Well! We are goin' in the right direction AGAIN! Linda K. showed us the way as our "Best Loser". She wants us to walk and avoid not drinking our water.
It was close to Valentine's Day so we played a quick Valentine's game and then some special guests arrived for Marcia. It seems someone sent her a Singing Valentine from the Racing City Chorus from Saratoga!
It was then on to a nice Rededication ceremony presented by Joanna
We all rededicated ourselves to our chapter and ourselves

It seems we are back on track in the new year! This week the chapter had a great loss of 14.75 pounds!
Sister Mary led the way as our "Best Loser" and told us to exercise and watch out for those nasty carbs.
The annual Rededication will be held next week (Feb. 12th)
Our special guest speaker was Michelle Brennon from Lifeline Screening, a preventative stroke screening service.
She gave us some useful facts such as:
Lifeline Screening will be at the Christ Community Church in Clifton Park on March 27
1-888-653-6412 for more info.
Thanks Michelle for your great program and helpful insight.

She gave us some useful facts such as:
- 80% of all strokes can be prevented
- Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death
- Face (can the person smile?)
- Arm lift (will both arms lift equally high?)
- Speech (impairment)
- Time (the quicker response, the better)

Upcoming Elections
It is that time of year when we refresh our TOPS leadership - elections.
Joanna, who has served us well as Leader, has decided that it is time for her to pass the torch. Kim will also be stepping down from her Treasurer duties. So, if anyone is interested in these posts, now is the time to take serving the chapter into serious consideration.
It is anticipated that Mary will continue as Asst. Weight Recorder. Ann will also be joining the weight room as Asst. Weight Recorder. Dawn has expressed an interest in continuing as Co-leader, and Linda would like to continue as Secretary.

The chapter registered a net loss of 4 pounds this week. Hooray!
Our best loser was Ann, who can be credited with 3.5 pounds down. This week she made an effort to get back on program and journal (wise). Her recommendation for behavior to avoid is eating too much at one sitting (unwise).
Contest Update: Ann pulled the black die and won the kitty.
Program: Due to low attendance, the Renewal Ceremony was again postponed. Instead, Joanna presented a survey, Are You Ready to Lose Weight?, which the group completed and discussed. (click image for larger version)
