TOPS

As we head into a wintery weekend ☃️, I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone about the fantastic TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) groups that meet in Garrett County. While we have a TON of surprises, resources, and community activities rolling out over the next few weeks on Go! Garrett County + GC In Motion, the TOPS groups that meet with our very own Amy Ritchie can provide additional support. If you’re just beginning your journey, or looking for in-person support, Amy is wonderful resource! Reach out by calling the number below, and stay tuned to Go! for two (2!) new features launching next week!

    Thanks for your support and for promoting TOPS! TOPS members in both of the Garrett County TOPS chapters have had much success so far! TWO members who joined TOPS in October 2022 when the McHenry/CARC TOPS first met, lost 15 and 21 pounds by Dec. 31, 2022! An Oakland TOPS member lost 59.6lbs. from the end of April 2022 to the end of December 2022! The support of others and the friendships made are contributing factors in the success of the local TOPS chapters!

    I really like that you are sharing all these resources, the only problem is most of them are during the day when people are working. It would be nice to have a chance to try some of them to see if that is how one can obtain their goals.

    This is a really good program. Amy has some very loyal members that are really motivated to reach their goals.
