Chapter meetings Chapters hold weekly meetings and include a private weigh in with the weight recorder. Following the weigh in, the members meet for a group meeting. Often members take turns presenting a simple program. Sometimes guest speakers are invited. Both daytime and evening meetings are available.
Most TOPS chapters offer rewards for weight loss.
Contests and other incentive programs offer motivation and encouragement. Awards and recognition are also offered at the area, state, national and international levels. Goal weight reached Once a member has achieved his or her weight loss goal and has maintained the loss for a period of time, they are eligible for KOPS status. KOPS stands for Keeping Off Pounds Sensibly. A monthly magazine, TOPS News is sent to each paid member.
