Dottie, I am surprise no one has mentioned the TOPS organization...Take off Pounds Sensibly...take a look at
www.tops.org and yes there is a group that meets in your town. Yearly membership is $28.00 ...monthly dues is usually under $5.00...it is all about accountability and encouragement. Weekly weigh ins and encouragement. There is not a "single" diet or weight plan offered, but you choose what works for you, turn in a weekly menu (optional) and listen to programs about a variety of plans or menus that educate and enlighten you and give you hope. Sometimes there are incentive games for losing and alway healthy living stressed. I am the weight recorder in our group, have been in it for several years, and lost over 45 pounds. Now to get busy on the next 50...lol. These groups also have local rallys and state and national gatherings which are great. Good luck.
