LA CENTER, Wash. (AP) — Karla Edwards of La Center still dreads stepping onto the scale, even though the number she sees represents progress.
The 47-year-old woman lost 30 pounds during the past year. Her desire to lose weight started after persistent health problems. A 12-week community weight loss challenge provided her with motivation.
Edwards and her daughter, Chante, 23, plan to be in attendance when the second annual La Center weight-loss challenge begins Saturday.
The program has already made a difference in the lives of dozens of La Center’s adults and youth.
