A Moncton woman has been recognized for her weight loss efforts, and inspiring others to do the same.
Cynthia Thurber was recently crowned 2014 New Brunswick Queen by the TOPS organization. TOPS stands for Taking Off Pounds Sensibly.
She has lost over 80 pounds, but it took around two years to do it and she had her up and downs on the scale. For anyone who is currently on the weight loss roller coaster, she has this advice, “Don’t give up.”
Thurber says she cut out things like pop, and fried foods, and she now does a lot of portion control. She also started exercising.
She is now at her goal weight, and will work to maintain it with the support she receives from her family and other members of TOPS.
