Hi, my name is Helen and I've just joined sw online. I have work collegues who go to meetings and have lost really well but I can't make any local meetings (single mum to 6 year old DD and no babysitter!) so have decided to go it alone.
I'm really not sure that I'm doing it right as I seem to be eating an awful lot-and doing an awful lot of washing up!LOL!!
So far I've done extra easy.
So I'll start posting my diary in the hope that you can point me in the right direction if I'm going wrong-and because I love reading people's food and weight loss diaries!
Tuesday
B-milky coffee made with 400mls 1% milk-HEa + 2 syns for extra 100mls.
L-2 lean back bacon, 2 eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes all frylighted, 1/2 tin(big tin) baked beans and 2 small WM toast-HEb.
T-1/2 pack waitrose garlic and coriander couscous-0.5 syns, waitrose lemon and herb cooked chicken fillets-1.5 syns,pepper, mushrooms, red onion and courgette all frylighted.
Total syns 4
Wednesday
B-coffee as yesterday-HEa and 2 syns.
L-1/2 pack waitrose couscous-0.5
cucumber, tomato, lettuce, sainsburys sweet chilli chicken fillet-not in the syns calculator, had 1/2 pack so counted it as 1 syn. 1 tbsp light mayo-3
Mid afternoon (as tea was to be at McDs and I didn't want to waste syns there) I had banana, apple, 2 clementines, 1 small WM bread-HEb and frylighted mushrooms with 1 lean back bacon.
McD's-only had a coffee-yippee!!!-counted 1 syn for the small amount of milk in it.
Supper-batchelors pasta'n sauce, mild cheese and brocoli, made with water-0.5, small onion, mushrooms and 2 rashers lean back bacon frylighted and then all mixed together-I was stuffed!!
Total syns-8.
Does this seem right? So far I've not had any 'treats' as such but I have worked out the syns for a few of my favourites. I love my morning milky coffee and have 1% milk as its loads cheaper and DD likes it, so this for me is one of my treats.
I seem to have had a lot of bacon and mushrooms!!-there will be mushrooms today-making a beef goulash for tea but not any bacon!LOL!!
