Is TOPS for me?

  • I'm a college student on campus, and looking for support. A set diet plan like WW isn't for me at this time, but I would love to connect to a support group. Someone suggested TOPS, and there's a meeting close to here.

    The only thing is...I'm a college student. When I went to WW meetings here, I was the youngest by 15-20 years. And thats fine, but it limits my support, because there's only so much we can relate on.

    I'm afraid TOPS is the same. I suppose it doesn't hurt to go to the initial meeting...but I'm so tired of trying more new things.
  • hi Tunafish,

    I ynderstand what your thinking. Each TOPS chapter is differnt. I'm 35 and the youngest in my group. I would suggest you go and try it out. I love my TOPS group they are more like family then a group

    I hope this helps

    I was in TOPS for a couple years and decided I didn't want to be there anymore. I too was the youngest by far and was 33 yrs old. I find the best place for support is online at places like this. That way you can come on when ever you are able to and post away.
  • I'm 36 and the youngest of five in my group. The majority of members at my chapter are in their 40s. I like it ... age doesn't matter to me in terms of support. It's economically feasible enough to stay in it for as long as you need to, lending itself to a healthy rate of weight loss.
