Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the Lake Mary Saturday Morning Successes blog.

To those of you who might not know us, we're David and Cara Showers. We have been going to Ned's 8am class for two years, come May 12th. We've thoroughly enjoyed Ned's antics as I'm sure you all have. And we're so excited to be your co-captains for this new Weight Watchers challenge.

The reason we've started this blog is for a way to communicate with each other as we progress through the new Weight Watchers' Momentum Walk-It Challenge.

Here's where we will provide links to all the sign up pages online as well as announcements of when and where our training sessions will be. We're going to try and coordinate as many walking/running training sessions as we can. We've got a pretty large group signed up so far. There are over 30 of us. So I'm sure not everyone will be able to come to all of the training sessions, but we'll try and provide flexible locations and hours to accommodate for such a large and diverse group.

We'll send email announcements as well as posting it here of when our first training session will be.

But to get us all started on the same page, we all need to go to the Team Weight Watchers website and download your training plan. Here's the link to sign up. Scroll down to the orange number 2 and click on the "Get My Free Training Program" button:




Your online training program comes equipped with a suite of helpful training tools, including:

• Training calendar
• Daily training tip emails
• Mileage log
• Body fat, heart rate, and hydration calculators
• Customized reports to analyze and track your training

Ned has suggested that we all participate in the same 5K event. The one he chose is the 19th Annual July 4th Watermelon 5K. This link has all the details about the event. To sign up, click here. Or if you'd rather print out the registration and mail it in, you can click here (you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to print the registration form).

This event will be on Saturday morning on July 4th. Weight Watchers will be closed that day, so we should all be available, right?

We understand if there are some of you who have already made holiday plans for that weekend and won't be able to attend. That's okay, though, just pick another 5K to participate in. You can find other 5K event on Active.com (click here) as well as the Track Shack website (click here). It doesn't matter where you sign up, as long as you do.

Well, that's enough to get us all started. If you have any questions, just leave a comment below (click on the word COMMENTS below). We'll be happy to answer any questions you have.

To Team!
