Hi All, I've decided that keeping a diary on here must help me in some way?
I'm 25, 11'2, and 5 ft 4. I'm a size 12, but veering too much to a 14 for my liking. I followed SW 2 years ago and lost 10pounds, which made a massive difference to my shape and my happiness. Unfortunately I'm now the exact same size I was when I started.
I do a lot of exercise, at leat 4 times a week. This consists of 4km runs, 5km walks, spin class, step aerobics class. I have not lost or gained a pound since Christmas, which is not too bad I suppose!! I just want to lose a stone. It sounds so simple, but is incredibly difficult! I'm also blaming the combined pill which I've been on a few years, I'm moving to the coil so Im hoping this will have a positive effect!! I love chocolate, but I wouldn't sit down to a full bar, nor am I a big crisp eater.
My downfall is evening eating, Im hoping the bright evenings will kick me off the sofa..so here goes, I'm hoping this will keep me motivated!!!

Monday May 21st
08:00 2 Weetabix, banana, tea with some milk
11:00 orange, slice of chocolate cake (7syns) :0 What happened there??!!
13:00 mug shot tomato and herb flavour, small tin tuna, 2 hard boiled eggs all mixed together.. I know no superfree, but Im doing my shopping tonight!!
1 Lindt chocolate ball (2syns)​
 
19:30 Chicken Curry and rice, made with spices and vegetable stock cube, with peppars and onions.
20:00 Cup of tea, 5 Minstrel sweets (around 5syns?)
22:15 Fruit salad-rasberries, strawberries, grapes with 0% Vitalinea Strawberry yoghurt

Total Syns-14
1hr step aerobics class
 
Tuesday May 22nd
08:00 2 Weetabix, banana, cup of tea with low fat milk
 
10:00 apple and orange
13:00 Baked potatoe with beans, lots of lettuce, spring onions, sweetcorn and 2 slices of ham, cup of tea and 2 Lindt Chocolate balls (4syns)
16:00 0% Vitalinea yoghurt
16:02 Couldn't resist a corner of the chocolate cake...must.be.stronger. (4syns)

For dinner tonight Im making spaghetti bolognese/chilli with fat free mince meat (so my butcher assures me),spaghetti, peppars, mushrooms, onions and salad. I will probably have another yoghurt, and Im planning on a 5km walk as it's a nice evening.

I forgot to tell you all that I had ankle surgery in September. It still gets quite sore after running etc, so that's one of the reasons I try to vary my exercise!Hope everyone enjoys the nice evening!!
 
So I weighed in this morning..11'2 AGAIN. I suppose it's not too bad, although follwing the plan well during the week, I had a few beers on Saturday, with chips and goujons. Also went to the cinema on Sunday and had some popcorn. I just need to be more strict with myself on weekends..
So yesterday I had my spaghetti bolognese, and then I had another Lindt ball (2 syns) and a yoghurt. 10 syns altogether

Wednesday
08:00 2 eggs, 2 brown bread, flora light spread and some marmalade. (5syns)
10:00 apple and orange
For lunch I will have some salad with lettuce, onions, beetroot, sweetcorn, ham and pasta.
Dinner I will have the leftover chilli from last night.
Snacks will be yoghurt, fruit, and maybe a Lindt ball tonight!
I'm planning on doing a spin class tonight, if my boyfriend doesn't de-rail me..either way I'll definitely be doing some exercise!!
 
So I had my lunch, then a nice rhubarb muller light and a pink and white to hit that sugar craving...(2.5syns)
Have the spag bol from last night in fridge, that will do himself and myself for the night..
 
Last night was fairly good, I had the left over spag bol for dinner at about 18:00, a Vitalinea 0% yoghurt, and then had a cup of tea with a Lindt Chocolate ball (Love these!!)2syns)
I went to an hour long Spin and Abs class then at 20:15 which was really good. On the way home I bought a magazine, purely to stop me snacking-I find that I can't eat and read at the same time!!So overall, less than 10 syns for the day..not bad!!!

Thursday Its been quite a stressful day at work, but I have folded yet. For breakfast I had 2 Weetabix with low fat milk and pineapple with a cup of tea. At 11:30 I had an apple and orange. For lunch-Im not sure yet!!
 
So after all the stress I had the tiniest slice of chocolate cake with a cup of tea.. Bout 5 syns I'd say.. I didn't get a lunch break so now I'm all knocked about food wise. Just had a hard boiled egg, lettuce, spring onions, sweetcorn and beetroot to just ease the hunger. Later I'm planning on SW chips and bacon for dinner. I'm trying to decide wat exercise to do, it's too warm to run or go to the gym.. Maybe after the sun goes down!!
 
So for dinner last night I had SW chips and a breast of chicken, wiyth some mushrooms and beans. I went for a 30minute walk, and then I had a bowl of rasberries and pineapple in yoghurt. Then I had a major sweet craving so I had 2 Lindt balls, and a pink and white.. 6.5 syns altogether??
Total syns: 12 (rounded up)
Friday
So far I've had my 2 Weetabix, some pineapple and rasberries, with low fat milk and a cup of tea.
At 10:00 I had an orange and banana, and another corner of that stupid chocolate cake!
 
So for lunch I had pasta, beetroot, lettuce, spring onions and sweetcorn. At about 15:00 I had a yoghurt with pineapple and raspberries. I also had some chocolate cake. I had a long drive so I had some diet coke an apple and a Lindt chocolate ball. Syns - bout 10.
For dinner I had some ham, lettuce sweetcorn and noodles with SW chips. Then I had another yoghurt with some strawberries and grapes..yum!!
 
Ok soooo, not a brutal weekend, but not a great one either.
Saturday started ok, 2 weetabix, some strawberries and low fat milk with cup of tea, follwed by a 3km run. I then vigourously painted a wall which HAD to have burned some calories!! Later I had some lettuce, onions, sweetcorn, beetroot, ham, pineapple and savoury rice..followed by a sneaky 2 small slices froma baguette with butter. I was making a bannoffi dessert for friends, so was licking the spoon..I also had one of the banana's! I had a yoghurt as a snack..
Later there was a barbeque, so I had grilled chicken and salads, and also some chicken curry with rice-syns in sauce. I also had some of the burger, without the bun!!:) Then I had some pavlova and bannoffi for dessert. I had one Coors Light, then stuck to diet coke for rest of night..
This is not too bad for me, I would usually have went and ate a bit of everything!

On Sunday, I started well again, with 2 Weetabix and a banana with a cup of tea. Then I had 2 eggs with beans and salad. We went out for our dinner, which was poor enough choice wise, I stuck with a breast of chicken (no skin) but had some chips off my sisters plate and the potato cake stuff that was served with my chicken. I also had a sneaky glass of wine (not sure how many syns?) Aftr a long drive I had a kit kat, and was depressed so had a massive bowl of Special K red berries!! I had nothing in the house suitable so Im doing my shopping this evening!
 
Just after noticing most of my posts start with "so". No wonder noone is replying!!

2 Weetabix, banana, low fat milk, tea.

Pasta tuna bake, cherry tomatoes, half a kit kat, tea.

11 syns-rounded up
Instead of Spin I went for a 4km run

I lb GAIN!!! How can this be possible??
 
Ok Im thinking rationally now. It must be portion sizes and just the sheer volume of food I manage to fit into me..This week is a new week, Im working on the weekend so no excuses for fine dining and drinks..MUST.BE.BETTER.

Just looked up the Syn value for those Lindt balls I was munching on..They are 4 syns each :eek: That really pushes up my syns..
 
I lb GAIN!!! How can this be possible??

Hi Catxscotch,

Have you tried varying your days ?? I lost my first stone with EE and then found it really
hard to move any more weight after that. I find that red days does the trick - maybe
try some of those ??


Good luck with the rest of the day x:)
 
Thanks Shaz, My first poster!!! Yeah I've been thinking about that, as I don't go to classes I will have to study my old books..I've never tried it before but it's defo time to start!!
 
Hi

Your diary has caught my attention as I am too trying to only lose a stone in weight.
I also started this Monday and am doing it from home alone with the help of old books

Good luck
 
Thanks Tabu, and good luck to you too!!
 
Wednesday
the usual breakfast of 2 Weetabix, with some rasberries instead of banana, low fat milk and tea.
At 10:00 I had an apple and orange.
For lunch I had a Cambpells Pasta n Sauce, tomatoe and herb flavour. From what I learned on here its the same as the bachelors one!! With it I had a side salad of lettuce, spring onions, beetroot and sweetcorn. I then had a yoghurt and half a kit kat.
Before dinner I had a handful of grapes and a banana, then went top a circuits training class, it was good, very sweaty!!
For dinner I had 2 slices grilled bacon, mushrooms, beans, an egg and SW chips.
I had a fairly large portion, but from now on I'm going to make a conscious effort to eat less.

Today started the same as every other, 2 Weetabix and some berries, low fat milk with my cup of tea.
I was watching secret eater last night on channel 4, got me to thinking about my weekends, I have a tendency to eat differently and "treat" myself on weekends, but where is the treat if I can't lose this weight??!!

Anyway, at work we were out for lunch, and instead of the lovely hot chicken curry I was eyeing up cause it's quite wet and cold here, I got a cold meat salad. Of course it's not syn free though, 2 brown bread+butter, (10syns?) and coleslaw (bout 3?) Nothing nice for me tonight!!
