Are we excited? Yes, we are! We had three people who qualified for
rewards for last year. Usually, we would have a big celebration complete
with healthy food, candles, pats on the back, and speeches. But due to
the virus all we can do is congratulate these three outstanding people
who weigh much less than they did the year before.
Pat Whalen reached her goal weight. That is a weight prescribed
by her doctor. She is now called a KOPS, Keep Off Pounds Sensibly.
She must stay within a 10-pound range to keep that title. She is also
dubbed our Queen for this year.
Marjorie Melendez lost 26 pounds. Wow! She is an inspiration to
many in the group and received a lovely certificate to memorialize her
achievement.
Charles Caldera also lost weight, qualifying him for a certificate as
well. He attributes his control to intermittent fasting, one technique
for weight loss. TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) recommends
several styles of healthy lifestyle choices. As we say, "Whatever works
for you, do it."
You may even find that a group like TOPS can help you as well. We
meet on line via Zoom on Tuesday mornings. We have eliminated
our monthly $3 fee. For more information, call Andi Henderson (918)

Our hikers joined with the Sun Lakes hiking
group on a perfectly cool February Wednesday
to go uphill about 600 feet and downhill,
crossing a stream and enjoying great views of
the local valleys and snow-capped mountains.
