Learn weight loss tips with Wa-Rite every Friday in CH 3

Wa-Rite Club members lost a total of 17 pounds the week ending Sept. 15. Denise Stabile earned a top loser title by losing 4 pounds. She attributed her achievement to the panic of backsliding the week before, which was also a topic of the presentation that week. Backsliding, or regaining lost weight, is a frustrating issue many people struggle with when trying to lose weight.

One member spoke of the weight loss struggles that many can relate to, from losing discipline and faith in yourself to making decisions that can trigger old patterns allowing the weight to come back. She postulated that the fight to stay healthy happens as much in people’s heads as in their bodies.

The club also discussed collecting and sharing recipes and products that individual members have favored over the years.

Women interested in better health, more energy and some light-hearted camaraderie are enthusiastically welcome to attend up to three meetings for free before joining.

Wa-Rite meets every Friday in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins are from 8:15-8:45 a.m. The meetings are from 9-10 a.m. Annual membership fee is $10. Weekly dues are 10 cents.
