Thread: I'm new and a little confused :/

Hi all , i joined sw last night and started the journey today But i'm a little confused i dont know if i'm doing it properly ??

Today i have had a mushroom omlette for lunch (cooked with fry lite)

Teatime i just had the sw chips (boiled then cooked in the oven with with fry lite ) with lots of mushrooms and black pepper !

My Healthy extras i've had 40g of light cheddar cheese and 1 slice of wholemeal bread !

Does this sound ok ?

I'm so confused :/

thanks emma

sounds fine to me

Doesn't sound like your eating enough to me will you be having your syns too?

It follows the plan but doesn't seem like a lot. As long as your not going hungry and you add some syns x

I would say it's fine but you are not using your free food or syns-- I would eat this as well as apples, bananas,etc, a tin of beans with my omeltte and a huge salad with free cottage cheese with the chips, muller lights and and a curly wurly!

Also what did you have for breakfast?

Sounds alright to me hun, I have had an hungry day today and haven't stopped eating. Try to eat more fruit, yogurts and have some of your syns hun x

ditto everyone above.

looks like you're on a diet, remember SW isn't a diet its a healthy eating plan.

Did you buy the magazine? its a good idea to get some ideas of menus and recipes to try.

As mentioned above look at some of the food diaries in the food diary section to get an idea of what other people eat.

Good luck and keep coming back for advice and ideas xx

That sounds really good. I messed up totally, this is my first week and I haven't got much in that I can eat so I've hardly had anything. I had a tray of fruit and a mugshot the other day, I nearly passed out!

Hi all thanks for the reply's , Have i got to use my sin's daily ? I was planning to keep them for the weekend to have a few alcohol drinks ! I will take a look through the food diaries like suggested , I'm finding it very hard to understand at the moment but i've heard this is normal ? I don't normally do breakfast but i will start having some wholemeal toast

Use your syns as you want. You can save them for booze at the weekends but be aware that some people don't loose weight doing this (me ) and still gain even though they have stuck to plan otherwise.

Remember SW works best when you eat more of the good foods, so try to eat more fruit and veg.

I notice that you are not eating any meat- are you a veggie?

I don't eat red meat or fish , now and again i will have chicken breast when i'm in the mood , I'm such a fussy eater i'm scared of failing

You can't "fail" !

But you will get better at it with time, with practice. It's like learning a new language - in the beginning it's hard and you have to concentrate, but after a while it starts to become second nature and you don't really think about it any more you just do it.

You wouldn't beat yourself up if you couldn't speak a new language perfectly on the first day! So be patient and stick with it x

Hi Emma

Welcome to SW and Minimins. I'm sure once you get used to it, you'll love it!

I like to save syns for the weekend too but I usually still try to have about 5 each day and carry over some of the rest for my wine at the weekend. Not sure this would work for everyone but it seems to work for me and it means I'm not missing out on my 'treats' during the week.

Good luck with the plan x

You can save them for a boozey weekend? I didn't know that, I thought it was pretty strict on no more than 15 per day, regardless. [adds 6 bottles of wine to Tesco order]
