TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly)

TOPS Chapter 319 El Dorado Springs (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) met in the Church of Christ Sanctuary on Thursday, Jan. 19.

Kay led us in singing “Help Me Slender.”

We said our TOPS and KOPS pledges.

Robbie had a couple of reminders: January dues are due.

Please keep in mind you need to get here in time to weigh-in before 8:30 in order to give the weight recorders time to get their bookwork done before the start of the meeting.

Start thinking about SRD which will be April 21 – 22 in Springfield.

Robbie led us in roll call. We welcomed new member, Pam L.

Thirty-one weighed in today. Angie was best loser with a loss of 5.6 lbs. The chapter had a net loss of 13.8 lbs.

Marie won the right to draw for the marble but did not get the white one.

Warren reported on the contest. Marilyn is way ahead in the KOPS portion and in the TOPS Juanita is in 1st place, Chris is 2nd and Susan is in 3rd.

Warren is putting together a new contest. It will be based on points earned for doing various things. Losing weight, exercise, contact, measuring or counting calories and so on. More details to follow.

Marilyn presented the month’s best loser award to Felicia. She lost 6.8 lbs. in December and earned the pot of $10.25.

Sheryl presented the program today. She talked about getting your home organized and de cluttered. Fifteen minutes a day are all you need each day to have a more organized home. In de cluttering your home you are in turn de cluttering your mind and can help calm you and help with weight loss.

We welcome anyone who is interested in learning about a healthy lifestyle. We welcome women and men of all ages. We encourage healthy eating and offer support through our chapter and the National Chapter of TOPS. We have a lot of fun in our weight loss journey and make lifelong friendships. First visit is free with no obligation. Membership and dues are very inexpensive.
