My Food Diary

[slimmer17]

Hi all,

So, here I am! I'm re-joining Slimming World - doing it on my own/weighing in at home too.

There's two reasons for this: 1. I have a wedding dress to get into and 2. I'm on anti-depressants that unfortunately aid weight gain.

Hoping to speak to new people, too!

Wish me luck

Apologies for the late in posting!

I hadn't eaten badly at all over Easter and seemed to have gained 3lb, so I weighed myself again toda to see if there was *any* difference and I'd lost the 3lb put on and an additional 2lb?! My body is not playing far. However, I haven't gone off plan, so still keeping at it.

Yesterday (18th April):

Breakfast: 2 poached eggs, spinach, mushrooms and an apple
Lunch: 1 small corn on the corb, chicken breast and carrots
Tea: Jacket Potato with cheese (7 syns), lettuce, cucumber, beetroot, crackerbread thing (3 syns), chicken with seasoning (2 syns)
Snacks: Orange, 2 boiled eggs, strawberries and fat free from frais, 2 teas with sugar (4 syns)

Total Syns: 16 syns (oops!)

I'm gonna try and limit how much eggs I eat because I seem to have loads in a day!

19th April:

Breakfast: porridge with milk (HexB and A) and an apple
Lunch: lettuce, cucumber, ham, 1 egg, beetroot and a Naked Food Singapore Curry Noodle Pot
Tea: Chinese Takeaway - Beef in Black Bean (8 Syns), Boiled Rice (FREE), 2 prawn crackers (2 syns) - I had about 3 chips (they weren't really that nice)!
Snacks: Orange, Muller Light Greek Style Mango (0.5 syns) and 3 tea with sugar (5 syns)

Total Syns: 15.05 syns - not good, again!

20th April:

Breakfast: 2 poached eggs, spinach and mushrooms (free), plus an apple
Lunch: Ham, lettuce, cucumber, jacket potato and beans
Tea: Parsnip soup, chicken and bacon panini (8 syns) - I didn't eat all of the panini and the chicken and bacon were grilled and had no sauce
Snacks: Orange, strawberries and from frais, sweets (0.5 syns for 2), Slice of wholemeal bread (HexB) and tea (HexA) with sugar (4 syns)

Total Syns: 14.5 syns

I did 40 lengths in the swimming pool last night, so I'm hoping that helps with going over syns the past two days.

Can anyone recommend a free/low syn substitute for the sugar in my tea? I've tried to have tea with no sugar, but I just can't seem to like the taste.

Canderel Green Stevia Granulated 1 level tbsp 1/2 Syn

It's the first artificial sugar that I think tastes like sugar.

I weighed myself today and I've lost 0.5lb. It's still a loss, but what am I doing wrong? I was expecting to at least get into the 10 stone bracket today. It's really starting to get to me because I'm trying so hard.

Can anyone provide guidance on where I could be going wrong? Do you think I'm having too much sugary foods and potatoes (sugar/carbs) Thanks
