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.

L: Soup (1.5) plus 1 slice bread
S: 2 ryvita with cheese spread (HEA) (4 syns)
D: Salmon teriyake, rice and stir fry veg (1 syn for oil, shared)

Im having an eating day today, been peckish and wanting to gorge myself silly on stuff in the fridge. Have resisted.

Todays been a bit shit

B - beans on 1 slice toast (HEB) and hifi bar (HEB)

L - friend wanted to go to union for lunch so had a baguette (6 syns). It was her birthday so brought cake and I had a small sliver - counting 15 syns for that. Then she passed round lindor balls but I only had 1 - 4 syns.

Weigh in tonight. Mot had a fantastic fortnight since last weigh in but oh well.

Started doing exercise yesterday and will try to do 15 minutes every morning if possible. Just need to be stricter with my syns. It's not the main meals that are an issue, it's snacking

well done Calzone! 2lbs is great!

Cookie, I think some weeks are like that! Pick yourself up, dust yourself down, start again.

I had a bad day yesterday, took DD to see a university and there was NOTHING to eat but sarnies and similar, so skipped lunch, had some fruit at 4, got stuck in God awful traffic coming home, and then didnt get to dinner until gone 8pm, by which time I was not in the mood for cooking something different for me, so ate hunter chicken with kids.

And I had 2 small glasses of wine after a shit day.

So about 20 syns just hoovered up with bad choices. I usually hate ready meals, but I think I may try some of the SW frozen meals from Iceland so I can have something in the freezer for days like this.

Its not hard to hoover up syns is it and unfriendly snacking is a killer.
I'm going to Iceland later for some sausages, worth a try. I miss a real one as one = a wine.
Might try a tikka masala meal too. They had an open evening at one local store cancelled last night as they'd run out of products. We'll see what they've got.
Does anyone think that they eat too much 'free' food. Mine yesterday was,
2 eggs on 1 nimble
Fruit & yogurt
Beef stew & 1 nimble
Chilli & rice & salad
Fruit & yogurt
1 ryvita & cheese triangle.
Am I missing something.

Our leader said to eat as much as you like of free foods.
So I will.

Just eaten

Baked beans
2 LM sausages
2 poached eggs
2 hash browns (3 syns)

17lbs off since beginning of January.

Had a big fruity day today, trying to get in the speed.
Had a bag of frozen berries and a chopped apple today for snacks with no fat yogurt. Plus stew & spag bol, lots of speed included.No biscuits today and 3 syns on ryvitas. Quite pleased with myself.

Didn't go last week but lost the three pounds I had gained the week before. So overall I've lost 4.5 lbs in four weeks which is slow but I know why. Quite happy the pounds I had gained are gone again.

Has anyone tried the ready meals? We had a bit of a taster today and I have to say they were ok.

Cafe rouge tomorrow with a friend. Any advice on what I can eat?

Wow Calzone! You are doing really well! I'm down 9lbs since the beginning of January. I still feel progress is slow but if I'm down another 10lbs by the end of April I'll be most pleased!

well I went along expecting a gain, or at best, maintaining, after a week of poorly planned meals and several lapses.

And I had lost 2lbs!

got my stone and a half award too - since jan, so really chuffed.

Everyone is doing so well.

I on the other hand have had rubbish choices (forced)on me by the external world. 3 day long day trips at fast fried food places (work) followed by 13 hr work days when every meal has been missed.

On the other hand I have realised I have been spending approx £4/5 on fruit each day for breakfast (shopping after kiddy drop on way to work). Found frozen fruit bags cheaper at big brand stores ie 90p fruit salad and 1.80 Forrest fruits.

Water challenge still loving but long days have struggled simply for avoiding as travelling and no 'release' system close to hand. I really recommend it though

Lost 4.5 pounds this week only got a pound left until Ive lost a stone!

B.....none

L....smash, eggs, beans

Fruit

D...pan fried pigeon Breast with balsamic reduction
Sweet potato and turnip wedges
Broccoli
Sprouts
Asparagus ((all Syn free))

Dessert was a chocolate cheesecake

B....overnight oats with blackberries

L....quorn chilli and noodles with salad

D...chicken Shwarma and salad with baba ganoush

Ive had a rubbish day:

B: Pilchards on toast (HEB)
L: Soup. 2 ryvita (4 syns) with cheese spread (hexA). APple, banana
D: Roast pork. 2 bits of crackling. (7 syns) Cauliflower cheese (counting 2 syns). Veg. SPuds. 2 glasses of wine. (10 syns) plus tea all day (4 syns for milk).

So a colossal 28 syns today. And yesterday was just as bad. I think I shall have to try hard this week!

Lost a 1lb despite all the rubbish last week.

Going to have a really focused week hopefully and continue the slow plod.

Good effort silky, you must of been better than you thought. Ive been getting the frozen fruit as well its easy to keep some in the fridge and throw over some yogurt for a snack.
Move on from your weekend fanny, today's day 1 again.
I think I've had a decent week all thanks to 2 big pots of stew. Full of speed with an hex b to suck up the juice . I've got more doing now. Need to plan this week as dh is home and hell want wine o'clock before the weekend.
Good luck everyone. X
