The train is headed in the right direction. SOUTH! Way to go!
Oh, how I enjoy reporting that Sister Mary was our 'Biggest Loser'. (She lost ALOT!!) She says to clean and stay away from the carbs.
Due to the large number of people already excused from next week's meeting, the chapter has decided that there WILL NOT BE A WEIGH-IN OR MEETING ON July 2nd. However, if you want to go for a walk with your Co-Leader, meet at Collins Park at the corner of Moe Road and 146 at 7pm. (Weather permitting)
Mark and Amanda did a program about how not to gain weight on your vacation. Here's a link with those helpful tips:

O.K. Back to the drawing board. We WILL do better this coming week!
Showing us just how to do just that is Janet, our 'Best Loser' of the week. She said to stick to our diet and we should be careful of not being aware of portion size.
Jessie won the 'Black Dice' contest and got $13. $13 will also go to the chapter's SRD account.
Travel Gifts were drawn and Bonnie and Jessie we "lucky" enough to be picked.
There WILL BE a weigh-in and meeting on July 2nd! See you there.
Joanna did a program on how mushrooms are filled with good vitamins such as Vitamin D, riboflavin and niacin. A whole cup has only 60 calories and 9.7 carbs! Viva la fungus!

That's much better! Keep them scales down!
The chapter had a loss this week. Now we've turned it around.
Wilma was out 'Best Loser' this week and she told us to chew gum to keep from putting food in your mouth and don't be bad and forget to drink your water.
A new Co-Leader was elected this week and it was...MARK! Congratulations!!!
There were two minor changes made to the chapter by-laws.

There were two minor changes made to the chapter by-laws.
- Changes about active and inactive members on medical leave
- Changes to our policy about unexcused absences
Mark and Amanda reported on the 2009 SRD in Niagara Falls.
- They reported that SRD was very smooth
- Mark was reminded about how supportive our chapter is
- Amanda was inspired to be healthy to avoid health concerns as we get older
- When Mark was hornored as a Division Winner, he wrote the following statement that was read:
Six years ago, I ate anything and everything I wanted, whenever I wanted. For many years, I tried to lose weight on my own, only to just keep gaining. It was with my wonderful wife Amanda’s gentle urging that I joined a local chapter of TOPS. They met only a half mile away. What a difference that half mile has made! I’ve now lost over 100 pounds and have kept it off. Thanks to my amazing wife, also a TOPS member, and my supportive, wacky and fantastic chapter, TOPS 785 Clifton Park, I will take off those pounds and keep them off!

We need to get back on the right track. Enough said.
Perhaps Paulette can show us the way. She was our "Best Loser" for the week. She wants us to follow our diet and said don't skip your diet while on vacation.
Please give a TOPS welcome to our newest member, Janet!
The car wash fundraiser (for next year's SRD in Saratoga Springs) will be extended for one more week.
Chinese Auction will be held next week, the 11th.
