Syns!

I personally love knowing what people have for syns. I know many of my fellow slimming world followers post pictures regularly of boxes, cupboards or drawers full of different treats.

Weigh in blues

Sorry I haven't posted the rest of the good diary, it got really busy and I just had to much to do! But it was weigh in day yesterday and the results were not the best. 

Only lost half a pound and ended up binge eating when I got home! I had 6 slices of dominos and a large pack of Doritos. Now needing to do some serious damage control. Less than 5 syns a day, going to the gym tomorrow, Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully i can get a maintain at weigh in! 

Got all my books out and made an order with asda! It's going to be here tomorrow. 

6 and a half pounds from target. 

Hope you have all had a good week! I am certainly going to try. 

Food diary day 4- extra easy

So I have been doing success express the past 3 days to see if it would help with my weightloss as I have started to slow down due to not having much left to lose.

Today however I have gone for extra easy   Due to going out for dinner with mum and not being able to focus as much on the 2/3 superfree. 

I am going do extra easy now until weigh in and see what the results are! I am actually excited for once haha. Anyway here is my food diary for today.
