Wa-Rite

Wa-Rite members lost a total of 6.5 pounds in the week ending April 14. The top loser’s title was shared by three members: Henrietta Peavy, Rosemary Trujuillo and Shirley LeBrecque, with a loss of 1 pound each. They also split the weekly cash purse.

Last week’s meeting also marked the official beginning of the four-week April showers brings May flowers contest. The club wishes luck to all the participants.

The topic of discussion was finding healthier alternatives to satisfy a sweet tooth. Recently, the club also discussed stroke and cardiac fitness, nutrition and lifestyle, and diet and behavior modification. Wa-Rite provides a nonjudgmental, supportive environment with shared information, accountability, experiences and whimsy as the club members work toward their goal of making the most of their golden years healthy and fit.

Members range from those maintaining their ideal weight to working toward that goal. Women interested in improving their weight and health, gaining more energy and some light-hearted camaraderie are welcome.

The club meets every Friday in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins are from 9:15-9:45 a.m. The meeting is from 10-11 a.m. Those interested can stop by during the meeting and learn more about the club up to three times at no charge.

The annual membership fee $10. Weekly dues are 10 cents.
