TOPS 16

The weekly meeting of Take Off Pounds Sensibly #16 was held Thursday at the First Presbyterian Church.

The meeting was called to order by President Vickie Johnson with the TOPS and KOPS Pledge.

Weight Recorder Carole VanSickle and assistant Barb Smead weighed in 24 members with a loss of 12.8 pounds.

The Best Loser of the Week is Cindy Sturtevant, and the Best Loser in Waiting and Officer of the Week is Barb Smead.

Inspiration was by Dee Rhodes, the fashion tip by Diane Lewis, the household tip by Chris McCracken, the healthy foods by Elaine Harris and the joke by Jeannie Miller.

Nickelodeon is hamburgers. The food to avoid is cookies. The fruit is apples and the vegetable is tomatoes.

The Food Chart went to Sue DellaValle.

Chris McCracken presented a program on the good and bad things for dieting. In the program, McCracken stressed the importance of water and gave each member a bottle of water.

Members were reminded that next week will just be a weigh-in from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. because of Bible school.

The meeting was adjourned with the Friendship Circle and the TOPS Prayer.
