Hi! I'm new to this site but I'm so glad to see that there are fellow TOPS members on here. My group is asking me to be the leader this year and I am not sure if I should accept because I don't really have a lot of cool ideas. Could someone help me out. I am interested in knowing what other chapters are into like contests, group discussions, and any other topics you think are interesting. My group is composed of members who seem to have kinda stagnated and they need an upbeat fun meeting to get them back to the business of wt loss.

Thanks guys

Hello nursie,
I am a tops member of nc 56. Take the pluge for leader. It will inspire you to be more careful of your daily menu because other members are looking up to you. One of the weight loss ideas that we are doing is everyone has a name tag. For every five pounds that a member losses he/she receives a star to put on their name tag. Wishing you lots of success!!!

Hi, I'm Hilta I belong to a TOPS group OH 1739. Ive been a Tops memberoff and on for years. 3 years ago I had 82 lbs off and was doing really
well until I started working at a Wal-mart. Every week they had different
events with food and doughnuts for every occasion. I was strong for
a long time but temptation finally won and I'm back at my highest again.

When I hurt my back in an auto accident 2 years ago on Mother' Day
I was in bed for 5 months and that along with no exercise put me where
I am today. Of course that's only an excuse because we all know what
causes this to happen. Like Dr. Phil says its not what you eat its what
eating you!

Oh well, I'm still trying and I guess that's all that counts.

My group is also trying to talk me into being leader, but I've been leader
before-asst. leader-weight recorder-asst. weight recorder- and secretary.
Now I am contest chairman and I also do a calendar with birthdays and
events on it. It sounds like you would make a good leader "nursie". I would
go for it. I am sure you will do a good job.

I get weighed in tomorrow so wish me luck and I hope my slider goes
down, down,down! (at least 1 lb )

Talk to all later Hilta

I just wrote each of you a note and welcomed you aboard. And I guess it is wandering around in space, because I lost it. I think this old machine is about to crash!

Any way, Hope you are all doing good and let us hear from you. We are all truely concerned and care about you.
