Monthly and quarterly winners

Our monthly winner was Melody. She didn't get to come to TOPS because she had to work. But I saw her at work and told her she was the monthly winner. She was thrilled. She will be there next week. Second place was Linda W. Congratulations to both of you for losing in a VERY difficult month!

Quarterly winners were Barb B. with a loss of 12 1/4 lbs and Debbie B. with a loss of 7 1/2 lbs. Both of you are just doing terrific! Keep up the good work. We are so proud of you and cheering you on!

Winner of quarterly most inches lost was Joan Savage. Way to go Joan! We are SO proud of Joan she reached her KOPS status on the 18th of December!!! You are such a good example of stick-to-it-iveness! You so rarely had a gain and are SO focused. Congratulations!!!

We will be missing David. He will be going to school in Prescott. We are proud of the progress he made while he was with us. He will make many new friends at his new place.

Peggy's 35th KOPS Anniversary Part 1

Peggy, our assistant weight recorder and special guest of honor.
















Mary Alice our weight recorder and wonderful hostess for Peggy's 35th KOPS anniversary celebration.

We had a surprise KOPS anniversary celebration for Peggy to congratulate her on her 35th anniversary as a KOPS. We had weigh in at Mary Alice's home. Then we honored Peggy. Various members shared how much we are blessed to have Peggy in our group. Peggy had shared her struggles during the first five KOPS years in a previous meeting, but referred to it again.

Peggy was given a card shower since she requested no presents. The members had written little notes which were put together in a scrapbook for Peggy.

After honoring Peggy, Mary Alice provided us a delightful home-cooked breakfast of quiche, various breads, and fruit. Much of the food was provided from her garden and hen house. It was a real treat. Thank you, Mary Alice, for your generous hospitality. We all had fun!!!
