If weight loss is your goal, there’s a support group in Bluffton ready to help you.

Bluffton TOPS, which means Take Off Pounds Sensibly, is that group.

Three members of the group achieved state-wide recognition for their weight loss, according to Tana O’Donnell, TOPS coordinator.

Their stories are amazing.
