Lauralozzle's food diary - 1 lb at a time!

[lauralozzle]

So, I haven't logged in here for a LONG time. I've just about jumped from slimming world to weight watchers to calorie counting the last time.

I saw my best losses when I was following slimming world and sticking to success express. Success Express is an old plan but I get on with it well and have always had good steady losses on it.

Rules are as follows:

• 2/3s super free/super speed with every meal.
• 3 meals a day
• Any snacks between meals has to be either fruit/veggies otherwise it's syned! (So an extra slice of ham to pick at would be syned like on a Green Day if not part of a meal
• When you syn something you take the higher number
• You get an extra Hexa and Hexb

It's like a cross between extra easy and eesp days (sp sort of replaced it)

I don't go to group but have been on and off so many times I know the plan inside out!!!

So... I'm back on the wagon! I'm still keeping an eye on calories (but more to keep track of macros - mainly protein as I know I don't eat enough and it has staying power!)

My new weigh in will be Sunday Morning at home. I don't go to group - watching the pennies!! But I might set aside a fiver each weigh day and when I hit my first target get something nice!!

I'm calling main target at 10 stone so 1 stone 2.4 lbs to go!!!

Success Express sounds good, I remember it vaguely from doing SW years ago.. seems a bit less restrictive than SP. Are you going to do it all the time or just for first week boost?

 

[lauralozzle]

I plan to do it all the time - much less restrictive than SP - it's like Extra Easy but 2/3s instead of 1/3 and I like that snacking between meals is restrictive because that's where the weight comes from. For example - I have pulled pork in the fridge that is really low syn for a meal and if I was doing EE I know I would have gobbled it all up by now! But on Success Express I can't because I'd have to syn it like I was doing a green day so not worth it!!!

Plus, I like the extra healthy extras!!!!
