I lost around 2 stone since last year on harcombe diet & SW but I always follow for a few weeks then quit so this time iv paid for 3months of SW online subscription, which hopefully will spur me on.

Iv sat and wrote a meal plan for the next week & just been to aldi to purchase the food.

I'm going to do a few things different this time which will help me stay on track :-

1. Drink lots of water
2. Drink less wine
3. Eat breakfast
4. Ensure I have 1/3 of super free food
5. Attempt exercise

If I stick to it for the next month I'm guna 'treat' myself to a gym membership ??!??!?
 
Weight : 14st 7.5lbs

Day 1

Breakfast - 2 alpen light (HEB)
Snack - fruit
Lunch - low fat super noodle
Snack - carrot, cucumber, tomato
Tea - passata, onion, garlic, pasta, bacon & asparagus, garlic bread slice (3 syns)

Cups of tea using 250 ml milk
Lots of glasses of water!!!

Not sure if I'll use the other 7.5 but if I do ,I hope to spend it on healthy food, possibly have quark with garlic spices and some quavers to dip in which are 3 Syns , taking me to 10.5 Syns.
 
Decided to scrap the olive oil & use fry light & had a garlic bread slice for 4 Syns so only an extra syn.
I plan to not drink alcohol till Friday & really hoping I stick to that as alcohol is my downfall , and crisps!

Tuesday B - strawberry & mango with yoghurt S - grapes
L - mini quiche & salad (5g cheese HEA) S - cucumber, carrot, houmous (3 Syns)

S - 3 ryvita, cheese (15g HEA) , tomatoes (if I'm hungry after tea), 125ml milk for tea (other half of HEA) , 240ml lambrusco light wine - can't find the Syns for it but wine under 5% is 2 Syns per 125ml glass so I'll stick with 4 Syns

Total Syns 10.5

So far so good!i was At work today so i packed all my food & there's no shops etc near my work & no one eats crap so I'm glad that I know I'll stick with my food on a world day.

Happy with today but I had more Syns that I needed due to :

My oh forgot to cut fat off bacon so I HAD to eat it :) wasting another 6 Syns

But I'm still within my allowance so happy days.

Since Monday iv only had 220mls of wine and that was on Tuesday, iv had no bread, no butter, no crisps & only one small chocolate bar.

I'll be happy to be 13st 13lbs on Monday after my first week, but would be nice to get rid of a few more and be 13st 10lbs on Monday (3 dulls days left) which'll be a 8 & 1/2 lbs loss (or 6 & 1/2lbs loss if I stay the same)
Feeling positive !
I just need to watch my alcohol consumption tonight and tomorrow.

Ha I know ! Hopefully we'll make the right choices!
 
Sooooo...I attended the buffet and had a jacket potato , rice, salad & chilli which are all free !! I drank diet coke, again free, and no alcohol touched thy lips! Very pleased with myself.
I had a packet of crisps at 3 Syns and 2 hi if bars which we're my healthy extra, so only 3 Syns had.

At tomorrow's buffet I think I'll have cous cous (1/2 syn), sandwich meat, salad etc to keep good and probably no wine, I'll save the low cal wine I have for monday night so I have a good weigh in on Monday.

Sunday

L - pasta & sauce and roasted asparagus & babycorn (1 syn)
T - salad, pasta, chicken, 4 roast potatoes (1 syn), garlic bread (3 Syns), wine (4.5 Syns),

My first weigh in this morning - 14st 0lb
I am if course happy with that, but confused as I weight 13st 13 on day 4 and stuck to the diet yet gained another pound and didn't lose any more. Serves me right for weighing daily.
I'm going to try and hide my scales this week, I might have a weigh in on Thursday and that's it.
 
Ok just went to toilet (tmi) and I weighed 13st 13 1/2 so I'm sticking with that, so total loss after week 1 is - 6 pounds!!! And I'm in the 13s finally woop woop
 
So far today and what I'm going to have

B - porridge (HEB), 180ml milk (HEA)
S - crab claws, cup of tea - 30ml milk (HEA), pint of water
L - mini quiches, salad
S - crab sticks, cup of tea - 30ml milk (HEA), pint of water
T - bacon, green beans, passata, pasta, garlic slice (3 Syns) , pint of water
S - 3 mini quiches, cup of tea x 2 - 50ml (1.5 Syns)
.
