Hi everyone,

I'm new here, but have been reading some of your threads and you have all inspired me to start my own! :eek:

I started slimming world last week, but didn't have a great week so starting afresh today. I have only been doing it for just over a week so would be great to hear some tips from you all based on what I've eaten to try and keep me on track!! My main issue before slimming world is getting hungry and then eating loads of bad stuff! Also generally just love food.....

Today:
Breakfast
Mullerlight Strawberry Yoghurt
Bran Flakes 28g (HEXB)
Banana

Lunch
Jacket potato
Small pile of rocket, lettuce, radish, tomato and pepper
1/2 a pack of Tesco wafter thin roast chicken

Tea
Pasta, cheese (I think about 50g so HEXA plus 4 syns), baked beans

Snacks
2 x small nectarines
2 x handfuls of carrot sticks
1/2 pack of Tesco wafter thin roast chicken
Banana

Not sure whether to have some chocolate for a few extra syns :eek:

Any comments appreciated :)

Hi Ginger Nut Banana is just free.

You food is looking ok. Only one thing don`t guess the weight of cheese. You would be surprised how much it weighs.
Sometimes it looks like you are not having enough superfree. If you have any of the fruit immediately after eating you meal, that would count as part of your 1/3rd superfree. Sorry that was two things.

What day do you weigh? Will look in again very soon,. Good luck with your journey. xx
 
Thank you :) I do need to remember to be better at weighing things!! And I have been shopping tonight so have lots more yummy super free to go with my meals!

I weigh in on Monday morning, so hopefully will have done some good by then... I'm at a wedding on Friday but need to be restrained.

Have tried other diets before but get so fed up of feeling hungry. This seems to be a lot better so far although worried I'm eating too much but will see how the weigh in goes. Will be better with my superfree for the rest of the week too.

Thank you for helping :)
 
Your welcome Ginger, My weight loss is so bad at the moment - have done a diary for consultant this week.
I will weight tomorrow, not looking too good at mo.

Am away at the weekend so will pop in on Monday and see how you are doing. Good luck with weight and well done for buying the superfree. x

20 giant milky bar Buttons

Oh too many syns!!!

New day tomorrow.
 
Congratulations on your loss! Any loss is better than no loss, try not to get disheartened.

id definitely say you need more super free in there, and try not to go too mad on the free foods. They're free but they do still contain calories!

Good luck with your weight loss!
 
Well done on the loss x

Best thing is just to put it behind you. I also try not to keep sweeties and chocolate in the house as I tend to pig out on it. Something I've food which is good if you want a wee chocolate thing is the cadbury light Philadelphia. Which is 3 1/2 syns for 25g which is quite a lot!

Also lower cheddar is 40g for a hea so you feel like you get a lot more :D
