TOPS #1704

On Monday evening, eight members weighed in at Take Off Pounds Sensibly chapter #1704 with a weight loss of 18.2 pounds. Harold was the weekly best loser in waiting and Lonnie was the officer of the week. Members are to skip the pasta and spoon up some yogurt this week.

The weekly program was about handling cravings when they strike. Discussion was held about why members crave items, is it out of boredom, nervous/worried, depressed or stressed out simply because something is in the house. When do you tend to snack? Ideas were shared on how to handle one’s situations to help keep the pounds off by not adding extra snacking.
