How TOPS Chooses
Winners
Men and women compete
within divisions based on age and weight lost during the calendar
year. A little healthy competition usually provides extra motivation
for our members—all sorts of friendly contests are offered on a
chapter, local, regional, and international level. The greatest
overall losses lead to recognition as International Division
Winners.
Crowning Achievements!
From “Best Loser of
the Week” to “International King or Queen,” we’ll help you learn to
set and achieve sensible, sustainable goals. Royalty are the men and
women who, at the end of the year, have officially recorded the
largest weight loss from their highest weight recorded at TOPS,
regardless of the time taken to reach their goal.
Esther Manz, our
founder, felt that members who achieved their goal weight should
be “treated like royalty.” This honor means a lot to those who
earn a crown at chapter, state, or province level. Each year,
the best of the best are crowned the TOPS International King and
Queen.
