TOPS OH 1573 Nashville met August 24, with nine reciting the TOPS and KOPS pledges. The club had a one pound weight loss. Sandy Esto was the best weekly loser. She said to eat fruits and vegetables. Martha Kuntz was the best rededicated loser. She said no sweets that start with the letter C. Tom Alexander was the best weekly KOPS. He said to drink lots of water.

Mary Burgett had a program from Mayo Clinic entitled Beyond Meat and Potatoes. The item told about soluble and non-soluble fiber. Fiber lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, increases the LDL cholesterol, absorbs sugar, lowers chances for diabetes and makes you feel full sooner, which helps lose weight. Fiber is found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Popcorn is a good source of heart healthy whole grain. Good fats are found in olive oil, fatty fish and canola oil.

Next week is fruit and vegetable night. Bring three items. Leo Tope will have the program. The club meets on Wednesdays, with weigh-in at 5:30 p.m. and the meeting at 5:45. Everyone is welcome. For more information, call 330-763-1347 or 330-378-2438 or 330-378-2723.
