There are eight TOPS within 20 pounds to goal. They are; Rachael, Linda C, Sue, LJ, Sheryl, Margie, Judy B and Judy D reached her goal last week.
Total losses for April were 43.6, gains were 42.2 giving us a net loss of 1.4.
Thank you, Linda, for doing what you do best and love doing.
Warren presented an idea for a new contest:
“Quick & Easy” This contest would run for eight weeks and have a $2 entry fee.
Rules are simple: Weigh-in each week and lose each week. The one with the most losses at the end of eight weeks is the winner. In case of a tie, the one that lost the most weight will be the winner.
KOPS would have a separate contest; they would have to be under goal each week for 8 weeks.
Jan made a motion to do this contest, Linda Hall 2nd, motion carried.
Members who attended SRD reported a good time. We were impressed with the Gladstone Chapter as they had a 24.73 loss per member. Carol pointed out to us we only had just under two pounds per member this year. We can do better.
SRD next year will be April 26-27, again at the Oasis Convention Center. The theme will be At the Hop. Members will be digging out their poodle skirts and preparing to “Rock around the Clock.”
Each chapter is to make a 12” square for a quilt. Marie is getting ideas for this.
With no other business meeting was adjourned with our motto “IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME”.
It’s weight loss, done right.
