Do you know that 5 pounds extra increases the risk of developing hip and knee arthritis?

Take Off Pounds Sensibly (Tops) meets at Dunbar Community Centre Thursday mornings. It is similar to Weight Watchers, but is non-profit and very inexpensive. Despite exercising a lot, Steacy has been stealing too many of her sons cookies, and is having to squeeze into her clothes this year. Tops offers great support. We will keep you posted on her progress – new clothes, or weight loss?

For more information, or to find what Steacy thought of her TOPS experience, visit the Go!Physiotherapy clinic in the Jericho Beach / Dunbar area of Vancouver!
