It was nightmare status. and even odder is I never binge like that. If I
get on a "one food" kick it is eaten until it is gone but not in a hurry or in large quantities at a sitting. just normal portions until it is gone, Lee Laura wrote in message ... OMG what a bad dream. "Miss Violette" wrote in message ... LOL, I like it so well I woke up the other night in a panic, I dreamed they brought back the "all you can eat" special and I ate it until I was at my starting weight, Lee Willow wrote in message om... *note to self* If Lee ever visit take her to the Olive Garden down the street *grin* -- Will~ The problem with this world is stupidity, now I'm not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem solve itself? "Miss Violette" wrote in message ... the whole wheat choice I get is the linguini with marina sauce. You can substitute it for any pasta. some of their sauces are quite high points. I get it and the sauce on the side. I think it is very low point but I like to control sauces. They have a "garden" menu with nutrition listed. I get the minestrone soup. It used to be one point per bowl but is now two and an excellent starter. The salad is good just get the dressing on the side, and some have ff dressings. their chicken breast is usually good. I can't speak to their red meats as I rarely eat those in restaurants. DH gets a dish there that has peppers in it but I think it is pork, I am trying the salmon next time, and I usually get the eggplant parmesan and substitute the whole wheat pasta. Lee, can you tell I like this place??? Laura wrote in message ... Oh good. I have been dying to try that place. We went to an Italian restaurant last night. No whole wheat pasta there. I ended up with filet mignon and a baked pototoe (used milk not butter) for a total core dinner. "Miss Violette" wrote in message ... since you brought it up, Olive garden has whole wheat pasta now, Lee Laura wrote in message ... I'm with you 100%. I am journaling and counting my points both under the Flex plan as well as for Core. I am eating healthier and feeling better everyday. I've lost .8 and hope for an equal or better loss next Saturday. I get an extra 5 days next week because I go from a Tuesday PM WI to a Saturday AM WI. Tonight's dilemma is dinner. Italian. This should be interesting. "Willow" wrote in message . com... I hear ya.. What I do is that I try to eat mostly out of the core list.. and the things I eat that are "non core" I choose carefully.. but I still trak and count the points.. so it IS flex plan.. but with a little core twist.. works for me too. Since I've started doing that I feel more in control and solid.. ) For me the good side of core is that it helps me making better choices.. I also re-evaluate my "am I hungry" feeling everytime I go for food.. made me more aware of that.. and I am staying within my point easily since I started doing that *blush* But me being me I can't do without traking.. maybe it's just a mind thing.. but then Weight loss is a mind thing isn't it ? That's what works for me, doesn't mean it'd work for others.. I do know that there are some really successful members who are following the core plan.. That great actually.. something for everybody ;o) -- Will~ The problem with this world is stupidity, now I'm not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem solve itself? "Miss Violette" wrote in message ... I really do prefer the eating style of core but it may have to give way to the need to journal. I want to give it a fair chance as I think it is ideal for traveling and eating out, Lee Willow wrote in message om... Nobody HAS TO go core.. it's a good plan.. I've heard good comments and ravings from lots of members.. but if it doesn't fit you.. then flex is still good.. I know I still use it.. -- Will~ The problem with this world is stupidity, now I'm not saying there should be capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off everything and let the problem solve itself? "Miss Violette" wrote in message ... these are some of my issues. I am also dealing with not journaling as an acceptable concept. I think I feel out of control when I am not writing it down. Lee, still working it out frood wrote in message m... I lost 2 pounds last week. Like Laura, I did not increase my portion size - I was happy the way that was, but I did switch from 1 pt boca burgers to 2-3 pt veggie burgers, and from egg substitutes to real eggs, so I think my point count is probably up. Unlike Laura, however, I don't see that I'm eating "heathier". I'm eating the same amount of veggies, the same amount of wine/beer. What's gone (or greatly reduced) is the whole wheat bread, tortillas, english muffins. I don't see any of those foods as unhealthy, just a different type of food. I do think the higher protein/lower carb ratio did help break me out of a plateau, so I'm sticking with it for another week (or maybe more). I cannot see myself staying on this plan as a life choice, so I'm sure I'll go back to the Flex Points plan. My one problem with the Core Foods plan is the lack of tools for tracking those 35 points. Sure there's a little note pad, but it's a pain - it doesn't reset each day. And, my recipies that I've entered aren't showing up in the calculator search, so I can't figure points on those if I have more (or less) than one serving. You also have to reset the 35 points back to zero yourself, and figure your own activity points. -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm de-fang email address to reply "Eaton Wings" wrote in message ... ...but is anyone here having success on it yet?
