Slimming World weigh in and food diaries......

[calzone]

There are lots of SW posts which I love reading but was finding it difficult to remember where to post my weigh in and menus for the day.

Hope no one minds me doing this......

I am Calzone and I am 5ft 6'. I joined SW last week and weighed in at 14st 3lbs.
I am doing Dry January and think I have been pretty good this week with my food choices.....

Food today
B......fruit/tea with sk milk
L...2 bread, beans, 2 eggs
D....DH is doing Lebanese and promises it is SW friendly.

So, if you want to do the same.....post and share, otherwise this will be my SW experience.

Thanks guys. I'm giggling at auto correct changing hypo to hypocrisy. Who knew?! Haha! I've only really half stuck to plan until last week, as I've been eating what I want at meals out, having latte's and not counting them and mainly getting away with it as I don't have many syns on a daily basis. I'm going to try really hard to be totally on track for a few weeks now as I worked out if I lose 2lb a week I can then be 2 stone lighter by my step daughter's graduation.

B: Melon. Satsuma
L: Chicken salad sandwich (hexB) with light Hellmans (2 syns)
D: chicken Paella. 2 syns for chorizo. Total 0% split pot raspberry and pomegranate. 2 syns. Apple.
Sn Alpen light 2.5
HexA: Milk in tea and coffee.

total: 8.5 syns.

Weekly syns: around 85 I think.

The split pot yoghurt sounds nice! I didn't realise some were only two syns. l'll have to try them.

Today I've had:

B: apple and banana

L: plain 3 egg omelette and salad

D: korma style curry with rice and a big salad.

Snacks: pack of sushi and an apple.

Anyone away at the weekend?
We are off camping today (motor home not tent) in planning Cooked breakfast, soup for lunch with lots of fruit, and bbq dinners (no bread)
I was packing all the kids treats last night with a face like this
I must admit I'll be having a drink but I bought vodka instead of wine or beer!!

Hi all,

I haven't posted in a few days. Weigh in on tuesday and I lost another 2 so thats 11.5 in 3 weeks

Today:

B - 2 slices of bran bread for opt B, Mullerlight and some pineapple

L - Salad with feta and croutons

D - ??

I was planning on ordering thai food tonight. I was thinking the prawn chilli basil with boiled rice. Any thoughts on how to apply syns? The only syns I can see is the oil used. Any thoughts?

cakeface, Thai food often has palm sugar in too, so maybe factor in a 1/4 tsp sugar.

I have lost 2.5lb this week, bringing my total weight loss to....(drumroll....) 30lb! Very happy with that.

Thanks Fanny. I'm looking forward to break from the kitchen!

I'm determined to get my first stone on Tuesday so need to shift 2.5lbs this week

Fanny, that's brilliant! 30lb is LOADS! Well done!

Great losses people! Well done!

Fanny....I use chicken stock for my mash instead of butter and milk.....small tip in case you are ever short of Syns.

Syns....1 Benefit bar (2.5)
Packet Zoo cheesey crisps (4.5)

I've never thought to use stock in mash. I will try it. I usually use a beaten egg or two mashed in.

B: left over korma style curry and rice. Big bowl of melon, pineapple and orange. Cherry danio yoghurt (1 syn)

L: nothing as breakfast was so late and huge!

D: roast chicken, sweet potato wedges, salad and 3 tbsp nandos peri peri sauce. (1.5 syns for the sauce)

I haven't had the nandos sauce before, but it's really nice and made the meal really.

Snack: banana.

I'm still hungry and debating whether to have anything... Have some bargain parsnips in the fridge that were 1p a bag, so going to make curried parsnip soup in the slow cooker overnight I think as too late to do on the hob now and won't have time tomorrow.

thanks calzone, i will try that. my kids hate SW food, and so last night DD cooked and made things the traditional way. I had syns to spare though, so all good.

I watched a youtubey type programme yesterday about sugar addiction and how its making us obese - in particular, it kills the receptors in the brain, needing us to eat more and more for the same effect - just like other drugs. Fascinating. I have found a reduced need for sugar and stodge while on SW - I just havent felt the need lately for pasta and other starchy foods. But the sugar craving can be bad on some days.

hello all, happy MOnday!

B: An experiment - savory oats. Im not one for very sweet breakfasts, and my Californian friend suggested oats with a fried egg, bacon, tomatoes and plenty of salt and pepper. The jury is still out on this, because it was just peculiar to have those silky/slimy oats as a basis for the bacon and eggs. (Oats were HexB, made with water).

L: Leftover curry, 1 tbs mango chutney (2 syns). STrawberries, banana and grapes in a coconut mulllerlight. Yum.

D: Risotto and salad. Fat free dressing. Mullerlight.

milk in tea all day for hexA.

Ate loads today, having a hungry day.

B - fruit salad (frozen fruit, strawberries). Glass of milk. (HEA)

Snack - slice of lean ham.

L - Brown wrap (HEB) with chicken and mayo, and salad. (0.5 syns). Banana and yogurt afterwards.

Snack - lemon water, black coffee and canderel (about 4 mugs). Pufts (3 syns).

Tea - sw chips baked with oregano, seasoning and garlic salt (YUM), slimming world sausages, salad, mayo (0.5) and ketchup (1)

Was still hungry so had banana and cup of tea. Am still hungry . Must have worms or something, why do I still feel peckish? Been drinking water all day so it's not just thurst.

L -

Also had a Greek fruitopolis yogurt and blueberries

hstar, that sounds lush!

I've had:

B: 2 apples

L: sushi and a pack of sliced apple and grapes.

D: bacon cheese burger with Cajun mayo and salad.

Options hot choc.

It was even the boys in my flat liked them (I'm in uni halls) and they're adverse to anything that's not fried in oil do must have been good
