I'm a WW retread. Back in the 1970s I went from 165 to 113 on WW (that was in the measure and weigh everything days). The weight gradually crept up because I never was much good at Maintenance, and about ten years later I lost another 20 lbs on WW. I mentioned to a good friend that I really need to lose weight, especially since I'm a Type 2 diabetic. He's lost 25 lbs on Core and recommended it, so I'm starting meetings on Monday. I do my shopping once a week, on Thursdays, and have been reading about Core so I can lay in a stock of Core foods and be all ready come Monday.

Welcome, Fubsy! I'm a retread also as many of us are on this board. I just talked about this at my last WW meeting. We were talking about things we would do differently this time around. I said that this time I would not make the mistake of thinking I was done when I got to goal. Actually, I've never gotten to goal, just close.

We hang out most days on the Core chat thread. We have a different one each week. It's where we talk about our ideas, successes, and every day trials and tribulations that are affecting our weight loss. Come hang out with us. I certainly could use the enthusiasm of a newbie!

Chat sounds like fun! Where do I find a link/location?

Welcome Fusby! Glad to have you.I went from Flex to Core myself and I do enjoy Core more. Never thought I'd try core cause I like the freedom of flex but it was to flexible for me.Core is much more healthier for type ll thats for sure! Good luck and come join us!

welcome, fubs. it's good to have you. several of us here are retreads. ain't it great that we can keep on keepin' on and not give up?
