Hi Josie! I have swapped over to WW because I'm following the same diet as my friend so it made sense and I know she wouldn't get SW lol! I will still follow your diary though and check how you're doing, looks like you're doing really well!! I'm coming back to SW once I reach my goal though as I love the food so much, but I think WW will help me lose faster xx

 

[Josiecat]

No worries I'll look you up on the ww thread and see how you're getting on. Good luck with the new plan and I hope you enjoy it

Ok so week 2 wi today and I lost 2lbs. I am more than pleased with that and as long as I can keep losing 1-2 lbs a week I'm more than happy. I'm going to keep to an allowance of 105 syns a week but if weight loss stops I'll cut that back to maybe 70 a week.

Wednesday Red Day​

Weetabix and Milk with 1 sugar (hex a/b and 1 syn)
2 alpen light (hex B)
42g reduced fat cheese (hex a)
small portion spicy sweet potato soup (2.5 syns)
chicken and spinach thai curry with a small amount of cooked rice (6 syns)
Barcardi with coconut and pineapple (11 syns)
Large meringue nest (5.5 syns)
Had a crazy late night snack binge so now syns have shot up to 40 oops! totm on its way I think..​

Total 40 syns 65 left for week​

The pina colada style drink was a little extravagant at 11 syns but I really had a craving when I saw a carton of pineapple and coconut drink unopened from Christmas in the fridge. Just thought about adding it to some bacardi and that was me finished with hehe!
It is funny as I have days when I am not interested in eating very much and stick to plan easily but other days I want naughty things and go over syns. Luckily they are balancing each other out though, guess that's the beauty of sw and why people stick at it for so long.​

 

[donnajt]

Ooh I am loving the cheeky pina colada why don't I ever find anything so interesting in my kitchen cupboards!!!

Well done on the 2lb loss, did enjoy your scales fiasco!

Good luck for the week ahead, donna x
