Calling all CORE people!

[anniet]

Hey All -

I just started Weight Watchers Core Plan, and I just KNOW I'm going to have lots of questions.

Anybody got any tips? Anything it took you a while to figure out that you'd like to pass along?

Or just say Hi so I know who the Core people are, (okay, and who to pm when I'm stuck! )

And how much have you lost on Core?

Thanks!

Core person here...on day 2...lol! I was a flexer, but wanted to try something different and easier. SO core it is! I have had a good 2 days, it keeps me from nibbling!

anniet!! Good to see you posting again.

I am a lifetime member of WW who has spent years and years on flex with great success, however, once I made lifetime I plateaued, so a couple of months ago I changed to Core and I love it. Here are my latest stats from the Weight Watchers thread:

Core....Week 9

Rough week this week, ate way too much for no good reason but to eat. Weighed in this morning and I am down .2. Today was another bad eating day (DS's 12th birthday party....laser tag, pizza and ice cream...oh my!). Back on the wagon eventually!

Week 1: 3.8
Week 2: 0
Week 3: 0
Week 4: .6
Week 5: .4
Week 6: 1.6
Week 7: .8
Week 8: .4
Week 9: .2

Total = 7.8 pounds lost in 9 weeks, I guess that is not bad since I am under goal. I just need to get back to it and stop the splurging.

Although I am not as strict with myself as when I was not at goal, I still find Core to be a great plan to follow.

My typical breakfast is Egg Beaters with a slice of fat free cheese and one slice of lite bread with skim milk. Snack is usually fruit and lunch is protein, salad and fruit. Once a week I like sushi made with brown rice, which is one of my favorites. Afternoon snack I like an ice pop or cottage cheese with tomatoes. Dinner is always a lean protein, two vegetables and either a baked potato or brown rice. For the evening snack I like to have fruit and/or a WW smoothie.

There are several people over on the WW thread who have switched to Core and there is some information over there of things we have discussed, so stop by and say hello.
