CORE program: successful?
Hi-- my wife just joined WW (again) and will be following the CORE program. She
loves the idea of not journaling everything, and accounting for every mouthful. How successful have people been with this program, as opposed to the "old" style program? Thanks. ****************************** Got wood? Check out my exotic hardwood pennywhistles at fair prices...http://www.Busmanwhistles.com |
I think it works better for me than Flex did. Over the summer a lot of junk
food crept into my menus. Empty points because they were available. Core helped eliminate this junk plus got me losing weight again. I was recently at my mother's for 10 days. It was hard to follow core 100%. I did the best that I could and just made sure that I only ate until satisfied (not full). I managed to come home weighing only 1 extra pound. That pound is now off after 2 days of strict core eating. My scale is back to where it was the morning I left. It works for me. If your wife can follow the plan then it is worth the effort. I have seen some outstanding losses on this plan. It does take a lot of extra planning and preparation (where I fall down) but those that do really lose nicely on this plan.

I think you should re-read your above paragraph - particularly, the next time you get involved in worrying about or dealing with whether or not something is strictly core and how to count it if there is a question. Clearly, coming CLOSE to CORE worked quite well those 10 days. So, once again, we all learn that perfection is not always "perfectly" necessary. You did a great job. A pound fluctuation is normal and is Maintenance. Congrats Thanks Fred. I think that is the other reason that I like Core. It is easier to stay OP even when I over eat. As long as I stick with the basic core list of foods I am okay. I do fine until someone puts chips in front of me which my daughter did for NYE.

success varies from person to person, it is not for me but many on this
group are doing better than they did on flex, best of luck, Lee BREWERPAUL wrote in message ... Hi-- my wife just joined WW (again) and will be following the CORE program.

This brings me to thinking that losing on flex is better for me but maybe
when I get to goal core might work better, Lee, who maintained fine while trying core Fred wrote in message ...
