So today is the begining of a new week and my im getting weighed on wednesday. ive been good i think dunno would love some feedback but the scales says im up

Hi there...i'm sure you'll be fine on wednesday!
I weigh as well on wednesday!
Your food diary looks quite alright! As long as you make sure you have 1/3 speed with every meal (i usually don't have it with breakfast as i have bran flakes and they are super filling)
And make sure you aren't hungry!
As for your grocery bill...i find it helps a lot to preplan my meals for a week and then only buy what we need for that week plus lots of fruit and veg

thanks for your feedback strawberryshortcake ... a lot have told me that im not having enough for breakfast which i have changed this monring to to fried eggs beans follwed by my speed which was two oranges and tea ....

My shopping bill would work like that if my partner and my litttle girl ate the same as myself. i can get them to eat some of the food i make but not all. so its like im doing a SW shopping and a little unhealthy shopping too. however we do eat alot of fruit between us and a good bit of fruit.

So this morning tuesday morning I woke up with a pain in my jaw/ear not sure which its been there since friday but getting worse as i find it hard to chew and its a constant pain and cant get an appointment with my doc till tomorrow morning typical irish healthcare system.

Anyway droppped my little girl to creche and headed out to my parents house for the day. ( brought my lunch and snacks with me my mam thinks im mad bringing my measured milk snack and lunch as she dont understand SW)

So after everyones feed back I have decided to change my breakfast a little and increase my water intake as i was told tea can dehydrate you

This morning for breakfast i have had 2 fried eggs, beans, and two oranges with a cup of tea
Snack: i had an orange with tea and a pint of water
lunch: i had left over dinner - - - > chicken pasta and sauce ( in the sauce is tomoatoes, peppers, leeks, onions, spices and pasasta all blended)

Oh i only know this too well...i have two very fuzzy eaters, my dh doesn't like veg unless i hide it and ds doesn't like meat unless it's minced beef, lol
I think if i didn't make the extra effort and spend the extra money i'd be double the weight or dh and ds would have starved to death, lol

ill transform them yet. however a few months back I could never have a sweet press as I use to just buy it and once its there id eat it now that i have joined SW i have more control over my eating habits and know I can have a treat and just syn it so its working for me. ( before that i attend a gym and my instructor done a diet plan and if i seen another plain chicken breast or scrammled egg i was going to vomit) and heard alot of people talking about SW and the variety of choices you can have. i have never eating so much amd still lose weight . its great. and what i love also is theres no guilt attached to a bad day " draw a line under it and start tomorrow"

Exactly what i think...sw is the best thing that's happened to me! Finally it's sustainable healthy eating and not restriction here, there and everywhere!!

Just popping in to subscribe, loving all your meals did you weigh in today? X

no weighing tomorrow Giljo

so Wednesdays plan with great i think. starting to fill myself up more in the mornings at breakfast time therefore not as peckish the rest of the day and find that is helping big time. my dinner this evening was amazing mopped it up and even went back for more bits, if you gave me that this time last year id throw it back at ya and id rather starve. its all about trying new food and new ways of cooking. love cooking things from scratch now even making my own yoghurts using natural yoghurts and putting my own fruit and sweetener in it.

Good luck x
