I am a drop out from Tops and ashamed of going back. I gained thirty pounds since I dropped out and could not exercise. Just recently I have lost 16 pounds and I am trying to get down to the weight that I dropped out as. I will keep reading all your messages as I hope to rejoin soon.

You are making me consider re-joining, too! I have gained about 40 lbs. since leavings TOPS! Ack! I lost about 16 last summer and have gained back 10 of those. So frustrating. I want to get out and start walking again regularly, but we have been having such soggy weather in the Midwest, I'm not accomplishing my walks!
I was considering joining the TOPS online program...have you checked it out? You get the monthly TOPS magazines, etc..., but you don't have to attend the weekly meetings. Although, the weekly meetings did give me greater incentive to stay on program during the week, I think. Good Luck and let us know what you decide!

Hi to both of you. Don't be afraid to rejoin TOPS now. This is when you need the support the most and no one should be ashamed of you. In fact, I betcha that virtually all of us.... and them have backslid.....I know I have in the past! Get back and hold those pretty heads high!!! It's best to rejoin NOW before you start losing more weight so you will be eligible for at least division awards if you lose at least 10#'s by the end of the year.

Don't forget that if you just join on line, you still would have to have a chapter weigh in before you could be eligible for awards. Private, home scales do not count....so why not get to a meeting soon!!!

Welcome back to TOPS!!!!!!!!!

Join Now Join Now
As Summer said You need to join now. Now is when you need TOPS the most. Do not be ashamed. I have lost and "gained 50# 2 times since I joined. I am on the way back down now. But if I had not stayed in TOPS I would have gained more. Your TOPS members understand. No one will make you feel bad. I bet they will be thrilled to see you come back. Hope you decide to rejoin. It can only help you.

By all means, rejoin!

Now is the time you need encouragement and motivation. You will be accepted back with no questions ask! Everyone in TOPS has had setbacks and will understand. TOPS members are the most supportive bunch of gals and guys and will be there for you. Don't wait to join until you've lost some weight. Who knows, you might be a chapter winner or state winner, but what ever, YOU WILL BE A WINNER!

Let us hear from you and how you are doing!

The only other time I lost a lot of weight was when I was in tops. I enjoy the competetion. I thrive on it!

I rejoined again...I'm goining on my third week. So far I've lost 6 pounds, started regular excercising.

I'm not much of a joiner and my group isn't all that competetive. But it works for me!

GO BACK

by all means, RE-JOIN TOPS!
