Catoosa Curves Weight loss

We started a Weight Loss Class January 13th. We had several women there who decided to start the year out right with losing some weight. Mary, Lorna and I pitched in and taught the classes. We talked on the Curves Weight Management, Emotional eating, Eating out, Smart Shopping, and the different phases of weight management. After 6 weeks our top loser was Sharon Stonehocker! She lost a total of 12.5 lbs and 7 inches. Great Job Sharon!! We have several other ladies who have done great losing weight who werent involved with the class too. We have a few gals doing Weight Watchers and others simply cutting back.Look what a Terrific job they have done!!
Amanda - 6lbs
Anita-17lbs and 16"
Jane R.-8lbs
Jane T- 4.5 lbs
DeDe- 9lbs
Kristen-8.5lbs and 4"
Lynette-5.5lbs and 4.5"
After being told I was inches from having type 2 Diabetes in October, I told my doctor to let me try to lose weight. I have been doing Weight Watchers since then and I have lost 40 lbs. I am rewarding myself with things like manicures and pedicures. I did buy a new Easter blouse to wear to church( in a smaller size).I will be getting a pedcure when hit 50 lbs. I am ready for that! For 75 lbs I may buy myself a tanning session or 2. Make small goals for yourself and reward yourself for doing a great job.
We are all in this together, and we all have different goals for ourselves. If we keep on pressing toward our goals we can get there! Keep up the great losses and let me know if anyone else needs to be added to our list of losers! Great Job!!

Have a blessed week!

Spring Break with the kids!

The kids have been so good this week and are begging to go eat fast food. Here is the plan...”It's okay. This is a great opportunity to get the kids what they want but to set some healthy standards at the same time. Some days you'll be okay with getting the salad, but let's face it, some days the sirens sing to you from the grease vats. If you must go for the grease, do it in moderation. Think small. You may think you need the super-duper double-dripping, cheese-screaming, construction worker burger. Don't do it. Make yourself a deal. Start with a regular hamburger (or cheeseburger if you must). If you don't feel satisfied, go back for a second one. Odds are you'll be fine with the smaller portion. Better yet, get a side salad with your burger to really get filled up. If you're thinking, "what about the fries?" Sorry, but you can never have fries again. Just kidding! put away the gun. Here's a good approach: let the kids order their meals, but instead of fries, hopefully the fast food establishment you've chosen offers some healthy options. Let the kids get their burgers or nuggets, but coax them to get the fruit or salad instead of fries, and milk instead of soda, then get one order of fries for everyone to share. Crisis averted! Arteries clean and clear.
