Newbie Hannah's SW food diary - feel free to comment

[HannahKo]

Hey all - newbie calling!

Just started SW eating plan - joined SW last Tuesday 16/03/2010 and so far I'm finding it pretty good!

Like a lot of people have mentioned here I am finding that I'm eating a lot of food!! Perhaps more than I expected I would but let's see how weigh-in goes on Tuesday - if I've lost 2lbs or over I will seriously jump for joy because I can eat so much and still lose weight!!

Anyway I'm posting my food diary since I started SW from Wednesday 17th March then will post daily there after.

At the moment I'm doing EE every day but I guess that might change at some point!

All food free apart from when stated.

Friday 19th March - Too many Syns day but still OK!

Looks really good and balanced to me but do remeber to put one third of free vegetables or fruit on every plate of food you eat. Enjoy xx

I would suggest you have more variety as you could find yourself being stuck. Estimating syns can be the slippery slope downwards too. make sure you are not going hungry as well. Good luck xx
