Wannabslim's Diary - decided not to go to WI - MiniMins.com

wannabslim · 16th September, 2008

Hi everyone,

I joined WW yesterday evening and started today. And I have to say I've really enjoyed myself! Am going to keep a diary on this forum to help me stay on track and keep an eye on how I'm doing!

First things first, my 10% target is 11st 8lbs, which is 18lbs to lose for me. Seems a lot but am sure I'll get there eventually! I will be delighted to get into the 11s as I really don't remember the last time I was there. It's been at least 5 years if not more! Considering I'm only 23 thats a long time!

So, onto todays food:

Breakfast:
WW lemon and lime yoghurt
Total 0.5pts

Lunch:
- Ham sandwich
(2 slices Kingsmill Crustless 50/50- 1.5pts, plus 1 slice Tesco value ham- 0pts)
- Packet of crisps
(Walkers Worcester Sauce- 2 pts)
- Fruit in jelly
(Dole Mandarins in jelly pot-1.5pts).
Total of 5pts

Dinner:
- Beef stirfry with noodles
(125g Tesco healthy living beef strips- 3.5pts, Amoy straight to wok medium noodles- 3.5pts, Blue Dragon Chow Mein Stir Fry Sauce- 1pt, Tesco Value Stir Fry veg and beansprouts- 1pt, 3tsps olive oil- 2.5pts, mushrooms- 0pts)
- Ice Lolly
(Walls lemonade sparkle ice lolly-0.5pt
Total 12pts

So today's total points is 17.5/21, leaving me 3.5 left in case I need a snack this evening. Would like to save at least 2 as am going out this weekend though!!

Felt a bit hungry this afternoon but in a way it was a good feeling, much better than feeling bloated and sluggish anyway! Have found it suprisingly easy to stick to plan as I don't feel deprived (my walkers at lunchtime were just the ticket!)

Hope tomorrow is just as easy

Thanks Irene

just can't beleive my stir-fry came to 11pts, by the time the oil was pointed it wasn't such a low point meal anymore!! Its been a good lesson for me

**IreneH** · 16th September, 2008

I use that it's not as good but no points

I have frylite in my cupboard and was torn between the 2. Had I known the oil was a pt per tsp I woud have gone for frylite but as I know its better went for the oil. Deffo frylite next time though!

**IreneH** · 16th September, 2008

do you like prawns? 60 g is 1 point
or chicken 60 g is 1 point

Irene xx

wannabslim · 16th September, 2008

Oooh yes I do like prawns- bargain for points

thanks! Do have some chicken in but fancied beef today and had enough points to do it so went for it hehe! It was delicious though, well worth it! xx

ames · 16th September, 2008

I count the Kingsmill 50/50 0.5 per slice? Making it 1 point for 2. How did you get 1.5? x

lea8198 · 16th September, 2008

Well done! I never feel full anymore and in a weird way it feels good. I wak up hungry and then I feel great! If I was stuffed now I would have no idea what to do with myself. I have been doing WW for just over 2 weeks and it is getting easier to eat less than i used to. Goodluck!

wannabslim · 16th September, 2008

Thanks Lea hun

thats very encouraging! Am sure I'll get used to it,especially having done a VLCD on which you aren't supposed to feel hunger but I did.. if I can deal with that I can do this!! How much have you lost so far?

Ames hun, the bread thing is interesting. 1 slice is 0.5pts but if you have 2 it goes up to 1.5pts. This may be due to rounding to the nearest 0.5, it happens for a few foods, for example my ham- 1 slice is 0pts but if you have 2 slices its 0.5pt! This is according to my WW calculator and also the WW points tracker on Esource AND have checked manually so am going to go with the 1.5pts

thanks for bringing it to my attention tho hun!

**Starlight** · 17th September, 2008

Glad youve got off to a good start
