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.

slimmerforsummer, do not despair! Count your syns as around 30, you get 105 a week, so as long as you dont overdo it the rest of the week and stay under 10 syns you will lose. And poor you with a little one and BF'ing too? Exhausting, so do whatever it takes to get through the day.

Welcome tipsyandTOm! good job on the weight loss. pop in any time.

Thanks for the welcome Fanny!

1.5 off for me....!

Yay! Well done

Well done Fanny

Well done Fanny.

I feel slightly demotivated. Been so good with my eating and exercise and measuring everything, checking the SW books, only cooking SW recipes.
On May 2nd I weighed 9 stone 10lb. Today I weigh 9 stone 12lb.
I don't know where this extra 2lbs came from, especially when my waist feels smaller and I can now fit into trousers I couldn't before.

I've measured my waist and will keep an eye on that.
I'm 5 ft 4" so my current BMI is 23.6. If it goes to 25 I will be overweight. I really don't know what happened. I previously weighed myself on a friends scales and today I weighed myself at Boots. Can only hope that one of these scales wasn't working properly!!

SheHasAWildHeart, it could be hormones, it could be the increased exercise (muscle heavier than fat) or fluid retention in joints due to exercise.

Give it another week, and see how you do. Two different scales can be wildly off - pick one and stick with it.

Its friday night and Im off plan

B: 2 toast (heB) with Nutella (4 syns) and banana
Milk in tea - Hex A

L: moroccan beef (1 syn) with rice. Mullerlight. Toffee 2 finger kitkat (5.5 syns)

D: SW chips, peas, vegetarian bake (counting 4)

ANd then it went from bad to worse....

2 sticks of licorice (4 syns); 1 slice bread and butter (5 syns) a giant pancake (11 syns) a glass of wine (4.5 syns) and a packet of pufts (3.5 syns)

So about 42 syns for not much benefit.

I am hoping it's a combination of my periods coming up that my weight hasn't gone down.
But Fanny I think I went OTT with syns too after that weigh in! Went to Nando's had half a chicken, peri peri chips, peas and two glasses after Fanta. Total syn city I know but I enjoyed every mouthful :)
Still did my workout when I got home though.

well, the ruin continues. Not even going to count the syns - wine, chocolate, crisps, thai curry........

Back on plan tomorrow.

((Cracks Whip))

Stoppppppppp!!!! All of you.

Stop sabotaging yourselves and hoik yourselves back up on the SW truck!!

B.....mahoosive bowl of fruit with 40 g crunchy bran, natural yoghurt
L....bachelors pasta and sauce with peas
D.....Waitrose Easy to cook Cod Fillet with Creme fraiche (2.5) roasted vegetables and sweet potato fries

Rhubarb
Quark
Alpen bar (2.5)
Crispy Rolls choc bar (6)

I was a bit off plan (for me) on Friday night with my bottle of wine and 2 packets of Aldi cheese curls (30 syns)

And had the monster hangover on Saturday morning - just the worst, I even feel
still crap this morning at 6am.

So I had to go to a tea party Saturday and I hoped it would be a buffet but alas it was a sit down afternoon tea with a lot of people I don't really know - so I didn't want to look conspicuous by eating nothin. So
I had 3 triangles of a sandwich (salmon and a smear of cream cheese), one mini scone with jam and cream, half a mini eclair, half a jam tart.

And then ate nothing else the rest of the day so was completely starving. A day of only Syns and no other food - 27 so not too awful. There was no way round eating though without looking like a right arse. I missed out on so much cake but ive got 5 and a half stone to lose so right now only 3 weeks in Id rather do that than eat.

I'm going to have a day of eating plenty of free today - my only problem is we're having a birthday party so the only thing I can't avoid is the syns from the lovely burgers and sausages (barbecue) but cam easily avoid the coleslaw and potato salad and the cake ive now got to get up and make.

Calzone, thanks for the smack.

Honestly, i had a stressful week and just went "oh fuck it" last night. I think the issue is that I had a busy busy day, got home after 6, no food in the house, everyone expecting me to rustle something up when actually what I wanted was to sit and be left alone. Of course him-indoors couldnt possibly make dinner (grr) or shop for any food. SO all down to me and I had nothing specific planned.

Ah well, today is a BRAND NEW DAY and I shall be shopping later and planning and looking at several no syn days. And forgiving myself.

What I have learned was that chocolate is not all that, cheese is OK but really didnt hit the spot, but the one thing that i'd say "I regret nothing!" over was good bread and vegetable antipasti with lots of olives. THAT hit the spot, oh yeah baby!

today:

B: 2 toast (HeB), beans and egg
L: Large Salad, naked burger, (3.5 syns) mullerlight
D: Steak, new pots, salad, corn, strawberries. Salad dressing (1 syn)

HEx A in tea.

A Brand.New.Day.

((Puts whip down ))

B....3 LM sausages, 1 hash brown (1.5), beans, egg
Coffee
L.....none
D....chicken fajita on huge salad on HEB wrap, Birdseye rice (2.5)
Sugar free jelly and blueberries

Made a huge jug of Flat Tummy Water which is quite tasty. Had 2 glasses tonight plus a slim tea.

Really want 2lbs off this week.

What's an LM Sausage?

I had a barbecue yesterday and all the sausages were 4 syns

Hi everyone I been reading slimmingworld website and it says you can make a big bowl of cous cous and snack on this throughout the day as its free I have a cupboard full of ainsley harriott cous cous that says low fat am just wondering can I have this its 141 cal per 100g and 0.9g fat

No exercise this evening, periods seem to be taking all my energy out of today - although I did manage Day 4 of the 30 Day Abs & Squat Challenge!

((Puts whip in corner, ready to crack it))

LM sausages are Linda McCartney sausages but the red onion and rosemary which are lovely. And free.

Heck chicken sausages are lovely too.

Flat tummy water is lemon, mint, cucumber and grated ginger. Made a big jug of it and quite enjoying it.

Not sure about dinner.

ANother vote for Heck chicken sausages. Also the chorizo ones are nice with paella....

L: Chicken salad (chicken, celery, apple, lighter than light mayo) on lettuce/grated carrot/cucumber. (1 syn). Mullerlight.
D: Pasta with chicken, red pepper, sweetcorn and 1TBS low-low cheese spread (2 syns). Mullerlight with strawberries and banana.

No HEX B yet. Milk in tea for HexA.

L - 2 apples, yoghurt, pear, chicken wings with no skin
D - potato, mushrooms, tomatoes, rocket, beetroot

No Syns.
No hex a

I can highly recommend Asda Extra Special Reduced Fat Pork Sausages. Out of all the low fat ones I have tried they are by far the tastiest.
