Freshstartnewme- 8 months to do it food diary!

[Freshstartnewme!]

Hey everyone :wavey:

Anne Marie- you should definately start a food diary, it helps you track what you are eating, makes sure you count syns because if you write everything down you can't accidently forget you ate something and not syn it.

Also read through other people's it really helps to get idea's on different things to eat and try!

Muffintop- Glad the omlette was nice! They are so easy and you really can chuck anything in them!

Well I just made a big bowl of pasta salad with pasta, tuna, gratered carrot, onion, white cabbage, spring onion and cherry tomatoes. Going to mix it with EL mayo and then add cucumber and gratered cheese tomorrow and have it for my lunch! YUM!

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping strong

Going to edit food diary above with today's food.

My weigh in is on Monday (at home). I am finding it really good so far. I was just saying to ruthhayes that it is down to this site, that I think I am doing so well. It really has spurred me on. There is so much help and advise and genuine support. It is great for me - because I dont go to the meetings. I used to go but the one i went to I only did a few weeks - it was far too commercialised - she had two meetings one after the other - so many people in it, i was just a number not a name if you know what I mean. I know there would have been other groups better but thought I would save myself the fiver! Someone said I have to keep the menu exciting. I think me not drinking wine for almost a week is a biggy for me!! Think I have saved myself about 2000 calories just on that!!! (one and a half bottles a vino each and every night! xx

Hey hun,

Well good luck for Monday, try and have a good weekend and I am sure you will have a loss, let me know what you lose!

I was the same with class, didn't enjoy it, so doing it at home. This website has been amazing and people are so helpful, really good for finding out syn values. That is great that you have cut down on wine, are you having any at all? Think of all the calories you are saving.

Hi claire,

No not had a drop of wine. I thought it would be a real big problem for me as have been a heavy drinker for about 7 years. With me i have to have none - all or nothing. It is like when i smoked, I suddenly one day said enough is enough - that was five years ago nearly and not had one since and never intend to. I am hoping this is what will happen with me regarding drink and weight!! will post on monday am by weight loss. Going past those scales every morning and night without stepping on is hard but I am determined to just weigh myself once a week!!

Very well done honey, I used to smoke to and gave up about a year ago, best thing I have done. I really think you will have a great loss, drink lots of water flush it all out! Do you have a food diary/weight loss diary on here? Would love to follow

hi claire,

Thanks hun for your reply. Yes am drinking about 1-2ltrs water a day - its going up gradually without me even realising! I have had a food diary going since monday but I think it probably got lost in boringdom!! its under EE diary of second/third starter - bit of a boring heading i think!! Please read it if you get chance I would love your feedback.
Well done on smoking too - if we can do that then surely dropping a few pounds not going to be a problem lol!!! wink wink

Hiya Donna,

Lovely to see you back hun! How are you getting on and feeling? Hope things have settled down for you a little bit. I have been snooping around your diary looking for inspiration!

Yes Missfatpants- start your diary so Donna and I can snoop! :sign0151:

Donna- I find aslong as I have around the right amount for a HEB its fine for me- I don't want to have to have wholegrain or certain bread for the rest of my life, so just learning a portion (1 slice instead of 3!) is helping me. SW is a life plan for me so going to do it my way a bit!

Anyway lots of love
