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.

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!
