New girl-Gayle's Diary - all help and support welcome please. xxx

[MRSAKY1]

Hi all, My name is Gayle, I went on the scales yesterday morning and could of cried, I have put so much weight on, but this was defiantly the shock i needed, every weekend i say i am going to start my diet on Monday but Monday comes and go's and the diet never starts, I thought by doing a diary and hopefully getting support from you lovely people it will keep me motivated and you can give me advice or tell me if i am doing something wrong. I have read through some of the threads on here and the weight loss is incredible, I just hope i can add to the weight loss. I have done slimming world a long time ago and i have got hold of a new book and directory so going to give it a go, I can not get to class because of trying to juggle work and children but may join up online on pay day. So please come in and say hello and hopefully we can support each other. xxx

My weigh in day is Saturday morning at home.

Sat 14th April 14st 0.5lb cry:

Good luck to you.

I too weigh at home. I done sw ages ago to and started back 9 weeks ago. You should try extra easy menu. As it fits so much easier into your life as you can eat both green and red together.

Good luck again.xx

Looks ok to me most important thing with ee is to make sure that your having your 1/3 superfree per meal so as long as your veggies were 1/3 then looks good. Syns wise is difficult to know if syns are right for Yorkshire pud as dependant on the weight of it etc. gravy is 1syn per level tsp of gravy granuals. You can have 5-15 syns per day on all plans. Hope that helps x

Morning everyone, well i managed to be good on the dreaded night last night and kept to the plan, I hate night times i could normally just eat everything in the house. I did not have a healthy extra B yesterday because i was not sure how much milk i had used and only fancied cereal but decided against it and had a satsuma instead, i only had milk in 2 cups of tea so i know i never used much but decided this morning to weigh my milk allowance and put it in a cup in the fridge so i know how much i am having. well here is to a good day everyone .

I see your not much of a breakfast person like me or much of a snacker xx

Yes I do struggle with breakfast like you,but I must admit I am a snacker but I snack the wrong things so that's why I wanted to do slimming world where I can try and snack on fruit for free, I hated pointing fruit on ww I would rather have a a rich tea biscuit or something for same amount of points for a apple ha ha, I have just been trying to have a banana for my breakfast just so I have something. Hope you are having a good day today. Xxx

 

[MRSAKY1]

Well got up this morning and took the little one to my mam's so I could go to Aqua aerobics, must admit I really hate exersice but this was great fun, I joined a fitness club the other week because I know I need to exersice but I am just going to do swimming and water aerobics and water Zumba for now, I would love to Be one of those people who are addicted to exercise, maybe if I start to see a difference that might motivate me more.

I was a little naughty last night and had a pkt of walkers crisps but it says in my book 6.5 syns so ended up on 10 syns yesterday. I never had a healthy extra B yesterday I just did not know what to have I had already had my A, I think i will get some Alpen light bars. Well off to do some work now and hopefully make some money will update what food I have had today later.
