TOPS News for June 28, 2013

Area Captain Mary Lou Beisner was the special guest at the June 28, 2013 meeting of TOPS NE0267 Imperial. Her inspiring program ties into the current international theme, “Real People. Real Weight Loss.”
TOPS believes that real people

1. Come in all shapes and sizes;
2. Aren't perfect;
3. Are real, or honest, with themselves;
4. Are real with others, especially in a TOPS chapter setting;
5. Take the first step, knowing that weight loss is not a quick fix;
6. Eat real food;
7. Get moving and stay moving;
8. Have fun, because if it’s not fun, they know they won’t stick with it;
9. Live in the real world;
10. Reach out to help and ask for help;
11. Need a pat on the back;
12. Can take off pounds sensibly and keep off pounds sensibly.

Judy was the best loser for the week and for the month, and Cheryl won a little cash in the Ha-Ha drawing. The “Yes-Yes” for the next week is to eat small portions; the “No-No” is sugared drinks. Donna and Shirley will provide food for the Senior Center Sunday dinner on July 14.

Because of Independence Day, the next meeting will be on Wednesday, July 3. Shirley will present a program on “Red, White, and Blue.”

TOPS Club meets 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!
