Vanessa's Daily Diary

[vanessa71]

Hi, i'm Vanessa and new to slimming world. Only been on it for a few days. I am doing the Extra Easy for a week to see how I get on. It scares me alittle though the amount you can eat.

My food today was

B. Bacon and beans

L. Steak in a roll (HOB), ketchup (1)
Strawberries

D. Tuna, pasta, extra light mayo (1) and cheese (HOA)
Strawberries

No milk allowance so drank herbal teas and water

Q. Is flavoured water free?
Are muller lights free at all?

Any advice or tips would be appreciated

Hi Vanessa, I was a restarter yesterday. Our stats are exactly the same!!
Do try and have plenty of fruit and veg, your healthy extras and a few syns. Lots of people use them all and still lose. I personally like to use some but tot them up over the week so if I have a disaster I have some syns to use for it.
Most mullerlights are free. If you go on the syn values forum theres a sticky about them on there.
I couldn't believe how much I was eating when I first started either but it does work.
Good luck!
