Diets & Weight Maintenance Support Group

here is the new way to figure out your points (its the momentum plan) i PERSONALLY FOUND IT GAVE ME TOO MANY POINTS, BUT I DONT HAVE THE OLD WAY.
ok...so
1. write down the first two didgets of your weight.. so if you are 120, you write down 12..
2.if you are female give yourself 2 points
if you are male you get 8
3.how old are you?
17-26 you get 4 points
27-37 you get 3 points
38-47 you get 2 points
48-58 you get 1 point
over 58 you get 0 points
4. how tall are you?
under 5'1-you get 0 points
5'1-5'10 you get1 point
over 5'10 you get 2 points
5.Do you spend most your day....
sitting- you get 0 points
occasionally sitting, but mainly standin- you get 2 point
walking most the time- you get 4 points
doing physical hard work- you get 6 points
6 nursing moms only....
solely breastfeeding- 10 points
supplementing breastfeeding with some solid foods or formulat- 5 points

so add all that up like this

1. ___ ___
2. ___
3. ___
4. ___
5. ___
6.+ ___ ___

Good luck with your weigh loss.

ya thats the "old plan" they have the new momentum plan, it allows more points, becasue they said that they are finding that the previous plan wasnt working for some becasue it was putting some people's bodies into starvation mode so they wern't losing weight. Im personally going by the old plan, i think the new one allows too many points, but thats just me

I don't know about the new or old plan. I just know it is what I use and I lose weight on the plan I have. Just trying to help.

I appreciate all the info about the ponts and wish both ladies the best of luck with their wt loss. I am gonna check out Tops and hopefully there is one local.

Just go to the internet and type in TOPs.com and you will get there site. And from there you can find the nearest meeting near you. Good luck

Actually it is http://www.tops.org/default.aspx not .com My group is a great group. Hope you find a good one. It is so much easier with support.

I did find a tops very near my home and will be checking it out. What are the positives for Tops besides the money?

i just went on tops website and i found one in my area. im considering joining. but i want to see if there is one in media pa to since that is where i will be living next year.but yeah they sound really good and it has inspired me to get in shape and lose this extra weight. thanks for the info on tops i seriously appreciate it.
