Thanks for the reply x

Yesterday was a good day untill WI, it was our xmas party and i nibbled on a tad much (Yoghurt gingerbread cake, too many pieces..) then had a kebab for dinner (chicken kebab ate half of the pitta and had mccain rustics instead of fatty chips from the kebab shop)

Had 1/2 a lb gain yesterday and have come to the conclusion that it's my carbs intake.. I have biiig portions of food and when it comes to spag bol/rice/pot/ i dont hold back... I need to reassess my portions and get them under control or i dont think i will ever reach target.

It's been a habit of mine for years though so it's going to be hard.
I can do it though, i've come this far!!

I really wanted to be @ Target by Next saturday, As we are going to Cyprus on a family holiday, it was looking good, I got down to 9 stone 4 1/2 lbs, My lowest weight but then had 2 gains in a row, so am anow 9 stone 5.5lbs.. I am not worrying about being @ target now, I am just trying to concentrate on following the plan 100% as much as i can!!

If your worried about your carbs why not try some superfree chips/wedges? I have used celeriac, swede and various squash varieties! They are lovely with things like chilli and spag bol. And i have started doing mixed veg mash for roast dinners etc using carrot, swede and butternut squash! Its sooo filling. I have huge portions of food, as i seem to always be hungry. xx

That's a good idea, I will have to try and experiment, thanks x

Hi Jen!

Well done on being so close to target, must feel great! Keep going!

I am new to slimming world so not one to criticise, your food diary looks fine, do you do any exercise? Are you drinking 2 litres of water per day?

I have 1 stone to lose, cant wait to have 5lbs to go!

Good luck in getting to your target. Love reading the food diaries xxx

Hi, Thanks for reading my FD

Yes, it feels fab being close to target, although i've been up and down a bit lately, so it's a long time coming!!

I used to do Zumba but i dont have the option at the moment, I am really lazy, I should do more exercise i need to tone up the flabby baby belly!

I drink mostly robinsons no added sugar squash and i have pints at a time so yes i do have my 2l a day, I drink a lot of diet coke too..

Good luck on your SW journey xx
