Take Off Pounds Sensibly Chapter 0233 met at the Aldergate building on High Street for its May 14 meeting.
Seventeen ladies were weighed; three of this number were KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly). The loser of the week was Charlotte Marley with “the challenger” as runner-up. Leader Diane Folsom had charge of the meeting. Roll call was given and reports were from Cheryl Driscoll and weight recorder Joanne Scott.
The skinny dish was won by Lois Downing with the 50/50 drawing to Marsha Reed. Marsha reported on the ongoing contest and told us it will end next week. Welcomed back were Joyce Estey and Margaret Hagerman.
Diane had charge of the program giving us ways to keep off weight: eat oatmeal for breakfast; also eat salmon, walnuts to satisfy; hold the bread in a restaurant; use red pepper and cinnamon on foods; walk before lunch; use a smaller dish from which to eat; have a good night’s rest; eat low sodium soup, keep a journal; keep vegetables on hand; and don’t eat in front of the television. She also gave other rules to follow —be a good listener; reach out to those who need support; and share your feelings.

The chapter meets every Friday at the same location. Weigh-in is 8-8:45; a meeting begins at 9 a.m. and lasts an hour.
