Call To Order of Meeting
Friday, July 27, 2007

The meeting was called to order at 7:30 PM.

Present: Mrs. Pee, Carlos, Quishana and Brandy
Present via telephone: Nicole

Absenses: None

Weekly Progess Reports:

These will begin again next week. We completed final weigh in for session 1. Brandy (that’s me) had the biggest weight loss this time around.

New Business:

We have 5 new members for the 2nd session of the program. Healthy Hopefuls would like to welcome David, Van, Joanie, Carol and Eugene (please forgive me if any of the spellings are incorrect). We look forward to having you part of our team.

• Quishana will remain treasurer and Brandy has been named as secretary.
• Mrs. Pee recorded all members’ current weight so that we can better track each member’s progress. We started collecting membership dues of $8 per person for the 2nd session. This money is due on next Friday, August 3rd. Please turn the money into our treasurer, Quishana. Out-of-towners: you may mail or submit your money to your friends or family members to turn in on your behalf.
• Instead of striving towards 10% of our body weight this 8 weeks, we have decided that our individual goals will be 2 pounds per week.
• We received information from the Trim Body System from Mrs. Pee that had a great 10 minute exercise plan. If any of our out-of-towners are interested, please e-mail me at nblack@triad.rr.com and I will scan and send you a copy of this information.
• Do you have a great low-fat recipe? Have great news? Have a problem? Stressed? Or just want to write or provide information? Share it on the blog.
• This week Carlos’s goal is to find and bring in articles about obesity.
  
  Old Business:
  
• We will continue to add inspirational quotes and stress relievers to the blog.
  Drink at least 8 cups of water a day (total 64 ounces). You should also drink another 8 ounces (1 cup) of water for every 25 pounds that you are over your weight goal. And don’t forget if you are exercising (which you should be) you need to stay hydrated.
• Be sure to continue to keep track of your weight, water and exercise throughout the week. You should also keep a food journal to help you stay accountable for what you eat.
• Choose a free day out of the week that you can take a break and maybe go out to eat or just skip the daily walk.

Again….welcome to our new members. Let’s get this 8 weeks started off right. Have a wonderful week!
