Seven types of hunger

By Billie Anthony

Monday, we had fifteen TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) and one KOPS (Keep Off Pounds Sensibly) in attendance. We had a net loss of 5.7 pounds this week. Way to go members!! Brenda H had the best weight loss of 5.7 pounds. Great job, Brenda H! Lynda’s name was drawn for the Two Bit Bowl, so she won two dollars and fifty cents! Our Lucky Lotto contest is going great and we our Ladder contest has three ladies tied on the fourth rung. Everyone is curious as to what is in the new Surprise Box and more stickers being put on it. Our Chapter Challenge this coming week is to “Better Prayer Life”. We all received the new membership list.
