"As the weight slowly came off, I became more active.”

“I went to my first TOPS meeting with the intention of motivating my sister. We began by using the TOPS Diner booklet as a guide to healthier eating. I stopped drinking soft drinks and started controlling my sugar and starch intake. That was the beginning of my obsession with eating the right foods. As the weight slowly came off, I became more active. I exercise three times per week incorporating weight training in my program. I am not a sports person, but I joined the kickball team at work. I now wear a size 4! Even though I worked hard, it most certainly would not have been possible without attending my weekly TOPS meetings receiving all the inspiration, encouragement and support.
