Monday we had seven and new member, Anne, weighed in. Neve had the best weight loss. We had a setback this week of pounds. We will do better next week. The Two Bit Bowl of quarters went to Neve. Our Loser’s Lotto contest ended and we started a new contest.
Our chapter challenge this week is to keep a food journal. Resume’ Workshop in Claremore was announced. Four of our members will be going up there Saturday to learn more about working on end of the year weight charts. This will be Donna and Virginia’s first time going for the training. The leaders are making it fun but asking us to wear Christmas sweaters and socks. Also we are to take a $5 wrapped gift.
We also had discussion about our chapter Christmas party on the 19. We also worked on making a little bear out of washcloths and rubber bands.
Our program was entitled “Nutrition Myths Debunked.” Why is it so hard to lose weight? Over time your metabolism slows, meaning that you need fewer calories as you age. Weight gain is a protective mechanism: if you are losing weight your body thinks it is starving and will work against you to try to prevent weight loss. Time commitment: weight loss takes work. You must pay attention to how much you are eating and engage in regular exercise. Fad diets DO NOT work. Some myths are: Fad diets will work to shed weight for good; Weight loss pills will help burn calories faster; Skipping meals will help promote weight loss; Carbohydrates are fattening; Drinking cold water will make you burn calories faster. These myths are not true.
