The ONE critical error you have made is weighing yourself before weigh in. DON'T!! Just see how you get on in 2 days, your food diary looks fine.

I weighed myself midweek once and it said i'd put 2lbs on but then I got to weigh in and lost 2lb. So I learnt to stop doing that.

that looks ok, like she said above dont weigh yourself lol! mine said i gained 1lb, was so upset yet in class i lost 4lb!

Oh an all i can say from your diary is id eat more superfree foods with your meals if possible, i have alot more veg etc. but thats me.. x

It all looks fine, and as mentioned before, dont weigh midweek cos your body goes up and down each day! xxx keep at it, it works! x

Just a few notes/observations.

Are you vegetarian/vegan? - I notice a lack of meat & fish but plenty of quorn products.

You are aware as a Hex B is is two Weetabix and the Alpen light is an additional 3 syns? - (not a great problem but worth mentioning) - if you're having 2 HEX B's then you can have 2 Alpen Lights.

Also, what about drinks/fluids? - are you drinking plenty of water?

As already mentioned, are you getting enough superfree - at least 1/3 of your plate?

What is your fitness and exercise regime like?

Oh and weighing - whilst weighing in during the week will not harm your weightloss directly, indirectly it may influence your choices. For example, a couple of pound off midweek may cause you to "relax and let go a little" or a gain might make you think "What the hell? - might as well just go for it" - If you have to weigh - and I know some people are obsessed, make sure you pre-plan your shopping, meals, snacks and syns in advance and don't alter the plan!

Because of the lack of meat/fish product I assume you are following mainly Green plan? (2 hex a's & b's) or even Extra Easy (1 hex a&b)

One last thing re: the scales. After your first WI (I assume you're going to class) weigh yourself at home when you get in wearing the same gear in order to calibrate your homes scales.

Above all, get some more superfree and especially superspeed in you including bran, and wholemeal, (pasta, rice etc.) and Ryvita.

You might care to introduce a few more hex's and mix them up a bit more

I would say more fruit and veg?? If you replace low fat super noodles with a chicken and mushroom pasta in sauce- you can mix a pepper, onion, tomatoes in and its lovely.

Try and have your 5 a day at least.
