Honored for weight loss

MEMBERS from TOPS
Chapters (Take Off Pounds
Sensibly) from the North
Shore recently attended a
Rally Day held in Killarney
School, Vancouver, where a
North Van member was
honored.

TOPS boasts of many suc-
cessful members who have
Taken Off Pounds Sensibly,
and Bob Oliver from North
Vancouver is one of them.

Bob lost 59.5 Ibs. in 1979

to become the Provincial
Runner-Up King. Oliver has
maintained that loss for five
consecutive years, and was
honored with the presenta-
tion of a ruby lapel pin made
by Yvette Marchand, Area
Coordinator.

Oliver was encouraged to
jon TOPS by his oldest
daughter, Agnes, who was
already a member. He often
jokes that at his heaviest he
thought he would have to get

his mext sui from a
manufacturer.

Bob Oliver maintains that
there are three things that
help him keep his weight off.
Firstly is the support of his
wife and family, secondly 1s
the regular weigh-in and sup-
port of his Chapter, and
thirdly is the visual reminder
of his trophies as Provincial
and Rally Day King.

TOPS 1s a non-profit, non-
commercial weight control
organization founded in 1948

Accepting self and size

FEELING BAD about
yourself because of a weight
problem? Don’t. That’s the
advice of Jann Gibbs and
Paul Talbot, co-founders of
Big, Bold and Beautiful.

Both Gibbs and Talbot
suffered with weight pro-
blems over the years, up and
down like a roller coaster but
the key is to accept yourself
as you are, love yourself, give
yourself positive strokes each
day and associate yourself
with people who have a high
self-image of themselves. In
other words, think positive
not negative.

Your weight will not disap-
pear overnight but with Big,
Bold and Beautiful you will
have an opportunirly to meet,
talk, exchange, contribute
and share with other men and
women from all walks of life,
and remember, you all have
one thing tn common. -
weight — so whal a greal way
to meet new frends and sup

port services.

The first reception meeting
will be held on Wednesday,
Nov. 7 at the Holiday Inn
Harbourside, Vancouver
with guest speakers Sharon
Dorais of BlancheMacDonald
Modelling & Talent School,

Jann Gibbs on New Options.

be there for those wishing to
share their services relating to

improvement etc. Planned
