TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church, 1300 S Summer St, El Dorado Springs, Mo on Thursday January 28, 2021 for their weekly weigh in and meeting.

We now have the sign in sheet and scales down stairs  where there is more room to distance.

Linda Hall, Co leader called the meeting to order.

Linda C led us in singing “TOPS People.”

We said our TOPS and KOPS pledges.

Linda H led us in roll call.  Twelve members weighed in the chapter had a 1.4 net loss.  Best loser for the week was Laura with a 1.8 loss, congratulations Laura!

Jean presented the program this week. She spoke on the things she learned in her 15 years of being a KOPS.  (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly). Number 1 thing is you cannot go back to old habits the day you reach your goal weight.  Number 2 it is harder to keep the pounds off than it is to get them off. The good news: it can be done just continue with the habits you learned in losing the weight.

Laura reported on the contest. Let’s strive to get all the bingo card blanks filled in.

Marble Game: Sue C won the right to draw but did not get the winning one.

New business: Sue said she has $28 in the jar for the Church donation and since we met at two different churches this past year how should we handle this. We donate $20 per month to the church we meet at; this amount is extra donations from the members collected during the year. Robbie made a motion we donate this money to the Methodist Church and round it up to $30. Warren 2nd motion and motion carried.

Linda mentioned SRD (State Recognition Days) will be coming up in April on the 23 and 24 hopefully. We do have rooms reserved for this event. It will be held in Independence this year.

Linda noted Pam L will celebrate a birthday on the 30th.

Susan and Tom celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary last week.

Thought for the day. “push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you”

We adjourned with our Motto “IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME”
