The Wa-Rite Club celebrated Halloween, weight loss success and a birthday

Wa-Rite is a female-only club that meets on Friday mornings from 9-10 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. Women who want support on their weight-loss journey and to meet like-minded people are welcome to stop by no later than 8:45 to weigh in and complete the registration paperwork. Since Wa-Rite’s Oct. 31 meeting coincided with Halloween, it was a fun experience for all attendees. Members lost a total 11 pounds for the week. Jeanette Williams was named the biggest loser with a 3-pound loss. She said that she gained weight on her vacation, and then lost it all plus some when she returned home and caught a cold. In addition to celebrating Halloween, the club also acknowledged Ellen Larsen’s 90th birthday.

The weekly food for thought was: “Beware of Halloween candy, don’t let one night turn into one week. Trick or treat?”
