Food diary of a 2013 bride!

[butterflymad]

Hello everyone.

Started slimming world new years day with my 3rd weigh in yesterday totalling my loss to 9lb. I am happy with this, as I can not afford to go to class was wondering if you lovely people would mind pointing me in the right direction.

I am getting married May 2013, need to loose as much as I can ready for August when I need to give my measurements for my dress.

I will start with today's diary below.

Please do comment if I am going wrong

Well. Changed to extra easy. As had some potatoes.

Not a good evening. Had some chocolate cake and 2 yorkshires so counting syns at 20. At least I haven't eaten the ryvitas or curly wurly.

Went swimming for half hour and played dance central for 45 min. Got my gym induction tomorrow so going to limit my syns for this week to max 10 but try stick to 5.

Took a lot for me to be honest with what I have eaten as I am a secretive eater.

Hope you all are well.

Hi, welcome to SW and Minimins. I quite a newbie too.

I was the same about the gym too, i had never been, and i was soooo nervous about going. When i left i was laughing to myself, wondering why i was so nervous.

Piri piri burgers sounds nice.

Good luck

Well here's the plan for today

EE

B - fibre plus bar, banana

L - mugshot pasta (Tom and herb) handful of strawberries and blackberries and muller light

D - slimming chicken Kiev (3.5) I think. Slimming chips and broccoli and cauliflower.

S - nectarine, maybe added to!

Exercise - 35min gym cardio

Drinks - tea, milk ss, water (trying to drink more)

Decided from Saturday I will be doing red and green days as can not eat as much superfree as I should so will be happier (list all weight previously on green days 2st! So I know it works for me)

Hope you all have a fab day!! Xx

Well I have neglected my food diary with being busy at work and home. Been I'll and have put on 5lb. Extremely disappointed just hope it does not effect this week too. Was suppose to go Zumba today but I have a blocked nose so think I won't go :-( plus nervousness is kicking in that I will be the biggest in the class.

New day new start.

Will enter diary every night after dinner.

Still havn't given up, i have had a few bad days, i.e pizza on friends birthday. Then had a chinese one night cause i had a bad day at work, and didn't want to cook. :cry: Other than that really good lol.

How are you finding it?

hello
you will have hard days but you will also have good days

Everytime someone offers you things like chocolate cake remember why you are following slimming world to start with. Picture yourself walking down the isle in your wedding dress looking amazing!! That's what I do everytime I'm fed up on the treadmill. I just make myself think about why I'm doing it.

It's fine to have treats, but they need to be just treats and not things you're having every day. You don't seem to be eating much at breakfast (or lunch). If you're not eating enough to satisfy yourself at meal times it's easy to give in to high syn foods then.

Remember: you're wedding pictures are going to be around forever..........don't feel disappointed looking at them because you didn't give slimming world your all. I'm getting married in less than 6 months and that's what I'm using to motivate myself. I have also bought a size 10 bikini to wear on honeymoon with my married name on the back. I know it's cheesy but it's something for me to work towards to and I WILL be there!!

If you need a chat you're welcome to pm me, or if you want to buddy up I'm here! xx

Do you have a food diary?

How are you getting on with your journey, are you able to recommend anything? I am doing it from home. Ido not mind the g enjoy it while I am there just need the confidence to go to a class!!

Would love to buddy up as I am doing it on my own it is hard. Would live to go through the process with someone who is losing it for their health and the wedding pictures.
