TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church, 1300 S Summer St, El Dorado Springs on Thursday, May 27, for their weekly weigh-in and meeting.
Linda Hall, Leader, called the meeting to order.
Carol led us in singing “It Has To Be Me”
We said our TOPS and KOPS pledges.
Linda H led us in roll call and walking report. 15 members weighed in. We had an 8 lb. loss and a 4.6 gain resulting in a 3.4 net LOSS. The week’s best loser for the week was Warren with a loss of 2.8 lbs. Congratulations Warren.
Other good losses this week were; Judy B 1.4, Linda C .8, Chris 1.8 and Linda W 1.0.
Jean had the program today, first she led us in chair exercises and reminded us that 20 minutes of these exercises will count as 1 mile walked in the contest.
She then asked us to think of something we can cut out of our meal plan to cut 100 calories each day. One member said she did not put sugar on her strawberries this week, which is a good example of cutting 100 calories.
She then took some information from the TOPS Real People Book. Some tips from people who have lost weight and kept the weight off for several years are:
Eat breakfast every day
Weigh at least once a week
Watch FEWER than 10 hours of TV per week
Exercise on average 1 hour per day.
CONTEST: Laura had a drawing for the prizes for the May part of the contest. Winners were Warren, Jean and Juda. Rest of prizes will be drawn for at the end of June. Remember we are doing our Strut to Goal portion of the contest each member needs to walk (exercise) equivalent to 25 miles or more each week to win a ticket to be drawn at the end of the contest.
Report your miles to Laura each week.
Linda Hall went over the Summer Contest sponsored by TOPS.Org. This starts June 10th and runs for 12 weeks. Prizes will be given at the Fall Rally in October. Linda passed out information sheets on this contest. Each member is asked to bring a dish for tasting. The recipe must come from TOPS NEWS or the TOPS website. Linda passed around a sheet for members to indicate what date they would bring a tasting dish. Each member must keep their record of exercise and report weight loss each week to Robbie.
We sang Happy Anniversary to Pat who is celebrating her 49th wedding anniversary this week.
With no other business meeting was adjourned with Linda’s quote of the week:
Life is from the inside out. When you shift on the inside, life shifts on the outside” Kamal Ravikant
And by our Motto: “IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME”
