Maybe this will stop me snacking so much if I have to write it down!
Any advice or thoughts VERY welcome!!!

Breakfast-
Mint muller light, 2x alpen lights (HEB), and a big bowl of fruit salad.

Then snacked at 11am on a mint muller light, banana and a packet of velvet crunch (4 syns)

Big plate of pea curry with chicken and rice, and salad, was delicious! And a frozen muller light.

Then snacked on a small bag of snack a jacks (4.5 syns) and an ice lolly (2 syns)

Hi & Welcome to this website & SW! As you get into the plan you will soon find your way around, if you get stuck just ask, someone usually has the answer, remember we are all doing it for the same reason....
Best advice I can give is make a weekly menu then write a food diary so you can check when/if you have a sudden weight increase (or lose!) you can trace it.
It also helps with the overall cost of your food.If you have eaten the right food you will find that you dont need to snack between meals as you will still be full!
Good luck.

hi bernadetteandmum, i have been amazed in my first week, after calculating my syns etc, how much i was previously eating way too much pre SW!! i eat far more sensible portions, i dread to think where i would have come in on the syns before i started SW, it doesnt bear thinking about, it has really changed the way i think about food.
good luck in your SW journey, and welcome to the forum, it's a great site for advice, tips or just a natter!

Thanks Pete, I am really enjoying SW so far! I tried making menus but find it very difficult sticking to them, too much snacking! Well done on your weight loss, amazing!

Hahhahaha, I wouldn't like to know how many I had previously either! Thanks I am really enjoying it so far, just need to work on portion control and snacking when I'm not hungry!
I love this website, thinking about bringing it up in group if I can pluck up the courage!
