Women's Division 3, Second Place
"Something
clicked when my son said he couldn’t bear to lose another
parent."
“The
first TOPS meeting I attended, I just didn’t get it. I didn’t go
back. I was 38 and weighed 248.5 pounds. I had Type 2 diabetes,
back pain, and couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs without
getting out of breath. I kept saying, "I’ll start my diet
tomorrow." My husband passed away of a heart attack at 41.
Something clicked when my son said he couldn’t bear to lose
another parent. I went back to TOPS and learned that it was
about education and living healthier. I’ve lost 105 pounds,
going from a size 22 to a size 8. No more back pain or
medication, and I enjoy tennis, swimming, and walking with my
family."
