similar to South Beach but more liberal (unlimited LF protein/NF dairy, unlimited vegies & fruits, unlimited whole grains, pasta/rice/potatoes once a day) with 35 flex points a week. No daily point counting, which to me makes more sense as a life-long plan, as I can't see counting points forever. I've lost 38 pounds on Core without starving and without obsessing over counting points. Has totally changed my life, the way I eat, and the way my family eats. Never ever have to go hungry.  Wish I had known 10 years and 50 diets ago how easy losing the weight really is. It's mostly been a matter of patience. The first 15 to 20 came off pretty fast, the last 18 or so a bit slower, but now that I've learned to eat right and simply be more active for the first time in my life, I know the rest will come off with due time. Can't tell you how much peace the Core Program has brought to my life.

So I don't mislead you, unlimited really means "eat to until satisfied" not gorge non-stop.  Once you get started, you really learn to listen to your body and cravings more or less dissappear. Hard to explain, but once you are eating a "clean", well-rounded diet on a consistent basis, cravings disappear and it's easy to eat just until satisfied.

Both WW plans, Points & Core, work. My suggestion is to look at them both and pick the one that best suits your lifestyle. Good luck.

of their plan. No points counting except for a 35 point weekly allowance. Really teaches you what and how to eat in a way that can easily be maintained for a lifetime. Once you are on a few weeks, you can easily identify "trigger" foods that make you overeat and affect your mood, weight loss rate, etc. All without counting points for every bite and very few restrictions on a daily basis.

One of the best things for me, is the healthy eating habits have really been absorbed by my family too. Hardly any junk food of any kind in the house anymore and no one is complaining at all, especially since they've all dropped a few pounds too. It amazes me every time I go food shopping how different my cart looks than it did just a few short months ago. My aunt got me hooked, she's lost 85 pounds in 7 months and hasn't been able to exercise at all due to a back injury.

but I live in the northeast and not much need for that where I live.  I also live in a small town so that limits my options.  I have spent the last couple of years as a substitute teacher to supplement my MT job and just completed 4-1/2 months as a long term sub which I enjoyed and was a change of pace from MT.  The only problem is as a sub or ed tech you only get paid during the school year so I would have to keep my MT job for summers and school vacations.  With the way things are going in the MT world I hate to rely solely on that.  I don't want to find myself without any job whatsoever.   

Thanks for all the responses.    

that have proven their worth. Andrews, MTEC and even Career Step, but I would not choose a school that has spammed the internet in every crack there is as the one you have mentioned.  Find some graduates and see what they have to say.  Go to mtchat.com and do a search of this school.
