Welcome to W.O.W..

You made it here! Welcome. W.O.W is Word of Wisdom. We focus on healthful living and weight loss. We are here to find support and sisterhood as we wade through the attitudes and obstacles we all face. Everyone has a different plan. We don't discuss diet plans or fad schemes. We do discuss sound gospel principles found in the Word of Wisdom, prudence, thanksgiving, knowledge, and more. We will also all look "WOW" as we lose more excess weight and let more of that Light of Christ out.

How do we do it? Each week, we follow this general template:
  • we weigh in (private or public)
  • pass out award stickers for any losses and for exercising our heart
  • discuss one of our 6 Basic Principles of Health and Weight Loss (A.N.S.W.E.R)
  • issue a challenge for the week
We work very hard to be respectful of each other and keep everything confidential. Remember, What happens in W.O.W, stays in W.O.W! We are meeting every Saturday at 8am and we are out the door by 9. Melanie Johnson is our awesome coordinator. This blog is made by and for and individuals of W.O.W and our experiences that we have in the group individually.Though most of us are members of the the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this is not an official publication or website of the Church mentioned. We are not limited to our ward boundaries though and all are welcome. Won't you join us?

The article "The Body as Blessing" found at the right will give an insight into the way we go about this. Our bodies truly are blessings.

I look forward to hearing more of what you have to say, Erin. While the spiritual aspect obviously doesn't work for me, I loved your other advice. I've been trying to live by it for the most part for the last few weeks. It's been slow going, but I'm actually starting to lose a little bit! :)

Amanda! That is awesome! Keep it up, and remeber it IS slow going. Just imagine if you keep up your current rate, where will you be in two months? Imagine six months!
