Evelyn Kurys knows what’s it like to manage the healthy-lifestyle see-saw: to lose a tonne of weight at one time, to fall off the wagon at another time, and to get back on track at yet another time. She has embraced a healthy lifestyle since she was 29 years old. And when a chance arose for her to be part of a community of like-minded individuals called TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), she readily signed up. That was on November 3, 1973, the day the TOPS-Spirit River chapter was formed.
