" I knew I had to lose weight to live a long, productive life, and my local TOPS was there to motivate me."

“From the age of seven, I’ve been fighting with my weight. As an adult, I’ve tried one diet after another with few successes. I did lose weight after high school graduation while working in the Air Force. When I returned to the States, I soon gained it back. My desk job was stressful and required long hours. I’m retired now. I knew I had to lose weight to live a long, productive life, and my local TOPS was there to motivate me. After one reaches KOPS, new goals must be set and met. My next goal is to tighten my excess skin and gain ripple stomach muscles that can actually be seen in the mirror."
