Wa-Rite is a female-only club ….

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. On Sept. 25, members learned that the club lost 27 pounds. Julie Cisneros and Marcia Larson shared the top loser title with a 3-pound loss each. Cisneros said she kept herself busy and out of the house. Larson cut down on her portions and snacked less. A handful of grapes was her go-to snack.

The Sept. 25 meeting was the club’s share day. Members shared helpful weight loss tips, a coyote encounter story and even grief over loss of a loved one. Wa-Rite is not just a weight loss support group; it is a place of sisterhood where women support and care about each other.

The weekly food for thought was: “Give yourself permission to root for yourself and while you’re at it, root for those around you too.”
