I posted somewhere else and someone who replied to me mentioned she'd joined Tops to help her lose weight. I actually had a friend a few years ago who was regularly attending meetings...

So this got me thinking, maybe I should check it out? I went to the website, and found a local place where meetings are held. I called the "Area Captain" and left a messege letting her know who I was and that I was interestd in some more information, haven't heard from her yet.

Well, you know, it's the age of instant gratification, and I'm not getting any! Lol* So I thought I'd hop on here and ask you ladies what it's all about. How does it work? What's it cost? Can anyone join? Do you think it's really helpful?

I appreciate anyone who has a minute to fill me in! Thanks!

Go to top of this thread and read the one that says TOPS. It answers most of your questions.It is a weight loss support group. Go to one of meetings in your area and see how you like it. First visit is free. Sorry the area capt did not call you back.But don't let that keep you from checking out tops.A lot of us here have just been busy but several of us are officers from all over the united states. Visit here too. Gotta go Hubby waiting

Hey thanks so much...checked out the post on Tops and that helped much. Also the Area Captain I called returned my call this afternoon, was very nice and I'll be on my way to my first Tops meeting this Monday! Thanks!

Hi and Welcome!

I hope you enjoy your first TOPS meeting. I know that having a local group to go to and weigh-in once a week has helped me a lot.

Let's us know how your first meeting went.

Looking forward to seeing you on the boards.
