Sleepymums First-Ever Diary: Please help!

[Annnabel]

I'm enjoying it, I don't find it so restrictive as ww. But like you, keep thinking maybe I'm eating too much! I can't get used to eating pasta and potato's as free foods! I did loose 2lb last week, but don't feel like I've lost anything this week.

 

[sleepymum]

It is a big change isnt it. I have to stop myself from pointing everything, but I am really hoping it works.
I did like ww, but it annoyed me having to point fruit. I cut back on fruit to allow me to have more treats.
Thats what I love about sw. It encourages you to eat better.
Do you have a food diary

 

[Annnabel]

No I haven't started a diary on here just yet. Getting loads of ideas from everyone elses though!

 

[fit4hols]

Good luck with your weigh-in today, thinking of you! I'm really looking forward to hearing about your weight-loss! Incredible that WeightWatchers made you cut back on fruit so that you could eat more treats, SW is much more fun!

 

[sleepymum]

Well had first weighin this morning and I have lost 7 pound.
Thrilled doesnt even explain how great I feel.

Has really made me determined for week ahead. Not expecting a big loss next week, but slow and steady and all that.

Lunch
4 ryevita (hexb), banana, mullerlight

Snack

[sleepymum]

Thanks a million. Really over the moon, for the first time in ages I really think I can loose the weight.

Slimming world is so easy to follow, fits in great with family meals, and I love that it encourages you to eat so healthy. I have been converting some of my friends as well.

 

[Annnabel]

That is Fantastic! Well done you!

Yes, the Minimins community is great for helping motivate us, isn't it! Don't think I could do this without the help I'm getting! You've already lost over 10%, that's fantastic, commitment I want to copy

Thanks fit4hols,
I am thrilled it works. Have 2 stone lost now in total, so really feeling brilliant and can start looking at clothes again. . . God help the shops when I start lol. .

 

[Annnabel]

Thanks annabel

Just doing EE at the moment, but when I get in to the swing of things I think I'll def try and mix them up a bit. I've had a good day thanks, It's the evenings when I feel like snacking. Not sure whether to use all my syns either. Only used a max of 8 a day so far?

 

[sleepymum]

I have used between 10 and 15 everyday, but I think everyone is different. I am using my syns now as when I am nearing my target I can cut back on these.
But everyone is different.

Lol, I need my treats. .

Know the feeling! It can get expensive though... When I lost two stone a few years ago, I spent a fortune on new clothes, vowing I'd never need the old ones again and threw them out... I love shopping but...! That's great - two stone this year already, well done you
