New and Need Help Please! x

Hey there!

I'm a newbie! I bought all the extra easy slimming world books on ebay because the meeting times are no good for me. I have read it and started yesterday. Seems too good to be true! Just need some help and advice just worried I'm not doing it right!! I love wine so going to try and keep most of my syns for the weekend! Here's what I've had today and yesterday...

Sat
Breakfast - Fruit and muller
Snack - banana
Lunch - Leek and Potato soup
Dinner - Beef Casserole

syns - gravy granules + wine + 2xtea

Today
Breakfast - 30g Special K + semi skimmed milk
Snack - orange + Banana
Lunch - Leek and Potato Soup
Dinner - Large Tuna pasta salad (tuna, pasta, onion, sweetcorn, boiled eggs, 2 tbsp salad cream

Syns WINE + salad cream

Is this ok? feel like ive had lots expecially big pasta for tea!

I know its more of a meal plan than a diet but just need reassured! Going to weight myself every Tue at work.

Thanks in advance :)

Two quick thoughts

Special k needs to be synned it is not a healthy extra no fibre in it and that is all special k

Where is your hex a and hex b choices?

You get one of each on extra easy

today my special k which i thought was a and my milk b, yesterday was the tinned fruit for breakfast and i had a small amount of milk. Thanks very much for your reply

Plus I walked 6 miles today if that helps!!

In that case you will need to add 6 syns I think for your special k sorry.

Exercise unlike weight watchers doesn't give you extra syns. It just helps increase weight loss.

on EE you are recommended that you have one third superfree at each meal to improve your losses and it doesnt look as if you are really doing this - potato, sweetcorn, peas and parsnips are not superfree foods so I would boost the amount of other veggies or fruit you have

And tbh overall it doesnt look like a lot of food to me - fruit and yoghurt for breakfast with soup for lunch would not fill me up lol, I would be starving but perhaps thats just me.

Other than that and the things already mentioned it looks like you are on track though :)

If your milk is your a choice make sure you use your full allowance. If you dont, then it becomes synned, ie semi skimmed milk allowance 250mls. If you dont have it all you have to syn it. Hope this helps. It will all become clear soon. It seems complicated at first but it will all soon become second nature.

Many thanks great tips
