I tried it and didn't like it. I like counting my points. I got
uncomfortable *not* doing it. Core didn't make me any less hungry but that
really isn't my issue. I am back on flex, not even going to wait out the
week. I think my counting is my security blanket. I realize I could have
done counting on core, but fat-free cheese sucks :)

The experience is a learning one that lets me appreciate the flex plan all
the more. :)

I didn't like core either. Most of my meals are generally core but I am
used to counting points too. I prefer regular or 2% cheese though I
drink nonfat milk and eat nonfat yogurt and cottage cheese. I am more
comfortable with the flex plan.

Cool. I don't feel so weird now :)
I always have fat free milk, yogurt, and cottage cheese, and even use fat
free cheese on eggs, but not in anything else. The yogurt thing was another
issue - I don't like plain yogurt unless I'm using it as a sour cream
substitute. I like my fat free/sugar free fruit flavored goop :) I think I
might have been hitting the cereal too hard so I'll just back off of that
for a while.

I like the idea of reducing the amount of white food, sugars and grains.
I lose best when I cut back on starches and just have 2 vegetables plus
salad with a small serving of protein in the evening. I can still have
the extra treats with flex points and not worry about what they are.
