I'm just beginning " Core " so I was curious at your statement:

With regards to

your 35 Flex Points...no you do not need to use them all but I

personally couldn't do Core without using them all. I tried it for two

weeks and I used every last Flex Point (on breads pretty much).

Kris

how is your weight loss going? I'm sure that I will have to succomb to all

the flex points also to get through this. Was wondering how that would affect

my weight loss?

Hi Diann,

I reached my goal almost two years ago. I was doing great for the first

year but after we moved I got off track a bit and was having a terrible

time staying on plan. It was pretty much do good for a week or two then

forget to journal for a day or two and loose track of things. I kept

playing around with gaining and loosing the same five pounds so I tried

to get back on track by doing Core. I figured since I was having

problems journaling things I would do better with Core. Funny thing is I

ended up journaling everything on Core because curiosity got the better

of me and I wanted to see how many points I was using. I was eating

around 18 points a day but the foods I was eating were so much better

and it really helped me get back into eating all my fruits and veggies.

I couldn't stay on it though as it was just to difficult for me

personally and really doesn't fit my lifestyle well. It's just to

restrictive on the starches and that kills me.

I have been doing WW for four years come March and have lost 64 pounds.

It took me a lot longer to loose than it does most people, it took two

years to get to my goal. And no I did not go off plan the entire two

years! I hit a plateau that lasted for 6 months then the weight I lost

after that came off a half pound or less each week. So it was a long

slow process but I wasn't about to give up and get fat again. I made a

promise to myself after I lost the first 40 lbs or so that I would never

again weigh more than it said on my drivers license when I joined. It

said 140 lbs but I was 194 when I joined WW. That was another reason to

get back on track this past fall because the scale said 140 one morning.

So it was back to weekly meetings and no more messing around. My current

goal is to get to 120 that way I can make a new commitment to never get

above 130...that's what my drivers license says now and that's what I

weigh. But it is only 2 pounds lower than my goal weight and I would

like a bigger buffer zone and smaller thighs would be nice too ;o)
