All sounds good hon, just make sure you have your 1/3rd superfree with each meal if you're following EE. I think so far your diary looks fab. :)

Good luck with your goal!!

I am aiming for my friends 40th now which is actually in about 2 weeks time! lol I'd best get my a*se in gear! lol
 
Hi hun, I found your diary :) Thanks for commenting on mine!

Looks like you are having a cracking start - your diary looks great to me! On SW there really is no need to limit your calorie intake though, it's not a low calorie diet, so it doesn't work that way. I'd say as long as you're having your 1/3 SuperFree with each meal, and making sure you're eating enough, you'll be fine!

Which day do you weigh in? Will be interesting to see how you get on :D Good luck! x
 
hi Stevieand Muddy, and thanks for your comments ....I am doing sw from home and have no books except a photocopy of the EE book so I'm a bit slow in picking up the routine of it hence why I was doing 1200 cals to help me kick start. I have been eating things that i think are right and it wasn't until I was reading some of Pete's recipes that I finally caught grasp of the whole thing so hopefully from today I will be better.Thanks for being so helpful and I hope your having a fab day. P.s weigh in day is monday morn so fingers crossed for some kinda loss x

Allow me to introduce 'Tough-love'. Its a thread I subscribed to in order to keep me on track - it's great as we all post when we are wavering and then help eachother out. it's also good for planning ahead for weekends away etc - but don't expect tea and sympathy. We specialise in butt kickings in here - in a good way though. Have a look and see if you think Rod and the rest of us 'bassers' can help you out.

Although I think you look like you are doing well so far. Although - please note that vodka is 5 syns! Not sure about how many your mixer was but I usually have it with diet coke as that is free. So your 3 vodka drinks were at least 15 syns just for those drinks. Pimms is the least I think at 3 syns if you use diet lemonade (6 if you use full fat) so just be careful with that. Luckily you are hardly using any syns at all so this will still be within your weekly target.
 
thanks Sparty I 'm not havin a hard time at the mo but the thread sounds interesting and I will look it up ......as for the vodka I do have a copy of some syn values and mine says it 2.5 for 25ml or 4 syns for 35mls ...my mixer was soda water which is free and a squirt of fresh lime which I presume is free so all in, it was 2.5 syns that is unless i have the wrong info but it came from the food opt book that my friend photocopued for me. thanks hope your doing well x

Oh that's odd. I am doing it from home and use this forum to check things as I need to. I have always been told it is 5 syns - if not then great! Maybe someone can confirm?
 
yes if someone could confirm...I'm only goin by what it says in the food optimising book but maybe it's different for EE x

oh nooo thats so disappointing isn't it...but keep at it, it might roll over and next wi you might have a big loss! Yup make sure you're eating enough and filling up on superfree as often as possible. Drink plenty too. xx
 
Hi hun, sorry I have been AWOL lately! Hope that you are well. Try not to worry about the STS, maybe you will have a double-whammy next week! Have a great week xx
 
hi all sorry I have been awol for a few days we decided to go away in our caravan for a few days as the weather was quite nice so thats what we did.....as far a sticking to plan went I didn't do too bad took lots of yoghurts and fruit with me and made a pot of superspeed soup to take with as well .I had a few glasses of wine and 2 slices of white bread (in a toastie) and apart from these I stayed within my syns as well . we went for walks along the beach so all in all I think I didn't do too bad.
