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.

Bitchpeas I think I managed 2 lots of exercise during my entire last pregnancy

Calzone I know it's a little late but from what I can gather red and green are different days on a red day you would have meat and syn certain veg and on green days it's the other way around so bit like the extra easy SP days but image one day is S and other day is P.
To much hard work to remember what I can and can not eat each day.
Maybe someone who's doing it can come and tell us xx

Hi crystal, EE is extra easy - free meat vegetables, fruit, pasta, grains etc plus 1 a& 1 b choice + syns.
SP is any food marked S -speed or P- protein marked in the new book. Plus fruit. Pasta rice potatoes & grains aren't sp.
The idea is you fill your plate with protein & healthy carbs and fill on that.
Lots of foods that were speed foods aren't now if you've got old style books.
Does that help?

Have got my head round this now. Tis sooooo simple.

For me.....

Sk milk
2 x brown bread (Nimble)
Everything else is free!

(Not cakes, sweets, etc. Tis a fat free, low sugar diet.)

Weigh in tonight.

I have eaten so much fruit this week I don't think I can take anymore!

Today looks like this:
Breakast: wholemeal toast, egg and beans
Lunch: tomato soup
Snacks: 3 Dairylea light, grapes, banana, apple
Dinner: salmon, mash and veg
Syns: Cathedral City baked bites - no idea how many syns but I needed them!

Am going out for a meal tomorrow and then a birthday party on Sunday -eeek!

I LOST 9LBS IN WEEK 1!!!!!

That's amazing calzone, well done!!
How did u find sticking to the plan?

Can I join you? I'm doing sw but can't afford the membership at the moment so finding this useful to read. Can I ask what you all drink throughout the day? I have to Syn any cheese as i used he - b for milk to have with tea and coffee. I like quiet a few herbal teas but need the caffeine throughout the day.

Well done Calzone!

Can I join? I'm on week 2 of SW and weigh in tomorrow. got a lot to lose...

Today:

B: Sultana bran (hexB) with mullerlight, banana.

Milk (HexA) all day for teas. I use lactofree skimmed.

Lunch: Homemade tomato, veg and lentil soup with 25g low-low cheese (4 syns)
1x liquorice twist (.5 syns)

Snack: apple

Dinner: Chicken breast with bacon, fat removed, (.5 syn for oil - 1 tbs divided by 4 servings), new potatoes, veg, gravy (1 syn), mango for dessert.

Been walking the dog for an hour a day also - so hoping for a loss this week.

Plan was fine as everything is free.

Am eating loads but feeling healthy and full.

I know not to go near the biscuits as one leads to 10 for me. Same with chocolate.

Low fat yog, fizzy water, good meals, no fat or oil.

Hi English girl, have you got any bools to follow, I could get a copy to you if you pm where.

That's books* not bools

That's a mega loss calzone, well done!!!!!!!!!!

Hi annie - I've got the extra easy express, the all in one and the fakeaways recipe books, the syns directory from last year and the book that tells you all about the free foods, healthy extras etc. Think i might need an updated one as it seems to have changed this year but I'm losing following the old plan so not sure whether to bother? How different is the new stuff?

There's not much difference, they only promoting ee & sp now.
The sp is like a success express day without the potato or pasta choice and only 1 a.
If your losing its no problem.
I'm sure most of us here have a diet book backlog. I got more sw & ww plans than the consultants.

I'm not paying for membership either. I managed to buy some new SW books from The Works online at a discounted price, so might be worth a look.

Amazing weightloss in your first week calzone !

I'm in my second week of Slimming World. Started at 15st 6lbs and had first weigh in on Monday this week. Lost 3.5lbs which I'm very happy with. Still going strong and next weigh in on Monday night.

The only time I went wrong this week was at a working lunch where catered sandwiches on granary bread were provided. I kind of had to have them as they were the only option but I didn't take many and had free food the rest of the day.

Today was the first day I was tempted to go back to an old habit of picking up a pain aux raisin from Caffe Nero when I was too late to have breakfast at home. I managed to walk past and instead had apple, banana and grapes at work for breakfast.

Lunch: Jacket potato with baked beans and cucumber. This week I'd made my own lunch until today and there's not a lot of options in the canteen that fit in!

Breakfast: Weetabix (HE) with milk (HE)
Snacks: Cucumber, tomato, banana, apple
Lunch: Tomato soup
Dinner: Might be going out for a meal, but am hoping to order sensibly esp as I've had two cups of tea because I felt a migraine coming on! Not had many syns this week so I can add them to those two cups.

I've lived off fruit, veg and soup for two weeks, am looking for to making a SW friendly lasagne at the weekend though. Will freeze portion for lunch. And I did some abs exercises and have started using the stairs to our fifth floor office rather than the lift. It all adds up lol.

Shall I join you please? Time to shift some pounds after ds2. I have books from when i did it for 4weeks in 2012. Planning to do without going to groups and weigh in at homes on fridays. Thinking of starting SW on 19th Monday, on EE plan. Meal planning in progress ??. Thats hw i came across this thread.

I lost 3lbs on my first weigh in this week. I'm following the extra easy plan, making dinners from the recipes available online, soup or leftovers for lunch etc. I reckon I'm down probably another lb since weds. I'm having chocolate and synning it. I like it as a plan as I am not hungry and the recipes are very tasty and I don't have to cook something different for the rest of the family. I'm happy with a slow and steady weight loss. 9lbs is an amazing loss, well done!!

Well after all my hard work this week I couldn't go to my meeting as my 4 year old has a horrible sickness bug
By my bathroom scales I have lost about 3 pounds though.
Today yogurt and fruit for breakfast, turkey rashers beans and scrambled egg for lunch and chilli and rice for dinner. Just realised I've had no healthy extras today, will maybe have a snack later on.
After an awful couple of days though am very tempted to dive into the wine, it's just the thought that I might be up all night clearing up sick that's stopping me!

Thanks everyone.

B....2 weetabix and fruit platter
Banana
L....chicken and bacon salad
Snack.....Mug shot
D...veg soup and beef stirfry with noodles
Melon

• sk milk

Am loving this way of eating.

im afraid I am a backslider - found it must have been very hot in my living room last night as my wine just evaporated, and then I found chocolate had appeared in my mouth.

I made up for it with a 5 mile walk thismorning, back on plan with a big brunch of eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast, with 2 mugs of tea!

I need some free convenience food ideas......

Is Ainsley's couscous free?
