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.

Ooh Fanny.....coffee ice cream! And ginger pudding. Yum!

Might stick a muller lite in the freezer.....I have the cappuccino one.

Hi all, can I join.

I started a week or so after you. I originally weighed 10st 11, second weigh in was 10 St 9 1/2 and today's weigh in was 10 St 9 1/4 so a really slow loss.

Does water retention come into it all, I,ve started the water balance so been drinking loads of water the last few days.

Yesterday I tried to SP but not sure I did it right.

B.....quorn saus, bacon, beans and eggs. (1syn)

L....plate broccoli

D....chicken (2s) swede, salad

Snacks
Melon

HEB 35g Grape Nuts and milk
HEB 2 weetabix and milk

Syns pack Ringos

Today -

breakfast - Apple

lunch - 2 peices wholemeal bread (HeB) with bit of cheese (HeA), tomato puree, mushrooms and ham , grilled (like mini pizza). Banana.

dinner - pasta, chicken and a homemade sauce out of passata, onions, mushrooms and oregano with sms bit of cheese (HeA) to top. Served with salad. Fruit for dessert.

I'm losing 1lb a week. I'm getting a bit disillusioned TBH. At this rate it will take me 3 months to lose a stone. Anyone else feel like this?

thats 3.5 stone in a year - you have to play the long game. I would love to lose it quicker, but Im not sure thats good for my health.

I'm not looking to lose 5lbs a week but I would like to lose 2lbs.

Mine is the same Scarlet. I feel really bloated as well but I,m putting that down to all the water I,m drinking. I'm hoping it will all shred soon!

ohhhH!!! I was just going to ask that anyone else struggling to loose weight? I started three weeks ago, religiously following the plan EE, but the scale is still where I started. Weighing at home with this scale and God knows why!! not increasing though.. weighing in on Mondays, I think I should do it on friday, thinking, if over indulgence during weekends are the culprit. what do you guys think? but considering three weeks, the scale should show some respsct to my hard work, dont you think?? and

My weigh in is mid week. I don't know if it makes a huge amount of difference. I mean I am spending a small fortune on food, eating things that are fine, but not what I'd choose. I only drink on occasion and haven't had an occasion since I've started so not alcohol or anything. I do use syns for chocolate, I wonder would cutting that out make a difference?

1-2lb is all that's recommended by health ppl. Oh to lose that every week. I'd be happy with the 3 month stone award. Slim by summer. I agree with fanny, its a long game.
If your doing it at home try weighing another day to see any change. I have found that doing it myself I'm deluding myself to what I'm actually eating. Try writing everything down and on the weekend. I had 2 quality Streets earlier, that's 4 syns not counted.
Scarlet, is your food before sw different to now, you sound like your fed up with eating sw way. Its got to be sustainable for you long term or its not going to fit your life.

I suppose I was sucked in with all of these 3 stone off by summer success stories that were peddaled. I know an lb is an lb and I should be happy with that, but that is a months of sticking to the plan rigidly, I will have meals out and nights out and that will put a real kibosh on my loss. My 2 bugbears are that I'm an evening snacker and find that even after eating a huge SW dinner at 6pm, I am still starving 2 hours later. I miss cooking with butter and cream. I know neither are conducive to weight loss but from age frais is not a substitute. I know I can use syns and all that, but I feel I should be getting more for the effort I'm putting in.

Well done everyone!

I need some moral support. Had a stressful week at work and sabotaged my own weight loss. I'm so good every day till I get home and then I start eating eating eating.

So I gained 3 lbs this week Back on the plan today

Lost 5lb on the "how much stress can any one parent deal with" plan. But I did not fall into a vat of wine and a slab of dairy milk, (yeay me!) I persevered with the plan when I was able to eat. This weight loss looks like reduction in fluid retention from last week and not eating for 2 days!

But it does mean that I passed my 1 stone mark quite comfortably. And I was slimmer of the week. A small chink of light in an otherwise dark week.

Well done Fanny!

Sorry to those who are feeling low.....

Good week this week for me. 2.5lbs off making a 12lbs total.

I did SP from Mon- Wed and was weighed on Wed night.

B....LM sausages x 3
Hash browns x 2 (3syns)
Beans
Eggs x 2
Mushrooms
Quorn bacon (1syn)

I was stuffed! Still am really.

L....banana

Doing well calzone bet you are pleased. I slipped yesterday and despite making syn free pizza, ended up having some of the normal and gb. Think it is a texture thing. Oh and had a cooked breakfast with wee one at a play area. 1 1/2 hash browns not loaf of syns but extra and had butter on the toast (2 slices)

Have picked (tiny bits) on some twiglets.

Today we are out at a friends so wine will be a pain. I may try for the first few to intersperse with some water but it will prob be rubbish.

Good week 3 pounds off so 6 and a half pounds overall. Fell off the wagon last night so stuck to it today.

B - hifi Rocky road bar (lush) Synned it as using HeB on lunch (3 syns)

L - Cheese (HeA) on wholemeal toast (HeB). Ketchup (1 syn)

Snack - cucumber and ham
Another hifi bar (3 syns).

D- fish, sw chips, baked beans, salad. 1 biscuit (3 syns)

L....banana, tangerine, 35g Grape Nuts, Sk milk

D....pasta with broccoli, cherry tomatoes and a hint of anchovy
Sugar free jelly, Muller Lite and an Alpen bar 3 syns

because i haven't been eating, last night I had curry (small portion, as I could have put my fork down before I even ate a mouthful) and late last night, some ice cream. Not exactly SW, but one cannot live on tea and adrenaline forever.

B....overnight oats with pineapple

L....smash, beans & egg

D.....not sure yet

Snack....banana

D....Smash pizza
Was fabulous! Synned mozzarella for 3 syns. Rest was ham, mushroom,onion, rocket

Lunch - cheese and broccoli pasta n sauce (free, used milk from HeA allowance)

Snack - 1 laughing cow triangle (rest of HeA)

Tea - Chicken breast baked in oven, cous cous, passata, salad. Cherry Muller light

I've been super good all week and then just gone completely mental and had 2 crumpets with butter, 2 packets of crisps and some chocolate - gutted. Why am I so self destructive?

Lovely walk out with the dog today for over an hour, so feel quite good about that.

No breakfast, as still no appetite

Lunch: pasta with 1/2 tub of low low (HEX) smoked salmon scraps and a little lemon zest

But dinner was a bust - 3 slices of pizza - im counting that as 20 syns. Plus a glass of wine - 4 syns.

Ive also had 3 or 4 cups of tea with milk (add another 2 syns).

hey ho, tomorrow is another day.

Weigh in 10 St 9 3/4 so 1/2 Lb gain.

Flaw in the week, some pizza and gb on Friday eve.

Lots of wine sat eve.

I think I am going to weigh my self twice weekly to monitor it better.

Ho hum can I get to 10 St 7 in a week.
