Slimming Clubs?

Have any of you thought about joining a slimming club? My friend lost 5.5 pounds this week on Slimming world and has been losing really well consistantly. Actually she is doing much better than I am. I only lost that much in one week in the early days first out after wls. So I'm thinking of joining her to try and get this weight moving again. What do you think?

I've never heard of a slimming club. sounds interesting.. what is the concept behind it.

What is it? What is it? Sounds interesting...do tell...

Weigh****chers type thing - I'm surprised you've never heard of them. Before wls over the years I've tried them all. Not sure if I want to go back to that weigh in, sit through a class type thing and be on a 'diet', but hey, if it works...

I belong to TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) ... we have a weekly meeting and weigh in. I've belonged for years so these people have seen me through my biggest, through surgery, and now my smallest. They are a GREAT group of people and we all support each other in whatever journey we are on. I love going to my weekly meetings ... I'm even the Secretary for our group and have been for 3 years. It's my break during the week and I enjoy it! Deanna

Do they know about the wls? What do they think/say? I never used to stay for the meetings much, but they say thats mostly what helps rather than the diet they give you. I guess being a part of it, like you gives an incentive to keep at it. Do you follow the prescribed diet they give or do you own thing?

Hi Ruth! Yes, they know about my wls and they are very supportive! TOPS doesn't have a special diet they make you follow ... they kind of encourage a portion control/american heart association type of diet. But they let you follow whatever diet plan works for you. Deanna

Its worth a try! let us know how it goes for you if you join.
