TOPS 0077

TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Chapter 0077 held its weekly meeting April 25. Those members who weighed in lost a total of 23 1/4 pounds. The top “loser” was Edna J. with 5 pounds. Julia S. was runner-up. Edna won the Git-R-Done prize.

Eileen R. led a discussion on the booklet “Stress Management.” She said everyone has to deal with stress in their life, some good and some bad. We all experience stress differently, and we all cope with it differently. The idea is to develop positive and healthful coping strategies, including ways to cope that leave physical health and correct weight intact.
