Jodi's Weight Loss Diary!

[jodibbs]

Okay so after reading a lot of weight loss diaries on here I thought I should start my own. I'm doing Slimming World, but because I'm doing it at home and not going to group I need all the cheering on I can get from here! I'm currently 14st 3lb (I lost 2lb in my first 5 days! Started on 13/06/2014) and my goal weight is 11st 0lb. I know this weight is still considered 'overweight' for my height of 5ft 4 but I feel that this is a healthy weight for ME (I've was 11st about 4 years ago) so that's what I'm going for thank you in advance for everyone's support.. and for reading my ramblings!

So my food diary for today is:

Breakfast
Melon, pineapple, strawberries, banana and 35g of 50% fruit muesli

Snack 1
Carrot sticks

Lunch
Salmon with lettuce, tomatoes, spring onions, cucumber, beetroot, and two hard boiled eggs

Snack 2
Blueberries and apple

Dinner
Shepherds pie made with Quorn mince, tinned tomatoes, garlic, herbs, mushrooms, onion and new potatoes. Broccoli and green beans on the side.

I'm pretty new to Slimming World so let me know if I'm going wrong anywhere! I know for your Healthy Extras you are allowed bread and dairy etc. but I don't really eat bread on a regular basis (maybe twice a month) and the same with dairy except for skimmed milk in my tea. I'm also not a fan of crisps, but a huge sweet-a-holic so I'm totally cutting myself off from sugar as I know if I have chocolate as a snack every now and then I'll go crazy and scoff 5 bags of Malteasers in 10 seconds haha! So it's kind of Success Express that I'm doing... not really sure as the syn counting confuses me a bit.. but yeah I'm rambling now so yeah thanks!

[jodibbs]

Cheated a bit today and had a couple of slices of Warburtons fruit loaf... only 88 calories a slice so I didn't feel too bad about it and I don't usually have bread so this is kind of my HEXB and syns??? Trying to tell myself it was okay lol!

 

[jodibbs]

I had a bit of a funny tummy last night... and woke up this morning starving! (hence the big breakfast) and thankfully I feel a bit better today. I'm wondering if I'm not eating enough fibre/carbs like pasta and grains etc. as most of what I eat is like 90% fruit and veg. Might have to start taking some vitamin tablets..

I'm craving sugar really bad this week but trying to resist and only eating fruit instead... might treat myself to an Options hot chocolate later if I'm really desperate!

I also weighed myself this morning and I've gained 2 1/2 lbs... I'm putting this down to water retention because I got my period today (sorry tmi!) so that's why I weigh more... gonna stick at it though so next week hopefully I'll see a big loss

[jodibbs]

[jojo14]

Fingers crossed for you

 

[jodibbs]

Wow! I went AWOL last week because I was off work, and didn't think to update this while I was off. I was surprisingly well behaved last week, and because I don't really eat much when I'm at home (doing nothing), what I did eat was very healthy pretty much what I would usually eat in a week of my food diary but without lunch and 1 less snack really. Because of this I lost 2lb last week which I'm very happy with and I'm continuing the healthy eating this week and feeling very positive about it! (even if I am back at work )

Breakfast:
Melon, pineapple and banana

Snack 1:
Carrot sticks

Lunch:
Tuna flakes, cucumber, tomatoes and lettuce

Snack 2:
Apricots and blueberries

Dinner:
Roast dinner that I didn't eat yesterday! Chicken breast, 2 roast potatoes, broccoli, carrots, sweetcorn, peas and gravy.

 

[jodibbs]

Fingers crossed for you

Thank you!

Today's food diary

Breakfast
Pineapple and banana

Snack 1
Carrots

Lunch
Tuna flakes, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce

Snack 2
Apricots and blueberries

Dinner
Stir fry with Quorn, beanshoots, courgette, mushrooms, red onion, spring onion, garlic, red pepper, green pepper, soy sauce and leftover Singapore noodles.


I feel like I need to mix up my snacks and breakfast as I'm getting a bit bored of them now... but not too sure what I fancy. Maybe melon and grapes... but I think because that's mostly water it's not going to fill me up as much. Might start having 'overnight oats' to give me a kick start in the morning, especially as I'm planning to start cycling to work

 

[jodibbs]

I tried making 'overnight oats' for my breakfast... and I've gotta say, I love them! Although I haven't really been sticking to plan this week.. but still eating healthily (if that makes sense?)

Tuesday's food:

Breakfast
Pineapple and banana

Snack 1
Carrot sticks

Lunch
Tuna flakes, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and Kraft fat free french dressing

Snack 2
Apricots and blueberries

Dinner
Tescos Meat Free range; 1 mexican bean burger and 1 sweet potato (?) burger. Singapore noodles, with chilli paste and a dash of sweet chilli sauce, courgettes, mushroom, peppers and onions. (This was super yummy!!)


Yesterday's food:

Breakfast
Overnight oats with 35g porridge oats, Onken mango and apple fat free yoghurt, apricots, pineapple and bananas

Snack 1
Carrot sticks

Lunch
Tuna flakes, 2 hard boiled eggs, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber

Snack 2
Apricots and blueberries

Dinner
My boyfriend made chicken and pasta (which is my favourite meal he makes!) Chicken pieces seasoned with herbs, pepper, garlic, with pasta in tomato pasta sauce with a sprinkling of cheese. I ate waaay too much of this! Pasta is my ultimate weakness and I haven't had it in so long I couldn't help but over indulge.

I also had a Tesco caramel chocolate ice cream with lunch! (oops!)


Today's food diary
