Bex's on the right road food diary

[bex196]

Hello All,
My name is Rebecca and after this is my hopefully sucessful food diary to a slimmer me.I tried SW before 2 years ago and lost approx 10lbs but I dont think I really got the plan and then I got pregnant so it ended there.Since having my daughter a year ago now I havent gotten back down to my pre-pregnancy weight and have decided after a month of complete crappy eating I'm sick of being a flabby crabby and so its time the gloves come off and I get my act together and stop looking at other people enviously and how skinny they are and do it for myself.Willpower is not my friend however.
Although I'm starting today I'm easing gently into it and have chosen to do my weighins on Saturday mornings as that means for me that I have to be good for some of the weekend and not the binge feast that I would have previously allowed myself to have as I'd then have a few days of being an eating angel before I hopped on the scales.
So as I'm a chicken I havent weighed myself and will do so on Saturday after I have a few good days under my belt.
But as I committed to start posting today I will do so.
Breakfast-2 Weetabix-Semi-Skimmed Milk,Clementine.
Lunch-Baked Potato and Beans
Dinner-TBC
Snacks-Clementine,Coffee.

As I said I never really felt I got the plan before and from reading all the wonderful posts on here I see know that the 1/3 superfree food at meals is very nb. I'm also not going to the classes as I the times dont suit me and I've seen my sister do it alone and lose nearly 3 stone.
All tips, advice and help gratefully accepted and appreciated.
I'll post my starting weight on Saturday but in any event I'm starting my target weightloss at 20lbs.

Hey, good luck with your journey. I'm off to class for the first time tomorrow- nervously excited! I need to go to class so I've got some motivation, I don't think I could go it alone. I'm going to do a food diary too, just hope it helps

 

[bex196]

Good Luck Erica,I did find the meetings good but they just took so long that I couldnt commit to two hours in the evening time when I work full-time and having two smallies at home.
Do you mind me asking how do you get all your stats on the side of your profile, I thought I filled them in but for some reason they are not appearing.Thanks

Tuesday-8th January
Breakfast-Porridge made with milk my DH made is so not too sure that he used the semi-skimmed milk and a small teaspoon of honey and blueberries.(hex A)
Snacks-banana
Lunch-Italian Restaurtant Bruschetta minus the Olive Oil on the tomatoes and bread-Syn 4
Pasta with tomatoe sauce, courgettes and prawns-free but I'd say the sauce had some olive oil in it.
Dinner-Potato salad
Snack-yoghurt
small amount of chocolate birthday cake its my sons 4th birthday and so it would be rude not too(any excuse)!!!.
I only bought a small caburys chocolate gateux cake on purpose and theres a few comign to sing happy birthday to him so theres not much chance of a large slice..
Hopefully some exercise.

 

[bex196]

Syns for cake -6 plus bread-4=10and I'm sure the remainder of the syns will be taken up by my tomato sauce.
Had a fast pace 30 mins walk too.

 

[bex196]

Well so I had a sneak peak on the scales this morning and THEY HAVE NOT MOVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not happy at all.heres were I'm going to be total honest and say that Im not measuring my milk but I really dont think I have that much in a day at all.I have it for my breakfast,then in teas and coffees during the day I would never have over 3/4 a day.ok I have picked if I'm honest when I was making my DS fairy cakes so maybe I used up my syns for the week while I did that but I really dont think so.I had a few drinks on saturday night and nibbled on some nuts but they were a tiny portion.
I was really hoping for a good loss but seems impossible unless I take nil by mouth till Saturday.PLEASE HELP, how does my food diary look to those of you who have had sucess on the plan.Obviously with my little admission above I'm not writing down every single thing and have forgotten a few things but not that many.
If anyone would show me there food diary I'd be happy to learn.

Thanks all from a slightly depressed Rebecca.x
