What is TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly)?

TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly) is a nonprofit, noncommercial, peer-led weight loss support program founded in 1948. Unlike traditional diet programs, TOPS focuses on healthy lifestyle changes, accountability, and ongoing support rather than prescribing a specific diet plan.

Participants benefit from a structured, supportive environment designed to help them achieve sustainable weight management and long-term wellness.
