What about fruit??? There isnt a great deal here Hun and I would be starving!! and I've had a gastric band!! Lol.
Have a look at the other food diaries to give you some help and tips.

The Mint bliss Cereal bar is 4 1/2 syns on all plans, so is the orange and chocolate and the raspberry and chocolate.
 
LOL, I'm not a 'big' eater, I tend to fill myself up on chocolate but stopping that now. I might grab some fruit when I'm out at lunchtime :)
 
Much better for you Hun!!

Go for it kizzib! The important thing is to keep recording your food, whether you overeat or not. I've managed to lose well over two stone steadily by using a food diary, and I'm still going - so they definitely do work! You should aim to lose no more than 2lbs per week though you may find that in the first week that you lose more than this. But to lose 7 pounds by xmas is definitely doable. I know you can do it!
 
aw thanks for the encouragement. I'm really nervous about doing this properly because before joining SW, I was never a big fruit/veg eater and a total chocaholic so its going to take a while to get my head around it! I want to lose 7lbs for xmas but obviously more in the long term

Right today so far: 12/11 thursday

B - 2 boiled eggs, glass of water, glass of OJ (2.5 syns)

snacks so far - 2 teas with a little bit of milk (HEa) and a jaffa cake (2.5 syns)

lunch - eating out with friend/colleague and had hamburger (no bun or sauce) with chips - no idea of syns :(

Dinner - beef sandwich using HEb.

I'm so depressed now! Normally I check syns beforehand but I didn't check the soup as I assumed it was free. I can't believe it I'm so mad :( I only had half of the carton though - do I count it as 11 or 5.5 syns then?

friday 20/11

B - scrambled eggs, strawberry mullerlight, cuppa tea using HEa

L - roast chicken sandwich (HEb) diet coke

D - steak with new potatoes, diet coke

NO syns whoo hoo :D
 
my feedback would be that ur working from the wrong direction, its all syns and very little free food. Try to make your main meals using plenty of free food and variety, then have syns in adition, rather than lots of your meal elements being syned. Also, always check syn value before eating, and try to find syn free/lower alternatives.
sounds to me that u need to plan out what you will be having so u dont fall into trap of grabbing something sinful or not having very much coz ur having little things with lots of syns. u'll enjoy ur menu so much more xx
