Going It Alone - Gooner's Extra Easy Food Diary

[goonersck01]

I started my SW journey with a class, but just before xmas weight started to yo-yo or sts, so I have decided to go do sw from home and use the help and support of minimins as my class .

I must also get into the habit and discipline of posting a daily food diary as this is when I tend to get the better weight losses.

Hi Lushx

Re my syns - we have 105 for the week, I start with this and deduct as I use them. So some days I have more than 10-15 and some days it may be a lot less, but i don't exceed my week's allowance.

 

[goonersck01]

Hi big bear - great idea, I'd like that.
