Diary of a frustrated yo-yoer!!!?

[JaxieD]

I really REALLY need to lose this weight. I've been faffing about since xmas, starting a different diet every week instead of sticking to SW. I'm a slow loser and have to accept that!!!!! I'm doing this from home at present but may return to class if I get my head in gear!!!

Maybe a focused food diary will help! I'd really like to lose half a stone by 26th April as I'm going on hols to Lanzarote for a week. Mind u my last escapade with SW saw me losing only 6lbs in 6 weeks but I wasn't doing any exercise at that time so I'm trying to do even a half hour walk most days and Zumba on a Tuesday night. So here's hoping........

I'm going to mix up the plans as much as I can to see if it helps

Hiya hun! Lunch and dinner plans sound yum! Was the apple at breakfast big enough to count as 1/3 SF? xxx

 

[JaxieD]

Probably not, lol!! Had planned to have mushrooms and tomato but my hubby evidently scoffed them!!!!! Shouldn't do too much harm, I'm hoping!!

Just have an extra apple later not every meal has to be 1 3rd superfree surely?

 

[JaxieD]

Not sure, really. Think opinion is divided but I'd say as long as you do it most of the time it should be ok?
