A weight loss success story
Joan Savage is a member of TOPS, and has enjoyed great success with the program. So far, the 74-year-old Payson woman has lost 90 pounds. She has been with TOPS since 2006. Key elements to the program are keeping an exchange record and food diary.
“It has been a wonderful experience for me,” Savage said. Some of her favorite parts of the program are the contests and the rewards of charms. She has claimed more than 40 charms during her time with the program.
“The greatest benefits of the program are the accountability it provides and how cost effective it is,” she said.
She said one of the lessons she has learned is to be thankful for what we have, and know there are some things about our bodies that cannot be changed.
Much of the popular diet literature — found in magazine and newspaper articles and in diet books as well — features claims that after a certain age it is more difficult for women to lose weight. That may be the case, but Savage is a stunning exception. Her advice to others who want to lose weight, “There is no time like the present, so don’t put it off.”
