Back to the Beach Body, 2014! New to SW, advice welcome :)

[JessMayR]

Hi All,
So I started this Slimming world diet on Saturday, to get ready for the Beach in the summer! As I’m new I’m still getting my head around it so I though after looking at other diaries, maybe starting one may help..

I have dieted before, but on weightwatchers, I’m fed up of being restricted on what I can eat, e.g. having a limit of how many herbs and spices I can use in my cooking. So after whining all Christmas about how I feel like I’ve gain a stone since I lost a load of weight last year my Aunty recommended Slimming World, so here I am.. It turns out I haven’t got loads to lose, after my first initial weigh in it turns out I only put on half a stone since I gave up on weightwatchers in October last year… That helps a lot J but still got about 8/9/10 lbs I want to lose.

So here is my food since Saturday, and after looking at it again, It looks like I’ve ate loads? Can anyone tell me if this is too much? Am I being a little piggy or is this ok?
Any advice at all is welcome!!

So yesterday went alot different than i imagined in regards to food. The stupid BF requested that we had a take away, and suggested a Chippy. I couldnt resisit!
I did however, make some SW chips in the airfryer and only have chicken meat and salad from the chippy. (first time i've resisted chips from the chippy, ever! So mini goal for me )

I also was very good and only had 1 piece of chocolate even though the BF was eating it infront of me and the smell just kept coming to me.. and it was only a small wispa bite (again another mini goal for me )

So my food diary for yesterday actually went like this:

Thursday

Breakfast
Pineapple (S), 3 small nectarines (S)

Lunch
Ham, Low fat cheese (HOA) and Egg Salad
- Lettuce (S), Tomato (S), Cucumber (S)
Mugshot –tomato & herb
Flump – 1.5 Syns

Dinner
SW Chips
3/4 (maybe even less) of a SMALL Chicken Meat from Chippy - 9 Syns
Salad - lettuce, onion, cucumber and tomato

Snacks
1 wispa bite - 2 Syns (not sure of exact syns so putting 2 as a guess)

Total Syns: 12.5 Syns


Not too bad, but tomorrow i cant really have any Syns because i ate that chocolate orange (Big mistake ) but it was nice at the time..

I still feel like im eating too much.. After speak to somebody who has done this diet before, apparently this is how you're meant to feel, and everybody who she knows who has done it felt the same? Maybe i am doing it right?

Snacks
Probably a muller light yogurt, maybe a small piece of chocolate?

So my weigh in was on Saturday, and considering i had ate alot, i lost 1 & 1/2 lbs, YAY not as impressive as i was hoping but im happy with that.. this week i want to do the same, then i will be right on tract to have lost alot of the required weight..

Saturday i was craving food! but i decided to leave the house instead of eating and it worked aha! I also went out on the night, and was very good, only had 4 drinks . I even cooked some rice and chicken before i left, so that when i got back i could have a free midnight feast rather than the synfull cheesy chips from the pizza/kabab shop on the way home..

Hi Hun had a look through, all looks good but just checking are you synning everything? Think your butter in your mash would be a few syns! Your plan looks good for your long day at college today so stick with it and think how good you'll feel on the scales if you power through good luck

 

[JessMayR]

Hey ACH, thanks for posting!
The butter was 1tsp of vialite (so it was soya) mixed into all of the potato, it was shared between 5 people so i think it works out to be 0.3 of a syn, so i didnt bother synnning it..

I didnt end up going to college, didnt feel too well and had to help my brother who'd broken his car! Still didnt get back home untill 7pm then revised until 10pm so didnt really benefit aha! Back on Wednesday .

I havent craved as much junk the past few days, i think the healthy food is starting to work aha!

 

[JessMayR]

Last night didnt go as plan, i had to take my brothers car back to the garage as it broke, again.. And didnt feel well so i had a night off college..
The only benefit of this is that i got to cook a different meal i had a really hungry day yesterday so i cooked something more substancial!

Yesterdays food diary was:

Breakfast - 2 double chocolate alpen bar (HOB)
Total - HOB

Lunch - Jacket potato with 40g low fat cheese (HOA), baked beans and salad (lettuce, tomato and cucumber), 1 flump (1.5 Syns)
Total - 1.5 Syns & HOA

Dinner - Hairy Dieters Low Cal Chicken Tikka Massalla with Syn Free Homemade onion bhajiees, boiled rice and 1 poppadom (4 Syns).
Total - 4 syns

Snacks - Apple, Hot chocolate (2 syns), flump (1.5 syns), 3tbsp squirty cream (1 syns) Total Syns: 4.5 Syns

 

[JessMayR]

That makes the total syns for the day 10 syns yay, not so bad but didnt feel like a hard job restricting the amount i had

 

[ACH]

Ahhh hope your feeling better!! Yeh pointless synning that between 5 people haha
