Members lose 27 pounds in a week

WA-RITE

Wa-Rite is a female-only club that meets on Fridays from 9-10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Weigh-ins are from 8-8:45. Dues are $ 10 a year, plus 10 cents upon signing in. LW ID cards must be shown. For support on a weight-loss journey, women are welcome to stop by at 8:15 to weigh in and complete the registration paperwork.

May 29, the last Friday of the month, was the clubs share day. Wa-Rite s recordkeeper Darken Gardner reported that members lost an impressive 27.5 pounds in the past week. The biggest loser was Karen Green with a 4-pound loss. Green said she rode her bike more often and learned how to say “no” when her boyfriend oifered her ice cream.

In honor of share day, almost all 30 club members spoke about how much they appreciate having each others back, giving and receiving feedback and encouragement, and spending time together every Friday. They agreed that losing weight is easier with each others help and support.

The weekly food for thought was: “Self-discipline is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets.”
