We also had a member that reached KOPS status in 2018.
Rick Raitto had a 23 lb loss to goal. He is our Chapter King!
During the rose ceremony, Rick gave each member a yellow rose, as a promise to support and cheer on all of us as we work towards our goal.
Last weekend during State Recognition Day (SRD) Rick was crowned State King of Massachusetts!
He thanked our members and said he couldn’t have done it without our support. He praised member Ellen’s words of wisdom to help him lose the last few pounds that got him to goal. Ellen told him to ditch the bread at lunch, instead roll the sandwich fillings into a lettuce leaf for a low carb alternative. A simple, yet effective weight loss strategy.
Congratulations, Rick! You are an inspiration to our Chapter as you Keep Off Pounds Sensibly!
