Weight Loss—-Facts About TOPS Club
Have you wondered why you’ve never heard of TOPS advertised? The TOPS Club is a nonprofit, noncommercial weight-loss support organization. It originated in Milwaukee, WI.
The group has been around since 1948. Ester Manz started the group as a response to the need to assist overweight and obese people lose weight by setting up a support group system. Over the years, as more weight issues began to surface such as bulimia and anorexia, TOPS expanded their scope to include ALL people with weight problems. They also created an incentive for club memebers who reach and maintain their weight at their goal level to stay in the club as KOPS )Keeps Off Pounds Sensibly)members…giving them extra recognition to help encourage other members in the club.
MEMBERSHIP:
TOPS has over 200,000 memebers in nearly 10,000 chapters in the United States, Canada, and other countries throughout the world. Membership includes women, men, and children.
MEMBERSHIP FEES:
$24 ANNUALLY in the United States, $30 in Canada.
It’s worth checking a chapter out in your area. I remember they let me come to a few meeting to see if I liked it before I joined.

This is just one big advert for that company isnt it?
How pathetic do you have to be to pretend to be a kid on a weightloss diet so you can write a fake blog about your company.
Disgraceful.

I happen to be 54 years old and am a retired postmaster. This blog use to belong to my son and he gave it to me a couple of years ago. He made a post about it when it gave it to me. Obviously, you didn’t READ it.
TOPS happened to be a program that worked for me. I like to share information with people I think is worthwhile.
I’ll excuse your ignorance. You can go eat crow now anonymous.

I think this blog is great and I would also like so say I hope we don’t have to hear from anonymous again.
There is nothing wrong with giving kudos to an appreciated program. Word of mouth is a powerful tool.
Keep up the good work Chris!
