Hi Everyone!

I am new to this forum and fairly new to SW. So far have lost 5 pounds. Went a bit overboard on the syns last night but starting afresh today and beginning a green week for the first time, up until now have been doing EE.

So: Sun 6th Feb 2011 Start of Green week
B: Allbran (HEB) + Milk (HEA)
L: Mango, banana + Vanilla Muller light
T: Tonight will be either a syn free or low syn quorn spag bol..not sure of the recipe yet...any suggestions would be welcome! :D Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong!:D

Edit: adapted the SW Spag bol slightly and used quorn, also used passata instead of tinned tomatoes but think it would have been nicer with the chopped tomatoes.
Have used the rest of my milk allowance for tea + coffee. Also had green tea and sugar free cherryade.
A syn free day...I think!

Hi Vixta!
I have been doing it for about a month, i thought i would have lost more as i exercise regularly but after reading some of the other girls experiences realise its probably because i dont have a lot to lose. I think anyway! How long have you been on SW and how are you finding it?

This is my first day on green! :) I think this week I'm going to try the speedy soup recipe and also make a quorn SW quiche which I'm quite looking forward to. I really want this to work cause I have always been a bit of a yo yo dieter, mainly on very low cal diets which just leave me hungry and ratty all the time! I like not feeling constantly starving lol! How did u decide to try SW? Xx

Mon 7th Feb Green day 2

So i was at work today and then went to the gym. I'm up at 6 30 am and cant eat much at that time so just have something small. Today went like this:
B1: Muller light
B2:porridge (HEB) made with water and some milk (HEA) + a banana
L: One wholemeal slice of toast from a 800g loaf (HEB) + half a teaspoon of regular marge (1 syn?), small tin of baked beans, 2 quorn sausages and one egg scrambled.
S: some mango
D: Got home late so threw together left over bolognese + batchelors snack pot (tomato and herb), salad and tomatoes + 1 apple
Drinks: Diet coke, sugar free cherryade, water, tea (used the rest of my HEA)
Exercise: 45 min of cardio at the gym
So 1 syn today i think. Also i think i can use another HEA, so i could have maybe had cheese on my pasta??

u have done better than me :( i stayed the same AGAIN! :cry:
 
Hi Gem,

Thought I would look you up after you posted on my diary. Don't know if you saw the message I left but I was the same as you - lost sooo slowly (in fact on my first weigh-in I GAINED a lb!)

I would suggest you just stick with it - it does come off in the end even if you're not having as big gains as some other people. Slowly is better I think because you form good habits, get used to the plan and are more likely to keep it off.

Also can I recommend drinking loads of water. I mean loads. 5 pints a day.

Hope that helps. Annoying when it's slow isn't it? But you will get there :) I'm near my target now and since starting drinking loads of water I've had my best and most consistent losses!
