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

I wanted to share something with you all - I discussed this at group last week, and put a picture up on our FB group for the Consultant to see first. I don't think I have mentioned it on here yet but I'm tired, so who knows!.

Bread. So the book says you can have 60g of wholemeal bread.

Or 2 slices of a 400g Warbutons/Nimble etc loaf.

So has anyone actually weighed a slice of Warburtons bread? Because I did. And it was 22g (on average). I felt so cheated!

So I asked the Consultant. And she said she hadn't heard of it before. But 60g of wholemeal is right. So I measured it out. I cut the crust off the third slice, but it means you can have almost 3 slices. Infact, you can have 4 if you cut all the crusts off, which I do sometimes, as I'm not so keen on them.

Not that it really helps me right now. As I think I have better losses when I have less bread. So I'm not putting it to the test this week. I will next week though!

When I say I cut the crust, I cut off two sides of the crust. So not even the whole thing. :)

'Takes self to bad step'

Ugh I feel pants! I think I am on the eve of first period post dd2! Going by how I felt after dd1 it will be a doozy. And I'm doing bloody race for life tomorrow!

I have been SO good today... Until cramps started

B two bananas and coffee
L massive salad with leftover Bol sauce
D syn free chips, salad and burger, sausage and lamb mint kebab

Snacks: yoghurt, a few crisps and a couple of thorntons chocs (medicinal!)

V interesting re bread - I will be weighing mine tomorrow

I've been good so far this weekend (still trying to undo Wednesday's pizza-induced damage!)

However, I ate out at Wetherspoons today but I'm not sure how to syn it, can anyone help please? I had chicken and pepper skewers (free I think, as they were grilled and didn't seem to have any oil/fat on them), with rice (also free I assume?) and salad. Didn't eat the peri peri sauce that came with it, but did have 2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce (no idea how many syns?) and a little bit of their salad dressing.

For dessert I had a fruit salad with frozen yoghurt. Can't find any syn value for frozen yoghurt on the website at all. Any ideas?

Hope everyone else is having a happy, healthy weekend .

I have been so bad this morning. But with free food, so it's okay right?!?!

I cut all the crusts off my bread. So I had 4 slices of crustless 400g wholemeal toast. And 4 SW fried eggs on top of each!!!!

Why?

Celebration! I'm at my lightest weight in quite a few years! 2lb off since Thursday.

The less I try the more I lose.

Go figure.

I forgot to say the 4 slices made 60g (Nimble) with the crusts off!

So you could have toast with breakfast, and a small sandwich at lunch if you really wanted.

Free food is always ok Detective. It's never bad, you are allowed to eat as much of it as you want. Did you really have 16 eggs though (4 on each slice of toast) or did you just have one on each, so 4 in total? 4 seems reasonably normal to me, but I'd be in awe if you'd managed 16.

Hah! It does read that way I guess! No, I had 4 eggs one on top of each slice .

I could eat a lot of eggs though!

It's easy .

I have completely lost the plot over the last 24 hours. Back I it tomorrow.

I've been good again today, mainly because I'm just too hot and bothered to eat!

B - Banana
L - Huge slice of watermelon and a Muller light (too hot for proper food!)
D - Pepsi Max Chicken and noodles
S - 2 satsumas

Haven't had any syns or my HEs. May have some cheese on toast later on tonight if I can be arsed to make it!

DP just made a quiche with quark and eggs. It was a massive omelette, basically. It was quite yummy!

When you guys all started, did you believe you were going to lose weight? And did you?

I've eaten so much yummy food this week, so much better than the processed crap I lived on before.

I'm a bit paranoid that I'm gonna go for my first weigh in having gained 7lb!

B - Porridge with water (HEB) and grapes
L - Potato salad (made with fat free yoghurt), massive salad and some grapes
D - DP's egg/quark concoction and another massive salad
S - various fruit

Still struggling fitting in my HEs

Welcome newbies :)

That's good to know about the bread Detective,thanks. I'll weigh it the next time I have some.

We went bowling again last night and I was good and had a salad in McDonald's after whilst DH had a burger etc. I didn't even feel like I wanted one which was unusual!

Today-
B-Weetabix and milk HEA & B banana
L- Broccoli and cheese pasta and sauce, jalapenos, bacon cheese 6 pomegranate
D- Indian takeaway- chicken dopiaza 7, boiled rice and salad

I've been swimming for 3 hours today so hopefully will have done some good.

Mama, the first time I did SW, I didn't believe that eating that much could possibly make me lose weight but it did. It works, have faith :)

I will try Isaac

Need to stop working myself up over everything!

Morning. Another 1lb off for me. Had a party y'day and my tummy was killing me by the evening after over indulging so I'm happy I lost anything.

Question - when you look something up and it says Bagels 50/50, 4 pack, 85g each 11 syns. That's 11 syns per bagel isn't it? Oops ...

Over the weekend i have been really good mealswise, done some exercise. And eaten enough peanut m&m's to sink a battleship

But they have all gone now, so no more syns for me this week! Not sure i will get to wi on thurs, it's supposed to be sports day for my youngest, weather permitting. But i could sneak on the scales on wed instead maybe.

I have stuff in the fridge for a big salad. Wondering what to have with it, on a green day. Any ideas? Am going to make sure i have my scan bran today as well.

Good luck to anyone with a weigh in today

No loss this week but looking back at my diary it got to Thursday n I pressed self destruct. No gain though so small mercys n all that. Stern talking to and a fresh start today

B - wheatabix (hex) milk (hex) strawberries, tea
D - prawns, pasta, lettuce, raddish, peppers, cucumber, spring onion, dressing. Activia yoghurt
T - salmon, roasted peppers/carrot/onions, cous cous (1/2)
Snacks - Apple and maybe an alpen bar with a brew (3)

So 1/2 to 3 1/2 syns and should b doing interval training tonight

Went out on Friday for drinks & a meal. A bit naughty yesterday (v small piece of quiche & a handful or Doritos). I'll get on the running machine before I weigh in tonight. Made a meal plan for this week.

Monday: - chicken kebab & chips (Healthy B pitta, roast chicken & salad, slimming world chips - free)
Tuesday: - grilled salmon, baby new potatoes & asparagus (free)
Wednesday: - Herby mince cous cous (free)
Thursday: - Chinese spice, honey & soy chicken stir fry (1/2 syn a serving)
Friday: - Gammon, jacket potatoes & veg (1/2 syn for extra light mayo on potato)
Saturday: - Pork stroganoff with herbed roast potatoes & veg (about 2 syns, max)
Sunday: - Chicken dinner with mash, SW roast potatoes, veg, gracy & stuffing (works out about 4 syns, max)

Now......if I can stick to that plan................

If I can come for tea every night I'll help you stick to the plan!!!
