TOPS

For anyone that does not have a WLS support group in their area, I would like to suggest TOPS (take off pounds sensibly). TOPS is a support group for many weight loss options. In my group, we have people that are counting calories, counting points, counting carbs, and wls people. We have a weekly weigh in and games and motivational contests. There is also awards on a state and national level. We have different divisions based on your weight and others such as a teen division, preteen, and of course wls division.

Also, its very CHEAP. I only pay $24/year for membership and then monthly dues of $3. Some of the contest involve money, but again this is much cheaper that many other weight loss programs.

I am attending the state convention in Va Beach at the end of April. I can't wait to share this with all of you. I started TOPS about 6 months before surgery. They have been a great support for me.

Just wanted to share, Penny

What a great option.  I have been considering Overeaters Anonymous to help me address the emotional side of this journey.  I will also look at TOPS as a compliment to that!

Thanks
