News of the week

By Billie Anthony

Monday we had 11 members weigh in with Lynda having the best weight loss of 4.2 pounds. Way to go Lynda! Keep up the great work! Jerry’s name was drawn from the Two Bit Bowl but she had a slight gain this week. Keep on trying, we believe in you! Lynda had the most per cent loss this week for the contest Shirley started with last week’s weight loss. Four of our ladies got to sign the Loser’s Lotto contest and four star stickers were taken off of the Surprise Box.
