"I joined TOPS and learned how to eat right and started exercising."

“Before I joined TOPS, I was miserable. I was overweight and shy because of it. I was taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, depression and anxiety. These medications made me tired, which made it difficult to get up and move around to lose weight. The more weight I gained, the unhealthier I became. My seizures were out of control. I had to lose weight and knew I couldn’t do it on my own. I joined TOPS and learned how to eat right and started exercising. I now have a full-time job and am off all my medications! I feel great and am enjoying my life and my new friends."
