The Lighter Brigade was formed on July 28, 1998 and currently has members from across the United States and Canada.

Our members support each other daily through e-mail messages and our own private chatroom and messageboard.

Most of the members are also members of a local chapter of T.O.P.S. (Take off Pounds Sensibly) although being a member of T.O.P.S. is not required. Our aim is to offer each other help and encouragement.
