Didn't stick to my original plan today as i forgot to take my lunch, luckily (or unluckily) i work in a hotel so food is always available

Today's food as follows;

L - One slice of wholemeal bread (4 syns) Ham salad sandwich & homemade veg soup. Banana
D - Salmon & Broccoli Stir fry with Egg noodle, beansprouts and Spinach



Still not using enough syns but i know from previous times i never did in the beginning. Might have some quavers and a SW mini quiche later, but I'm stuffed at the min so we will see?

**UPDATED**
Decided to have the SW mini quiche & Quavers do another 5 syns

Had another 100% day again, i know its only day 3 but Wednesday is normally the day i give up!

So today's food as follows;

Wednesday
B - Yogurt & Fruit salad. Cup of Tea (HE Milk)
L -2 boiled eggs & 2 400g wholemeal toast (HE), banana
D - SW Spag bol & spaghetti. Fruit salad

Still had no syns!!! Im going food shopping tomorrow so i will pick up some sweet syns.

Just weighed myself as i need new scales because i never got it done on Monday, i have really been kidding myself since i last weighed myself 6 months ago, i have gained a stone and a half!!! Wouldn't mind if this spurred me on more but all its done is make me think my weight loss is going to be even harder, but no more excuses! gonna do it this time!

**UPDATED**
1 SW mini quiche. Need to make another batch!

Good Luck Kelly. You have a fab reason to diet so I'm sure you will keep motivated.
I've just started again after not dieting for about 4 years.
I'm loving your food diary. You are so organised planning your meals for the week. I can only normally think about a day ahead.
Good Luck.x

Looking good when are you due to get married? Xx

If i didn't i would always make excuses to eat junk. I am a list maker in general so always writing something down x

This isn't going too bad! Been food shopping today so got next weeks meals planned too, i think this going to be my strength, PLANNING!

Today's food;

Thursday
B - 1 boiled egg on 1 800g wholemeal toast (HE) Cup of Tea (HE Milk)
L - Fruit Salad, Aldi crispy fries crisps (3.5 syns), Special K bar (4 syns)
D - Mixed Grill ( Lean steak, Gammon, Lamb chop, 6 Large mushrooms, 2 tomatoes, fried egg & Beans)

Absolutely stuffed after dinner tonight!, and i didn't finish! My OH was also over the moon with the Mixed grill, can see it becoming a favorite in this house.

Was out all day so never got my lunch until 5.00pm, quite pleased i resisted caving in for a sandwich and crisps, well looking forward to Big mac in bowl tomorrow night now

**UPDATED**
Special K bar - 4 syns. Used 11.5 syns today!

Feeling really positive today, Day 5 and i haven't cheated! Felt my belly rumble for the first time in 12 month or more, i'd just had my breakfast knew i wasn't hungry, just my stomach playing tricks on me!

Today's food as follows;

Friday (at work)
B - Fruit salad & banana, 2 Cup of tea (HE milk)
L - 1 slice 800g bread (HE) ham salad sandwich, homemade med veg soup.
D - SW Big Mac in a bowl (5 syns)

snacks 2 SW mini quiche, 1 apple

I was a bit skeptical about the Big mac in a bowl when i was cooking it, but boy did i enjoy it, felt like i wasn't on a diet at all! Only problem is i used regular thousand island dressing so that pushed my syns up, was well worth it though. I'm even re-thinking next weeks menu so i can have it sooner than planned!

**UPDATED**
Special K bar 4 syns

Decided to fast today as i am working a late shift, so i worked my meal plan out on MFP, i wont be having any syns today so here goes;

Saturday (496 cals)
B - Fruit salad & sugar free jelly, Cup of tea
L - Apple
D - Gregg's Tuna layer salad, lettuce & 3 baby plum tomatoes. Quavers

I hope this isn't detrimental to the rest of the week? looking at my menu it still fits in with slimming world rules so i think it should be fine.

How did you make the Big Mac in a bowl? I've never heard of it before.x

I had never heard of it until i came across a thread on here - http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-recipes/320637-big-mac-bowl-only-2-syns.html

All you do is shred lettuce in a bowl and top with Sliced pickled gerkins and Fat free Thousand island dressing on top of that put dry fried mince with a low fat cheese slice, quick and easy! x
