Flex you count points and its more of a calorie restriction. But, you get flex cheat points! Core is more like a high protein high veggie diet. You can eat as much as you that is in that plan.

I believe the flex plan is when you are allotted a certain amount of points for the day (the traditional WW way) and the core plan gives you a list of foods you can and can't eat and you can eat anything on that list until you've reached your 'comfort level'

I prefer core... I started on Flex and it was too much with counting for me. Core there is no 'limit' on the foods you are allowed. However, no bread... You can have whole wheat pasta, brown rice, baked potato and some other carbs- but only 1 time per day. I think you should go to a meeting and go over both programs with the leader and see which fits your lifestyle best... Good Luck! It's a great program

congrats!!! i lost 50 lbs doing flex (over 2 years on and off), and it's so easy!
flex you can eat whatever you want, you just have to measure the point value of everything you put into your mouth. with core, you can eat unlimited (or so they say) amts of food that are on the core list (veggies, lean meat) - you eat until you are no longer hungry. if you eat something that's not a 'core' food, you count points for it, and take it out of your weekly points allotment.
good luck!! the first two weeks are the hardest, but it's so worth it!!

I love WW!! I am on flex!! I have done it a few times and have always lost a lot of weight. This time I lost 25 lbs. and have kept it off for almost year and plan to keep it off this time. If you follow the plan it will work!! Good luck!!
