PAGE SIX BY JOAN KINGSBURY This week the quest to lose weight continues, with Bertha Supulski and her daughter, Bert Quadrini, telling our readers, how, between them both, they managed to shed 118Y4 pounds. Last year, after the Christmas holidays, both Bertha and Bert decided they would like to lose weight. Having heard about Weight Watchers, Bertha suggested they both join. They attended their first class, Feb. 10, and now, not a year later, Bertha has lost 50 pounds and has been on the maintenance program for the past 14 weeks, while Bert has lost 68Y4 pounds. Both are lifetime mem- bers and couldn’t be happier about it. Both agreed that at first there seemed to be a lot to learn but once a Weight Watchers’ member learns the program, the diet is easy to follow. Bertha was a real ‘‘butter lover’ but learned to enjoy Weight Watchers margarine. Both Bert and Bertha enjoyed the Weight Watchers ice cream popsicles, bread and pizza while losing. A member is not required to purchase the Weight Watchers brands but the various frozen foods and items are delicious and and all are made in servings which are f‘legal’’ on the program. The meetings were very supportive, somewhere to discuss any problem foods or any dieting difficulties encountered during the week. For Bert the meetings were the best part. In fact, she has never missed a meeting in the time she has been attending Weight Wat- chers. Both feel the lec- turer, Myrtle Karl, is a great help with her advice and encouragement. At each weekly meeting, a member is weighed privately. Following weigh-in, a lecture using modules or suggestions for weight loss is given. Members must eat all foods on the daily food plan, and according to Bertha and Bert there is plenty to eat. Bertha has worked with food for many years. After working in the Dallas School cafeteria for 20 years, she now operates the summer camp kitchen at the Jewish Community Center as well as preparing any luncheons, breakfasts or private parties they may have there. Bertha and her husband, Ernest, live in Dallas. An electrician, Ernest is working for Brennan Electric Com- pany at Nesbitt Memorial Hospital. The Supulskis have five children, Ernest L. who lives in Chantilly, Va. with his wife, Diane, and their two children, Scott and Christina. He is a guidance counselor for Fairfax County. Roy, who lives in Dallas, Texas, manages Video Concepts. He has two daughters, Heather and Erin. Cindy, married to Carl Siglin, Jr. lives in Noxen. The Siglins have two children, Kelly and Peggy. Cindy works in a sewing factory while Carl works with his dad in car repair. Bert and her husband, Joe, live in Valley View Trailer Park.
