TOM is on the horizon and I have weigh in tomorrow. I'm going because I missed last week and I must NOT keep missing. Whatever it is.....so be it!

Ok, here is mine....can anyone tell me if I am counting this right? Do I count my breads even though they are LF/LC only 50 cals a pc. How about turkey lunchmeat?
Oh well, it is only a few points anyways...so I figure if I stay under my "flex"points while doing core....I will be fine right? This core is sooo confusing for me and I am falling into a rut...not knowing what to count....like how many things are you to have ? I know there is a no pasta w/bread/starch in the same meal rule right? Babbling....

KellyJo, Core is confusing when you are used to flex but once you get the hang of it I think that it is actually LESS confusing, less to think about anyway.
You must count points (out of your 35 wpas) for anything that is not on the core foods list. And you can only have one serving of white potato, brown rice, or ww pasta each day. If you have two in one day, you count points for one. Or if you have ww pasta and a piece of bread, count points for the bread. Does that make sense? Also, sandwich meat (processed meat) is not core but I know that a lot of people do not count points for it--I think that we have all tweaked core in some ways. I hope this helps!

i'm late getting here but here's what i'm stuff with today. (and i am stuffed and happy)

b--oatmeal, milk, splenda, berries
l--core taco soup (it's wonderful!!) 3 pts worth of saltines
d--2 scrambled eggs, canadian bacon, oven baked potatoes, 1 pt toast/sf apricot jam (1 pt)
s--i'm going to treadmill first then have a slice of banana cake/vanilla icing.

if the cake is good, i'll post the recipe. i tweaked and tweaked that carrot cake recipe to make it. sure hope it's good.

Okay - not a core day - but I still feel in control which is great!

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, tea w/milk & splenda, toasted bagel w/margarine and sliced tomato.

Snack: decaf coffee w/cream

Lunch/dinner: 1 small roll, 1/4 c. eggplant salad w/a pickle, 2 party sandwiches

2 slices thin crust pepperoni pizza, diet soda

Snack: popcorn and diet pepsi
