Hey

How are you finding it? Looking good to me!

I really like it! So far, I'm not eating as healthily as I could be, especially as I'm going back to uni soon, so trying not to go to the supermarket that much.

But I'm within my points, so I'm very happy!

1 points left over - found it extremely difficult to use all points today, leading to my massive snacking fest at the end of the day!

EDIT: Just remembered that I had 2 sesame coated caramel cashews as well, but the packet did not have saturated fat on it, so couldn't work out points, I'll count that as 0.5 then

Looking good
If the sat fat isnt listed then halve the fat content and use that figure x

Normal cashews are 10 for 1pt so you will definatly have covered the 2

I'm such a grazer - it makes me feel better eating little and often. Before WW, I used to try and eat three big meals, but now, I realise that could have been doing me more harm than good!

Today was the first real struggle I've had to stay within my points...planning is the key! I was constantly sooo hungry today...neeeed to plan tomorrow! 2 points saved so far.

 

[Lozzy Gozzy]

Congratulations on the weight loss! You must be so proud of yourself!! And your diary makes a brilliant read, lots of good food ideas!

 

[Fulltum]

congrats on the loss thats fab :clap:
The diary is looking good and I may come in and pinch a few ideas when I get bored of my own meals lol

 

[Carthago delenda est]

Thanks for the encouragement! I just hope I can keep it up!

I'm not eating very healthily at the moment as I'm trying to use up most of the food in the cupboards before I go to back to uni next week. Hopefully once I'm there, I'll get into the habit of batch cooking more healthy meals

OK, so I will probably find some way of using up the rest of my points up to the value of 17. Would be lovely if I could save 4 today, though 2 would be fine as the minimum. Will hopefully be getting some exercise as I need to go shopping for back to uni stuff Yay for books

I also need to stop eating so many carbs! Not enough protein - this will have to change soon, especially if I'm to start working out!
