I have an issue I am just going to throw out for suggestions. I have had a LOT of people at work say something along the lines of Id love to join a weight loss support group, but Im always busy with the kids in the evenings. Ive talked to a couple people about having a TOPS chapter at work to gauge interest. The few people I have spoken to were very enthusiastic about it. Working parents often dont have the time to take an evening of me time, so fitting it in during a lunch hour works perfect. However, the issue is that if I have it during our lunch hour, that is the time our employer gives us to actually EAT. And the TOPS rules say that you cannot eat during meetings. I discussed it with my Area Captain and was told that an option was to get my employer to administer the chapter and collect the dues and pay our fees and such. However, my employer is the Government of Canada, so you can imagine the red tape it would take to get that approved. Just getting support from the Wellness Committee was difficult as As the government we cannot support one weight loss program over another. So that option seems out. I just dont think Id have much luck getting people together during the lunch hour if they cannot have their lunch.
