Oatie's Food Diary Debut

[Oatie]

Hello eveyone!

I've started the SW diet today, and I thought I would post my food diary to see if anybody could point out if and where I could be going wrong?

I have been lead to believe that I can eat as much of the free foods as I want, so I haven't bothered measuring quantities for them: this bad practise? I have follwed all the rules in terms of cooking with Fry Light, and eating lean meat etc. Here is todays diary anyway...

Looking good Oatie! I don't do red, but your menu looks fine to me with a good selection of hex's and syns. You definitely don't need to be weighing free foods. It doesn't hurt to think about your portion sizes a bit as time goes on, but you certainly don't need to be worrying about that now! Lots of luck with your losses x

Hi Oatie, Welcome to the forum.
Well done on starting a diary, best way to go...

You don't have any details in your profile so I just wndered how much you have to lose.

I'm sure you are doing well but am not doing that particular regime myself but am sure plenty of Minis will be giving you advice etc.

Take care and keep posting....

Hello!

Thanks for the quick replies!

Cheers for the reassurement Beegee.

I'm looking to loose around 5 stone to begin with Emmaline (just updated my details). I'm carrying quite a bit of muscle as well as fat (honestly! haha), so I'm not sure what weight will make me healthy: I think BMI is a rubbish indicator!
