:wavey: Hi, well I'm still trawling round this site...which is brilliant, after joining a few days ago, replying here and there trying to find my way around. I joined SW 4 weeks ago and am really enjoying it. I'm beginning to realise I'm just about the oldest one of my group, being "clickety click", hope I'm not the oldest one on here just starting! Everyone tells me being older, the weight will take longer to come off, and hope I can be really patient. I don't think me writing a diary would be very interesting, I'm a plain old fashioned type cook, and TBH, I haven't even heard of some of the ingredients I've seen mentioned on here (I must have lead a very sheltered life!lol) I'm really eating everything I normally eat, but have cut out all the naughties! I've got told off for not using my syns, but I'm having SO much to eat that I would just have to stuff myself at the end of the day to fit them in. The most I've had in 4 weeks is 10.5...and that was the day I bought the HiFi Mint Choc bars (something I could get addicted to, VERY easily.)
I live on my own and started another thread about cooking for one, I've already made too much of everything and my fridge and freezer are groaning with the weight.
I've dieted on and off all my adult life, but this is the first time I've joined a group, and then a friend pointed me to this forum...and I've spent hours just reading.
I'll try and do a bit of a diary, but any hints or tips OR suggestions will be very gratefully accepted. I got the official SW diary muddled for the first 3 weeks...everything in the wrong columns, and hope I've sorted it out this week. If I'm going wrong, someone PLEASE tell me.xx
Breakfast:- black coffee, 2 slices WM toast (HE>B)1extra light cheese triangle spread with marmite and cucumber on the top.
Dinner:- diced pork, roasted first with 1Cal then added to a casserole, mushrooms, onions carrots, 1/2 tin toms, celery, 1 cup Bisto gravy.
Tea:- salad.....chinese leaves, toms, cucumber, beetroot, celery, and pilchards.......salad dressing extra light. 2 crispbreads with 1 cheese triangle.
(I've added the crispbreads because wasn't having enough fibre, and my syns were almost nil.)
Mullerlite orange with choc sprinkles.
Pickings, fruit...fruit...and more fruit!
I use my milk allowance for HE.A, and my WM Bread for HE B. I like good gravy, and then salad cream or dressing on my salads. I can use about 4 syns on those 2.
I've joined the Christmas challenge, that's on another thread, and hoping to achieve that goal.
I've GOT to lose the weight, have started having probs with my knees, and suffer with tachycardia, and I should have lost it years ago, I'm now the biggest I've ever been, and it's bought me down in the dumps, a feeling I'm sure most of you are familiar with.
Well I've written half a book, so looking forward to hearing from anyone xx
