from MA 447
Sturbridge with a loss of 52.00#

I joined TOPS in April of 2008 at a weight of 286.
I knew if I didn’t do something, I would go well
over 300 lbs. I had tried every weight loss program
out there, YES even Nutri-System.
I found that I know what and how to eat; I just
could not control the portions. I’m not a
compulsive eater, and I don’t eat when I’m stressed,
maybe when I’m bored.
My first year in TOPS I lost 20 lbs., but my second
year I gained 10 lbs and knew this was my previous
history. I’d do really well for some months but
then back I’d go to back sliding.
My leader Connie Thompson had weight loss surgery in
2010 and lost 100 lbs. her first year. She became
my hero.
I do love the TOPS program cause there is no
counting points etc., just good normal food and if
you want a cookie – that’s OK cause we are just
normal people who need a cookie once in a while.
With my gastric bypass I have learned to control my
portions and hopefully my weight loss journey will
continue. Thank You to TOPS and I will be a member
forever. It keeps me responsible.
