Tigard Chapter of TOPS, a Non-Profit support group for people seeking to lose weight, keep it off, and develop healthy lifestyles. TOPS stands for "Take Off Pounds Sensibly" ~ we're your friendly neighborhood weight-loss supportive group. No diets, no pressure, no judgement. Only SUPPORT. 

MET YOUR GOAL? If you've reached your weight loss goal and would like support in KEEPING THE WEIGHT OFF, we invite you to join as a KOPS member (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly).
We hope you'll come to a meeting and see how we support one-another. Later, if you decide to join, membership is just $32/year + $3/month for local dues.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT EACH MEETING:
• 5:30-6:00PM Members weigh in privately with the weight recorders
• 6:00-6:10PM We visit with on-another, greet new members
• PRESIDENT makes announcements and starts the meeting 

• KOPS MEMBERS pledge to Keep Off Pounds Sensibly.
"I am an intelligent person. I will control my emotions and not let my emotions control me. Everytime I am tempted to use food to satisfy my frustrated desires, build up my injured ego, or dull my senses, I will remember, that I am to be an example as I keep off pounds sensibly. 

• TOPS MEMBERS say TOPS pledge to Take Off Pounds Sensibly
"I am an intelligent person. I will control my emotions and not let my emotions control me. Everytime I am tempted to use food to satisfy my frustrated desires, build up my injured ego, or dull my senses, I will remember, that I am to be an example as I take off pounds sensibly. 

• AROUND THE ROOM, TOPS members share whether they lost, gained, or stayed the same. For weight gains, we show our support by saying "we're glad you're here." If someone loses weight, we clap and cheer for their success. If their weight stays the same, (this is called "turtling") then we all give them one big clap. Some members like to say what they lost or gained, others don't — it's completely up to them. TOPS is a weight loss or maintenance support group — we will NEVER EVER judge, chide or pressure one-another.

• AT CLOSE OF MEETING We stand (if possible), and hold hands (not required) and say:
"You take my hand, and I'll take yours, and we'll start out today; for a helping hand is what we need to help us on our way. The road to goal is a lonely road, we need someone to care, so reach out, my friend, and take my hand, and then we're almost there!"
