"I
joined TOPS and learned how to eat right and started exercising."
“Before
I joined TOPS, I was miserable. I was overweight and shy because of
it. I was taking medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, depression and anxiety. These medications made me
tired, which made it difficult to get up and move around to lose
weight. The more weight I gained, the unhealthier I became. My
seizures were out of control. I had to lose weight and knew I
couldn’t do it on my own. I joined TOPS and learned how to eat right
and started exercising. I now have a full-time job and am off all my
medications! I feel great and am enjoying my life and my new
friends."

"
I knew I had to lose weight to live a long, productive life, and my
local TOPS was there to motivate me."
“From
the age of seven, I’ve been fighting with my weight. As an adult,
I’ve tried one diet after another with few successes. I did lose
weight after high school graduation while working in the Air Force.
When I returned to the States, I soon gained it back. My desk job
was stressful and required long hours. I’m retired now. I knew I had
to lose weight to live a long, productive life, and my local TOPS
was there to motivate me. After one reaches KOPS, new goals must be
set and met. My next goal is to tighten my excess skin and gain
ripple stomach muscles that can actually be seen in the mirror."
