Extra help to keep going

I did SW after my first pregnancy and did ok but after the second one, it all went wrong so although I only started on Monday I feel the need to record my food intake & excercise so here it goes:

Breakfast: Fat free yogurt + 1 banana

Lunch: Fish + couscous + oven cooked veg (onion, courgette, peppers)

Snack: 2 slices of Nimble (Hexb) + 4 Laughing cow light (Hexa)

Dinner: Homemade veg soup

I am off to the gym for 1h30 doing cardio........

I am really not good with syns, so for the first few weeks I will only use them if I am out........
 
Today is an extra easy day:

Breakfast: Fat Free Yogurt + fruit (Apple + Banana)

Lunch: King prawn + veg (stir fry) + noodles (all cooked with fry light) + soy sauce & chinese spices

Snack: Fruit + 2 slices on Nimble + 4 Laughing cow light

Dinner: Homemade soup (left over from last night) + fruit

Drinks: Water and black coffee

Extra easy is quite new to me so I would appreciate any comments on this so I can make sure I am doing it correctly. Thank you!!
 
hey libellule

i'm quite new to this tbh but from what i've read you really do need to be getting at least 5 syns a day... i'm doing that by having 2 slices of toast before bed..

best of luck with it!
 
Today started quite well.............

Breakfast: Fat free yogurt, strawberries and grapes

Lunch: Jacket potato with baked beans

...........then we were invited to a bbq (in the rain) and it went a little wrong:

Chicken (marinated in honey), colslaw (homemade with light Mayo), potato salade (made with mango, onions, curry powder, light mayo)
In terms of syns.........it was about 2 tbs of Light Mayo + the honey from the marinade but I don't know how many syns that is.

The good thing is I was driving back so stayed clear of the wine.........
 
Breakfast: Fat free yogurt, pear + banana

Lunch: Pasta, king prawns, Garlic, Parsley + grapes

Snack: 2 slices of Nimble + 4 laughing cow light

Hi libellule33,

I'm new to SW and am doing EE too, your meals look great and I wish I could keep the syns down as low as you :)

Thanks for the notes on the BBQ, I am off to one this weekend and was worrying about what to have. You've given me a couple of ideas on what to bring, thanks. :)
