It has Pseudoephedrine which completely kills your appetite. It makes you really thirsty but you will not even think about food. There are no other side affects.

For every pound you lose, they give away a pound of food to people in need...something maybe to look into for your next challenge :) Hey Los, watching the biggest loser and saw they are doing a pound for a pound deal.

Now I have an excuse to stay in shape. If I don't, I'm going to kill myself the day of the triathlon. Without a goal, I'm not even motivated.

That's just what works for me… someone else said, “you've got to do what works for you.” Ditto…

I don't like that it makes you count fat-free dressing and mayonnaise and steak sauce as points; like anyone's going to down a bottle of A1 sauce for a snack :-) I'm basically sticking with Core until I figure out how this Momentum Plan works.

I have lost 33 lbs. this year, with a bit more to go until goal....but this time I am doing CORE and I LOVE it!! No counting, just learning new life long eating habits as the main emphasis is on eating healthy: 5 servings of fruits and veggies, limiting sugar and such. I have also started swimming, since moving is such an important part of it, as you know. By the way, WW started a new program this week called Momentum, which you might want to look into. I am still sticking with Core though because if it ain't broke, I ain't gonna fix it!! Dude, you did it before, you can do it again…
