I won the basket!

Back to my TOPS club. Don't read if not interested. And you're probably not :P

Every week at the TOPS meeting people bring some things (healthy food, money, whatever) to put in a basket. Whoever has the largest weight loss that week (minus any gain from the prior week) wins the basket.

We have a few KOPS, eight ladies, in our club now (Keeping Off Pounds Sensibly) and yesterday another KOPS lady & I were the ones with the biggest weight loss in the chapter that night. That's very unusual.

Until you reach your goal weight, most of the time the TOPS members will beat out the KOPS people every time on the weight loss. Especially since the KOPS people are all about maintaining their weight loss, vs. continuing to lose every week.

We have a 10-lb leeway we're supposed to stay in, and when you are hitting the top of your leeway, sure, you need to lose weight. But it's harder to lose 2 lbs. in one week when you only have 5 to lose!

So, that's my little piece of TOPS club history for today. 2 KOPS beat out the TOPS members to get the prize basket (and I got an energy-saving lightbulb in my half!)

See you lighter!
