Welcome!

I was already using the Weight Watcher's online program when my sister-in-law asked me if I'd go with her to join TOPS (a non-profit weight-loss group, Taking Off Pounds Sensibly).  I've been a member of TOPS before so I agreed.  I knew we could both use the support.  At first I thought I'd just continue using the Points Plus program, but seeing the TOPS diet is built on the Food Exchange Plan made me interested in re-visiting this method of dieting.  I had really good success with that plan in the past.  
The Points Plus system is easy to figure out, apparently too easy for me since I tend to include many foods that are in the gray area of healthy.  This has probably led to my sad looking weight loss so far.  
So, I've decided to jump on the Food Exchanges diet bandwagon to see if I can mirror my success of past years and I am going to journal my progress here. I also hope I can help you, my readers, with inspiration, tips, recipes, and more along the way!  So let's get started Winning the Weighting Game!
