Starting Slimming World on Tuesday 5/8/14 (cos that's when my group will meet and don't think I can do it without the books.

Here is my plan for Tuesday.

2 slices wholemeal bread from 400g loaf (HEx b)
Lean bacon, grilled Omelette, 3 tsp lurpak lightest spreadable - 3 syns (for cooking the eggs)

Hi, hope you don't mind me leaving a message on your food diary?!

Just wanted to say that it all looks good and I hope you are finding it all ok.

Hi Tracey, no I don't mind at all. I made the diary to keep track but also so that others can get inspiration if it's needed. I think I've got off to a good start on SW and I'm mostly enjoying the food. I'm currently trying to wean myself onto fry lite spray as I couldn't stand it at first. Switching to stevia sweetener instead of sugar and diet soda or sugarfree squash instead of fruit juices has been tough but well worth saving the syns. The real difficulties have been when I'm out though. :)
 
Yeah I also find it hard when I'm out and I have found that you need to do so much planning and organising if you want to stay on track but when I do I find it a lot easier to stick at it!
