Guest Speaker:

Betty Ballantyne introduced our guest speaker, Paul Phelps.

Paul moved to Laconia in 1952 from Rutland, Vermont. His family established Tower Wayside Furniture on Union Ave. (now Harris Furniture). After graduating college, he returned to teach school. Besides teaching school, he coached football for 25 years as well as track and field. He served as Asst. Principal at Memorial Middle School. He retired after 38 years in the Laconia School system. Today he works part time at Cantin Chevrolet.

Paul is a participant and coach in TAKE SHAPE FOR LIFE, which effectively partners with Metafast, a dietary plan that works. Metafast was developed by Johns Hopkins and is now marketed as a weight loss and life management program. Paul is in the coaching business, and has experienced a top weight of 425 pounds, and now weights 214 lbs. He has weighed 214 lbs.for a few years now due to the management piece. Some scary stats include 45% of the USA is currently obese, and a Baylor University study predicts that by 2030, 90% of Americans will be obese. Paul did not pitch a product, but offered help for anyone who wishes to Take Shape For Life.
