Sarahandmolly's thin for Barbados food and general chit chat diary!

[sarahandmolly]

Well hello all!

Yes, I've been here before, many a year ago but I'm back. I've decided that I cannot do calorie counting as I find it too difficult, so today I have re-joined SW and bought a 6wk countdown! So this will be the place, I write all my happiness, my rants and raves and also my food diary (Starting tomorrow). I need to sit down and plan my food. I go to Barbados on holiday in August and I am hoping to have lost at least a stone by then! It's a regular jaunt for me and my family as this will be the 3rd time in 1.5yrs we have been BUT this time I want to look better, not a lady who always covers up on the beach! So please, help and support, criticise my diary if I am doing anything wrong!! Will report back later with my food for tomorrow! Happy Slimming Everyone xxx

Hi - :wavey::wavey::wavey:

Good Luck with your weigh-in today and getting the weight off for your holiday.

I can't comment on your food because to be honest I don't know what you can eat on EE and I do Green all the time but you seem to be having a nice mix of food.

I make gravy with oxo and thicken it with a bit of instant mash - don't know if it is a Tweak but don't use much of it.

 

[shaztaz76]

Good luck with your weigh in !!

Food looks fine to me.

 

[Princess_Stevie]
