Week 5 Results


Congrats to Amy Bowe for winning this week's challenge. Her prize is a brand new pillow.
Here are this week's losers.

Heather McCoy 2.10%
Matthew Bowe 1.31%
John Bowe 1.02%
Bob Worley 0.83%
Linda Bowe 0.50%
Amy Bowe 0.37%
Melissa Singleton 0.08%


Collectively, the group lost 4 lbs this week. Certainly a better show than last week. Keep it up!


A recent study http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/92/2/13-120287-ab/en/index.html suggests EACH time you eat fast food, your BMI (body mass index) is bumped up by 0.03. While I’m not convinced this warrants more government intervention to keep us from making poor dietary choices, it may be a good reason to make better choices on an individual basis. This week, instead of heading for Wendy’s, Burger King, McDonald’s or even Chick-fil-A for lunch, try brown-bagging it. Drive past the Crown Burger, Taco Bell, KFC and Sonic on your way to a home-cooked dinner. Plan ahead so you won’t have to choose between shopping for ingredients and ordering pizza delivery. Yes, I know it’s inconvenient, but it’s worth it. If you avoid fast food this entire week, your wallet and your waistline will thank you. And you can enter our drawing next Saturday.
