"I don’t think I could have done this without my chapter’s love and support.”

“I joined TOPS when I was nine years old. My Auntie Kelly brought me. I tried many different weight-loss plans and exercised on and off but, every time, I’d lose a few pounds and then gain it all back, plus more. After a couple of health complications and reaching 250 pounds at age 12, I decided to give calorie counting and exercise another shot. It worked and I was sticking to it! Then I tried vegetarianism. This also worked, and I stayed with it. I only had two red marks on my chart last year. I don’t think I could have done this without my chapter’s love and support. I want to give a special thanks to my Auntie Kelly.”
