My reason for joining TOPS was to lose weight and get in better shape for doing my job better. To feel better! I knew it would be easier to lose weight with TOPS than on my own, which would be harder. I was a member before, many years ago, and it helped then. I knew I needed TOPS to be more motivated.

I walk, dance and joined a bowling league for exercise. I keep a closer eye on my weight by weighing myself every day. I keep track of the portion sizes I eat by writing down my food and staying within a 1,800-calorie limit.

I have lost 45 pounds so far. I find I’m not so tired, am more active, and feel better. I am happier and feel better about myself. My goal is to be at 220 pounds and maintain that weight. I am going to continue to eat healthy and exercise regularly as I have learned while being at TOPS.

I want to thank everyone at TOPS #ON 4297, Brantford, for their help and support in getting to my goal.
