Countdown to Summer diary

Hey everyone

I started SW on March 1st this year and have lost 12lb so far but I still have just over 2 stone to reach my target.

I'm doing the Easy Extra plan which I find great although I might try a few red and green days along the way!

Easter is a bit of a struggle - I have two little ones there is chocolate everywhere!! I love chocolate a bit too much ;-)

Good luck to everyone on losing weight! I would love to be happy with my holiday photos this year rather than looking like a blimp :-(

Yesterdays food:

Breakfast: muller yoghurt and apple

Lunch: mugshot and 2 x ryvita with light laughing cow ( half HE B and half HE A )

Dinner: Lean roast beef, roast potatoes, carrots and parsnips (done in fry light), gravy (2 syns)

Snacks: low fat alpen bar ( half HE B )
Kit Kat (5.5syns)
Grapes
2 slices of packet ham
2 x mini eggs ( I'm guessing 3 syns?? )

Plus NAS orange juice and diet coke to drink

Total syns: 10.5

I need to stop snacking so much!

Breakfast: 1 x 400g slice of whole meal (1/2 HEX B) with lean roast beef and an apple

Snack: low fat alpen bar (1/2 HEX B )

Lunch: 2 x ww sausages (1 syn), scrambled eggs and baked beans. Malteaser bunny (8syns) and a muller yoghurt

Dinner: homemade burgers with extra lean mince and SW Chips plus a custard cream ( 3.5 ) for pudding

Not nearly enough super free!! I really struggle with that element :-( Must try harder!

I used HEX A as semi skimmed milk for coffees

Total syns: 12.5

Hi Hun,

Here to subscribe, well done on your weight loss so far. Is this the first time you have done SW? I bet its hard having the chocolate around. Thankfully my little one is only 5.5 months old, so no chocolate yet.

Your food sounds delish, can't beat homemade burgers, I prefer them to shop brought ones.

I have found snacking more, gives me better weight losses.

Hope you have had a great easter.

xx

Hi vicki and tinks,

vicki - your weightloss so far is fantastic, massive well done to you! Your food sounds v tasty too especially the roast beef dinner and the homemade burgers, I had homemade burgers too tonight and, like tinks, I agree they are the nicest burgers I have had nom nom!

Anyway, am enjoying reading your thread and hope you all have had a nice Easter break.xx

Well you can't beat a Mc Donalds or Burger king burger lol

True!! But I'm sure the stuff that went into my burger tonight was much less scary lol!

Hey Tinks* and MissBecks!!

Aw thank you for the lovely words

Yeah this is my first time with SW - I wish I had joined years ago! It's so simple and I'm never hungry. I used to always do Scottish Slimmers but I would get so far and get fed up of being hungry and put all the weight and more back on - totally endless!!!!

Have you guys got food diaries? I hope mine helps me to keep track!

Il update my found later tonight x x x

It's my 2nd time and I do love it, as you can eat normal food. I love my food lol. I stopped last time as I went in holiday then got pregnant. This will be our year!

That's the good thing about SW you can eat lots and it doesn't feel like a proper diet, compared to others around.

Yeah I have, it's called flab to fab.

Hope you have had a good day x

Thanks Vicki, yours does too! Sounds like you have done your best to get lots of superfree in today ahead of WI tomorrow so well done. The bolognese sounds yummy and check us out using up our leftover SW burgers.

Really hope you lose tomorrow night, I have everything crossed for you! I'm sre going off plan Saturday can't do too much damage, I mean, you have stuck to it since then and this is a way of life, we have to enjoy ourselves after all! Good luck and let us know! xx
