I have decided to start a diary and keep myself on track. I have lost weight with SlimmingWorld before, and was very happy and enjoying this healthy way of eating,but the fad diet monster crept back inside my brain and since then i have been on and off fat diets and have now put a lot of the weight back on. love this website as you're all so helpful! looking forward to reading your diaries! :bighug: xxxx

so ,considering i started today without having done a good healthy slimmingworld friendly shop i haven't done too badly....

Breakfast - porridge with semi skimmed milk and chopped banana (HEA + HEB)

lunch - Salad (free) with plain jacket potato (free)

Dinner - chinese king prawn chow mein with a side of steamed broccoli ,i did ask for them to use no oil in the chow mein so that it would be free,but they basically said it wouldn't cook/taste right so said they would use a teeny bit :/ hmmm book says 7syns for chicken chow mein,but this was quite a long tub so will count 10 syns.

Drinks - lots of water and a diet coke!

Hey dyingtobethin, I just started my diary today as well - and same story as yourself, I lost weight on SW before and then lost the run of myself. I'm making it my priority for this year!!

You've made a great start but I think I read somewhere that the syns for chow mein have been revised upwards. I wouldn't worry about one meal off plan though - I had a lovely meal out last Thursday and I think It kick started my metabolism again!!

Edit.have had another chocolate bar at 6.5 syns.so disappointed in myself.been craving sugar all day.I think it's because I'm a proper sugar junkie usually and was having 3 spoonfuls of sugar in my tea all day(gross I know) now using sweeteners. have also had contraceptive implant removed so hormones are a mess :( hopefully a better day tomorrow

21.5 syns for the day :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Very upset with myself .last few days have been very stressful and guess what I did?I turned to junk food. Feeling very annoyed.

Today was supposed to be my first weeks weigh in. And ive lost a grand total of 0lb.it hasnt helped that im on a very tight budget atm.desperately need healthy food in the house.

Have had egg.bacon mushrooms on dry toast (HEB) for breakfast.
