We have a winner!

Hello Ladies:

 

I just wanted to say thank you for participating in our weight loss challenge and at this time I would like to announce that we almost had two winners.  Actually, three people reached their 10 pound goal on time.  One member was behind and caught up by reaching her 10 pound goal.  She has dropped in clothe size from a size 16 to a size 6!!!  Congratulations to Shelley for reaching her goal. She was not able to make it to the morning meeting but I met with her in the evening and she still reached her goal (usually we weigh more in the evening by at least 3 pounds).

 

Congratulations to Brandy also.  She went from 162 pounds (after delivering her new baby on Dec.2004) down to 146 pounds!!!.  She is watching her refined sugars and is exercising 3-4 X a week at Curves for Women.  The winner of the challenge was Kayla.  She went down from 185 pounds down to 168 and is now wearing size 8-9!!! She is 18 years old and has weighed 185 since the age of 12!  She is so excited because she starts college this year and she feels so much better and healthier.  Her goal is to lose another 16 pounds before she starts school.  She does not have a lot of time to exercise due to work and school schedule but she has giving up all soda pop and sweets!  

 

Congratulations to Carol Cuff also.  She wanted to lose 10 pounds when she initially started healthymoms with a mission to get healthy and she reached her goal yesterday!!  She is a great inspiration to us all because she is over 40 and she is not allowing that to keep her from reaching her goals.  

 

Everyone that participated in the challenge is a winner because they had the courage to acknowledge that they need to do something about their  weight level and regardless of the how many pounds were lost in the end.  Admitting and recognizing that is important for you and your family to be  healthier is the first step on reaching your goals.  The second important step is putting a plan together that is reasonable and sticking to it until you reach your ultimate goal (no matter if it takes one or two years) but you do need to be constantly working on reaching your goals so that you can reach your ultimate goal and not lose focus.  It's your health and what you do with it now will determine a lot later!

 

I will continue to aim for a healthier lifestyle and I hope that you do the same. 

 

Thank you for your time and commitment!

 

Love,

 

Angie
