Hey S33W

I've been where you are. I'm also a SW goer. If you would like to post your diaries here with us and post a daily food diary and we can see what we can do to help. I maintained for 2 months last year only to discover that I was eating a 12 syn bagel for lunch most days not a hexb!

It could be something simple. Some people even post up pictures of their daily food as it helps them keep accountable.

Have you considered doing a sp day? I did that a few times to kick start my system.

Your diet is good and varied. I don't think you are eating enough speed food at mealtimes, I'm not a professional, I'm just a dieter like yourself. You're not a fan of veg so I think what you are putting on your plate is minimal at mealtimes. It should be a good third of your plate, maybe even more...... I'm not judging and I might be talking crap but here's a suggestion.

Try to put your speed veggies on your plate first, before anything else. Then place your meat and potatoes (or whatever you have on the menu) onto the speed veg, this will allow whatever sauce you are using to flavour your vegetables too. I think it could make a difference.

I'm actually envious of your breakfast, I really am try adding an extra piece of fruit to them it will all help.

I often chop up an apple in chunks and an orange and cover them in a ff yogurt for extra speed food and its yummy

I'd put the speed on your mealtime plate first and I bet things will move then

Hi thank you for your comments all helps and taken on boarded don’t like fruit in cereal so my plan is to start having a mixed fruit pot just after and will give it a go and will cut done on pasta intake but don’t really like anything else rice sneaks with cous cous now and again let’s hope this week is better

Your diary looks ideal. I would say there is a lack of speed in parts but you are on free food and bang on point with syns etc. What I would think would maybe you could try an SP week to see will it help flush your system. I know I do them every so often when I'm feeling sluggish and help to boost my losses refresh my body.
Make a big list of all the speed food you eat and plan around them. Im very fussy myself. Unless it's covered in curry sauce I won't eat much veg and my salads consist of lettuce, cucumber and peppers

So this week started well (will continue) breakfast added grapefruit (half) before cereal choice and as I don’t like fruit with cereal made up pot of fresh fruit (strawberries apple plumbs few grapes) have those just after lunch added more speed food (mainly salad etc but upped portions) dinner reduced portion size but upped speed fingers x a week of this will work lol
