Sixteen members weighed in today. We had a 9.2 gain and a 2.2 loss giving us a 7.0 net gain! Best loser of the week was Pat with a loss of 1 pound. Congratulations Pat!
Today we celebrate our members who have had success this past year in their weight loss journey. Our weight recorders Marilyn and Carol put together a program to honor our members’ weight loss success.
TOPS International theme for 2025 is “United We Stand.” Many TOPS International division winners from all over the world credit the support and programs given by fellow TOPS members each week. We know our TOPS Chapter prides itself in support and good weekly programs thus United We Stand is a perfect theme for our winners honored here.
First place division 4 winner, Juanita S. Juanita first joined TOPS 9319 in 2016, she became our queen in 2017 with a loss of 48 pounds. As some others erroneously think, Juanita thought she could keep it off without the support of TOPS. She rejoined TOPS in 2023 and is receiving the division 4 first place winner with a loss of 12.2 pounds in 2024.
Pat T joined TOPS 9319 in 2021. She became a division winner in 2023 and again in 2024, she is our division 2 winner with a loss of 13.0 pounds
We have a Queen for 2024! TOPS Chapter Queen is the individual that lost the most weight to reach their goal in 2024. Margie lost 21.75 pounds to reach her goal. Margie will reign for the day as Queen for a Day. To honor our Queen, we chose something that is close to her heart, helping children.
