I Will Persist Without Exception!

We received our last DECISION Tuesday at The Healthy Weigh... The persistent decision, I will persist without exception. The persistent decision is the key to the other six. Without this particular decision, the other six are meaningless. When you make and own this decision, the other six are certain to work! The arch angel, Gabriel, was our last historical figure to visit, he handed David the seventh and final decision of these travels!

Committing to the persistent decision means you accept responsibility. You constantly seek wisdom. You never stop being a person of action. You have a decided heart, without exception! You choose to be happy every single day. You greet each day with a forgiving spirit. Every single one of the other six decisions hinges on your acceptance of the seventh. "I will persist without exception." It's the one that brings them all together!

We visited that place Andy Andrews called "the place that never was" The place where all the things were kept that were about to be delivered just as a person stopped working and praying for them. The warehouse that was filled with the dreams and goals of the less courageous. I have to wonder if The Healthy Weigh has a room in that warehouse. A room where the dreams and goals of our clients are stacked because they eased up, took a detour, or just quit!  I challenged our travelers to persist without exception!

We had a couple of back to back winners this week and celebrated another repeat winning team as well. Congratulations to all of you!

Noon  Team "Hope" Oksana and Luba, won for the second time with a 1.10% of weight loss for the week.
5:30    Team "No More Excess Baggage" Joe and Leta, won for their second week in a row with a 1.23% of weight loss for the week!
7:00    Team "Getting' Jiggy With It" Sean and Ruth, also won for their second week in a row with a 1.87 % of weight loss for the week!

It's coming down to the wire...this time next week three teams will be a little richer and excited about their final push! Who will win this Winter Team Challenge?


We announced our Spring Team Challenge theme this week and we're pretty excited about it!  I've been studying an important subject in the life of people who are trying to change..."WILLPOWER"!

According to the American Psychological Association, Americans name lack of willpower as the number one reason they struggle to meet their goals. We are going to be all about that this Spring at The Healthy Weigh! And...we're going to have a little fun while we're doing it!  We're calling on the help of some Super Heroes to help us..."Captain WILLPOWER" will be sure to invite enthusiasm and motivation for this Spring Team Challenge!

Speaking of the Spring Team Challenge...one of the challenges for the week to receive a ticket in next weeks drawing is to sign up for the Spring Team Challenge... On line this week or before we get started next week! It's going to be a powerful 10 weeks!

Your Challenges For the Week:

Read the persistent decision every day this week and answer the questions on the back of the hand out.

Enroll in the Spring Team Challenge.

AND a Bonus Challenge!  Lose 2.5 pounds this week for a ticket in a special drawing for $100 to be given out at the Grand Finale next week!  A client convinced me to offer up one ticket for EACH 2.5 pounds!  You're on!

We look forward to celebrating all the accomplishments of the last 10 weeks at our 6 PM Finale Tuesday!  We will be there at noon to weigh our noon time clients in and then meet back together for a great time at 6PM when we say our final goodbyes to the Winter Team Challenge!

Make this a persistent kind of week!  Make every day count, every meal count, ever workout count and ever glass of water count...as you finish out this outstanding 10 week challenge!

Always encouraging you,
Letha

Sometimes We Just Gotta Talk About FOOD!!

I know it's foreign to some people, that you'd come to a weight loss organization and spend little time talking about the very thing that causes you to gain weight...FOOD. You'd think that every week, we'd spend time discussing nutrition and recipes.You'd think that every week we'd give tips and helps for eating in and eating out.  But here's what I've learned in the last 30 years...it's not about the FOOD! Of course, we've got to eat a proper diet of whole fresh foods to lose weight. And of course, we've got to learn to say yes to the right foods and no to the wrong foods.  Gaining weight and losing weight is a math problem, and sometimes you've got to do math.

This week at the Team Challenge was ALL about FOOD! We had some fun talking about the miracle foods of this century. We looked at restaurant eating and simplified it... "The food you need is in the kitchen!" And I shared some of my favorite concepts that have helped me keep my weight off for years.  Even though I know that there's more to losing weight and keeping it off than FOOD...it was good to spend this Tuesday talking about it!

Three brand new teams won the weight loss for the week and took home the little red hearts along with the prize for the week AND the luggage!  Congratulations to all of you!


Noon: Team "Sisterhood of the Traveling Skinny Pants"  Kristi and Miki  with a 1.67% of weight loss!
5:30:   Team "2 Ready for Travel" Jill and Anita with a 2.51 % of weight loss!
7:00:   Team "Lamp Chops" Matt and Melissa with a 1.81 % of weight loss!

Good job all of you...and to all of you who are showing up each week regardless of your weight loss for the week. That's how you change your thinking.  You keep on coming!!! Change your thinking, and you will change your life!

Your Challenge for the week:
Go out to eat and stay on program!  Bring in the receipt for a ticket in the drawing!

Download week # 5 "Exercise and Weight Loss ~  It's a Math Problem" and do the homework provided!

We have three weeks left of this Team Challenge! Three weeks is enough time to do GREAT things!  Lose weight, learn more, change your thought life... lots of really GREAT things!

Next week we meet Abe Lincoln!  It's going to be a fantastic week!

Always encouraging you,
Letha
