SHAPES - THE HUMAN AND MATH VARIETIES

Human - I just have to say that I'm so impressed with some ladies I know. Over the last year-ish (closer to two for some of them) I've seen these folks go from round to narrow ... or at least less round. They've lost 40 to 100 pounds. Amazing! I'm happy they finally like how they feel and am so impressed with their self-discipline and perseverance.

How did they do it? Oh, it varies. Some basic "eat less, move more", Weight Watchers (one of the 100 lb. losses & she continues to go to meetings to encourage everyone else), Take Shape For Life/MediFast (another 100 lb. loss and she's now working as a health coach for the company), C25K, and other things. They've all just figured out what works for them and stuck with it.

So, Laura, Tammy, Pam, Kristen, Susan, Tiffany, Kelly, and anyone I'm forgetting at the moment ... good job!!

Math - Check out these poems that Beep and Daisy wrote during school the other day. They crack me up! Feel free to use them to lighten up math time at your house.

Rectangle got butted by a ram
And now he's a parallelogram

Headless triangle gets annoyed
When everyone calls him trapezoid

A square that gets caught in a wind gust
Directly turns into a rhombus

Rectangular prism gets the blues
When people use him as a box for shoes

Thanks for acknowledging us! And congratualtions to Laura,Tammy,Kristen, Kelly and anyone else who is learning to live healhty! As much fun as it is to go from a size 20 ,which I had been for a majority of my adult life, to a size 2 ( I actually weigh less than the day I graduated from high school!), it is way more fun to be this healthy and now to help others get healthy too. Thanks again for acknowledging us.
