"After observing a meeting, I knew
this was what I needed.”
“Ironically, the same day I decided to lose weight, I saw a
newspaper ad for TOPS. After observing a meeting, I knew this
was what I needed. My first weigh-in showed 272.75 pounds. I
called my doctor for his permission to set a goal of 210 pounds.
He said that he and the Lord would both be glad if I reached it.
We reset my goal three more times, settling with 172 pounds and,
with the help of the Lord and my TOPS chapter, I have done it.
Here are some rules that I live by: No days off. No dessert; eat
fruit instead. Drink water and, if you slip, get back to the
program.”
