Welcome to TOPS

(Take Off Pounds Sensibly) Weight-loss Support!

TOPS Club, Inc. is the original, nonprofit, weight-loss support and wellness education organization. Our program is scientifically proven and has helped millions over the last 60+ years. TOPS promotes successful, affordable weight management with a hands-on pounds-off® approach that combines:

1. healthy eating

2. regular physical activity

3. wellness information

4. awards and recognition

5. support from others at weekly chapter meetings

The Sidney chapter meets every Thursday from 5-6, at Crestwood. Weigh-in is 5-5:30 with the meeting following from 5:30 to 6.

The chapter has 13 active members and last year the group lost over 75 pounds, with a goal of losing more this year. The weekly meetings provide a supportive, educational environment where people are encouraged and not judged. During the meetings a discussion is held on a different weight loss, health topic. Some of the topics that have been discussed at meetings in the last year have included eating a healthy breakfast, eating well for life, and the health benefits of garlic and tea and holiday weight management.

As the leader when a member is having a particular issue with weight loss, such as a weakness for ice cream or other sweets I will try to find an article that talks about how to incorporate that food into a healthy diet for discussion at the next meeting. I will also find a low calorie recipe of that food to share with the group. To me TOPS is all about supporting each other to lose weight and lead a healthy happy life.

Stop by our booth at the Community Health Fair.
