TOPS 9319 meets

On this 12th day of October, Sheryl Ann called our meeting to order in the Church of Christ meeting room. We said our TOPS and KOPS’ pledges. She turned the meeting over to Kay, our song leader, who led us in the song Topsi Doodle. Marilyn then encouraged us to move by leading us in some exercises.

We had 26 weigh in this morning for our roll call. We lost 12 pounds but our net loss was just 1.6 pounds. Our best loser for the week was Sheryl Ann. She lost 4.2 pounds. We welcomed two new members this morning. It’s great to have them join with us.

Warren reported the contest started today. So far Kay is ahead, but many hadn’t turned in their information yet. Carol won the draw for the Marble Game. It surprised us all when she drew out the white marble and won the game. Her part of the money that had accumulated was $60.

Many reported on the Fall Rally that was last Saturday, Oct. 7, in Rich Hill. Seems they all enjoyed the speaker. The meal was said to be excellent and only had 500 calories. We earned $134 on the kitchen basket raffle. Next year’s Fall Rally may be in Bolivar. Perhaps this will be a little closer for us to attend.

Sheryl Ann had the program for us today. Before she started she mentioned that some wanted to share suggestions of improving our meetings and those wishing to spoke on the subject. There was also mentioned occasions of etiquette needing to be improved. Lack of knowledge about the exchange system was approached and suggestion made to have Sylvia come explain this to us in November or when she is available. More in depth programs were mentioned and having them presented early in our meeting time.

Sheryl Ann then went over the Playlist sheets we had been given. Many shared what they struggled with, shared their successes or told how their emotions played a big part in the weight loss journey. It’s always good to have such good discussions in our meetings.

We closed with the song, The More We Get Together and our motto: If it is to be it is up to me.
