Breakfast: syn free sausage (from butcher) - free
Lean grilled bacon medallions (x2) - free
Beans (free)
Grilled mushroom (Superfree)
Baked tomato (Superfree)
X2 WW bread (hexB)

350ml skimmed milk throughout day in tea. (hexA)

Looks good so far! Doing a diary is really helpful as you can see exactly what you've had and it forces you to be honest with yourself. I'm not sure I would have lost so much without it!

I'm doing it from home too but have subscribed to the website so I can track syns and HEXs. I've also got some really accurate scales and haven't found any problems by not going to group. I don't think it's neccessary to pay for use of the site though as everyone is so helpful on here! Ii'm not sure I'm going to bother resubscribing tbh - but I will miss syns online/my app if I do!

Chocolate Philadelphia (30g) = 4.5 syns

I'd recommend weighing stuff out too just to make sure you don't go over on your HEXs and so you can accurately monitor your syn intake.

Good luck and I look forward to reading your diary!

Thank you ) I'm going to update it everyday, so hopefully I can see where I'm going wrong and get people's advice. Just annoyed I didn't go to the gym today I lazed around watching man v food!!

I agree with all of the above Charl. Just keep at it, and weighing the HEX's. You're having a much better day than me, lol.

I might have just eaten another 4 mikado's, never buying them again ever!! Jeeze!! I'm sure your day can't be too bad, anyway its friday it doesn't count xx

Ate my first big bag of sweets in 2 months, so probably not going to have a good weigh-in. Thought it had all been going too well!

Hi, welcome to minimins. Your food diary looks really good.

I brought those mikardos. There so yummy and morish. I have a pack at work, to stop me going to the vending machines and buying a chocolate bar. As i thought that even if i eat lots of them its still less syns. I have the daim ones. Yummy. Saw they do white ones too.

It's ok just don't carry on! I know once I've given in to one thing I just think screw it and go food crazy! Then get angry at myself. Sweets are good when you need it. Sometime ) am sure it couldn't make tooooo much difference
