I know the Core Program is new...

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..

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?

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.

Lee, I am doing the Core program but I am still journaling just like I did
under Flex. I will never give up that part of WW. Like you, I need to
journal to keep on track. I have 2 columns- one is for Flex and the other
tracks those that count as part of the 35 allowance.

You could always create your own type of journal. One that you will be
comfortable with. Maybe in excel or in a notebook. I agree with you about
journaling. My problem is that I tend to eat too much if I don't write
things down. I think I have more points left over than I really do.

It isn't the menus but that sheet sounds interesting, it is the not
journaling. I feel completely out of control without journaling and end
not
eating enough. I finally started writing it down and I think I have
figured
out a way to use the flex journal to do the core program so I am going to
try for at least another week and maybe up to four weeks total before I
decide. Lee

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
