TOPS News for May 30, 2013

May 30 was a no-gain week for TOPS NE0267 – all TOPS members attending showed a weight loss since their weigh-in last week. Barb was the best loser for the week. Donna was the best loser for the month of May. She received a gift certificate and will be able to wear the butterfly pin through the month of June. Barb won a whoppin’ $3.50 in the Ha-Ha drawing.

The Yes-Yes for the week is to eat at least 20 grams of fiber each day; the No-No is snacking while watching TV or reading.

Cheryl reminded members of their May weight goals. She also read the chapter’s by-laws, which were reviewed and revised on May 16. With just a couple of minor changes, they were unanimously approved. Shirley shared a tidbit entitled “What to Count,” which is posted below.

TOPS Club meets every Thursday from 9 to 10 a.m. at the Imperial Community Center, with weigh-ins beginning at 8:30. For more information about TOPS, phone Cheryl at 883-0265, go to www.tops.org. The first meeting is always free!

What to Count

by Pauline Thomason, Flora, Illinois

Don’t count how many years you've spent,
Just count the good you've done.
The times you've lent a helping hand,
The friends that you have won.

Count all your deeds of kindness,
The smiles, not the tears.
Count all the pleasures that you've had,
But never count the years.
