@gingerw There used to be TOPS chapter around here but I think they closed. That's "Take Off Pounds Sensibly", isn't it? I have always gone my own way, using myfitnesspal to track what I eat, tracking my weight daily on an excel sheet, and getting to my health club quite a few days a week. I have to admit, right now I am having a very difficult time getting back to the discipline I had when I lost a considerable amount of weight, but every day I vow will be different so hopefully, they will all begin to get that way. I am good about the exercise, but am having a great of difficulty avoiding temptations. When I was doing great and really gung-ho about it all I brought some of my sheets from myfitnesspal to my doctor and told him if he had patients who were looking to lose weight, that I found it to be a huge help. He said he did, but none of them had the determination that I had, which I did at that point.
