Women's Division 4, First Place
"It
has to be a lifestyle, not just a number on the scale.”
“I was a member of TOPS before, reached my goal,
and then life seemed to get in the way. I quit TOPS and regained
all the weight, plus another 20 pounds. I was embarrassed and
ashamed. I felt like a failure. After I retired, I rejoined
TOPS, exercised on a regular basis, kept a food journal, and
counted my calories. I recently completed the Race to Robie
Creek, the toughest half-marathon in the Northwest. Even though
I've reached my goal, I still have to be sensible about what I
eat and continue to exercise. I may be at the finish line, but
there is still a race to run. It has to be a lifestyle, not just
a number on the scale."
