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

participants free fitness training instruction on eating

healthy copies of the Biggest Loser recipes and exercise

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

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-

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

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

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

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

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

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
