Hey i'm Emma!

I've decided that trying to keep a weightloss diary might help my weightloss journey, so that i can look back at what i've done and also hopefully get lots of helpful and motivating comments and ideas from people!

My slimming past: I did slimming world for about a year and a half, but had to stop at the beginning of last summer because my uni course led to a year abroad in Russia. I managed to lose 2 stone, but then after stopping i put it all back on!! :cry:

So after weighing myself after Christmas and honestly being shocked that i was back to my starting weight, I've was doing SW by myself with a magazine subscription and my old books. It was incredibly difficult without the online syn-searcher, and also because the Russians don't really believe in low-fat food!! I managed to lost 12.5lbs which I was pleased about, but then my mum came to visit and then i came home, which led to me putting a few pounds back on.

I've rejoined my old class, been doing it for 4 weeks now and only managed to get a 3lb loss so far. A bit disappointed :sigh: that it hasn't been more, but hey! a loss is a loss!!

My goal at the moment is to lose 61lbs all together (about 4st), but ofcourse that depends on how i feel as i get along.

So i'm gonna do my best to write my food diary every day, posting up pictures as and when and hopefully get some better results!!! wish me luck!! xx

oh and if anyone has any comments/criticism/suggestions, feel free!! i really do need as much support and advice as i can get!!! x
 
Tomorrow's weigh-in day:scale: I haven't had the best of weekends, i've had pizza, chocolate and icecream :17729: (i enjoyed it though and won't be enjoying it again for a LONG time!!) so a gain is expected.

HOWEVER i was very good up until the weekend, and i'm being super good today!

Breakfast: Scrambled egg with spring onions and a bit of butter (2) on 2 slices of nimble (B) and a massive lump of salad (lettuce, carrot, cabbage) on the side, with a nice big mug of green tea! :D

Lunch: Meeting the OH in Subway so ive looked and planned a turkey breast and ham salad (FREE!!) with a bit of sweet onion sauce (2)

Tea: I'm planning to do Honey glazed pork chops which will work out at 2 Syns. Served with cheesy mash (A) and some other veg around it!! looking forward to that, i'll post up a pic of it aswell when i do it (if it looks good!!)

Total syns planned for today: 6

Hope everyone else is doing well!! x

morning!!

went food shopping last night, so i've got a bit more seletion!!

Thismorning's breakfast was a fry-up: bacon, quorn sausages (3) and a fried egg (fry-light ofcourse!!)

Bought some Spaghetti hoops so thats my plan for lunch, might chuck some chicken in with it!

plans for dinner is chicken kiev (the OH loves it!) that will consist of chicken, cheese (A) and 2xnimble (B) with some veggies on the side!!

weighing in tomorrow morning, so hoping that being as good as possible the last few days would have helped!!

im going away again tomorrow, just for the night, so not sure how i'll get on food-wise, but i'll do my best!!

Dinner plans changed, did chicken stuffed with cheese (a) and wrapped in bacon with some broccoli and batchelors chicken and mushroom pasta on the side!

Good thing of today, got a new baby goldfish to keep mine company, hoping it doesn't get eaten!!

Anyway!! Try again tomorrow, got roast chicken with lots of lovely veggies! Gonna attempt honey glazed carrots (fingers crossed!!)
