All of you have given great advise. I've been on Core since the spring and I feel so much better. My biggest suggestion is to get on the WW message board for Core and read. I got more info from there than from any of the WW materials. You need to use either your week 1 book or the food companion book to decide what is core. Plan to stay on it for a few weeks for your body to adjust. I've been able to come off my diabetes medicines due to my diet. I've eaten grains that I've never even of heard of before WW. It takes a while to figure out what satisfaction is to know when to stop eating. I've heard that when you "sigh" during your meal is when you should stop. I still struggle with portion size and my losses are slow because of it. You'll find it is harder to eat on the go, it's hard to stop into a fast food place to pick up lunch (of course you can use your extra 35 points) but grain salads pack nicely.
Good luck
