So how many of you have been to your State Recognition Days?!? Even though I have not been doing well the last few years (worse when I have quit before) I have attended Missouri State Recognition Day for the last 3 years. This year the Missouri queen lost 200 lbs. to goal WITH TOPS and 40+ more on her own before TOPS!!! I was SO impressed and so inspired by her dedication to good health that I went back to my chapter a new person!!! Since then, I have not had a gain (since first WI in April) , though I have traveled, been to a wedding, been to parties and missed a couple meetings!!! Our whole group has been in a funk for a while but when the 4 of us who went to SRD came back fired up, we are ALL doing better.... 8 members and a net loss of 22.25 lbs. for MAY!!!!

SRD changed my life, how about you?!?!

    That sounds very exciting!! I just joined TOPS on 4/9/13 so maybe next year :) The ladies from our chapter who went said that it was very inspirational and the chapter is already making plans for next year.

    I hope you do get to go!!! It is awesome!!! The speakers are great but what is the very best is to watch real people, people who have health issues, have a lifetime of obesity walk across that stage, healthy and happy and confident!!! I wanna do that!!!!

    Pennsylvania SRD was May 30-June 1, and 17 people from my chapter were able to attend. My partner and I left feeling renewed and motivated (which has been severely lacking recently!); went home and laid our or new, improved menu for the week. Weigh-in is Thursday! :wink:
