Chapter 0233 of Houlton met at the Aldergate building on High Street Friday, September 19 for a regular meeting of Take Off Pounds Sensibly.
Betty Wyman was back from vacation and she led us with our usual roll call. Sixteen TOPS members were weighed; three of this number were KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly). Denise Clark gave an overview of our weights and losses for the past month. Loser of the week was Barbara Grant with runner-up Joanne Scott.
The skinny dish winner was Marsha Reed with the 50/50 drawing going to Millie Gagnon. Janette Nelson requested the members talk about the challenges of their favorite food given up for a week, as promised the week before. Almost all stuck to their “challenged favorite food.”
Our faithful dietician, Sarah, was again present as the principal speaker. She noted 10 tips to help make celebrations fun, healthy and active. Then she proceeded to “reading food labels,” and TOPS members were told a change on labels will be instituted in 2018. Questions were answered from the membership.
Weigh-in is 8-8:45 a.m. every Friday followed by a meeting at 9 a.m. No weigh-in takes place after 8:45 a.m. If you need more information on the chapter you may call Betty Ivey at 532-9653 or Charlotte Marley at 757-8483. Our chapter is open to men and women of all ages. Come, enjoy, and take off weight.
