my 22.3 stone mission! :)

[Worryingwombat]

Hello everyone

I have had some problems recently but to look forward and remain positive I have decided to tackle my weight problem

I join sw last week I was terrified and even more ashamed when I.stepped on the scales 22stone and 3 lb I was mortified!!!!!

Anyhow I went through the plan for week one and I had my first weigh in yesterday and lost 5.5lb :)

I was so happy ?? I found this section of mumsnet tonight and thought I could use it as a diary and to get feed back on my menus!

Plus loads of hints and tips!! Oh and recipes

Today I had
Scrambed egg on 2 slices of wholemeal toast

Jacket potato with diced ham sweet corn and beetroot

Apple

Slimming world recipe spag bol
Made with Quorn

10 cal.jelly and 2 hi light bars

Xxx

Mis....what is it? Am on a tablet.

Just had cheesey Ringos and an Alpen Lite bar.

5.5 syns in total.

Does anyone eat sushi? Tis supposed to be really low.

Frozen muller light drops

Glad your all enjoying the frozen muller treats!!

Coconut- thanks I am doing fine got my head round everything and feeling positive for Ethan (ds) now!

Had a good day
B weetabix
L more speed soup
T chilli and salad

1 hour of roller skating again today with the kids just a bit of fun body magic!!

Had my first seizure in almost 3 months tonight could not think of any reason why it happened then found out that star week had arrived so must be a Hormone issue

But I am ok now! Just washed out and tired!! And of course in a painful bloat start week type of crap feeling

Still better than having seizures daily like I was before!! Convinced it's down to the weight loss and healthy eating!!

Keeping smiling
Keeping motivated
Positive pants on and pulled up high!!

Well that was a smiley face over load sorry!

....
....

.. Ok just 1 more

Welcome claira!! 10lb in 1 week that is amazing!!!!! Hands down the most lost in one week I have ever heard!!

SP is not for everyone I do it and enjoy it were as my mum who is also doing Sw in another city hated sp!!

You need to get through Carb flu to do SP as your body wants the carbs.

I think part of what helps me with sp is finding similar carb replacements such as singing swede or cauliflower rice, I also found that if I didn't use at least 1 hex b for bread it would be more difficult even though when I'm on EE I hardly ever use it for bread.

I must get some singing swede! I might feel a bit mean eating it though !

Weigh in for me today. Feel like I've done ok this week, even was pretty good over the weekend which is my usual downfall. We had takeaway last night, Turkish, but I made a massive salad while DH was out picking it up so I ate chicken shish (so just chunks, griddled), loads of my salad and a tablespoon of onion salad that came with it. Oh and a pork chop. Felt pretty lean and healthy so I feel happy I made an ok choice. And one small glass red wine.

I made a delicious SW friendly red Thai curry on Friday with white fish and seafood which was lovely. DH didn't like it cos it 'didn't have enough coconut milk in' but it had half the can But everything has to be full fat etc with him which is difficult. Was a bit pissed off as id had a tough day but still cooked a nice dinner for us both...yet he moaned! Ha, sorry, perhaps I should post on the relationship board instead

You have a good moan in here babs!! I certainly do!!

How did weigh in go!!

I am feeling good today! Went to the gym this morning played squash for 40mins with hubby! And then we went in to the full gym for a workout!

B weetabix
L speed soup
T burgers (no bun) with a sw salsa dressing and salad yum!!!

Sounds like a good day wombat!

1.5lbs off for me today, chuffed with that

B....cherry oats with melon

L...chicken dinner ((leftovers))

D...chicken with pasta and asparagus ((2s))

Snacks

Apples
Ringos((3.5))

Total disaster this week. Started off ok but went downhill as it wore on. Weigh in tomorrow and dreading it

Well that wasn't quite as bad as I thought. No loss but no gain either. ( am doing it online).
I know what went wrong. I started off guessing Syns each day and I stopped the food diary. It all descended from there. I also wasn't eating enough fruit and veg.
It doesn't take much to throw things off does it?

There are no meetings near me that I can get to, but when I do it properly it works! I just have to keep recording everything.

Some Nando's stuff is on the Syns calculator. There's a flame grilled chicken breast for 3 Syns.

I really wish they had more chain restaurant type stuff on the syns calculator. It can't be that difficult. I am desperate for a noodle soup from Itsu, a proper one with udon noodles from the shop. But I don't know the syn value. I know you can put calories in and approximate that way but I don't think that's accurate, because in theory all the ingredients should be free (it's grilled chicken breast, loads of veg like mushrooms/beansprouts/green beans etc, then udon noodles (which will be oily), and then the stock.

Yet whenever I put things like 'asda strawberry yoghurt' into the syns it brings up every other brand instead of asda

Am impressed piggychops that you can do it online! The fear of those scales at Group each week spurs me on when I can feel myself weakening

DH and the children are really supportive so although I weigh myself in private, I tell them my loss/gain each time. DH is shedding a few pounds with me so that helps. He just seems to have far more willpower than I do!

Babs sometimes it's easier to feed the nutritional info into the Syn calculator, then keep a note for future reference.
I've decided to Syn everything not free, and write it in big black marker on the packet. It's hopefully going to be a stark reminder before I eat.

SYNSALLOWED on FB is fabulous for SW syns.
