_"I am an intelligent person. I will control my emotions and not let

sensibly. _
• TOPS MEMBERS say TOPS pledge to 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.
_TOPS REPORTS
• WEIGHT REPORT FOR THE GROUP — because we're in this _together_
• DRAWINGS & AWARDS for Best WEIGHT LOSS, Attendance, etc.
• GAME UPDATE — TOPS holds motivational games that members can
choose to participate in, or not.
• 6:25-6:35PM SHORT PROGRAM (on Food/Exercise)
• 6:35-6:55PM MAIN PROGRAM (as WEIGHT LOSS SUPPORT)
• 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!"_
