Want to lose weight, get fit and join up with others to lose some weight and win some cash?  Join us for the Ridgeview Biggest Loser Challenge.
We will be starting a new Biggest loser challenge in January, 2011.

At work we follow these rules for our in-house biggest loser
RULES:
1. “HAVE FUN”, Eat healthy, and exercise.
2. The first weigh in will be on September 1st between 5:00pm-6pm
3. The final weigh in will be on December 1 at 5:00pm
4. Weigh-in’s will occur every Wednesday from 5-6pm
5. There is a $10 registration fee which “MUST” be paid during your first weigh in.
6. (You can Join at any time during the first three weeks but the longer you wait the harder it will be to win)
7. All money owed to the pot should be paid during the time of weigh in or prior to the following weigh in.(So if you have a bad week, be prepared break out the spare change)
8. There will be a $1 weigh in fee per week applied to all contestants.
9. There will be a penalty fee of $1 applied if your weight stays the same.
10. There will be a penalty fee of $1 if you miss weighing in. This dollar will be combined with the weekly weigh in fee of $1, for a total of $2 dollars each time you miss a weigh in.
11. There will be a penalty fee of $1 added for each pound gained. (i.e. Gain 3 pounds, you owe $3)
12. Only weights recorded on the set scale on Wednesdays will be reconginized. (You will not be able to submit your weight via e-mail or after the fact. So unless you are sick, have made other weigh in arrangments or cannot make it in due to weather, a $2 penalty will be applied.)
13. The winner will be the person who loses the largest percentage of body weight. (start at 200 pounds and lose 10 pounds and you have lost 5%)…[(Start weight - Finish Weight) X 100 / Start weight = percentage lost.]
14. A percentage of the pot will be used to pay second place (10 percent) and the winner will receive the rest! :) (Just in time for Christmas)
15. “Challenge your friends and LOSE WEIGHT”
16. Each week we will also highlight the “biggest loser” for the week and that person will of course have bragging rights for a week!
*I will send out a weekly email with encouragement and some healthy recipes!

Disclaimer: ONLY the person in charge of the weighing will see your weight and your weight loss.  These numbers will be totally confidential!

Several people from RBC went on a missions trip to Alabama to help with Hurricane Katrina cleanup and do other service projects.  It was an amazing time and God is working through those experiences to change some lives.

Below is a video of the trip and a link to Sunday’s sharing time.

Marriage Team

July 10, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Marriage Coaching Training (for couples who either want to be coaches or who want to simply strengthen their marriage).  Two weekend training on marriage coaching for the weekends of Sept 24-26 and October 2 and 3 of 2010 (25 hours total)  It would be Friday night, Saturday most of the day, and Sunday afternoon on Sept 24-26 as well as Saturday most of the day and Sunday afternoon Oct 2 and 3.  Details at the end.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Mentoring is similar to coaching. A mentor serves as a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. In business, mentors help their proteges to become wise like they are. Coaching involves teaching skills and helping others improve their performance or achieve the results they desire. Marriage coaches help other couples work out their unique relationship to achieve the results that they desire from their marriage. Many studies have proven the value of an experienced coach or mentor (coaching and mentoring studies). Before our society became so mobile, families often lived close enough where wives and husbands could seek coaching from respected senior family members.
Today there are numerous approaches that couples try to improve their marriage. There are self help books, friends, counselors, weekend retreats, and the old favorite, nagging. While each has its advantages and disadvantages, there are many failures as evidenced by our divorce rate. Why is that?

We believe the answer is straightforward. We receive little training in interpersonal communications and many of the examples that we grew up around were not healthy. Consequently, we never learned effective methods of communication. When poor communication skills are coupled with unhealthy ideas about marriage roles and responsibilities and unexpressed expectations that we have for our spouse, it should be little wonder that marriages are experiencing difficulty.

Changing our thinking and behavior is difficult and long-term change is unlikely to occur from a single conversation or weekend retreat. Couple coaching as presented by MarriageTeam provides several features that promote long-term change and growth:

  • Learning improved interpersonal communication and problem solving skills that are practiced for several weeks and incorporated into daily use
  • Supportive environment for effective communication and exploring issues
  • Exercises to explore “hidden” issues with practical approaches for resolution
  • New insight into many of the issues causing stress in the marriage
  • Different paradigms for looking at the marriage relationship
  • Accountability with the coach couple for implementing agreements

We have seen how coach couples can come along side other couples with skill building materials to create stronger marriages. This provides an excellent outreach opportunity to the community where couples can come and improve their relationship.

Who knew Bible study and worship could be so much fun!

Beth Moore’s life-transforming Bible study challenges and inspires women of every age, everywhere. Joining Beth at this weekend event is acclaimed worship leader Travis Cottrell and the Praise Team.

Beth’s focus will be on the Scripture that God lays on her heart for each individual Living Proof Live event — no two are the same. As she explores the Bible and how it applies to real life, you’ll be amazed by her own experiences as a believer, and you’ll be inspired to magnify and strengthen your own relationship with God.

Beth’s mission is to guide women everywhere into a richer, more fulfilling relationship with the Father. She is a woman of purpose, preparation, prayer and passion. It’s apparent in everything she does, from teaching Sunday School at her home church to sharing her biblical insights and observations in her Bible studies and books.

Each Living Proof Live event is scheduled for Friday, 7:00 - 9:30 p.m., and Saturday, 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (except for the Living Proof Live simulcast event). All seats are general admission, select “details” links in Dates and Locations listing to see ticket prices.

Bring your friends and we’ll see you at Living Proof Live — a fun-filled Bible study, teaching, and worship experience to enrich your mind, soul, and spirit!
