Laura Hicks, Leader, called the meeting to order.

Pam led us in singing “Halloween Song.”

We said our TOPS & KOPS Pledges

Marilyn had the program today; she shared the miracle weight loss Halloween spell for weight loss. She read a story about a witch sharing her weight loss spell. To do this you will need to:

1.    Make water your best friend

2.    Eat veggies every day

3.    Eat veggies from the rainbow (bright colors, purple, red, green yellow)

4.    Small portions of meat only use as a seasoning, not the main dish

5.    Watch the amount of pasta and bread

6.    Eat beans!

7.    Remember sugar is on the no-no list

Marilyn ended her program by leading us in a few stretches and exercises.

Thank you, Marilyn, for a great program and for the exercise.
