The week after midpoint weigh-ins tends to be a down week for many, most teams managed to lose a few pounds this week which is better than the alternative.

The participants had a chance to do a grocery store visit this week.  They toured the store and really focused on staying on the perimeter of the store to do most of the shopping.  The middle aisles tend to be the trouble spots for many.  If you have  to get items from the middle aisles there are healthy, lower calorie alternatives.  We also looked at food labels of similar products to show how misleading advertising can be.  The group shared experiences with using certain products such as the difference between mayonnaise, light mayonnaise, and fat free mayonnaise as an example.  The store visit hits home the idea of having a plan as you enter the store and not just grabbing items.

To date 196 pounds has been lost by the group.  Final Countdown continues to lead the way with over 50 pounds lost.  Congratulations goes out to Dream Girlz and Getting Fit who surpassed the 30 pound weight loss mark.  Final Countdown took home weekly prize of most visits to Precision Fitness to exercise since the contest started.
