Slimming World support Part 3

Hello all , I have got all the stuff for slimming world but I can't make any meetings due to the times they are on . I do have a close friend who does it so I am hoping that is going to be enough ? My plan is to weigh in every Monday morning ( cliche I know , as is starting now ) and I have been reading some of your thread and out looks like you are all doing amazingly . fingers crossed I will do this !

All arse kicking welcome

Hi, Howlongtillbedtime. I weigh in on a Monday too so maybe we can post our loses (or gains) on here on a Monday so it feels like being a group.

Hello back in school and howlongtillbedtime I'm joining on Monday and would love to join a mini group posting weighin results on here if that's ok. I will need all the help I can get. Forgot to say on my thread congrats on your great loss to date backinschool .

I have been doing SW for a long time but my weight has steadily increased over the last year so I am re-starting. I am diabetic and having checked my blood sugars on Monday I have decided that I must give up all the sweet stuff I was having as syns and try to use my syns on other stuff.

I want to lose at least 2 stone by July as my daughter is getting married and I don't want to be fat for her wedding especially as her future mil is a size 8 - 10!

Excellent muffin and back , looking forward to Monday ( ish )

Likewise I think! Chat to you then 😃.

Today :

B - Coffee

L - boiled eggs, toast, Apple an banana

D - Chicken tikka (receipe from the s/m mag..never tried before) with rice salad

S - Cadbury snack

Well not full body but my face photos with 3 stone difference so it's helping me feel motivated. I am about half way to where I want to be.

I was not a huge vegetable fan and only ate some fruits but I found keeping an open mind and trying different recipes really helped and discovered a lot more I like now. I would never had eaten Peppers before and still wouldn't put them in a salad or anything like that but after putting them in the Diet Coke chicken recipe I couldn't taste them!

Some great advice given so far I think, staying to group really helps me and finding non food related treats when I have achieved my mini goals, breaking my targets down and learning how to move on past days that didn't go so well.

I'm so happening my 2.5lb loss over Christmas and new year. Sorry for being ever so slightly smug

Another good day to report here:
B: fruit salad
L: omelette and salad
D: bolognese with butternut squash spaghetti.

Had a mugshot earlier too. Kids and partner scoffing celebrations whilst watching Mrs Doubtfire after homework

Can't go out for my 4 mile walk tonight as I'm going to panto with the Brownies. Ah well. Make up for it later in the week hopefully

I've tried today to start before the group Tuesday night - I'm eating tangerines and bananas - I like apples and grapes and melon, I like peas and carrots, I can manage finely chopped onion but I don't like mushrooms, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes, or anything else - I can just manage sweet corn but dh doesn't, I also eat potatoes lol

I don't like fish either - but do like prawns and crab sticks - can eat white fish but usually with a crunchy cheesy topping I'm so gonna be rubbish at this!

Of course you won't wiggleem, you can make lots of healthy meals from the foods you eat. Lean meat, prawns, potatoes, pasta and rice with lots of carrots, peas and sweetcorn plus some fruit. Melon is great for snacking on and you may find that your tastes change as time goes on and you can eat more veg. Do you eat broccoli, finely diced peppers, lettuce???

Just done my 1st attempt at couch to 5k walk / run..think I might throw up!

Hop

Hoping to join you if ok - though planning to start in a week as moving house next week and need so it's leftovers and no food shopping until we are in!

Did SW online in October and lost 20lb, but have put 10lb back on with Christmas and house buying stress. And being a bit slack! Don't want to join up and pay again so planning to use this thread as recipe inspiration. Want to get those 10lb off again before I go back to work in February then lose another stone. 2016 will be the year I get some fitness back too!

Good food today

L- leek and potato soup and fruit

Syns- 2 sugar, 3 hi fi but now I'm going out and it's going to be a late one so I'm foreseeing lots of syns!

Both syn free recipes and tasty! The bolognese will be eaten on veg or veg spaghetti or pasta or jacket potatoes, and the Tom sauce goes well with chicken or pasta, or with veg spag and some Parmesan :)

Great pep talk ladies, thanks!

Sure running will get easier quickly Overit! I remember not being able to run for 1 minute when I started but can do long distances now and actually enjoy it! Going to start my training tomorrow for a local race in April, hoping extra running will help with speeding up weight loss.

Those who don't like veg, do you like soups? Its the main way I can get my veg disliking DS to eat reasonable amounts!

D-chicken madras and cauli rice fruit and Hifi

Mini curly wurly(4) mini milky bar Xmas thing (3.5)

Good day today. I'm really trying to keep myself busy in the evening rather than sitting in front of the tele it really stops me snacking.

Met a friend for coffee today- pleased that my cappuccino came in at 1.5 syns. But DH had a skinny hot choc- 11 syns, ouch!

He's sulking because I had enough syns for a tiny Green and Blacks chocolate bar this evening and he hasn't.

You all seem to be really good st this - your food intake seems so low though. I hope I haven't jumped the gun but I work full days weds thirs Friday so as my groups on a Tuesday night I have done a 7 day meal plan from slimming world online and an asda shop. I picked all recipes that said sin free so hopefully this won't be a waste on money as I had to buy a lot of herbs/spices/vegetables.

I was so hungry yesterday

B: beans and poached egg on 2 whole meal bread (large loaf though)

L/D tomato sausages with s/w chips and beans

Snacks 2 tangerines a toffee muller light and a banana

Today we're having sausage, beans, egg and toast for breakfast, s/w carrot and coriander soup for lunch - the lack of bread will be tough and s/w Cajun chicken and rice for dinner.

I've ordered some crab sticks as a snack and more muller light and fruit - it's gonna be another tough day

Wiggleem you shouldn't be hungry all day. I eat loads and lose 1-2lb a week, sometimes more. I could eat a bit less and maybe lose a bit more but I know I won't stick to it if I'm hungry. There's lots of free foods you can eat if you are hungry. Yesterday I had

B - 2 weetabix, milk, tsp sugar, fruit salad with mango, pineapple, grapes and melon.
L - SW sausages, bacon, poached eggs and grilled tomatoes and peppers
D - Turkey, mashed potato, asparagus, carrots and peas with gravy (3syns)
Snacks - apple, mullerlight, 2 chocolate fingers (3 syns), angel cake (5 syns)

The kids were baking with DP yesterday and made a huge Victoria sponge and biscuits. I have no idea how many syns are in a slice so I tried a mouthful of DDs cake then had an angel slice instead.
