Tryingtolose's Food Diary

[tryingtolose]

Good morning beautiful people!

I started SW last week, at home, with my boyfriend. So far it's been ok, I like it, but on my first week I've only lost 0.5kg and I think that's not nearly enough, especially since I have 30kg to lose. So I decided to start a food diary and in case any of you can spot something that I am doing wrong, I'd really appreciate it if you mentioned it!

Just a little note, I am counting the maximum Syns that what I am eating might have, i.e. I might write that the butter that I used has 3 Syns, but according to my Syn list, that number of Syns is for 10gr of butter. It might be that I used less than 10gr. I still count all of the Syns, just to be on the safe side!
