So I am doing the Core Plan, which is the easiest thing in the world for me, and today I hit my 5 pound mark. My goal is to be 125 by Hawaii, I have about 14 left! Whooo Hooo! The core plan really is a life changing thing. My migraines are basically gone, I feel GREAT, it has truly changed my health! 

 Stacy,

 I did Weight Watchers as well.. and how I love it! I'm excited for you.. its so encouraging to see the first 5 go! Good luck with the rest 

I loooove Weight Watchers too, I lost a lot of weight with it and it's really helping me maintain my current weight.  Congrats on your first 5, you'll be ready for Hawaii in no time!! :D

I havent tried weight watchers, but i know many people who have lost a lot of weight from it! congrats on the first 5 lbs!! im sure you will reach your goal before hawaii

Hey Stacy, its Dovie can you pm me about the core plan. I have migraines almost daily. 

Congrats on the weight loss! I had heard a lot of positive things about weight watchers - I plan to start myself on it after the baby!

Congrats!  How did it help your migraines?  I have a friend who gets them ALL the time...its nuts.  I am glad to hear yours are getting better.

Congrats on the weight loss thats awesome.  I was diagnosed with chronic migranes when I was in high school and they have yet to subside so I wish I had something for that like you, unfortunately I want to gain weight not lose it so it wouldnt help me.

Congrats! Keep up the good work. Glade WW is working for you.

Thank You! Migraines have a looooonggggg history in my family and I am on preventative meds for them, plus I have severe TMJ. But even after treatment for both I still got at least 1x a week or so. Since WW Core, I eat everything only from scratch. NO 100 Cal Packs, NO boxed foods, NOTHING I haven't prepared myself. I eat tons of salads, fruit, veggies, lean meats I cook, etc. And the past 3 weeks I have felt wonderful. I think all the additives in todays food was making them more chronic!

That is great news that just by changing your foods you are migraine free.  My husband and I try to eat mostly fresh from scratch and when we dont we can sure feel a difference in how we feel.  Its weird how bad some stuff is for us yet you dont even know it till you give it up.

I need to try it!

When I first looked through my book at all the foods you can eat on the core plan, I was like NO WAY. I prefer the points. But the Core is soooooo easy to do, there is no sitting their counting portion sizes, because you teach yourself to eat until your full. And with all the fruits, veggies, etc.. You get full faster than on all that junk food. Plus you still get 35 points a week if you want to splurge, which I use them here and there. But I haven't used all 35 I doubr. It's really a body changing diet, makes you feel so healthy. 

That's amazing!! That must be such a good feeling - congrats on doing that! Did you just get the book, or are you doing classes or anything too? I don't know too much about WW, but I've been trying to get us to eat healthier and more non-processed foods.
