TOPS (take off pounds sensibly) With summer drawing to a close, we have to remember that we don't just "fall" into healthy habits – we have to make a conscious effect to establish them. Fall can be the perfect time of the year to make a resolution, renew an old one, or the perfect opportunity to jump start a resolution that might have fallen by the wayside since January. Do you have a goal for Real Weight Loss Success? One that is: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely? TOPS weekly meetings offer programs about nutrition, exercise, wellness and more. Our chapter provides ongoing support and encouragement to members no matter where they are in their weightloss journey. Our TOPS meetings are held each Thursday at the South Clubhouse with weigh-ins starting at 9 am and meeting from 10 to 11 am. You may attend one meeting free of charge. Come and visit us! Best Losers of the Month are: Janice Walsh, Beverly Reneau, Leonard Peck, Ruth Schoonover, Susan Johnson, and Fran Rayner KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly) at their weight goal or under for the month were: Pat Bonarigo, Sandy Burgon, Linda Callahan, Connie Cutner, Lauren Cutner, and Dorothy Monterville. Great job to all of our losers. Congratulations to Fran Rayner for reaching her weight goal and becoming our newest KOPS. Fran we are so proud of you!
