I come from a large family, the fourth of nine children. At mealtime, we had to clean our plates, if we wanted seconds.
I joined the TOPS Ravenna Chapter in 2010. I was tired of looking like a woman eight months pregnant! At my highest weight 257 pounds. When I was standing, I couldn’t see my feet.
My favorite form of exercise is walking, as it clears my mind, reduces stress, and loosens my joints. I walk about four blocks two or three times a day in all kinds of weather.
My favorite day of the week is Tuesday when I attend my TOPS Chapter meeting with all the friends I have made over the years. Everyone has encouraged me on my weight loss journey to reach my goal weight and to become a KOPS. They all helped me to lose 87 pounds.
