New TOPS® chapter paves the way to healthy lifestyle

Brewster  – Several residents of Brewster are embracing a healthier lifestyle after launching a new nonprofit weight-loss support group meeting. Weekly TOPS® meetings will be held at Boys and Girls Club, 601 Cliff Avenue W. Brewster on Mondays at 10 a.m. beginning Oct. 15.

TOPS Club, Inc.® (Take Off Pounds Sensibly®) is an affordable wellness education organization with thousands of chapters in the United States and Canada. Members learn about nutrition, portion control, food planning, exercise, motivation, and more. Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS® meeting free of charge and without obligation.

“We’re so excited to get started in our new chapter and welcome anyone looking for weight-loss support to start or continue their weight-loss journey with us,” says Mary Falconer, TOPS Area Captain.

Collectively, TOPS® members lose about 300 tons each year. According to independent studies published in major medical journals, the TOPS® program has been proven just as effective as more expensive commercial programs. Membership is affordable at just $32 per year in the U.S. plus nominal chapter fees.
