I'm new here - so I'm really sorry if I'm putting this in the wrong place. I thought it was quite general and just wanted some advice.
I picked up some Slimming World books from eBay having been so impressed with a friend's weight loss. My aim is to lose about a stone, just so I can feel more confident again. I was a bit anxious at the thought of going to groups, so thought doing it at home would be the best option for me.
Since Christmas, I've knuckled down and in the last two weeks I've been really good with planning meals - something I've never really actively done before.
I feel like I'm eating on plan the majority of the time, but not sure I'm getting anywhere - not on the scales anyway. Am I misjudging what I'm eating or am I being impatient?
I've been allowing ten to fifteen syns a day on a typical day, I've eaten;
Breakfast
Oats So Simple porridge
Cinnamon for flavour
Snack
Banana
Apple
Hartley's Jelly sugar free pot (occasionally)
Lunch
Syn free Tomato and Herb Pasta Mugshot
Dinner
Grilled chicken with spices
Slimming world chips
Peas
Carrots
Brocolli
Obviously this is a snapshot, but on the face of it, does this sound as 'on plan' as I have been thinking it is?
