Dizzy's Slimming world diary

[dizzydawnie]

Hello :wavey:

I'm a dreadful "dieter", lose and then regain, have tried everything in the world, my eyes are truly bigger than my belly (but not by much ) so this is it! I've rejoined SW which I haven't done for several years, and certainly haven't done it since EE was introduced, so a bit rusty but hopefully I'll soon gobet into the swing of things again.

I've got 5 stones to lose, but I'm just focussing on setting mini (and hopefully realistic) targets, the first one is to lose 18lbs by Xmas Eve.

Wednesday 3 Oct (Green)
I know it is only Tuesday - but my work pattern sometimes doesn't give me time to do my diary on the day......

Breakfast - 1 slice Wholemeal toast (HEB) with half tin baked beans

Lunch - Pasta with prawns (HEB) tomatoes, cucumber, pepper mixed with 1 tbsp Light Mayo (3 syns).

Tea - SW chips with half tin baked beans and 2 fried eggs

Snacks - banana, fruit, ML yog, mugshot, milk (HEA) for coffee, lots of NAS/water

Seems like your doing really well

thank you, I am trying to be really focussed but I have to say that today (Original) I am absolutely ravenous!!!

Going to plan ahead for an extra easy tomorrow to try to stop these hunger pangs!!

Decided against EE today as couldn't be bothered doing anything last night to take into work so have just thrown a salad together.

Hiya. Just been having a nosey through, can I ask why you are just having 7 syns a day? The plan is designed to have 5 - 15 which I am normally top end of that lol! A little bit of what ya fancy can do you good ya know

 

[dizzydawnie]

Hi Lorna

because last week I had the upper end of syns and was disappointed with my loss. the previous week I had not had many syns and had a good week, I chose 7 because I am aware in week 1 I didn't actually eat enough syns, and I've read so many threads on here that I have decided to try to find the middle ground that suits me best (which is what a lot of posters have done so that they know what suits them best and gives a consistent weight loss).

Its all trial and error and I'm enjoying playing around with it!

[Lorna83]

Good luck with it mate. Hope it works. I could never cut it down to 7 lol. I use that just on sauces in a day
