Do you think you lose faster on core as opposed to flex? Right now I am on flex and I like the freedom that I have, but I keep hearing that there is more freedom on core, is that true? I love the fact that I can have whatever I want as long as I count the points. I feel very confused about core for some reason, is it anything like South Beach Diet? I did that for a few months and stopped losing weight after the first month so I'm a little nervous about doing core for fear of the same thing happening.

I guess what I'm really asking is, why would you recommend core as opposed to doing flex?

Check your week one book they describe both plans

if you stall you can always switch back n forth....thats the beauty of ww in general

Sarah, I think core is great because there is very little counting. On flex I used to obsess over how many points I had left in the day. It was all I thought about! Now I don't have to worry about it. It all depends on how you "work", but it's worth a try I think!

My two cents worth: I just started WW (again) and have decided to give the Core plan a whirl. I have counted points in the past and that is what I'm really comfortable with, but I thought it might be time to try something new. After working the Core plan, I'm finding that I NEED to write down my foods for the day, I need that accountability. I was right on target, points-wise, so either way is about equal. I guess "trust your instincts" or "do what feels best for you" is what I'm trying to say.
