“It’s similar to like a weight watchers. \u00a0We call each other to check in we send each other cards. We meet once a week for about an hour… we weigh in and then we celebrate our losses and celebrate our wins,” said Coyner.<\/p>\n
That dedication earned her a special honor. Suzanne was named the 2025 Pennsylvania State Queen for TOPS, \u00a0which recognized the member who lost the most weight from their highest recorded weight to their goal.<\/p>\n
Now she’s sharing her award-winning secrets with us.<\/p>\n
\u00a0“Start small. Small changes make a big impact. You won’t think they will, but they do. \u00a0You didn’t put the weight on in one day, and you’re not going to take it off in a day,” she said.<\/p>\n
She still enjoys dessert, just in moderation and she focuses on building habits she can stick with for life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You may not see the scale move, but you can see changes in your body and how your clothes fit. \u00a0Take your time,” Coyner said.<\/p>\n
She hopes her story reminds anyone starting their own journey that even the smallest changes can lead to life-changing results.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Coyner says her next goal isn’t losing more weight, it’s getting stronger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
