HEALTH & SPORTS CLUBS | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | MARCH 2015 | 39 Losing weight takes personal commitment and a decision to do things differently, which is difficult to do on your own. The collective goal to lose weight is a powerful force. Drive and energy generated by TOPS group of like-minded individuals can inspire and motivate you. March is a very exciting month for our TOPS chapter, packed full of wonderful programs and events. Our yearly awards will be held on March 12 with a big celebration for the Best Losers of 2014. We will be crowning our Chapter Royalty, recognizing all of our winners in each weight division and honoring all KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly) members. A key element that sets TOPS apart is our recognition. Celebrating our members' success is important weather they are losing or maintaining their goal. The following TOPS members are learning how sensible nutrition, portion control and regular physical activity are making a difference in their lives. They are TOPS Best Losers for the month: John Wright, Ron Chesnut, Ann Oliver, Diana Newman, Agna Harper, Eileen Swope, Kay Ross, Jan Sandberg, Helga Sieg, Lillie Brown, Jeanie Dana, Beverly Reneau, Linda Inforzato, and Janice Walsh.
