"TOPS meetings are a place of camaraderie, learning and accountability.”

“I’ve learned throughout my weight-loss journey that if you want to lose the weight, you have to do the work. For me it’s portion control, weighing my food, counting calories, keeping a food log, drinking lots of water and exercising. TOPS meetings are a place of camaraderie, learning and accountability. Not once have I left a TOPS meeting without knowledge either from the program or another member. I also want to thank my husband for his encouragement, whether it was a note he left, or just a look. These are my “pearls of wisdom.” Success is determined by your choices. Choose baked, not fried foods. Choose to move, not sit. One good choice leads to another. Remember: “The choice is mine—and yours!”
