Hello All,
Boy am I glad to find this thread. At one time I went to WW meetings, it got too expensive, though it was very successful for awhile, then I stalled, then came the holidays and I gained. So instead of going back to meetings, I did it on line. Again awfully expensive, and only a little sucess. Then I used the free forums, I wanted to try Core, but there wasn't very much support on line for Core. Now I'm here. I admit, I'm modifying Core. I simply can not support eating low-fat, fake anything food.Yuk. Our bodies were not designed to digest many of the foods touted as healthy for us. The debate is on I realize regarding real vs. low (artificial) fats. I am finding if I simply stay away from processed flours, and sugars I am taking off the weight. Pretty effortlessly, (boy I wish this had a spell check). I keep a tally of the 35 flex points, but find that I don't have cravings for sweets so much and none for baked goods. If I do indulge I stop and check if I really do want it, frequently the answer is no. So I've lost 6 pounds this way so far, and we'll see if it keeps coming down and it still feels this good.
