Hi all, I have titled this "The Final Food Diary" as I have done SW successfully before (2004), maintained for a long time then all back on/off tried most other diets and am now back to loose 1 1/2 stone for good!

I am starting tomorrow even though I have a work function involving a meal/drinks as tomorrow is 8 weeks until my holiday. I realise 1 1/2 stone isn't realistic in 8 weeks but I can give it a good go!

So...tomorrow's plan,

B: pineapple, apple and grapes
Water and coffee with skimmed milk (HXA)
S: belvita breakfast biscuits - syns?
L: chicken and veg salad
D: out - will just pick the most healthy option and limit the alcohol
 
Not a bad first day...too much wine tho. Today, Thursday... B: Belvita breakfast biscuits - syns? and coffee
L: rice, peppers, onion, tomato, spices and rocket Water and coffee
D: kidney beans, black eyed beans, tinned toms, red onion, paprika, red chilli, turkey breast. Few Tortola chips - syns?

Need to read my old books and find out syn values, also need to buy some fruit!
Plan for tomorrow....

B: blueberries and the LAST packet of belvitas....need to get rid of them!
L: salad with broccoli, green beans and pasta, little pesto - syns!
