A New Brunswick woman lost over 100 pounds in 13 months, and has kept it off using the TOPS or “Take Off Pounds Sensibly” system.
64 year old Suzanne Welland of Saint John is the 2016 New Brunswick Queen.
That title is given to the person who has recorded the largest weight loss from their starting weight no matter how long it takes.
Welland says weight loss is a personal journey and different for everyone, but she enjoyed the support of being with a group.
She likes the accountability that comes with these kinds of programs adding she has been dealing with weight issues since she was in her 20’s.
Like many others, Welland has tried a lot of different programs over the years and she was even hiding from her doctor fearing it would be bad news.
Since her weight loss she has gone back to the doctor and was relieved to learn she is healthy.
