Hi Susie
Thanks for the info on TOPS. There's nothing local, that's why I ended up doing WW online, and now SP online. I live in a rural area, in the middle of nowhere! lol And SP seems to be working for me right now!

Hi MARJR,

I am combining Sparkpeople and TOPS..I have joined TOPS before a long time ago and lost a lot of weight. It is only 28 a year to join and most clubs the dues are only a dollar a week.
I think being accountable helps us lose weight..Good Luck.

Hey there! I'm pretty new at this myself. I completely understand your roller coaster ride 'cause I've been on my own. I'm definately ready to get myself together. Welcome aboard & maybe we can help each other figure this out.

Marj I have found this site to be absolutely amazing! I am thankful every day that it is free. As much as I have used the resourses here I am surprised that anybody would pay for WW or any other similar program. Let me know if I can help in any way.

Hi everyone!
I joined SP in December, and am still learning things here!
A little about me--
I had been trying to lose weight for 10 years with different diets, joined WW, etc., and nothing seemed to work for me until about 3 years ago, when I got my wii, and lost 5 pounds in a couple of months, but then I stalled. So I joined WW again, and managed to lose 30 pounds over a year and a half, when they changed the program :(. I gained about 6 pounds in 2-3 months, and then nothing up or down for another 10 months, and figured I can "not lose weight" for free on my own, without paying the monthly WW fee. lol
When I heard about SP I thought I'd give it a try, and so far I've lost that 6 pounds, and am back to where I was when WW changed their program. I'm hoping I'll continue to lose another 20 pounds, which would make my doctor happy. And another 10-20 pounds, which would make ME happy.
Good luck to everyone on their journey to better health!
Marj
