Hubz's food diary

Hi all, I have been lurking for a while, I have been reading other people's food diaries which has given e lots of ideas and inspiration for my own daily diary, so I thought I would start my own diary.

So a bit about me, I'm from London and 26, I have been chunky since I was in my teens, I did slim fast years ago and lost some weight and ever since then have started healthy eating and exercise for a few months before getting bored. This time I really want to stick to it and after being recommended SW by so many people I have decided to give it a go, from what I have read the plan seems perfect for me. I am a pescetarian, so I only eat fish, (only gave up poultry for my NY resolution and gave up red meat at the age of 10).

I went to my first weigh in last night and it was very very busy, met my consultant who seems very nice. Looking forward to next weigh in to see if I have lost any weight.

I am following the EE plan, any advice, tips etc are very welcome.

And good luck to everyone else on your plan.

Tonight's dinner.
 
Today's food:

Breakfast: 2x slices of nimble hovis wholemeal bread (HEB) with Light laughing cow triangle (HEA).

Lunch: Leftover tuna salad with a little mayo, red onion, lettuce, cucumber, celery, jalapenos, pasta, 3x carrot sticks, 1 slice of melon and 1 slice of mango.

Snacks: Grapes inbetween breakfast and lunch and plan to have another laughing cow triangle to use up with 3x thinn crisps later after swimming. No way can I use the whole 4 in one day, is it a problem if you don't use your full HEX's? WW strawberry yogurt.

Dinner: Leftover quorn chilli with carrots, peppers, mushrooms, peppers with rice.
 
I had a pre packed fruit bowl from tescos last night after swimming as I was starving and turns out thinn crisps do not keep well in a tupperware box. Proud of myself for resisting the chocolate and crisps as a quick fix.

Does anyone know if it's 1 or 2 Alpen light bars as a HEB? In the book I received at my first class it says both. I don't want to have 2 if I have to syn one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
 
Food for today:

Breakfast: Pinapple, Mango, Melon fingers, 1x Alpen bar (HEB)
Snacks: 1x quorn sasuage roll 2.5 syns, 1x Quorn scotch egg 2.5 syns

Hey :) Diary looks good so far. You've made me remember how much I like jalapeños with salad too - definitely buying some!

Re the alpen lights, you can have 1 or 2 as a Hex B. If you just have one I think it has an 'S' next to it so weight loss will be speedier. x

Hi, thank you for popping in. Thank you very much for your reply. I did wonder why S would be next to 1 aplen light, at least I also I can have two if I am mega hungry.

Weigh in tomorrow so hope I have made a good start.
 
Re-count of syns from yesterday, I had 2 Weight Watchers pitta bread pizzas and another cup of tea, (I was up until 3.30am completing and submitting an assignment, so needed a little caffine boost). Takes my syns to 13.5 so I have edited my diary.

Today - so far I have had:

Breakfast, fruit bowl - strawberries, grapes, bananna.
Lunch will be cheese and tomato pitta pizza as attached with a pre brough salad containing lettuce, sweetcorn, (will add some more), cabbage and carrot, I will chuck more salad bits in from the fridge if we have any left at work, (we get a Sainsbury's shop weekly for staff lunch).
Dinner: Tesco Indian spiced salmon with salad and baby potatoes after my weigh in. I cannot find the syn value for the salmon at the momemt am guess at 3.

Nervous for my first weigh in!SW pitta pizza.jpg

Pitta bread pizza was yummy!
 
What's your starting weight and goal weight? 3lbs a week adds up to a lot over a few months! :) x

Starting weight 12 stone 13, goal weight I'm not really sure I want to be slim. I'm a size 14, 16 at my heaviest & can sometimes fit into a 12. I don't really know about these things & know how much I really need to loose.
