TOPS MN 979, Albert Lea Chapter is having an open house and Reunion on Thursday at Senior Center in Skyline Plaza. Weigh-in starts at 8:30 a.m. with a meeting at 9:30.

Take Off Pounds Sensibly is an international support group which is non-profit and non-commercial for those who interested in a heathy lifestyle. Because of the area Vitality Project, we are more cognizant of learning how to become healthier to increase our longevity.

At weekly meetings, which help you face the scale, on the journey to weight loss and maintenance we share ideas, recipes and inspiration. Members are rewarded for continuous weight loss with contests and showers for success. There is no prescribed diet, just recommendations that have proved successful. Come and find out if this would be a route to success for you. If the time doesn’t work for you, www.tops.org will help one find a chapter that fits your needs.
