My slimming world journey

[Lou13e]

Hello everyone, bit of a self indulgent post as this was is all about.. Me! I'm going to use this to ramble away and document my journey, would love some friends to join me so say hi if you're reading.

About me - I'm in my early 30s, have previously lost 6 stone, put 2 back on (oops) and want to lose about 4 stone to get to target. My partner and I are also trying for a baby so the weight loss journey may have an all mighty drop of about 8lbs one week! I'm a police officer and work shifts so be prepared for middle of the night updates and odd breakfasts!

Saturday
35g porridge and melon (b)
Savoury rice, ham and salad
2 x yogurts
Pork kebabs, jacket potato and salad

Syns: mayonnaise 4, tbc

Good luck on your journey! I have started an Instagram account for similar reasons hoping it will keep me focused.

Thanks Sirzy, I haven't got a clue how Instagram works, but like the idea of taking pics of my food, no cheating that way :-)

I have about the same as you to lose and would love to have someone to share stuff with I have lost 4lbs so far and next weigh in Monday! Are you going to group or doing it solo? X

Yay another friend - welcome onedayverysoon great first weeks loss! I'm going to group but because of my shifts I'll be changing days most weeks. How are you finding it? X

Sunday - day off

S: ate some icing off some wedding cake whilst waiting for kettle to boil!!! 4 syns?
B: melon and yogurt
L: chicken, mushrooms, peppers, onions, rice and salsa (1 syn)
D: linguine, mussels, tomatoes, garlic, fresh parsley and salad for speed

Happy Sunday x

Hey! Nice menu ...
I'm about to go to a pub for lunch and am worried as I struggled in one yesterday because even though healthy food was dripping in olive oil :/ .... !

Hope you've had a nice Sunday! Managed to eat a jacket potato at the pub! Here is my diary today :)

Superspeed:

Nectarine
Apple
Side salad - no dressing
Stir fry veg
Courgette
Melon pieces
Strawberries

Free:

Jacket potato
Mixed beans in tomato sauce
Wholemeal noodles
Soy sauce
Quorn chicken pieces

HexA: 250 ml milk

HexB: 40g low sugar muesli

syns:

1/2 tbsp light mayo : 1
1 slice malt loaf : 3
1 tsp butter : 2

Looking great one day :-)

My lunch veered off track slightly and ended up going for a blooming long walk up a hill, so had two poached eggs on 1 slice of toast and had some beetroot as I was waiting to bulk up my speed food. Can't wait for mussels later! X

Monday morning is here and I'm sat in bed with a coffee, am on late shift today. Didn't end up with my mussels and linguine last night as we were both too tired to cook. More effort required today!

B: melon, Apple, ff natural yogurt

L: chicken tikka salad with 2 tsp of mango chutney (syns tbc)

D: chicken stir fry with noodles and loads of veg (1 syn for cornflour)

Ah well - the muscles are something to look forward to another day! What do you do if you are too tired to cook? That is often my downfall!

Lost 1.5lbs today so 5.5 overall

Going on holiday tomorrow so a bit worried!

Menu looks good :)

Whoop - well done on the loss, that's great. I couldn't be bothered to cook last night so chucked a spud in microwave for 5, chopped it into wedges then put in oven so had a nice bowl of syn free potato wedges. No speed but could have been worse x

Good idea!

Have a fab holiday oneday, make sure you come back and say hello when you return.

So - Tuesday.. Weighing in on Thursday because of shifts (2 days early)
B: none as got up late
L: gammon, vegetable rice and beetroot followed by melon and strawberries
S: fruit
D: home made chicken noodles (1 syn)
S: French fries

Need to fit in a b somewhere too, haven't got any cereal bars so may take some dry cereal to nibble on x

Hi All! Nice to be back, i fell off the wagon (had op on leg) but trying to be good now :) am going to try and do it myself though instead of going back to club. Anyway, just thought I'd say hello :) will start with food Diary tomorrow. Am working over weekend, lates, so will get on here when i can.

Hi kimbles, yay welcome back - can't wait to see some more food diaries (I pinch ideas) hehe.

Well I weighed in yesterday, 1/2lb off but it's in the right direction so I'm not disappointed. Just need to stick at it, have got a wedding to go to at Christmas and I want to have lost 3 stone by then.. Fingers very much crossed!

L: savoury rice and salad
