Hi all,
Just wanted to introduce myself now! I'm Kerrie and I'm now switching over from the Cambridge diet back to weight watchers. Starting this Saturday, have signed up online but not able to get to the shops till Friday night so got to wait a bit.
I lost 8 stone following LL then CD but unfortunately have put it all back on - just want to say this is absolutely nothing to do with the CD which is a fantastic diet, I came off for various reasons and didn't work up the plans so it is completely down to me that the weight went back on. In the past I have followed WW points, losing 5 stone but that went back on too. I am feeling almost guilty for abadoning the CD but it isn't right for me at the moment and I am going to go a different route and try to really re-learn habits around food following Core. Am a bit scared about Core as I am not one for making the most sensible food choices but discuessed it with my OH and we both agree I need to give it a go otherwise I am never going to maintain a healthy weight. If it all goes pear-shaped I can always switch to points though!
Hope to be an active poster, it's been great to read other people's stories and see some of the great successes!
Just have a couple of questions for anyone on Core, I know you are allowed yoghurts - do probiotic yoghurt drinks fall into this catagory or do they need pointing? Also do you have to use up the 21 point weekly allowance plus exercise bonus or do people not do this and fill up on Core foods instead?
Thanks for any help you can give!
