During weekly chapter meetings, members—learn about nutrition, how to incorporate exercise into their day, and receive ongoing support as they work to reach their weight-loss goals. TOPS Club, Inc. members lost a total of 871, 266 pounds in 2010 . “TOPS has been the most affordable weight-loss solution for over 60 years,†said Christine Sheehan, chapter leader and area captain. “The numbers prove that losing weight doesn’t have to cost a lot to be successful.â€
TOPS’ philosophy is that the best way to lose and maintain a healthy weight is through education, encouragement and consistent support from others. Because TOPS doesn’t dictate how members should eat, they’re free to consult with their doctor, a nutritionist, or another health professional to design the best plan for them. Additionally, TOPS encourages members to schedule at least 30 minutes of exercise – walking, biking, swimming – most days of the week for optimum health.
Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meeting free of charge. To find another local chapter, visit www.tops.org or call TOPS Headquarters at 800-932-8677. Or c Sheehan, the Area Captain for Kenosha, Racine, and Walworth at rsheehan2@wi.rr.com
