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.

LOST 2LBS!!!!!!

26lbs in total

Thanks maybe tomorrow will be a better day as don't have to wait around house all day.
Just wondering what time does everyone have dinner im not sure if im eating to late or to early.
Also I get a bit hungry around 9 or 10 when I have sat down and put my feet up for the night I try to get to bed by 11 so I don't pick at anything and befor I use to tuck in to a pack of peanut m&ms am addicted to them does anyone snack anything around this time if so what and if not what time to stop for the day

well done calzone! Another 2lbs and that's your 2 st! Fantastic! (I think saying weight loss in lbs rather than stone makes it sound so much more impressive....!!)

Sara, I stop eating around 7pm, after dinner. I always try to have a big filling dinner, and finish with a sweet something - usually a mullerlight. If Im full, im less likely to snack. Also, if im full of NICE tasty food Im less likely to snack. I snack when I feel unfulfilled foodwise. If ive had something really tasty, I dont feel deprived.

That said, I do feel the need to snack on occasions (last night) so had one of those muller goodies - 2.5 syns and you feel like its something a bit indulgent.

I'll also have a cuppa, and maybe an apple or a couple of satsumas. On really bad days, I'll have a alpen light bar, (2.5 syns). I'm currently sewing by hand, so that keeps my mind away from the kit kats in the cupboard....

There are days when I send myself to bed early, because the temptation to snack is so great...

I save my healthy extra A for evening.

3 Rakusens cracker (1 point each)
Marmite free
3 Mini Babybel Lights sliced with tomatoes

So 3 points for cheese and biscuits

At weekends I add wine and don't feel remotely deprived.

Today
B: FryLight eggs, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes and asparagus
L: Couscous salad with tinned sardines, followed by fruit in ff yoghurt
D: Spaghetti with asparagus and tenderstem broccoli from SW magazine with cheese (HE A)
Snacks: 2 x Aldi benefit bars (HE B)
Syns: Be Light Crisps (6.5 syns)

I was going to wait before weighing myself but I've been so good all week that I want to know now so hopefully it can give me renewed motivation, maybe today or tomorrow!

Oh - I noticed that Asda are doing a Muller Light deal at the moment 6 single pots for £3 or the 2x 6pack for £5.
