Hi Kim, WELCOME We never yell here unless it is to congratulate someone on their success. I hope you will jump right in and take part in our challenge (never to late to join in) and start a journal. Those seem to be the most active boards, but don't be afraid to post where ever you want. I just have to say I never check the official site any more... too much negativity. Glad to have you here Katie

I'm a former WW leader who kept weight off 5 years until I quit teaching. Gained back 20 lbs. over the last 2 years. So, I decided to try CORE since the Flex no longer seemed to work for my 57 yr. old body. YAY!! Lost 7.5 this month! LOVE core!
Questions....is canned pumpkin Core? Is Splenda (even brown sugar Splena) core? How about FF Cool Whip? (My hunch is a big ole NO on that one.)
This is the best site ever for Core members. LOVE having this thread so I can ask my questions so easily. Thanks!

Hi, Susabella!
Faboo on 7.5 pounds gone in a month on core!!
Let's see, as for your questions:
**Canned pumpkin is core but be sure it's pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
**Splenda is core but the brown sugar blend, I believe, has regular sugar in it so you would count it toward your WPAs.... unless you use little enough that it doesn't even equal a point. But you need to count not-quite-one-points cumulatively (like if you used less than a point's worth several times, then it would add up to points).
**The answer re: Splenda Blends is also the answer for FF Cool Whip... if you use little enough, while not actually core, it may not add points. But the cumulative thing is important. Once in a day something that is almost a point is negligible, do it 5 times and you've got 3 or 4 unaccounted for points and then we wonder why we don't lose weight!!
I hope that helps and if I've blundered with any of the answers I trust that one of the others in the 'hood will rectify and better inform you.
Welcome aboard!

Sulee, thanks so much for your reply! I am so glad that pumpkin is Core. I have a WW recipe for crustless pumpkin pie that is so wonderful and I haven't made it because I was unsure about it. Now, I know what I"ll be doing this afternoon. And pumkin is SO good for you, too.
I appreciate your support and thanks for all the answers to my questions. I may have more later....but now I know where to go for answers. (My WW leader doesn't seem to know a whole lot about the Core plan.)

Yo! Splenda Brown Sugar blend is counted in the extended food book as core. Yay, Splenda!

Hi, I am new to this site just stumbled on it searching recipes for core. It looks friendly and that is what I need at this point. I got to goal with counting points in 03 and have for the most point keep it off. I am above my goal as of now and doing core since 1/1/07. It is slow but working, I am in no hurry to lose but want this to be my way of life as far as eating goes. I look forward to being here!!. Jane
