TOPS shares how to measure serving size if you have nothing to measure with

TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in The Preferred Family Healthcare building, 700 E. Hospital Rd, El Dorado Springs, Mo on Thursday, Aug. 24, for their regular weigh-in and meeting.
Warren, our leader, called the meeting to order.
Carol led us in singing “Help Me Slender”
We said our TOPS & KOPS Pledges
Warren led us in roll call; 23 members weighed in. The chapter had a loss of 13.2 lbs. and a gain of 15.6 with a net Gain of 2.4 lbs.
Some good losses were: Kaelin 5.4 (3 weeks), Samantha 1.2, Pat 2.2.
Best loser for the week was Juanita with a loss of 2.6, Congratulations Juanita!
Laura did part 2 of her program today. Today she brought rocks for us to paint on and draw or print an affirmation that means something to us in our weight loss journey. She passed out rocks to each member and markers. It was suggested we might paint some rocks and leave in places around town for people to find. If found they could turn into the chapter for a prize. More information on that later. While we were painting our rocks, Laura talked to us about portion control and how to determine a serving size if you do not have anything to measure with. Remember, all things in moderation!
Contest: Laura reported on the contest. One more week to go. Those who have reached their goal are: Sue, Kaelin, Constance and Pat. We still have one week to reach the goal you set for yourself.
Marble game: Marie won the right to draw but did not get the winning one. There is $78.50 in the pot.
We sang Happy Birthday to Constance today.
With no other business meeting was adjourned with our motto:
IF IT IS TO BE IT IS UP TO ME.
