T.O.P.S.

Tuesday, December 27th we had eleven people weigh in, with a total weight-loss of ten lbs.  Two people stayed the same weight.  Delores was high-loser.

Linda’s name was drawn from those losing weight after the Christmas holiday and she received a charm.  Margaret and Linda received charms for walking 100 miles each.  Vince received two charms for walking 200 miles.  Congratulations to these folks!

Sharon presented the program with an article entitled, “Thirteen Things You Never Knew About Your Weight”.

Tuesday, January 3rd we had fourteen people weigh in, with a total weight-loss of ten and 1/4 lbs.  Rachel was high-loser.

Kathleen’s name was drawn from those losing weight after the New Year’s holiday, and she received a charm.

Those opting to participate began a new weight-loss challenge/game called “Losers’ Lotto” in which those losing weight each week can buy a ticket for fifty cents, and when 100 tickets are sold a winning ticket will be drawn and the winner will split the prize of $50.00 with the chapter’s treasury, thereby also raising money for the club.  It only takes one ticket to win!

Sharon presented the program with two articles from realage.com entitled, “How To Lose Weight In 2012” and “Don’t Sweat It:  Exercise Doesn’t Have To Be Hard.”
