Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session

that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another

good work ladies and gentlemen
Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session
as well for continued support from the group of friends
that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

good work ladies and gentlemen
Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session
as well for continued support from the group of friends
that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-

good work ladies and gentlemen
Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session
as well for continued support from the group of friends
that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session
as well for continued support from the group of friends
that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session
as well for continued support from the group of friends
that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

good work ladies and gentlemen
Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session

that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-

Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session

that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session
as well for continued support from the group of friends
that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

Winning in Youth Sports When it comes to youth sports winning is an important component of the whole process Both players and teams are obligated to play to win since that is the essence of competition However winning is not every-thing The problem with winning occurs when it starts to compromise more important ideals When winning becomes the only objective all of the other values of youth sports participation are lost Think about it

Local resident Stephanie Crisler has been with the
Biggest Loser program from the beginning in Janu-
ary 2011 and notes the positive difference it has
made in her life ―The group exercise classes offered at the Wellington Rec-
reation Center are the reason for my success in losing
weight I donlsquot push myself hard when I exercise by my-
self at home But in a classroom with others I will fight to
the last drop of sweat to do more push ups
Stephanie joined the Biggest Loser to lose weight that
was her only goal in January when it started ―Now the
weight is not as important to me What I love about the
Biggest Loser is the camaraderie and encouragement we
get from one another
Deb Murphy the instructor goes above and beyond for all
participants free fitness training instruction on eating
healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise
handouts loads of POSITIVE attitude and months of sup-
port training and encouragement
All this for $22 I am so thankful that the WRC is of-
fering this to its residents I plan to join the next session
as well for continued support from the group of friends
that I have made in The Biggest Loser group

Winning in Youth Sports When it comes to youth sports winning is an important component of the whole process Both players and teams are obligated to play to win since that is the essence of competition However winning is not every-thing The problem with winning occurs when it starts to compromise more important ideals When winning becomes the only objective all of the other values of youth sports participation are lost Think about it
