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.

I follow your virtue after our hangovers

B - 2 bananas, 2 Miller lites

L - SW Chilli, baked potato.

D - cauliflower, broccoli, salmon, potato, SW Chilli

HexA - 2 Babybel lites

No Hex B. No Syns.

I also had sugar cravings and had to sit in front of a large box of chocolates all day without eating any. At a family lunch.

And then I came home and had to make cheese sauce for the family - obviously I can't eat that.

I need to try and master a good cheese sauce.

B....35g crispy mini weetabix with ff yoghurt, pineapple

L....went for an Indian buffet but was pretty good. Counting 10 syns.....

D....pineapple, banana....so far.....

Id also like a good cheese sauce recipe. Ive tried one with quark (yuk) and now I tend to use low-low cheese spread, melted.

Imagine macaroni cheese........

There's a cheese sauce someone posted on another thread. It's a head of cauliflower cooked in a little veg stock with a tub of extra light Philadelphia and some
Mustard powder added and then blended. I used it for cauliflower cheese topped with a HEa of mature cheddar per person and it was very nice, the rest of the family liked it.

Went over on syns yesterday but only had 25 syns so not the end of the world.
Snacked on grapes all morning as I've been at work and am about to cook a bacon and cheese omelette (no speed food!)
Any tips for speed for with a fry up? I don't like tomatoes or mushrooms

Very heavy weekend, just come in from lunch with oh. Very nice too!!! Tomorrow is a new day!!!

I have just eaten Scan Bran

WTF!!!! Is this evil food of Satans arsehole

No wonder there were 3 recipes on the table last week made of this thing

It's like All Bran, squished down with any remnants of flavour taken out of it.

Lost 1 pound Saturday. Had a bowl of strawberries, a banana, some milk for breakfast. Passata, pasta and cheese for lunch, and some puffs (3 syns). Am being good tonight - uni friends are ordering takeaway, I'm going over and eating with them but taking my own food - sw chips, chicken wrap (HEB) and lettuce. Just shows how much I've changed - would never have dreamed of taking own food before. I can still have the fun without eating the crap!

B - 2 nimble and marmite, banana, tomatoes, muller lite

L - scan bran arseholes, quark, tomatoes, banana, muller lite

D - SW spaghetti Bolognaise, spaghetti, green beans

Syns - 2 (Scanbran)

Does anybody know the difference in syns with gelato/ice cream (or is it exactly the same thing )
Went to the local coffee shop where they make the most beautiful gelato fresh in house (!) hard to say no to, so I had a scoop of each - but I'd probably count it as 3 regular (60g) ice cream scoops.
Other than that, I've been very good today. I just feel SO much more in control!

Keep forgetting to add food diary sorry!

B: Half a bunch of grapes, omelette with bacon and 40g lighter cheese
L: Banana, grape + apple fruit salad, 2 large scoops of gelato (I'm estimating this at 19.5 syns)
D: SW chicken curry, had pasatta, onion and peppers in but would't say 1/3 sp

Will probably have a snack of carrot stick this evening as have some left from a few days ago that need finishing off and I always get peckish later.

B: Overnight oats (cherry and berry)
L: Leftover salmon, leftover noodles, stirfry veg (2syns for oil)
D: Morrocan beef tagine (2 syns apricots) with couscous (1 syn) Mullerlight.

Now Im stuffed!

Hello I'd love to join you all if you don't mind. I started SW last Monday and have been lurking here for a week. Lost 2.5lbs this week which I'm pleased about and also strangely disappointed as I was hoping for a bit more but anyway it's a good start. I'm going to post my food diary here daily. I'd just like to say that even just reading your posts you've helped me enormously getting to grips with it all. So thanks and I'll catch up tomorrow.

Wedding anniversary celebrations today!

B....3 quorn sausages, 2 hash browns (3s) potato wedges, egg,

L.....none

D.....seafood extravaganza!
DH cooked. SW style. Spaghetti with crab, lobster, mussels, langoustines, squid. Tomatoes and garlic. Syn free bliss.

Strawberries and melon with Muller

oooh calzone, I love the sound of seafood extravaganza!

pheebs, welcome, I find that writing it all down here does help. Plus I get ideas from others.

Welcome to all the new posters.

Its been a chaotic week with a house move and the food madness that comes with it. So i;m going to do yesterdays and today's in an effort to reign it in

Yesterday:

B - mullar light with tbsp on linseed, pear, orange
L - (on the go from a deli counter) Wholemeal wrap (HO B), spicy breaded chicken breast (baked not fried) with lettuce and cheddar (HO A). I'm going to syn the chicken at 5 to be conservative, half a back of buttons (5) and an apple
D - Chicken madras with Rice made using a paste (2 syns)

Late last night - Aldi choc cookie. Maybe 20 syns. Its hard to find out. So that's 32 syns yesterday

Today:

B- mullar light with seeds. Very small slice of sponge cake (4 syns)
L - Salad
D - Chilli con carne on a wrap (5 syns)

Its weigh in night so i'll have a bar after and try get back on the band wagon tomorrow

Seeing as I'm going on how my clothes feel rather than weight, is it naïve to hope that I'll see a difference a month in?

Hi Hope you dont mind if I join in. Im 5ft 3 started at 16 9 at end of August last year now 13. 13.5. WI tomorrow. Out tonight at DDs school rock performance so will get a takeaway on way home but will chose somethign low syn. Had 2 Hi Fi Bars and some satsumas today so far.

bigsister, i started in January, have lost just over 2 st and only now seeing a difference in clothing - OK, last month I could feel clothes werent as tight, but now, I know I need to think about buying a smaller size - because while carrying in groceries yesterday, my trousers fell down around my ankles... annoying yes, embarrassing yes, but felt pretty good actually!

caldonegal, welcome!

B- scrambled egg & tomatoes 1 hex b bread
L- chicken stirfry with oyster sauce. 0% activa yogurt
D- chilli con carne ( it was bloody spicy)mixed vegetables & rice.
S- other hex b bread 1 cheese triangle (half hex a)
Will have fruit salad later & 1 cadburfy mello. (3 syns).

Rejoined group this morning. I like 10lb gone by July 1st, but a very slow loser. Will try hard.
Well done on the falling down trousers fanny, made me chuckle!!

Thank you Fanny !

Today -
Breakfast: Poached eggs on toast (Healthy B)
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Ham, beetroot, half an avocado (7 syns), bean salad
Snack: Apple
Evening: Pork, Boston baked beans (add 6 syns for the bacon as not lean) and peas

In total 13 syns, Healthy A going on milk for my endless cups of tea as I try to finish my thesis!

Today;
B: poached eggs smoked salmon, roasted kale and grilled mushrooms
L: sweet potato, quorn mince and veg and more kale
Supper: vegetable risotto
Finished with green and blacks choc I think 7.5 syns
Frustrated because I was saving myself for toast and peanut butter and banana as a treat but now I ate with the kids just because it was all in front of me so I don't think I can have it now. Oh well maybe tomorrow. Odd thing to fancy I guess but I just wanted it!
