New to SW and thinking i am having too much!

[zoe302]

Hi All

I had this diet recommended to me by a friend who has gotten to her target(yeah for shrimpy-who also has a food diary on here)

Now I have started, went to group Monday 9th so didnt properly start until Tuesday 10th on the plan.

So far I am being very good-although that isnt hard given that it is so so easy to follow the plan.

As I havent had a full day today of meals I will give everyone my meal plan from yesterday(feel weird calling it a diet because I stuffed my face)

B'fast-About half a pineapple, FF nat yogurt and 28g os special K sustain (Hex B)
Coffee-Sugar(1.5 syns) milk Skimmed (Hex A)

Snack-Apple, coffee sugar (1.5 syns) and semi milk (syns 4-100mls??)

Lunch-Leftover pasta with veg (sweetcorn, peas, carrots, broccoli, with passata) followed by an orange. Portion was a full plate.

dinner- A spanish style omelete with Potatoes, broccoli, aspargus, red and green peppers and eggs. With a side salad and Coleslaw(made from mix pack and creme fresh, with wholegrain mustard-3syns) and some Quark to put with omelette.

Snack-Had left over omelette from dinner

Snack-Mini twister-2.5 syns.

So there you have it my meal plan from yesterday. What do we think??

Oh this morning I have had for breakfast

2 Quorn sausages, Baked beans, 2 slices of bread (Hex B), with an orange and will have a apple soon as I am off.


Anywho any suggestions, hints tips, help etc. Still feel like I am having too much or doing something wrong, and panicking now about weigh in tomorrow!!!

That's absolutely fine hun ... a good day I reckon!

You'll know from being friends with Shrimpy that you can actually eat loads on SW ... it's just getting used to making wise choices

Well done and good luck!

Hey Zoe, If I get a chance before stuffing my face I'll take some photos of my portions. You will see that mine are most likely LOADS bigger than yours! I am constantly munching huge portions.

It looks like your diary is good. Ali is right, you can eat loads as long as it's the right choices.

 

[zoe302]

Thanks ladies. I think it is because I havent been weighed yet, so at the minute I cant imagine it working. lol

Lunch-quorn sausages, lettuce pepper and cucumber with more leftover veggie pasta salad from the other night. Couldnt finish it all so will have later as a snack with coffee :gimi:

Just over 24 hr until first weigh in. hoping for any lose, even 1 lb will be impressive, because i feel like a piggy!! oink oink

 

[zoe302]

Ok so
Lunch-Quorn sausages(2), WITH LETTUCE, CUCUMBER AND PEPPERS and a little side of veggie pasta from the other day.

couldnt finish it so had left overs for a we snack at around 4ish, followed by a jaffa cake (2.5syns)

Dinner- quorn family roast with roasted butternut squash and parsnips, mash made from pots swede parsnips and butternut squash(with a little creme fraice-think prob 1 syn per portion). A little broccoli and a sauce made from passate and herbs so it isnt too dry.

Dinner is on the go now so will see if i even snacks later!

 

[Shrimpy]

Sounds yummy Zoe. I only ever do the quorn pieces, what is the syn value and taste of the roast like?

 

[zoe302]

Pretty sure I saw somewhere that it is free, like most other quorn things. It is similar to the pieces but a bit more solid. I like it.

So today-so far,

Breakfast-Beans, Quorn sausage, And 2 slices of 400g hovis (hexB)
with apple

Snack- orange and apple

Lunch-3slices of family roast and left over mash from last night

Snack- Apple, jaffa cake(2.5 syns) and a choc hob nob (4.5syns), with a coffee, (milk skimmed from HexA)

Now debating what to do as weigh in is tonight! should i have dinner then go, or should I just have some more fruit and maybe yoghurt, then get dinner later when i get home

hmmmmmm

what do we all reckon

 

[Shrimpy]

I always have dinner after weigh in, but that's cause thats what I did the first time and in the interest of being scientific that's what I always do.

 

[Laura250blue]

Let us know how u got on Zoe

 

[zoe302]

Well everyone, I lost 3 lbs which I am really happy about after hiow much I have eaten.

Just about to get dinner-starving lol

so dinner is noodles, peppers, sweetcorn and a peppered steak, with some Quark through the noodles, to mak them a bit more saucey lol

Sounds like you are in need of some cheap and cheerful comfort food hun ...

Egg, SW Chips & Beans?
Pasta (works every time but encourages the red wine!)
Shepherds Pie

Mmmm, now what shall I have??? Lol x

 

[Laura250blue]

OoH SW chips are a deffo comfort food! (Take a while to make but oh-so worth it!)

You have eaten 4 apples today - that is brill

 

[zoe302]

HAve decided to go for risotto with peppers and asparagus, with roasted butternut squash wedges on the side-yummy!!

Really looking forward it now. Lots of lovely stodge-plus will be very filling and looks delicious. Although first time making it so could be awful lol

 

[Laura250blue]

Heheh, im sure it wont be awful! Sounds delish, let us know how its goes x

 

[zoe302]

Well ladies I have to say, dinner was delicious!! Especially the butternut squash wedges. I am now very stuffed, and chilling out watching tv!!!
