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 please ? I started sw Thursday I'm 11st 8lb and want to lose three stone.

no breakfast again....still not really got an appetite

Lunch: Steamed two leaks, cut into 4 inch lengths, Wrapped in ham and then used 1/2 tub of low-low cheese spread melted on top as HEX. Very nice!

Dinner - soup 1.5 syns

plus 2 syns for teas.

ANd a long walk with the dog. Just realised ive had no HEXB so might make myself some toast. just not hungry :(

Hope you're ok fannyfan

thank you silky - just dealing with some personal crap that is sending anxiety sky high and, far from being a stress eater, I just cannot really get enthused.

Felt a bit disheartened this week due to losing 6 pounds in 4 weeks (I know its better than nothing, but not as much as I wanted) but have decided that the past Is the past and the futures what mattered. Stuck to plan today -

B - banana, Apple, tea with milk (some HeA)

L - beans on toast (HeB). some strawberries. 2 dairylea light triangles (HeA)

D - smash, Bisto, Yorkshire pudding, carrots - 5 syns. Strawberry Muller light.

Plus been gym and going swimming soon. Feel more positive today .

Yesterday was -

B - raspberries and yogurt

L - Omlette with cheese (HeA), mushrooms and a rasher of bacon (fat cut off).

Snack - 1 square green and blacks, 1 syn

D - blt burger from this months magazine (was gorgeous) in a wholemeal roll (HeB), with cheese (2 syns), lettuce, ketchup (1 syn) and sw chips. Frozen Muller light for dessert.

So all that and only 4 syns! I've discovered I can actually cook homemade burgers, amazing considering last year I could barely boil pasta

Today -

Meeting with people off my course to do a group project, so I had a bowl of pasta n sauce at 11am (with ham and lettuce, pasta 1 syn, milk HeA ) which I hope will see me through until tea.

Tea tonight will be a chicken stir fry with mushrooms, peppers and carrot, plus some blue Dragon stir fry sauce (4 syns). Am busy tidying, doing uni work and gym tonight, so may use my HeB on some Weetabix or toast after the gym

Yesterday:

Combination of stress and toothache, so not much eaten:

B: Bacon, egg, mushrooms, beans. Tea with milk *HE

L: Soup - 1.5 syns

D: some morrocan chicken tagine, with a tiny bit of rice. COntained dried apricots, so counting a couple of syns there too.

Muller light x 2.

Ive just had a nice lunch - Tesco smoked haddock with spinach mornay sauce 1 syn for the whole pack (should serve 2). Yum.

Been drinking tea all day, so need to actually fuel up a bit I think tonight, as Ive had very few carbs over the last week and havent really be following the plan.

1.5lb down. happy. Things looking more positive today, so onwards!

Lost 2.5lbs so 1 stone 0.5lbs off in 5 weeks!

B.....overnight oats, fried into pancakes
Sn......fruit
L.....fresh peas, bean salad
D....quorn stirfry with noodles
Sn....melon

Got lovely syns to look forward to.....

B - Weetabix (HEB) and milk (HEA)

L - chips (10)

Snack - bread roll (6)

Dinner - stir fry (4 syns)

Snack - square of choc - 1.5

21 syns overall but then I have been saving my syns all week so it's ok(ish). Not much fruit in here though, will eat more this following week. Way in tommorrow .

B - cup of tea using some of HEA

L - Brown bread roll (HEB) with tomato puree, cheese and ham and oregano (kind of like a pizza bread), served with lettuce, cucumber, mayo (1 syn)

D - chicken with seasoning (baked), rice and salad. Muller light for dessert.

1 syn

have had an early weigh in (norm mon) 10st 9 so 3/4 lb lost since Monday. I actually thought I,d only lost 1/4 lb so 3/4 is much better (and that lovely Tom).

Prob going out for lunch / dinner today so not going to worry too much as it's Valentine's Day.

Had some stollen as a treat with my latte for breakfast. I would imagine it is a zillion syns.

Today I think will not count.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone

Word on the street is that you can have a full litre of almond milk as your HEA. I had hot chocolate last night with almond milk and options and it was lovely!!

I'm three pounds down this week really pleased with that, ive lost half a stone it got to lose 5.5 pounds now to reach my stone award, hopefully I'll get it by the end of February
