Monday's Meeting - LOCATION CHANGE

Cancer Treatment Center - New location for this week’s POP meeting

Due to a water leak near the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital Conference Centers, we must change the location for the Monday, January 18 meeting.

We will have our weigh-ins, beginning at 5:00 p.m. and the program following at 6:00 p.m. in the Community Room at the Lake Cumberland Cancer Treatment Center, located at 112 Tradepark Drive, at light #8, behind Ashley Furniture.

The January 25 meeting will move back to the hospital.

This week’s program features one of our POP community partners, J. R. Smith, medical exercise specialist and owner of Fit Maxx Functional Fitness and The Wellness Clinic.  J.R.’s presentation will be "How to be an 8 Percenter." 

Psychology Today reported that, of all those that attempt to make a lifestyle change for New Year's Resolutions, 92% of them fail. But, J.R. is going to explore with us what the remaining 8% did to make their transformation successful. He declares that, with a simple, yet wise approach, you can make your New Year's Resolution one that will keep you successful all year long and put you in the 8% Success Group.

I know you will enjoy this great program!

Be sure to keep on exercising . . . and getting your trackers filled out.  And, just as Dr. Mobley said, don’t get discouraged if you slip up a bit.  Just start all over again. 

This is going to be a GREAT week for weight loss! We’ll look forward to seeing you at the Lake Cumberland Cancer Treatment Center on Monday evening! 

Hope you have a terrific weekend! J

The FINAL WEIGH-IN for Pounds Off Pulaski

MONDAY, MARCH 30

Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital

Basement Level – East Tower

(Look for directional signs)

We’ve had another great Pounds Off Pulaski year . . . thanks to you!  Now the time has come for the final weigh-in . . . and we’re all excited to see the final results! Just a few reminders:

• We will award 1^st Place and 2^nd Place male and female winners with cash prizes: $500 for first place and $300 for second place.  The winners will be individuals who have lost the highest percentage of their body weight. 
• In the event of a tie, the prize money will be divided.
• Winners must certify that they have not used diet pills, diuretics (unless prescribed for a medical condition), or laxatives (as a form of weight loss); that they have not had weight loss surgery within 1 year of the start of the challenge; and they did not have weight loss surgery during the challenge.
• 1^ST and 2^nd Place Prizes will be awarded at the Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce meeting on Tuesday, May 5, at The Center for Rural Development.  The meeting begins at noon.  Winners will be the luncheon guests of Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital.
• At Final Weigh-In, all POP participants will receive a POP T-Shirt and an insulated bag -perfect for taking to a picnic, family gathering,   or transporting  healthy foods home from the grocery. J
• Please bring any additional Exercise Trackers with you to Final Weigh-In on March 30. At that time, we will compile your POP Points and provide you with any earned incentive prizes.

Of course, everyone wants to know who the winners are – and I’ll send out an email to all POP participants after the winners have been announced.  Along with that email, I will be including a brief survey about POP.  Please take a few minutes to complete the survey so we can see what you liked . . . what you didn’t like as much . . . and what we can do to make this a better experience for you!

We’ll look forward to seeing YOU on Monday, March 30.  PLEASE BE SURE TO BRING YOUR POUNDS OFF PULASKI BOOK with you!
