Ok I am new to this website and it seems like a really cool place

I am wanting to lose weight (of course) and have alot to lose!
It is actually interesting how I found this site, I was looking online under partylite (which I am a pl consultant) and there was an old conversation that came up about partylite that was on this message board.

So I don't know what all the rules are but my interest in this site is two fold, one to get to know people and get support for weight loss and to hear from other pl consultants and to find our if there are gals in my area that know and love partylite.

Ok so hopefully you all can give me words of wisdom. I am not online much but will keep track of replies.

Jana.. You have come to the right site for support.. this particular forum is Tops and we are basically a support group Just jump r ight in and tell us about yourself.. I am in New York, Leroy 1071 and am the coleader there.. Are you curerntly a Tops member??? have a wonderful day and check out all the forums... India

Hello,
Welcome to the board. TOPS stands for Take off Pounds Sensibly. Are you are current TOPS member? If you have never heard of TOPS you can check it out at www.tops.org

You stated that you have a lot to loose. A lot of us do. How much are you wanting to loose. What type of plan are you following?

India suggessted to check out all the forums. That is a very good idea. I post here as well as The Race to 199. I find a lot of encourgement in both places.

I hope to see you around.

HI,

I am new too. Well actually I am old..to both 3FC and TOPS. My last post here was 2001, but I am still on MSN with a great friend I made on this site. I am also "old" to TOPS..I was even a chapter leader, division winner etc, BUT fell off the wagon, got sick etc..but no excuses. I am back to both, and looking forward to it. I have 95 pounds to lose, but I prefer to think I have 5 to lose (then five more...and so on....)95 sounds SOO daunting. Anyhow, am open to new friends, especially TOPS friends. BTW I am reading Superfoods RX..OMG what a plan..eat food that is good for you....now there is a concept.

Hi! I'm new too (I actually just joined about 10 minutes ago!). But this seems like a really great place and I'm sure there are tons of people who can give you encouragement and advice on whatever plan you're using to lose. Good luck!

Oh Wow...I get to roll out the welcome rug...........I have been posting here for a few months... and in Tops for about 5 yrs .. .w elcome aboard..........India

Hi - i'm new too. How do you join a group?

For the first time in my life that I can remember, I actually cried about my weight. Don't know if that is because it is so bad, or that I finally got cured from having the opposite of anorexia ....I would look in a mirror and think I am thin! BUT..I am here...AND I am going back to TOPS again this week....and I have friends who love me, and a man who loves me....I think he has the same anti-anorexia glasses as I did! LOL. I guess I should be looking around to see what boards I want to follow, cause officially, having read the posts, I ain't the newest anymore LOL.

Thanks everyone for the kind welcome.

I am familar with TOPS my mom was part of that group for a number of years and I was part of one as well. I am starting a new week. In 124 days I will be 30 (I had been dreading it but told my husband now I am looking forward to it--that this is my year) and my goal is to have 50lbs off by then. That is a small start since I have more than that to lose but hey its a start!
One thing I have to do it get my mind off of food being my FIRST priority. I am a Christian so my first priority is God then my family. But here it is that piece of cake, that second helping or whatever it may be, taking hold of my life. Well girls I say NO MORE. We can do it!
My grandfather had a saying that has stuck with me all these years, if it is to be it is up to me!

Lets reach our goals in 2006.

You've come to a good place. If you like, you may fill out your bio in the biography sticky at the top part of this page. Just copy the questions, answer with your info and post.

Are you going to TOPs now? If not, I would really encourage you to look up a chapter close to you. I know, for me, weighing in every week keeps me accountable! The site "TOPS.org" lists chapters by location.

So welcome again. Post often so that we can get to know you better.

Just read your entry from yesterday. It's ok to cry...really, but once you stop, and take a deep breath, do what you said and go back to TOPs. Really. I've dropped out and returned at least 3 times in the past 7 years.

Sounds like you have some loving support around you. Be thankful..post often...keep the faith!!

Lyn

To join this group, all you need to do is post whenever you like.

TOPs is a non-profit weight loss support group that has chapters all over the US and Canada. To find a chapter near you, go to www.TOPS.org and look for a local chapter. Basically, once you join you go to weekly weigh-ins and support meetings. It's fun and a good "weigh" to keep accountable and make friends who are also dropping pounds.

Post agian soon.

Lyn

Welcome to all the new people.. Lyn has done a good job letting you know about this board and Tops.org... I hope you post often India
