PRESIDENTS NOTES Hello, here we are with March nearly over and soon it will be Easter. We are looking forward to seeing as many members as possible at our 2018 Slimmer of the Year The committee will work hard to make it a great day for all. Lunch is still only $30. It is impossible for Federation to refund any monies because once we get numbers the caterers are paid -so if due to circumstances you find a member has paid and cannot attend then it is up to the member or their club to get a replacement. The weather has been very hot and sticky so I bet we are looking forward to cooler times. It is not good for walking when it is so hot. I hope the weight losses in your club are going well for 2018. Remember small goals 300/500 grams weekly, if you are having trouble then a food diary each day works wonders. Also the 5/2 plan works! Our club has been going for 11 years and 2017 was the only year we did not have ANY graduates BUT started 2018 with 4 –it is very rewarding when we see our members reach their goal weight. Details will be in every newsletter until October for our 50th birthday and we would like to see as many members help us celebrate as possible. This is such a milestone for federation, especially as there are so many weight loss programmes around. So please make sure you all celebrate with us. See you at the Slimmer of the Year. Happy Easter Aileen
CANNINGTON WEIGHT WATCHERS We at Cannington have had a bad start to the year after returning from Christmas break with a very big gain with weight for the club. But we are turning it around with some great losses. We are currently at a total of 35.7kilos loss for the club. (After subtracting the gains from the losses) We have just celebrated a party with our newest graduate: Maria Terandetti Maria has lost a total of 11 kilos on her weight loss journey. Maria has been eating better meals & exercising in the pool regularly. Maria is very encouraging to our fellow members and we wish her well on her journey. Congratulations Maria from David & the Cannington club. This brings our club to a total of 10 current graduates. We are very proud of them all. Cheryl Capelli, Margaret Mitchell, Stella Kessey, Totti Sandy, Shirley Cirello, Carol Jackson ,Irene Lyon, Jenny Kleuznik, Ce Oxley, & Maria Terandetti They all set wonderful examples for us to follow well done to you all . We also have a KIW: Helena Gladwell. This lady is amazing. She always makes us smile & have a laugh. Thank you &congratulations Helena on reaching your goal weight. We are very proud of your efforts every week. Our Achiever of the month for February was won by: Gwen Taylor 2.9kilos. Well done Gwen that’s awesome. We also had 3 other great losses in February: Linda Munro lost 2.7kgs Debbie Gerstorfer lost 2.1kilos Kathy Bartlet lost 2kilos What a fantastic effort from these amazing ladies. Well done. Our Apple tree winner after 8 weeks: was Linda Munro. David has asked all the members to set realistic goals for themselves month by month.
REASONS WHY WE FAIL!
1. Take on too much (set to higher goals)
2. Being Unrealistic
3. Not allowing enough time to reach goals
4. Not persevering
DON’T GIVE UP!
If you fail!
Keep trying!
It’s No Big Deal…
We also had an inspirational talk from our own member Linda Munro.
Linda spoke of her weight loss journey with her many trials & tribulations.
Linda won the slimmer of the year at one time but unfortunately life is full of
obstacles that change our lives and make our journey one with things that are
not in our control and affect our wellbeing & our health.
Linda explained that she continues to make healthy life style changes, she keeps
her daily food diary, goes to the gym at 5:30am regularly and works out 20 mins
treadmill and does weights.
Linda’s main message to us was that we should always pick ourselves up &
NEVER GIVE UP!
Thank you Linda, for being a very important member in our family (club).
We at Cannington wish you all well and look forward to seeing you at the SOY
get together,
Good luck to all the wonderful entrants.

SWAN BASSENDEAN COMMUNITY WEIGHT LOSS GROUP
Congratulations to June who is our Slimmer of the
Year. June has been a member of Weight Watchers
for over 46 years and this is the first time she has been
Slimmer of the Year.
For her effort June was awarded a Trophy, $50
and her name put on the SBCWLG perpetual
trophy. These trophies has gone everywhere
with June (including to her doctor’s appointment,
who was very pleased with her progress).
As a group we have been very busy. Our topics
for discussions so far this year have been:
1. Getting started again
2. Eating for good health
3. Breaking unhelpful habits
4. Sharing your favourite healthy snack recipes.
We have also had a local Yoga teacher Rachel Vai from www.vaiyoga.com.au
come and teach us CHAIR YOGA which was a fun session.
As a group we emptied the marble jar (300 marbles representing a 30 kilo lost
for the group) a couple of weeks ago so we celebrated by holding our next
meeting at the DOME café in Bassendean with the group shouting everyone a
free drink.

graduate badges. They were:-

CHERYLE OVERTON who joined in 2016 and has lost 20.8
JENNIFER BRADFORD who joined in 2017 and lost 11.9
BEV COOKE who joined in 2017 and lost 8.2
Those four combined losses are 76.1
What an achievement for them and our club.
CONGRATULATIONS from all of us.

Get well
To all members who are or have been unwell or recovering from operations –
we wish you a speedy recovery.
From the federation committee
SUNSHINE SLIMMERS GERALDTON
Hello to everyone from sunny Geraldton.
We have definitely had our fair share of extremely hot weather these past few
weeks. Here we were all saying that it hasn’t been a hot summer at all, but this
heat and terrible humidity has taken its toll on us. Unfortunately we also have
terrible wind to contend with here as well, but don’t get me started on that
subject. Luckily the past couple of days have been nicer, preparing us for the
end of the week when the thermometer is rising again.
We had a successful bring and buy going towards our cancer
morning tea and raised $130.00.
We have also started our $50.00 raffle as well.
Our Slimmer of The Year was announced and Christine Southcott was our
winner with a loss of 9.8 kilos and our runner up was Marlene Coombs with a
loss of 8.1 kilos. Congratulations to these lovely ladies.
I must say that as a “FAIRLY “ new member here, only 12 months, we have a
wonderful group of ladies that we have some great laughs with and we share so
many stories about family and friends. We also have a magnificent President in
Marilyn Chester. She is a very caring person but also makes us laugh every
week.
Geraldton as a port has been very busy with a number of cruise ships arriving
which is great for the economy.
That’s it for today ladies.
Until next time stay well.
Regards Pat Underwood

It has been awhile since we have sent any of our news so I have doubled up this
month:-
We hosted another presentation at
Sovereign Hill on the 14th February from
Silver Chain.
Again this was very well attended. Lots of
question were asked and answered by Nina
and Monique who do travel extensively to
many towns in the Wheatbelt.
Silver Chain has been in the Gingin area for a number of years and of course
things have changed, some good some not so good. There are a couple of good
changes in the pipeline, but of course it always takes a lot of time and effort.
For the people who were not able to attend, Nina advised the first contact for
information and assistance should be to phone 1300 650 803. Although we are
only 1hr from Joondalup we do not have all the services available to us. So we
are using Weight Watchers as a forum to invite various health oriented
organizations. This is not just for WW’s members but for the all the
communities here.
One of the subjects Nina did touch on was the social aspect of people’s
wellbeing. At Weight Watchers we do try to bring a social atmosphere into our
meetings. It is not JUST about losing weight, we all know what we should or
should not eat too much of. For the members that attend regularly it is, I
believe, time spent with like-minded people, who do challenge themselves and
receive encouragement from each other.
MRWW’s celebrated their 23rd Birthday on the 28th
February with a lovely breakfast at the Yanchep Café &
Gourmet Deli, 4 Village Row. With our members and invited
guests there were 20 people who had nothing but praise for
the food and services. The tables looked so nice with small
vases of flowers from one of our members.We now have 2 more new members who I believed enjoyed the company as
much as the food and did attend out next meeting. We did have two lovely pot
plants as door prizes and at the close of the day all 20 people received a
Gerbera plant in a small decorated pot.
On the day, Dot Branch was again crowned Princess of the
month for the most weight loss…one more month and she
will be crowned Queen. Dot started MRWW’s 24yrs ago
and at this breakfast she read the hand written first
minutes. She had quite a long break but is now back and
doing so well.
Our next outing, when the weather gets a bit cooler, is to
Benara Nursery. We had planned to go last week but as it
was the hottest day this summer we decided to postpone.
“Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble
the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise and encouragement
– and we will make the goal”.

MRWW PresidentBYFORD DAYTIME WEIGHT WATCHERS The summer is still holding on, I think that March can be one of the most uncomfortable months of the year. Still it won’t be long and we will be complaining about the winter. Wendy has reached her Goal weight and is now a keeper in waiting. Gloria lost 24.9 kg to be our entrant in the Slimmer of the year. Lidia came 1st in the Grads Peg Board competition with Margie and Brenda equal 2nd. Queen Heather lost 2 kg to win our Queen of the Month with Princesses Gloria and Karen losing 1.9 kg for 2nd place in the main group. In the Grads, Queen Margie varied by 0.2 kg to win from Princesses Brenda, Lyn and Lidia who all varied by 0.3 to share 2nd place. Marg L won the Apple Tree in the Main group and most of the Grads shared their prize. Congratulations to all our winners. Earlier this month we had a very interesting talk by Caitlan Warren a dietitian from the Juniper Community about “Super Foods”.

BELMONT WEIGHT WATCHERS
February is a short month so this will be a short update. I’ll start by
congratulating Linda A. who is our Slimmer of the Year with an 11 kilo loss. Linda
only joined last year and has done really well in such a short time.
Also doing well are Ros T-B, Linda C, Annie and Shirley who all received daisies
for their 4-week weight loss, and our Grad of the Month Jean H. Well done and
keep up the good work!
We celebrated the birthdays of Ros T-B, Bev and Sandra.
Belmont members have long had a tradition of brining in unwanted books,
magazines and clothing for other members to take if they want. Member Terry
suggested that we formalise this and after discussion everyone agreed the club
would have a “market day” once a month. People could help themselves to
these goods for gold coin donations, with half the money going to club funds
and half towards our contribution to the Cancer Foundation Biggest Morning
Tea. Meanwhile those members who had craft items could sell them with those
proceeds split between the club, the Cancer Foundation and the maker.
Our first Market Day was a huge success! Some craft
items sold out (we have some VERY talented members)
and quite a few wardrobes and libraries were expanded
for a few dollars. The club and Cancer Foundation
received much-needed funds and the crafters were
paid for their work.
Many thanks to Terry for her idea which is both practical and fun.

MaggieBUSSLETON WASPS Hello to everyone. Bit rushed this time around. Got too much to do and not enough time to fit it all in. Though to nothing dramatic to report from our little gang this month. Everyone's trying of course. Losses equal gains and I guess the fact that the "finger" of the scales is moving at all, shows determination. Heard a good one the other day---- from a friend whose aim was to stir --- she said, the heavier you are, the harder you are to kidnap! So stay safe and eat cake! It was delicious too, a double chocolate mud cake with marshmallows to decorate. It was my birthday, so that's my excuse. ! My trip to Perth for the celebration culminated in a car full of grandies from 6yrs to 15 yrs. SO noisy, and that was without the radio or CD on. One bright spark from the back seat said after I had uttered "silence is golden” in a weary way, answered back with “duct tape is silver Nandy.” Well that cracked me up but set the tone for the rest of the journey. The youngsters are quite descriptive in their own way and funny. Here's to a great month of good weights, though it will be hard with Easter in between. Happy Easter to everyone, enjoy your families and remember the scales when you reach for that hot cross bun! Regards to all, Valerie hon sec/ treasurer
Good set of SCALES If any club has a set of scales in good working condition that they don’t use, can you please contact the WWF office as another club is looking for scales as theirs has broken down. SWAN BASSENDEAN COMMUNITY WEIGHT LOSS GROUP
