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.

Can I join?

Went to my first meeting yesterday .I'm trying to get to grips with the rules and the online food diary and feeling absolutely horrified i've let myself get so fat.I'm fatter than I was full term with twins with gestational diabetes .

Breakfast : oats soaked in sweetened water with Alpro yoghurt/blueberries/raspberries.

Lunch. : okra/tomatoes with lemon juice.

Hi canny,

Well done Laurie 1.5s a good un..

Food till now,
30g bread beans & scrambled egg.
Salad chilli & bib rice
Ff yogurt & pear. Crab sticks & 1 crispbread.
Tea was hunters chicken, hubby taking me out to pub that's got nice food & beer garden. Soak up the evening rays.
Will try to be sensible!!!

I gave in and got Coke Zero. Tasted the same as the full sugar coke. I know it's probably still got lots of syns, but with restructure, redundancies, tears and tantrums at work I needed something!! (And I'm not even being made redundant but the stress in the air isn't good for any of us).
Will do a thirty minute workout later to work it off :)

Coke Zero is FREE

Oh wow that is the best news ever!! Coke is my comfort :)

Got me a 2 stone weight loss certificate tonight.

Yay!!

Congratulations Calzone!
I was really hungry after yesterdays lunch of Okra and tomatoes so ended up eating the Spaghetti Bolognese at 2.30pm.Had a dinner of corn on the cob and crab sticks.I think corn is free?I'm really not sure as I can't find it on the list of free foods.

Does anyone else find the website really difficult to negotiate?I'm inputting my food in the diary and trying to work whether some lactose and gluten-free food are healthy choices.

B: 3 ryvita with lightest cream cheese (1.5s) and salmon. 1 slice toast. (3s) (HEB)
L: Baked potato with beans and quark
D: SW wedges with chicken (skin removed), carrots and brocolli. Topcorn popcorn, cinnamon flavour (5.5 syns)

Sn: fruit.
HeA: milk in tea.

10 syns total.

canny the online food diary is your friend, my mind was blown (it's the little things) when I discovered it, corn on the cob is free but I think only baby sweetcorn (the type you put in stir-fry) is speed. My only gripe is you can search for food on the app but not save it :/

also if you're on Facebook there is a page called 'syns allowed' that syns prepackaged meals.

I have a dire warning for you all, just because xxhot sauce is only 1/2 a sin a tbsp does not mean you should put the whole tbsp in your food, my god it's so hot I'm dizzy....

b: 2 hi-fi light bars
l: leftover spinach and butternut squash pasta with hexa cheese and aforementioned hot sauce of death.
d: chicken base pizzas with plenty of salad.

got my fitbit charge through today, I'm excited like a child at xmas...

Today:

B- scrambled egg and a yogurt and pear
L - smoked salmon and salad
D - Tikka salmon on rice (3 syns for tikka paste)

Syns - saving them for a curly wurly and ice pop later. I'm loving the aldi twister ice pops - 2.5 syns each and a lovely sweet treat.

I got my 1.5 stone award on tuesday. 22lbs so far. I now weight 12st6lbs. Aiming for 11st7lbs by my holidays in 7 weeks.

I am starting to feel really different about myself. I hadn't realised how low my confidence had gotten. I feel like i'm coming out of hibernation

Saved up a 50p to get myself weighed at Boots today. But as I've really upped my workouts and am getting some nice abs I think my weight might have actually gone up.

3.5 lbs off....total 40lbs since 4 Jan. Im very happy, next week I want 1.5lb off so I can get my 3st.

I weighed myself and I've lost 1lb in two weeks :/ My sister thinks it's because I work out everyday and that it's muscle - could this be true?

our leader says that exercise can cause you to gain muscle but also to gain fluid - our joints get more fluid around them for protection, and this can add weight too.

I think its more likely hormones...in 3 weeks I gained 1.5, lost 2, lost 3.5. Net loss - 4 lbs in 3 weeks.

Good work fanny, !!!!
Shehas, when you workout initially your body can hold fluid so sometimes we don't lose. Fat in the body takes up more space than muscle that's why we can weigh more but look slimmer. Muscles are toned and stay there fat just splodges.
You won't necessarily build much muscle as sw plan in practice runs with a deficit of calories and to build muscles you need extra. Look here at the pictures.x

Also forgot to say, you'd have to eat lots of progien to gain muscle & do some weight bearing exercise not usually cardio.x
