Guest guest Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Hi, Carol - - and welcome to the TexasTOPS site; I am new to the loop, also - - but am really enjoying the communication and support these people hand out so generously! They really have "TOPS HEARTS". I am also a new KOPS (made KOPS in May), even though I have belonged to TOPS for 25 years. I've tried every diet in the world, and have lost hundreds of pounds, but was never able to stick to anything that I could really call a "lifestyle" change until January of this year when I got on The South Beach Diet. It is GOOD/LOW FAT & GOOD/LOW CARB, and allows me to eat most of the foods I like! I can even have snacks that no other diet allows! The secret is finding something that works for YOU - - - ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Clara Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted September 14, 2004 Carol, Weight Watcher's will definitely work if you stay with their program. I haven't seen a plan in many years, but friends tell me that it has changed a lot from when I went 20 years ago!! Their point system sounds easier, if that's what they are still doing. How is your friend doing with the South Beach diet? Some in my chapter tried it - some liked it as much as I do, and some hated it - - so that's the reason you have to find what works for you individually - and stick with it!! Also, I walk about 45 minutes every day except Sunday, and I think that helps a lot! TOPS (((((((HUGS)))))))) Clara Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
