Slimming World weigh in and food diaries......

[calzone]

There are lots of SW posts which I love reading but was finding it difficult to remember where to post my weigh in and menus for the day.

Hope no one minds me doing this......

I am Calzone and I am 5ft 6'. I joined SW last week and weighed in at 14st 3lbs.
I am doing Dry January and think I have been pretty good this week with my food choices.....

Food today
B......fruit/tea with sk milk
L...2 bread, beans, 2 eggs
D....DH is doing Lebanese and promises it is SW friendly.

So, if you want to do the same.....post and share, otherwise this will be my SW experience.

(succomed to a 9 syn twirl last night, in addition to my 13 syn from yesterday. But didnt actually get around to eating a hexB.)

Menu for the week is looking like...

Today: erm....undecided.
S: Roast beef, yorkies, roasties, carrots, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower. Pavlova (cream for kids, greek yog for me)

Well done calzone. I wouldn't have had the restraint for pizza!!! My naughty food I avoid.

I went to pizza express the other day and had their skinny pizza - has a big whole in the middle filled with salad. 20 syns, but under 500 calories.

When I totted up the calories, I was way under on my day (Id eaten about 1200 all together) but way over on syns. So whats that all about?

Im hoping for a maintain or small loss this week - I have totted up all my syns for the week and Im still under - just. so although individual days could have been better, I do have some good days to balance out the bad. Technically, I should be on a win. Watch this space....

I'm with you on that on fanny. I put my food in mfp and it comes out lower in calories etc and still don't lose.
I would suggest its to do with processed carbs pizza base, bread etc and how its broken down in the body also, how much of these high density foods can be consumed. 500 cals of pizza is little, the same calories in tuna is massive amounts. Who gorges on tuna?
I think that syns should be weekly and as you said good days balance out bad. Nobody eats the exact calories on one day.
So its not just me that over thinks it?

1 lb off - that will do!

B: 2x toast (hex B) with low-low cheese (1/2 hexA), marmite and tomato

L: Morrocan style veggie burgers x 2 (2 syns) salad and dressing (2 syns) Mullerlight

S: Apple

D: Fajita chicken, lettuce, salsa (1/2 syn) 20g cheese (1/2 hex a) roasted veg. Melon.

Milk in tea (3 syns)

Might just have a cheeky glass of wine later!
