Hi,
Today I began the WW program again, and got the intro booklet from the meeting. I see they've switched from the Core and Flex plans that I was used to and introduced a new plan called Momentum. I don't get it, though. Is Momentum like Core and Flex combined? Does anyone still follow the old way? I'm confused and it's making me not want to do this. Can anyone explain the new way to me? Thanks!

I have no clue about Momentum, but I do it the old way. I do it at home but my instructions are from 2007.

I haven't a clue...i seriously still use the "Winning Points" system that is copy righted for 2000.

You could always just try reusing your old materials and see if that doesn't help. Or just go slow with the new ones

Yeah, I think it's a combo. Momentum focuses a lot on "filling foods" and trying to eat stuff that makes you feel full for longer. It also tries to get you to pay attention to your body's signals and stop eating when full (core). And there's something called set points, which is an amount of points you put for something when you don't want to measure/weigh it but eat until you feel satisfied. Personally I think set points is stupid so I don't use it, but I know some people who like the idea.

I still call the weekly points allowance "flex" points. Momentum confuses me. They need to find a plan and stick with it!

That's a neat idea.lol. Never thought of this before. Thanks alot, cheers.

Set points are only to be used when you are not able to measure or weigh your food. The Simply Filling Technique (introduced in Week 6) is the old Core plan. Flex is still the same. The good health guidelines have added exercise. Nothing hard about it. We've been using it for 2 years now.
