Hi all...I joined TOPS three weeks ago, and have lost 13 pounds so far.
I just watch my fat intake. If I had to count calories, I'd go crazy. I've been the weekly winner (loser) at our TOPS chapter every week that I've gone. I love the encouragment and the fact that I have to weigh in every week. |

Hi my name is Mattie and I just found this site on the web. I was a member of TOPS for awhile and I lost 35 pounds. Then I quit and put it all back on over 5 years. I've been thinking of joining again because the support with TOPS is wonderful and it's a lot of fun. I would highly recommend it.

Hi everyone. I joined TOPS last fall. You really must go to a couple of meetings with different groups. The groups are made up of all different ages and genders. Mostly women. We have a young married couple who just joined and both of them are going to have gastric bypass surgery. The girl had hers a couple of weeks age and her husband is going to have his in a few weeks. They joined because they will need support. It is interesting to all the rest of us because we have never known anyone on such a personal level before who has had by pass surgery. It is very interesting to hear all of what they have to go threw before and after the surgery. I also went to Weight Watchers several times. I didn't do well there. I don't seem to do well anywhere. The personal attention you receive from the other members before and during the meetings is something I never received from WW.

So welcome ... and hope you have a wonderful day... Indiacatz/Barb:cloud9:

Hello Everyone!!
Im pretty new here, but I wanted to come in and say hi to my fellow TOPS friends! I joined TOPS in December 04 and I have had such a great time going to the meetings... and I had a totally amazing time at SRD! Our group is mainly older ladies, but they are all so very supportive, and they tell my friend and I that they are happy we came and brought some youth to the group. :) I really believe that joining TOPS was one of the best things I could have ever done for myself, it keeps me accountable and inspires me to do better. Since I have started, I have almost lost 30 pounds! :D Tonight is our meeting night, and since aunt flo showed up today Im expecting a big gain...plus, this week I havent been doing so well with my eating either. :o But Im reading my Dr Phil book again, and Im recommiting myself to doing better (like I was when I first started!) so hopefully by the end of summer I can make it to my first big mini-goal! :D Oh... and since the bingo thing was brought up, I just wanted to mention the bingo type game we played with our group... It was called "dieto" and it was just a big bingo looking card with pound numbers in the squares... some had 1 pound, some had 1/4th, some had 2, some had 1/2 and so forth. When you weighed in, you could stamp over your squares of how much you lost. Like if someone lost 2 1/2 pounds, then they could stamp off a 2 and a 1/2 or two 1/4 blocks. There were also 3 turtle squares too. By the time someone won, they would have lost 18 pounds total. :D It was pretty fun. My only suggestion would be to make it a 10 pound loss because after a while, people kind of lost intrest. I had a lot of fun with it... and I won the totebag prize! :D Anyway... once again, just thought I would come say hi! Im looking forward to getting to know all of you guys! :) |
yay, TOPS!
It's so fun for me to hear others' experiences in their groups. My group is small; only five people. My friend and I joined at the same time about six months ago, so the group size almost doubled with us there. :p The group is pretty informal about activities and topics or "rap sessions", but I think they would be open to new ideas. I might suggest we try a bingo game!

:D it's been such a long time since i've received anything from this message board. i was surprised to see a message from 3fatchicks in my e-mail box this morning! :D
|
I was wondering what TOPS was.. I went to their site and found there is a meeting every Thur 5 mins from my house! I'm going to give the lady that runs it a call and see if I can talk my mom into going with my tomorrow!! YAY :)
|
I hope to see you on here more often :wave: Let us know what you think after the meeting ;)
