Coos Bay woman loses 88.4 pounds through local non-profit, named 2025 division winner
Losing weight can seem intimidating, especially when you consider that more than 1 in 3 American adults is obese, and Oregon has an obesity rate of 33.5%. Obesity can cause an array of medical conditions, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. People can achieve weight loss and overall wellness by committing to a healthier lifestyle. For instance, Sheila Nesbit of Coos Bay lost 88.4 pounds in 2025 through the non-profit Take Off Pounds Sensibly (TOPS ), a non-commercial weight-loss, education, and support organization. As a result of her weight loss, Nesbit was recognized by the organization as a Division-2 second-place winner. The Division-2 category is for an adult member whose starting weight was at least 250 pounds but less than 300 pounds. “Over the years, I have been in and out of different TOPS chapters. When I first started with TOPS, I never thought becoming a KOPS was within my grasp. I had way too much weight to lose,” wrote Nesbit. “I reached my highest weight in 2019 of almost 400 pounds. My health was beginning to be affected due to my obesity. In 2024, I was in a wheelchair and using a walker.
