PAGE SIX A IIIT TEER RERTER FREE mw wn TOPS--Officers of TOPS take a few minutes from their BY JOAN KINGSBURY Taking off those holiday pounds? That’s what most people are trying to do now that the holiday season is over. This week, Mollie Phillips, group leader of TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly), tells us how her organization can help us to lose those extra pounds. TOPS is a non-profit weight loss organization. The local TOPS chapter was organized Dec. 2, has 33 paid members and al- ready has ‘a total weight loss of 1153 pounds. The group meets Thursday between 7 and 7:30. The meeting runs from 7:30 to 8:15 or 8:30. Members set their own diet and work toward a goal set by their doctor. "TOPS offers group sup- port, education on why the individual becomes -over- weight, and on how harm- ful weight fluctuation can be controlled. Those in- terested are able to attend their first meeting free of charge. If an individual decides to join, a yearly fee of $12 is paid to the national headquarters. Local chapters also set used for the program. Mollie became inter- ested in TOPS through her sister who has been a member for about three years. When traveling into town for a weekly meeting became difficult, Mollie. and her sister decided to open a Dallas chapter. They hope to feature speakers on various subjects to make the meetings more in- formative. A resident of Dallas, Mollie, and her husband, Frank, are the parents of two children Mamie, 4 and Matthew, 2. with two recipes, Hearty Chicken Casserole and Dutch Apple Cake.
