There is a gal at work that had tried to get me into her TOPS group. I had gone in Gig Harbor, WA and wasn't impressed with their girl scout type vests they put patches on and condescending "we're glad you came" they gave to the members who maintained or gained weight. I don't do well with that type of group. Anyway, this gal has slowly gained weight over the course of the year. She eats a "healthy" looking lowfat lunch every day. She has turned her nose up at my diet saying that TOPS doesn't support it as it isn't a safe or healthy way to loose weight. Funny, my weight and cholesterol levels have gone down-what could I be doing to my body? I'm sticking with Atkins.
