Newbie needing opinions please....

Happy Sunday everyone.

I'm new to both Minimins and SW but having reached the dizzy heights of 185lbs, I realised it was time I got my a**e into gear and knuckle down to getting back to my 'happy' weight (somewhere around the 150-154lb mark).

I have in the past counted calories but thought I'd give SW (online) a go as I did get a bit obsessive if I went 50 calories over my quota a day.

I know my syns are on the high side, and I will do something about them but here are 2 things I can't do without - 2 biscuits with my coffee first thing, and a glass of wine with dinner in the evening!!

Any comments would be appreciated - oh and sorry about the copy/paste - I'm writing this while doing a Sunday roast for the family!!!

Thankyou. I have bought a whole bunch of Alpen Light Bars today - Saturdays mess up was proof of my lack of strong will when I knicked the snacks from my partner - oh and he bought me the cake at an art fair - I told him I didn't want any but then I ate it anyway!!!! I will reign myself in :) - I MUST!!!!
