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

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.


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

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.

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.
