Anyone want to jump back on the SW wagon with me next week?

[beanandspud]

I did really well on SW last year until about August when it all went horribly wrong.

We had a good virtual group on here. A lot of us were doing it ourselves rather than going to a group but we had some fantastic 'group losses'.

Does anyone want to join me next week and get going again? I am planning to weigh in on the 6th...

Lost 2. I was hoping for a bit more with it being the first week, but a loss is a loss.

Don't be disappointed fruitpastilles 2lb is a great loss . I seem to remember the mantra on here from last year was 'slow and steady...slow and steady" which is a far more sustainable way for the weight to come off.

Looking for a good day today (and DH is away which makes life easier)...

B - Banana and muller light
L - Parsnip soup
D - Potato wedges and vegetables with salmon

Well done fruit :) 2lbs is double what I lost if makes you feel better :)

And yes a fab loss. Some people lose 4/5lbs a week. Not us :(

B porridge and milk and banan so a&b
L
T lasagne and veg

Working today so not sure what to eat - will rummage in fridge and hopefully salad etc / don't want sandwich as used my b unless syns a slice of bread?

b - Scrambled egg made with skimmed milk, very lean ham, 2 small rounds wholemeal toast.

l - fruit & mullerlight strawberry yoghurt.

t - sirloin steak & sw chips, mushy peas

Does this all sound ok or am I going wrong somewhere ?

Anyone have a recipe for syn free rice pudding please ?

Kazzer I found this one on line rice pudding recipe

Or this one:

3oz Pudding Rice
500ml Diet/No Added Sugar Cream Soda
1 Vanilla Mullerlight Yogurt
1/2tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)

Put the rice and cream soda in a pan and bring to the boil.
Simmer until liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and leave to cool.
Stir in mullerlight yogurt and serve.

I'm not a fan of rice pudding so it doesn't float my boat so to speak but do feed back on what it's like?

Afternoon. I put 1lb on at WI last night so now I'm 5lb off target and I had to pay. So far today is

B - banana, 2 black coffees
L - herbal tea, 2 mugshots, satsuma, pint of water.
I am making a SW moussaka for tea (syn free).

Need to stop binging on rich tea biscuits (none left after last night), wotsits and chocolate...

I made rice pudding yesterday in eve and even dp liked it. Was amazed it was sw !!!

Which one did you make Blondes? One of the 2 Beans said ^^^ ?

I don't actually know why I was disappointed, I normally lose 1 a week so should be pleased...... And I am really I suppose lol.

I had a rice pudding recipe somewhere, must dig it out, it had cinnamon in and was quite nice.

Today was

Lunch - joes sausages (free), egg, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and spaghetti hoops.
Dinner was broccoli and fish pie, not a SW recipe, but bloody lovely, used 30g cheese as hea and the rest come out at 10.5 syns...... Which I would never normally use on a dinner, but Thursday is weigh day so I have a little treat

Still need to have heb have no idea what to have though as I'm full from dinner.

I used my milk allowance as didnt have any diet cream soda

And topped up with water and simmered 20ish mins

Rice
Milk - a
3 tablespoons of sweetener
Danone vanilla yog

Really nice. Will try with diet cream soda as then have a for cheese

Think kinda cocked up for lunch :(

Had a yummy mozerella (sp) and avacado salad

How much is half a avacado? Think they are very high in syns :(

Was lush tho !!!!

blondes the app says 100g is 9.5 syns

Wow is avocado syns? I thought it was some kind of vegetable? I don't like it anyway but wow I am surprised.

Thanks for the recipe, I will not it down ??

B - Kiwi fruit
L - Ham & Egg Salad
D - Poached haddock, sweet potato jacket, green beans, carrot and squash.

Not had my B yet so might make some more Weetabix muffins.

ouch at 9syns :(

wi tomorrow but may be gaining now as tottering on the edge of my syn limit

nacho - you like my weetabix muffins then?
roly -grrr @ having to pay, hope next week is better

Hello, just introducing myself. There seem to be two ongoing threads so I've picked what seems to be the busiest.

Can I talk you through my plan for tomorrow to check I'm thinking along the right lines please?

B: weetabix with milk and banana
L: pasta, tuna (annoyingly I thought tuna was free but just realised it's about 3 syns for half a can), peas & sweetcorn, light mayo (2), cheddar (25g), salad leaves
D: rice, ...

As I write I realise I need to have a rethink. Why on earth are prawns 5 syns?

Do you use all your syns, and can you carry over?

Mother girth - welcome and are you doin ee?

Coz if you are then tuna prawns - all fish - lean meats - pasta - rice - potato - fruit and veg - apart from avacado are free

They weren't too bad Blondes these ones have gone much better though, I used a toffee Greek style Muller so think half a syn for the lot.

mother you can carry over if you don't use them all that's fine.

As Blondes said, if you follow,extra easy plan all lean meat and fish is free along with pasta rice potatoes etc.

I'm tempted to try chocolate weetabix muffins - but I really enjoyed mine

Really :( at my avacado / why is it the only fruit / veg that isn't free

Oh right. I see what I've done - I used the wrong colour code and tuna and prawns have syn values on green, whatever that is

1 lb off - sure if I hadn't had the so yummy avacado and moz salad may have been Able to scrape 2 lbs

Well done blondes, a lb off is a lb in the right direction.

I am still amazed about avacado!

I have got weigh in tomorrow am.

mother green and original were the old plan, extra easy is well, easier ?? are you getting the hang of it now?

I've been very bad for 2 weeks Back to it today. I weighed in this morning and I've put on 3lbs That'll be the Christmas chocolates that jumped into my mouth. They are all gone now so I have no excuse.

so my plan for this week is to plan ahead.
Today I'm having
b: fruit and a high bar
l: egg and chips with mushrooms and peppers
d: probably risotto, loads of veg in and maybe some chicken.

I'm about to go through my recipe books and magazines to find some new and interesting meal ideas for the rest of the week.

Good luck nacho

Jam - 3 lbs isn't that bad for Christmas and sure will soon come off

-2lbs this morning! I'm delighted as I don't feel as if I have been at all deprived (apart from missing the odd glass of wine).

Today I'm having:

B- Banana (to be fair I got a very long lie-in this morning so it was rather more like elevenses)
L - Jacket potato, cottage cheese, large salad and muller light
D - SW paella with seafood

S - Alpen bars (HeB), lots of fruit, large g&t planned for this evening...

Just bought the SW magazine and hoping for some new recipe ideas.
