I don't want to rain on your parade, but deli meats are not considered Core. I'm not sure why...maybe too high in sodium? I was disappointed by that at first. But now, I've found other kinds of "easy" meats. I'll grill several chicken breasts and keep them in the fridge to put on salads or in a wrap or diced up in soup. You can also used canned tuna or chicken. Also, for Core cereals, they have to have no sugar added. And raisins aren't Core. Now, of course you can still have those things, but you'll have to count points. Sorry! I was also thinking about doing the C25K program, but I still feel too big to run (in front of others). I have, however exercised EVERY DAY for 11 days in a row! That's probably a record for me. Which day do you weigh in? I’m glad you’re giving Core a try!

I thought it would be more. I exercised EVERY day this week, and was perfectly on program. But, AF showed up, and may be the reason I didn't lose more. Oh well, 1.4 is definitely a step in the right direction. I'm down 49.6 lbs. total since November. How are YOU doing?? My weigh-in was yesterday…only lost 1.4 lbs this week.

Sorry about the stomach thing...yuck. I hope you're feeling better. I hate being sick, but if you have to be sick, losing weight is a great side-effect. I'm still really enjoying Core. The Core message board on WW website has lots & lots of good info and recipes, if you decide to try it. I'll let you know how my next weigh-in goes...have a good week! Thanks, Holly!

I lost 5 lbs in a week! I haven't lost that much in a week since the beginning on WW. I've been eating yummy food and haven't been hungry at all. I'm sold on Core now! You should try it, Holly.

I'm glad to see a new weight loss challenge. I'm totally up for a new challenge. I set a goal (at the beginning of the summer) to be down a total of 55 lbs by Labor Day. So far I'm only at 43.something. So, I have a month to lose about 10 lbs. I'm still doing WW, but this is day 7 for me on the Core plan. I LOVE IT! I'm not sure how much you know about Core, but you should read about it. You can eat fruits, veggies, lean meats, grains, fat free dairy, and brown rice/whole wheat pasta/or potatoes once a day. You don't weigh or measure or count points for those things. In addition, you have 35 pts per week for non-Core things. I thought I'd have a lot of trouble with overeating, but surprisingly I haven't. The foods you're allowed are so filling and satisfying that it really works. My weigh-in is tomorow, so I'll let you know how I did my first week on Core. If I don't do well, then please disregard everything I just wrote! :) Holly! I’m glad to see a new weight loss challenge.
