TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) #VA285 meets every Tuesday night at 6:30pm at the Porter Library in Parkridge. There are several other chapters in the Stafford area that meet on different nights and locations. TOPS provides support, encouragement and competition to your diet. The organization is present in every state within the US and in Canada. There are weekly weigh-ins and weightloss topic discussions each week. There are Area Inspirations every 6 months and a State Conference once a year. Your doctor suggests a goal weight and what exact diet you follow is up to you. TOPS teaches a healthy way of eating and the support and encouragement to stay with your diet. You can contact our Area Coordinator, Fay Dunmire, at (540)891-5181 for more information.
