[Slim2018]

hey folks I hope all is well
I am looking to lose 4 stone (ha! Whenever that'll be!!!!) all I know is I want to and I need to!
I need serious help and support so if any one is willing to communicate regularly with me and vice versa I'm hoping we could achieve at least a reasonable weight loss. Please help us lord!

Hi Sarah, I'm trying hard to loose but am up and down. What programme if any are you following?

Hi Sarah,
I do SW at home and always need extra support and encouragement.
My best advice is to do a food diary, then we can see how you are doing and give added support
Good luck with your journey.

Doing my diary definitely works for me.
My diary link is at the bottom of my posts if you want to follow for motivation

 

[tipperary]

You look like you are doing well from your food log.

I was thinking it's a bit quiet round here at the moment. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.

Don't worry though. Talk to yourself if it helps and we'll catch up when we can

 

[Slim2018]

Yes please do and thank you

I want to keep going to xmas if possible.

Good night and god bless xx

Hi Slim, agree there's not many people on here at the minute. You're doing well, good news re your syns..crackers are only 2syns each, reduced coleslaw is 5syns for 100g so 1tbsp will be 1.5 at the most, 1.5 for Cadbury's chocolate finger ( brilliantly well done for stopping at one, I'd have eaten the box) 400g of the mash direct carrot etc is 1syn so you not used 0.5 in 200g. Bacon is free.
I can check syns online at SW if you want anything checked? X

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Hey hun,
Your food diary looked good for yesterday, you've made a great start
The key is lots of fruit and water....I do well on the fruit but water is always my downfall. I really need to start setting myself water targets!
