures taken and we heard about their weight loss one last time from our Cruise Director, Glenda McCoy! We celebrated as our team mates received certificates for making the 20, 30, 40, and 60 pound clubs! Congratulations to all of you! Outstanding job!!
Marlene D. had us in tears as she hit her 100 pound weight loss mark Tuesday! She also won the prize for the greatest weight loss % for the week! How fitting...it was $100! Congratulations Marlene! You are an inspiration at 71 years old! Who ever said "you can't lose weight when you get older" hadn't met you!!! We're so proud of you!
We highlighted some special winners last night!
Male with the greatest weight loss: Mark M. 61.5 pounds!
Female with the greatest weight loss: Mya M. 35.4 pounds!
Male with the greatest weight loss %: Joe T. 19.96% !
Female with the greatest weight loss %: Renee R. 20.75% ! (Renee had the greatest % of EVERYONE)
Our Alumni did it again! They presented scholarships to deserving passengers so that they can continue on this journey at the Winter Team Challenge 2013! They also gave out 10 "Travelers Gift" books to lucky winners! Alumni...We love you!!
Our deserving scholarship winners were:
Angella L. ~Debbie F. ~ Susan B. ~ and Crystal M. Congratulation to you all. The generosity of our Alumni will make a great difference in the lives of these 4 women! How exciting!!
Then it was time to announce our top three teams for the Fall Team Challenge! We had a first at this 14th season of the Team Challenge! All three teams were a husband a wife duo! Congratulations to all of you!
Third place and winners of $300 "Bobbin; Along" Lucas and Bethany with a 14.49% of weight loss
Second place and winners of $500 "From Thick to Thin" Jim and Renee with a 18.24% of weight loss
First place and winners of $1000 "Mission Slim Possible" Joe and Bilinda with a 19.51 % of weight loss!
You all did an amazing job in the last ten weeks! I'm pleased for you individually, but also excited for you as couples. Feeling good about yourself and taking care of yourself makes a huge difference in your married life!
It takes me a few days after each Team Challenge to get my feet back on the ground! One of my favorite things to do is celebrate people success and I get to do it every ten weeks at The Healthy Weigh! It was a powerful night and I'm proud of all of you!
Our ten week cruise was a great success. I believe that with the changed thinking of our passengers, we will see positive results in the next weeks to come until we meet again for the Winter Team Challenge 2013!
To all of you, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I believe we are in for some outrageous success in 2013 and I can't wait!
The DINAMI is back at the dock, but the memories of this fall cruise will last a life time! I trust that you will have pleasant memories when reflecting on your sailing experience on THW DINAMI! Godspeed.
Always encouraging you,
Letha
