TOPS Club Inc. is an organization that aims to help people across the country lose weight in healthy ways. The Solvay Public Library in New York state hosts weekly weight loss group meetings. The group's facilitator, Deborah Waters, has lost over 40 lbs. since joining TOPS around two years ago. Waters credits the accountability of the weekly meetings and individual members for their success. The focus on building small habits, like staying hydrated and getting enough sleep, can help make a bigger change. Jane Burrell, a Syracuse University nutrition professor, believes that weight loss groups like these help people become healthier due to their social component.
