I have recorded my new weight loss! I am so proud to be back down to what my doctor considers a healthy weight for me. In August last year I joined a local TOPS club because I was struggling with the weight I had gained since reaching my goal in 2013. I hate meetings and after the first meeting I thought, This isn't going to work. I stuck with it and attended the meetings. The club didn't insist on any particular diet so I have kept with low cal-low carb. I have found that some of the other members prefer this type of program. The whole idea to me is to be accountable and try to find a program that works for me. You would be surprised to know how much having to weigh-in on a weekly basis and announce whether you have lost or gained has helped.

74.6 kg Lost so far: 16.6 kg. Still to go: 0 kg. Diet followed: Reasonably Well.

Congratulations so much. How do you plan to keep at this weight? I have experience with that part being very hard. Are you continuing the IOPS maybe that will keep you motivated?

Congratulations!! I find announcing to this group any weight gains I have to be painful. LMAO!!! So I don't post them, I post the losses. I am determined and sticking with FatSecret always helps me (plus low carb).

Belonging to a group is always helpful. Congratulations on getting down to your goal weight.

I might look into that here (TOPS). Congratulations!

Thank you my friends for the positive input. You help as much as the TOPS program.

Talk about “fat shaming”. a program that has you weigh in front of a group and announce a gain/loss is what I call the epitome of fat shaming and doesn’t sound very therapeutic..

The FS approach of logging it is good. Log/don’t log— read/don’t read. The data is there for your records and accountability.

The Tops club doesn't fat shame. When you gain all they say is "It's a beginning of a brand new week and we are glad you are here."

Maintaining is just as hard as the losing part. I have failed at maintaining many times. How do I plan to do it? For now I am continueing at Tops, but this time I will be a KOPS, (Keep off pounds Sensibly) I might try the exchange program and zero in at 1600-1700 calories per day and about 50-60 carbs.
