Hi everyone! My name is Michelle and I am new 3FC but I have been doing the Core program for almost a year now.
I lost 18 lbs in the first 12 weeks and then unfortunately fell off the wagon for a while and gained back some of the weight. Not because the program doesn't work, but because I wasn't working the program. Luckily for me we started up our at work program for 11 weeks yesterday so I am ready and willing to be able to drop the weight!!
Currently I am down 6.6 lbs from my original weight
and I am hoping to hit my 10% by week 5. I think that is a managable goal.
Anyway, I love the core program because I get to eat when I am hungry, which was a big problem for me on the points. I'd be hungry after I went to the gym and sometimes didn't have my flex points to eat something afterwards, and would only have a couple of WAP's to use. For some reason if I'd have 2 pts left at the end of the day I'd always eat something fun and not necessarily nurishing.
However with Core, I make sure that I eat all my fruits and veggies in the day and that way whatever I manage to eat at night (veggie wise) is always a bonus and if I am hungry after my work out, I can eat some whole wheat pasta and ff ricotta cheese and core turkey meatballs (my favorite) and feel like I"m indulging.
I love the recipes on line and have made the core corn bread and the beef stragonoff and love both of them. I have also made core baked ziti and lasagna that no one knew was WW friendly.
Thanks for letting me share
and I look forward to exchanging recipes with you guys!
Michelle
