TT's SW diary - confessions, tears, and joys of slimming

[Tinnedtomato]

Hi everyone,

I am 26 years old and have been following SW at home since February 2011, and I have lost 16lb up to now.

My target date is 1st January 2012, and it seems like I got way too much weight to get off in that time. It works out at just under 3lb per week, which is quite a challenge, but if I put my mind to it, and keep focused, I could get quite a good way there.

So here goes.......

TUESDAY 23RD AUGUST 2011

I am feeling quite good today. I had a really good 100% day yesterday, and hopefully today will go the same way too.

Food today is as follows:

Breakfast = Weetabix crunchy bran (HEB) with SS milk (HEA)
Snack = Fruit
Lunch = Boiled egg salad with 3 EL laughing cows (1/2 HEA)
Snack = Fruit, yoghurt and Ryvita mini's (HEB)
Dinner = Quorn mushy pea curry with rice

Syns = 7 (Hot chocolate from a machine)

Well I think that is another brill day. Hope the scales think so, lol.

WEDNESDAY 24TH AUGUST 2011

Well I am not in the best frame of mind today. I have a few personal problems going off at home, and they are hitting a low again. On a positive note, I am meeting a friend of mine at work today, who I haven't seen for a while. We're meeting in the restaurant for lunch, but iv already decided that im going to have a jacket spud with beans and salad garnish, so not too worried there. My friend is a zumba instructor too, so she always eats healthily, so there wont be no temptation

Breakfast = Weetabix crunchy bran (HEB) with SS milk (HEA)

11am and the hunger pangs have struck!! Gunna munch down some fruit, cos not meeting my friend til half 12.

Had a satsuma and some strawberries so feel better now

 

[Tinnedtomato]

Been for lunch and had a good old natter with my friend, and chewed her ear off with my problems, so feeling better now. Really enjoyed it.

Lunch = Jacket potato with beans and a cup of water go me!!

 

[Tinnedtomato]

16:20 - Feeling mega hungry and iv forgotten my ryvita minis today, and my yoghurt Going for the apple, lol

 

[Louise24]

11:10 am - I have forgotten my fruit today, and its 'fruit time' lol, so having a mix up, and gunna munch my cucumber stick and radish instead

 

[Tinnedtomato]

12:15 - Maybe eating the cucumber and radish werent my best idea, cos now im not quite ready for my lunch. Luckily I have a very flexible job and I can take lunch whenever. Good job really, lol.

Just having a cuppa instead

 

[Tinnedtomato]

13:30 - Having lunch of a tomato and herb mug shots. Really boring, but cheaper than going to the shop.

Early finish for me today, as we've got an important meeting this afternoon. Im dreading it, but hoping it goes ok.

Hiya, just stumbled on your thread, way to go for doing sw@ home! I go every week and have done for the past 12 weeks now, in total ive lost 14 1/2 lb, so your doin really well!!
But i'm sure you are only meant to have one HEA and one HEB per day on EE ( im assuming your doin EE) anythin else from the choices then has to be synned, thats how i read the book anyways, i mucked up and stayed the same weight by not getting my choices right in the first couple of weeks, spoke to consultant, she put me right and i lost 3 then 3 1/2 lb the next two weeks :0) hope u dont mind me postin to u, give it a try i might help you reach your goal x

Hi Vitology... the above menu looks like a green day to me and you're allowed 2Bs on a green or red day and just 1B on an EE day xxx

 

[Vitology]

Aaahhh that'll be why then! I'm doin ok on EE so i dont bother looking at green or red days x
