Happy Losers

On April 27, 2016, the weight group called The Happy Losers held their weekly meeting. Jackie Pratt, the leader, opened the meeting and welcomed members, followed by the pledge and roll call.

Ten members weighed in and eight attended the meeting. Weight loss for the week was excellent. Joan Sides was the loser of the week and Cecilia Brown and Loretta Bouchard were runners-up. Great job, ladies.

The secretary and treasurer have been on vacation, so there were no reports for the week. South Carolina was great.

Joan Sides was the loser of the months of March and April. Great job, Joanie.

The leader led the program for the week. Her topic was “Six Tips to Prevent Heart Disease.” She suggested eating flax seeds, onions and tomatoes, which help lower blood pressure, and eating eggs.

The meeting adjourned with Riva’s joke.

All are welcome to the group, which meets every Wednesday at the United Baptist Church vestry in Island Falls, with weigh-ins from 8-8:30 a.m. The meeting usually starts at 8:30.
