SALLISAW TOPS

Moments of well-being

By Billie Anthony 

We had a very good meeting Monday with 17 members attending. We had a total loss of 35.4 pounds and total gain of 1.5 pounds with a chapter net loss of 33.9 pounds! Neve had our best weight loss this week with a loss of 9.8 pounds! Way to go, Neve! We celebrated Brenda H with being August best weight loss of 5.4 pounds. She received an airplane pin and stress rock that had TOPS ROCKS printed on the stress rock. Congrats, Brenda, keep up the good losses. Our Two Bit Bowl contest drew out Willene’s name but she had a slight gain, so the quarters stay in the bowl for next week’s drawing. The Ladder contest is a close call with Shirley and Brenda H ahead with two more rungs to reach the top. A new surprise box was passed around for the members to feel how heavy the box is. Thirteen of the stickers on the box has been marked off. Our Chapter Challenge for this coming week is to maintain their weight or lose weight.
