December 19, 2013 Meeting Highlights

“Snowmen” greeted us when we entered the meeting room. See the post TOPS Goes Bottoms Up to see the clever idea Betty M. had.

The meeting was called to order by Bert.

Darcy called roll:

Jessie was last week’s best loser. Go Jessie!

Present were 16 TOPS and 1 KOPS, for a total of 17
We had a loss of 5lbs, gain of 30lbs, for a net gain 25lbs
Kathy A. was the TOPS and fw best loser. She is almost at her goal–great job, Kathy!
We said goodbye to Jennifer as she leaves for her new apartment and job in Arkansas. See the post Goodbye Jennifer.
Announcement: The next weigh-in will be Thurs., Dec., 26th at the Health Dept.

Bert read the area newsletter
Jan 25th 2014 is the next fun day: The theme is “Old time movie stars.” The Fun Day will be in Blackwell.
For the program, we discussed holiday weight challenges and found out that one of the “secrets” to Kathy A.’s success is eating foods high in nutrient content, like green smoothies.
The meeting was closed with prayer.

Way to Go Kathy!

Kathy is this week's fresh weight and TOPS best loser.

Kathy is this week’s fresh weight and TOPS best loser.

Kathy was this week’s fresh weight and TOPS best loser. This week’s loss put her very close to her goal. It will be great to have a new KOPS!

It’s so inspiring to see my TOPS friends succeed. We’re all cheering for you, Kathy. Way to go!

Goodbye Jennifer

This week was Jennifer’s last meeting with our chapter. She is moving to Arkansas and will join another chapter there. The Arkansas chapter may not know it yet, but they are getting a great TOPS member who I am sure will bring great ideas, a bright smile, and lots of laughs to their chapter like she to does ours. We wish you and your husband well in your travels and future endeavors. We’ll miss you, Jennifer!

P.S., If you are ever in Stillwater, be sure to stop by. We’d love to know how you’re doing.

TOPS Goes Bottoms Up

Bottoms up!

Thanks, Betty M, for the “snowmen.” It really gave me a chuckle. How creative!

In case you can’t read the text in the photo, here is what it says;

Money is scarce and times are hard.
So I’m giving you this instead of a card.
Something to use, something to share,
So bottoms up, just ’cause I care.

Merry Christmas

I heard that I missed a lot of good food and good fun at our TOPS Christmas party.

I was so glad to see that Jennifer and her husband were able to come. Jennifer, we will miss you, and we wish you the best in your move and new endeavors. Keep in touch and if you’re in Stillwater, come see us. You know where you can find us!

Here are some pics of the party goers. I wish I had been there!
