To lose weight you must “Plant Seeds of Change “according to SK TOPS area captain Linda Wood, who visited TOPS SK 2211 on June 11. You have to tend to changes in your life that will lead to weight loss. Her presentation gave members “Food for Thought!”
TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is a non-profit weight loss support group that has been around for over 75 years. Members gain insight into their own weight loss battles and are encouraged to lose weight by healthy food choices and exercise.
Weights are kept confidential. Members encourage each other towards their goal. Those that “graduate” become KOPS (Kept off Pounds Sensibly) and they work to maintain their new status and share their motivation and tips with other members. There are TOPS gatherings once a year where a Provincial King & Queen are crowned for their weight loss achievement.
Chapters share recipes weight loss tips, nutritional info, some laughs and we have guest speakers. TOPS SK2211 meets Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. at St. Andrew's United Church (60 Athabasca St. East).
New members are always welcome. Call 306-690-8001 for more information.
