Members learn to offer support
We had seven weigh in today. We had a net loss of 1.6 pounds and I had the best weight loss of 2.9 pounds. Our chapter challenge is to eat more veggies this coming week. Our Two Bit Bowl winner was Annette. We will start the Ladder contest next week. Five ribbons were removed from the Surprise Box. We celebrated with Brenda her first 15.6 pounds loss since joining our TOPS Chapter. Great job, Brenda! I had the privilege to give Brenda certificate and charm for her weight loss.

The program today was “Pepper with Encouragement and Always offer Support.” An important part of TOPS meetings is listening to one another as we share our struggles, successes and plans for the future. As we offer support and encouragement, it is important to remember that everyone is different. While encouragement can be found in many ways, sometimes the simplest things can be the most meaningful to others. Each member was given a question on a strip of paper and share her feedback. 1: Do you find contests helpful and encouraging? The group agreed that it makes it fun for have challenges for us. 2: Which types of non-scale victories do you find helpful? Being able to wear our clothes we had outgrown and also having friends compliment you on how well you look. 3: What encourages you to attend weekly meetings? Accountability to the scales and hear encouraging words from chapter members. 4: What keeps you going after a frustrating weigh in? Encouragement from chapter members and knowing you will try harder this coming week to watch our portions. 5: How can your fellow chapter members help you? Again encouraging words and sharing ways that worked for their weight loss this past week.
