Slimming world #3

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Welcome one and all for our 3rd thread since jan 2013

Blondes is being very bad on holiday :) but once back in uk I shall be back on sw

'Plumps cushions' and hands out healthy sw snacks and

Dawndonna - that is odd!
Hopefully it comes off.....

Another day of me feeling so full - i may have to look at my portion sizes next week if i dont lose weight monday
Im having a whole pack of rice (batchelors) to myself for dinner and then having pasta for tea - i could be overdoing the carbs...?!?

nearly the weekend - thats where i struggle!
I need a cake or something or custard or rice pudding in my LIFE!!!

U having anything protein or veg/salad with your rice? If your not have that too I know it says it's free or whatever but away from slimming world its alot of calories. Have some chicken n veg n u won't need half the amount to feel full iyswim

Hi all. I've lost 1lb this week. Bit disappointed with it, tbh. Was hoping it would be more, as i have stuck to plan 100%.

Oh well. Another week over.

Dawn - weight goes up and down each day so really should weight once a week at same time

Daisy - if you mean the packet rice then I spilt that into 3 portions normally - tho sometimes 2 - but would never eat all by myself iyswim

I normally add some
Extra veg like onions and peppers and then have with mince or salmon - yummy

Tho unlikely to overdo the carbs as I eat lots of pasta and rice - tho maybe you need to add something with it as tho free foods needs to be limited to a certain degree

Beth - well done

B weetabix and skim and fruit
L chicken salad and banana
T mince and veg and rice

Argh I've been forced out of politeness to eat an ice lolly today. I didn't want it or ask for it but they had bought me it and I felt obliged to eat it. Bah. 4 syns down the Swanee.

Congratulations to everyone - lots of weight loss since last week.
I'm another pound down - a bit disappointed but when I weighed myself again this morning it was 2 so should do a bit better this coming week.

B Bite sized shredded wheat with soy milk, strawberries and blueberries
L Box of salad, 4 ryvita, cottage cheese and an apple
D - will be pasta bake with lentils and mushrooms and a big salad, plus melon and pineapple.

I really hope I'm going to be 1/2 way ( 2 stone down, two to go) by the end of June. I need to lose 3 1/lb in just over a fortnight.

Well Done to losers this week, and we'll get there all of us who sts or gained.

I joined group last night, it's given me some much needed oomph. I like the group leader and got some much needed guidance.

Just heard my niece getting married in September. Would like to lose 2 stone by then. Does anyone think this is too ambitious?

Blondes my group leader said something about quiche last night. How do you make it?

Quiche a la blondes

3 eggs
Cottage cheese low fat

Add chopped peppers onions and what ever flavour you want - tin of tuna - or chopped ham - or tin of salmon - chopped chicken - extra veg mushrooms etc for veggie option

Mix all together and put in square glass dish and cook for 30mins on 180

Yummy :)

Hello,can i join in please?
Im doing SW for the 2 time now. Joined a few years ago before Extra Easy and found Green/Original really easy and enjoyable, lost loads the first time but started back with new lady and EE and have really struggled <img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Sad" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/sad-q5SIe0Cq.png">so much so that im doing just green now. I rejoined in Jan and hardly lost anything, i just couldnt get my head around EE. Now im back on green and in 1 month i have lost 1 stone. Those that go to group, how do you feel when you are there?

I think you could definitely do that SalaciousCrumb. How many weeks away is it? 24 (lbs) divided by however many weeks it is right? It can't be that many lbs a week to lose :)

That quiche sounds lovely Blondes, will have to try it.

B- Clementines
L- Sandwich- 2 bread (HEB), sweet chilli sauce instead of butter (1 syn I think) cheese (HEA) and on the side lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and pickled onions
More clementines!
D- Chicken pizza (flattened chicken breast topped with tomato puree, a bit of cheese (1.5 syns) spring onions, jalapenos, red pepper and cherry toms. Served with chips and salad

Sorry! 28 lbs not 24

Isaac, I'm on Green plan and am veggie so hard to switch to red I think. In any case I keep my carbs fairly low. I do think maybe the issue is that the change to my diet isn't massive. I have basically just cut out cheese! My bmi is about 24 I think and the lowest I should go is 8.12 so at 10.11 I'm very happy hat to get to 10. It's all very personal. I certainly don't look like a lollipop at 10 my husband is 2 and a half stone overweight but looks underweight! If anyone hears he is on a diet they laugh yet I am not technically overweight but they think I need to lose. Frustrating!

Welcome Fookinell. Well done on your great loss :)

Yes, you don't want to be doing red if you're a veggie :) Hmm not sure what to suggest sorry. I'm terrible with food that's why I need to lose 7 stone

Hello all. WI today and got my first 1/2 stone award today, yippppeeeee. But weirdly got slimmer of the week despite one other lady lost more than me?! Not complaining though, I love a sparkly sticker and fridge magnet!

Round of applause to us all!

Fookinhell - welcome

Crumb / personally that's a bit ambitious for you and me depending when in sept / but that's 12 weeks away so be 2.5lbs every week sorry to piss on your bonfire :(

But any weight lost is good :) but prove me wrong and do it :)

Well done Dixie for loss and sotw

You got it as you must have lost weight last week as well - where as woman this week may have lost more then you but last week she may have gained so this week not a true loss iyswim

Thanks Isaac, im not veggie, my body just cant process carbs and protein together so it`s easier for me to be mostly green or red

Ah right I see :)

I've just measured myself as my jeans are really big. I did it the day I started and now about 5 weeks on I have lost a total of 18 inches off my body Very happy with that!

Blondes that quiche recipe looks really easy. Any specific amount of cottage cheese to use? Thanks

I use a small tub - not sure of size sorry

You could make larger an use 6 eggs and large tub

Quiche Lorraine ie chopped ham is nice

But also love salmon and broccoli

Have lost 2lbs which is great but feel strangely disappointed as have been soooo good this week and was hoping for a bit more! But as DH pointed out its heading the right way! Am off on hols in 10 days so will try and keep to plan and lose a few more lbs before we go .

Well didn't lose but didn't gain either so I'm happy (considering how much ice cream I ate on holiday!)

Well done to all the losers. I make quiche too, it's really filling. I line the container with lean ham or fat cut off bacon before putting the filling in to make a "crust" and use quark instead of cottage cheese with the eggs. Mushroom and onion is my favourite filling and I top it with a small amount of grated cheese (hea) and sliced tomatoes and serve with a salad.
Would also recommend a "pavlova" if you have a sweet tooth. Meringue made with egg whites and splenda topped with fat free natural greek yoghurt and just defrosted summer fruits.
