A local resident has shed 154 pounds through the nonprofit organization TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), earning him the title of 2024 TOPS Michigan King and the international TOPS King honor.
Mike Prince credits his success to support from fellow members, portion control, and regular exercise. Officials with the organization say his journey highlights the effectiveness of TOPS, which emphasizes lifelong lifestyle changes rather than dieting.
In 2024, Michigan TOPS members collectively lost nearly 20,000 pounds. Founded in 1948, TOPS has supported thousands nationwide and in Canada, promoting accountability and community support for weight management. A fall 2023 survey shows that more than half of members cite accountability as a key reason for joining.
TOPS is open to individuals of all ages and backgrounds, emphasizing the importance of sustainable health habits.
