Choose to Lose celebrates 10 years

Ten years ago, Pat Groves and Julie Logan decided to find a place to have a free weight loss support group. The Rec Center was so kind to let us use a room. 

The first week in September we had our first meeting. Soon after, several more people joined. We have a weight recorder and lessons each week. On September 11, 2026, we had our 10-year celebration party. All our former members were invited. We had a wonder time. 

I had a scrapbook with all the newspaper articles for everyone to look through. Thank you, Pickens County Progress, for putting our pictures in all these years. 

If you need to lose weight, come join us at the Pickens County Rec Center every Friday. We weigh in from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and our meeting is from 9:30 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. 

Call Pat Groves at 417-413-8025 for more information.
