<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I joined reddit a little over a year ago because I read about someone who used r/loseit to lose a ton of weight.  I stuck with the calorie counting and exercise for a while, but eventually stopped.  I'm sure my flair is no longer correct, but I haven't weighed myself in ages, so I have no idea.  I have decided again to get serious about weight loss.  Last time, it was hard because my roommate wasn't doing it with me.  However, both of us went to our first TOPS meeting tonight, and she really liked it.  I liked it too.  We have to get notes from a medical professional setting our goal weight, but otherwise, how we lose the weight is up to us.  For me, just being held accountable each week at a weigh in is going to help TONS.  Also, I'm hoping this will inspire my roommate to cook healthier options on her nights to cook.  I think this could be good for both of us.  She recently had to buy all new clothes because her old ones were too small.  She thought perhaps they had shrunk (she's learning disabled and possibly mildly ID), so I had to explain nicely that her clothes hadn't shrunk, but she had grown--and not taller.
<bot>: My roommate and I went to TOPS tonight for the first time. I'm hoping this will hold us both accountable for our weight, and will help my roommate make healthier choices when it's her turn to cook.
