I lost 1.75 pounds this week. Drank more water so that helped a little.

We have a draw each week from the food sheets handed in and they get one week free dues for the winner. Hope this helps.

We have navy blue sashes we wear. Our name tags are on them and any charms and pins we earn go on them too. TOPS {{HUGS}} Gerry (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada)

Hi Debbie, Yes I use the exchange plan and I have lost weight on it. I am sorry but I do not have a smartphone so I don't know if there is an app to use. Check out the TOPS website and see if there is any suggestions there, Good luck and happy losing! Gerry (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada)

Happy to say I lost 3.25 pounds this week!! I was high loser, won the 50/50 draw and the quarter draw! WOW ... what a week.:happy: TOPS {{HUGS}} Gerry

Bad week for me. Too much stress and healthy eating went right out the window! I gained 3 pounds.

There is nothing like being in a room full of KOPS for inspiration!!! Hope you got a lot of motivation from the meeting. Time to make your 10 pound rocket ship to goal ... just a little something I did when I was 10 pounds to goal. Keep up the good losing!!! TOPS {{HUGS}} Gerry

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having nice weather because Kitchener, ON is absolutely gorgeous today!! I weighed in Wednesday night with a loss of 1 1/4 pounds. I am still trying to break into the next set of tens!! Have a wonderful St. Paddy's Day and a great weekend. TOPS {{HUGS}} Gerry

Any loss is a good loss!!! Keep up the good work (or should I say "keep down the good work :)"

"If it is to be ... It is up to me!" Truest words ever spoken. TOPS can give you the tools and the support but ... the weight loss is up to you!!

BOOHOO! I gained 2 pounds this week. I know why and I will try harder this week.:embarassed:

I lost 3 3/4 pounds last week. Weigh in Wednesday night so hope I can crack the next set of 10's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keeping busy helps ... it is hard to put food in your mouth if both hands are busy!! Needlework, painting, etc

:flowerforyou: One of the members at my TOPS meeting said it was a good site for tracking my food diary and then I found a few friends on here so here I am.

They are burning the muscle in their bodies, that is why they look like skin and bones.

I weigh in Wednesday night at my TOPS meeting and post here after the meeting {{HUGS}} Gerry:flowerforyou:

I am 5' 2" and startiong weight 248.75 pounds. I am 58 years young so not quite the same as the rest of you. I lost 2" from spinal surgeries over the years! Wish everyone here the best of luck and steady losing! {{HUGS}} Gerry:flowerforyou:

I weigh myself once a week when I go to my TOPS meeting. If I do it too often then I get discouraged when the scale doesn't move. This works for me.

Hi RDW, I am a 58 year young female from Kitchener, Ontario Canada. I weigh 248 pounds, the highest I have ever been. I too fear the doctor and what he will tell me if I don't get the weight off. I did it before and kept it off for 15 years then health problems and too many meds and the weight came back on with more added.…

Hi Judway, It is heart month I think. There is a topic in the TOPS News and if you go to the heart website you can get lots of info there. Just a thought. TOPS {{HUGS}} Gerry (Kitchener, ON):flowerforyou:

Congrats on being Chapter Queen!!!! I will look for you at PRD. I was Chapter Queen in 1991 when I lived in Sarnia. I lost my KOPS status after 15 years. I quit TOPS but now, after a 4 year absence I am back and determined to lose. TOPS {{HUGS}} Gerry:flowerforyou:

When I went to the gym I used to have my ipod loaded with really fast upbeat music ... that always kept me from getting bored. If the gym is boring grab your partner and DANCE ... it works great! Gerry (Kitchener, ON):happy:

I too have fibro and CFS. I was diagnosed 16 years ago and I have been really good until 5 years ago when I became quite ill and had to go on so many meds. I gained a whopping amount of weight and now the weight is making the fibro even worse. I am so tired all the time that just getting out of bed is a chore! I need to…

Thanks for the well wishes!

I have just started again to lose the weight. I was a TOPS member for 17 years and then became ill and had to take so many meds. The weight came back and then more besides. Now I am back at TOPS and trying again! I have two beautiful granddaughters (7 & 8 years old) and I want to be around to see them grow up. I have also…
