Welcome to the SW journey!! I started about 3 months ago now.

If you can, check out the menu online so you can try and work out what your best option would be. Don't be afraid to ask for swaps (e.g. jacket potato instead of chips) or ask for sauces on the side/not at all.

May I suggest you have a look at Worryingwombats inspirational thread? She began her journey at the same weight as you and is transforming before our eyes! I want to lose around Five stones and have lost 10.5 in two weeks, love this plan! Good luck!

My SW things that keep me going

Plan meals out for the week for the family and me every Sunday, do the shop on Monday

Make a big Spanish omlette and have it for lunch for 2/3 days each week

Plan more interesting evening meals

Use all my syns on the weekend for beer and chocolate :)

Be really good, and practically syn free during the week

Avoid hi life bars crisps ect, snack on fruit and free food only

Have diet drinks in the house for the evening

Have a freezer full of ice lollies to snack on in front of the telly. Del monte orange juice lollies and smoothies current favourite

Plan meals out before going, so look at menu online, don't be afraid to ask them to cook something in a different way, substitute chips for jackets etc.

Have one day a week as an SP day or very low calorie day...ie : overnight oats for breakfast, omlette and salad for lunch, salmon steamed, and broccoli for tea with sweet potato chips

Make batches of curry for the freezer for ready meals

Once a month do an Iceland shop with some sw meals as treats for when I can't be arsed to cook


Write off a bad day, and get straight back on it

Good luck! Xxx
