rejoined on monday and confused already!

hello everyone, i hope i'm not going to sound annoying or like i'm complaining but i was wondering if anyone to clear up a few things for me..

basically, i used to go to weight watchers about 2 years ago so i was pretty sure of how the structure works. however, i went back on monday am have actually ended up more confused than before i went!

i hoped to be able to jump back onto my old routine of the core plan, with the 21 points allowence. but with my newbie leaflets it doesn't make it clear at all what the staple core foods are like my old stuff did. i'm a vegeterian, and quorn used to be-you could only have fillets, mince or pieces but i was reading through the kick start leaflet (which i also didn't understand at all! ) and they included the fajhita strips in a core meal. and i couldn't remember what carbs could be eaten either. and if milk and dairy comes out of the points allowence or if it's core?
ahh confusion!!

also, my leader said something about for the first week comibing the programs so i did points but ate core foods or something which kind of through me because i was hoping to literally pick up where i left off.
anyway, so i've found myself yesterday and today very confused with what i can and cannot eat so haven't really stuck to it at all! i'm hoping i could still fix things for the week and have a loss on monday, but i'm still so unclear on the programs.
i don't know wheather just to carry on the week doing points because it may be easier- however, i don't think i have a list of the points in things anymore either!

if anyone could point me in the right direction, or could tell me where i could find a clear list of core foods i would be soo greatful! Thanks alot for reading x

I am sure someone will be along soon who may be able to help, but in the meantime I hope the following might prove to be useful x
