Local resident, Gloria Gayle, can empathize with people trying to lose weight

Gloria Gayle can empathize with people trying to lose weight.

As a member of TOPS CA 1743 in Beaumont, Gayle, now 68, joined the international weight loss organization in August 1991 with a goal of losing 17 pounds.

TOPS stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly.

It took four months to achieve that goal but it wasnt an easy feat, said Gayle, a Cherry Valley resident.

On Feb. 28, Gayle was honored by her chapter for being a 20-year KOPS, which stands for Keep Off Pounds Sensibly. Members who become KOPS have to maintain their weight within three pounds above and seven pounds below their goal.

The chapter, which meets on Tuesday evenings at Noble Creek Community Center, put together a surprise celebration for Gayle, said chapter leader Leila Weeks.

The weight recorder, Beverly Riniker, notified Gayles family about three weeks prior to the event. An arch was decorated with lights and flowers were donated by Cherry Valley Nursery.

Our goal was to make a garden-like setting, said Weeks.

Attending the celebration was Gayles daughter Kristy Cummings, of Beaumont, and two of her seven grandchildren. Her husband of 50 years, Troyce Gayle, didnt attend.

The chapter printed invitations and created a poster banner that said Congratulations Gloria. They also served punch and created a collage of pictures of Gayle during her 20 years as a KOPS.
