TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) With the hot summer drawing to a close, we have to remember that we don't just fall into healthy habits – we have to make a conscious effort to establish them. Fall can be the perfect time of the year to start your weight loss journey. To make a resolution, renew an old one, or the perfect opportunity to jump start a resolution that might have fallen by the wayside. Do you have a goal for Real Weight Loss Success? One that is… Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely and Smart. 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 weight-loss journey. TOPS is a life saver! TOPS meetings are held each Thursday at the South Clubhouse with weigh-ins starting from 9 to 9:50 am with meeting from 10 to 11 am. You may attend one meeting free of charge. Membership is affordable at $32 a year with six monthly magazines plus $3 a month for chapter dues. Come and visit us! Best Losers of the Month are: Carol White, Charlene Fink, Hela Sieg, Carole Russell, Barbara Mowcomber, Leonard Peck, Edith Hasha, Rene Harrison, Carolee Mathews, Marla Henrich, Jan Prindle, and Beverly Reneau. Congratulations on your success!
