Slimming World support Part 3

[calzone]

How exciting.....page 3 of our SW saga.

I am 38lbs down since we started.....how are you all doing?

maygirl......I plateaued for a while then decided to only eat speed fruit and vegetables for a week.

Salad
Citrus
Apples
Pears
Melon

I avoided grapes, mango, persimmon and figs. Chose tangerines and melon most days and lost 3.5lbs that week.
I avoided potatoes and pasta for a while using cauliflower rice or courgetti or Butternutsquetti and I didn't bloat at all.

Just a thought. :)

Thanks Calzone. Most of my meals are SP, nearly always have cauli rice/celariac and speed veg, but do sometimes have non speed fruit, and skip the HeB2 when I do that .Will try a week of all speed fruit veg and speed HeB choices though . Main problem I think is eating out at weekends, drinking more than 2 wines, feeling tipsy and forgetting about SW!

I think I need to try the pasta made out of vegetables.

Sounds really good and healthy

Welcome enjo

cal Philly cheese fries :

Make your s/w chips as normal then add onions, peppers, mushrooms and steak (receipe states use frying steak..I always use rump for the flavour) into frying pan. Add splash of balsamic vinegar, Worcester sauce, cayenne pepper and smoked paprika until fried off.

Slap it over the cooked chips, add your cheese and stick it under the grill under the cheese melts and ta da! Beautiful!

Today :

B - fruit

L - mugshot and yog

D - Big Mac and spicy chips

S - Cadbury snack might have 2

Thank you!

So today I have had

B - nothing (I never eat it)

L - beans on toast (small wholeness as a b choice)

D - home made chilli with extra lean mince and loads of veg

Syns - non (not for any reason other than I haven't fancied any)

If I don't use my Syns can I go over slightly on other days or is it set each day?

I am allergic to cows milk so not really sure what I about a choices

Enjolrass (great UN btw) you can use up to 60 syns in one day I believe if you save them up. I believe you can't have more than 8 syns on any other day in the week if you do that.

B - banana and satsumas
L - chicken, cheese on toast hexa and hexb, Pops 4 syns, cherry toms, apple, grapes
D - salmon with veg, muller light, 2 mini meringues 2 syns

Also tasted a few dishes cooking for tomorrow's big family do, about 3 syns probably.

Tomorrow's going to be a write-off I think

heyhey thank you. Completely les mis obsessed

I think I may try to do that this week. I am going out for drinks and dinner on Friday night. So will save some up for then.

Hopefully it won't damage my progress too much

Oh and the user name is because the guy who plays enjolras in the west end play has a nice ass so I put them together

Hahaha! I love it. And I love Les Mis

I have seen Les Mis 15 times at the theatre.....blummin love it. :)

B.....scrambled egg x3, smoked salmon, roasted vegetables, tomatoes

L.....none

D....saffron risotto, turkey meatballs, salad

HEB cereal, yoghurt, raspberries

B: eggs, beans, bacon, tomato
l: Curried parsnip soup, bread x 1
d: Steak, butter (2), new pots, salad, olives (2) pistachios (7) and 2 small glasses of wine (10). small piece of lemon cake (10)

SO about 30 syns today

I'm sooo over on Syns already this week I preplanned for our meal out last night and chose grilled veggie dishes (nothing with cheese and I love cheese) and they came swimming in oil. Couldn't believe it! It was also a rare night off from driving so the drinks didn't help

Today went well. Eggs and spinach with wholemeal toast and HeA cheese for breakfast. Almost declared there was nothing here for lunch but managed to find all the necessary ingredients for a Quorn chilli so had that with couscous (knocked up in the time it took DP to make a bacon sandwich!). Unplanned evening at friend's - I took crudités, some free dip, a free pasta salad and fancy potatoes. I did have a slice of pizza though as they got a veggie one in just for me driving again so no drink... I think it's 8 or 9 Syns for the pizza but I haven't totted up yesterday yet (and I was over on Thursday). I got some carrot and squash 'spaghetti' in the reduce bit in Tesco earlier do might try more SP meals. Can't do SP days as I've a metric tonne of that pasta salad left over.

Good morning

Does anyone know if Danish bread is still a healthy b, it was years ago but I can't find it, so assuming not.

Going shopping for a full slimming world stock up tomorrow!

Spent £100 at Lidl yesterday! Yikes!!

Bought loads of fruit and vegetables
Turkey mince
Turkey steaks
Beef steak (gonna make over it's cheesy chips)
Beef brisket

Had a good day yesterday and hoping to stay on track today.

B- eggs and fruit
L- Ryvita and light cheese spread and tomatoes
D- chicken and bacon risotto

Hi everyone

I've just joined slimming world online (bronze package) and I'm finding the everything a bit of a mindfuck. I've got a lot of weight to lose.

I had been hflc and followed the boot camp threads, but didnt manage to keep on plan, so ended up getting heavier.

I have got gut problems (which are being thoroughly investigated) so I thought I'd try a low carb low, fat diet for three months, and see how that went. It would be amazing to be able to get support here, as it's such a massive turnaround for me to suddenly eat low fat, and starting any new food regime feels a bit like learning a new language. I feel a bit lost and scared.

I'm getting married in October next year, and would like to shed around seven stone.

I am also embarking on an excercise plan. I'm currently doing short runs three to five times weekly, and am starting to do the dreaded shred next week, although I have to be very careful with excercise as I have eds.

Hi trash

I am finding it a bit confusing too. Although I did it a while ago, it's changed a lot.

I have been here just over a day and everyone has been lovely and helpful!

I remember those days enjol I don't think it is anymore. Hi trashcanjunkie, I tried low carb higher fat too without success.
B grapenuts and low fat yog, HeB.
Orange, few bits left over lamb, roast veg and mint yog dip
L sw chips with curry sauce made from leftover veg curry blended up with some mushy peas, to fulfil a craving! Tomatoes
Pear
D southern style chicken, buffalo sauce, beetroot and carrots 3.5syns
Small piece choc 3 syns 1 small wine 4.5 syns HeA milk in tea + coffee
Next week will be SP

Thanks mayi am sure I will get to grips with it...eventually.

B - none

L - bacon sandwich with wholemeal bread (HEB) and ketchup (syn)

D - meatballs (low fat mince) with a homemade tomato and garlic sauce, salad and halloumi (HEA and some Syns)

Snacks - 2 satsumas and melon

Syns - 9

It's been ok, but the halloumi was more Syns than I expected. So kind of messed up there, but had enough Syns left over so still within my limit.

On the plus side dh and dd have decided to do a healthy eating plan with me, so we will all be eating the same. Dd is positively excited at being able to have a bacon sandwich for breakfast!

Right: today's damage:

B - Apple
L - Vegan scramble while out (tofu, spinach, potato, red pepper, courgette), synning 6 for olive oil
D - biiiiig family meal. Pomegranate brisket about 3 syns for sauce; mashed spuds, sweet potatoes fries, green bean casserole hexa, prosecco 7 syns, cornbread with butter about 100 syns, cranberry punch a thousand syns, apple crisp with ice cream and then chocolates about a million syns

I really enjoyed it all and I actually ate and drank a TON less than I usually would have. Back on it tomorrow and see what the damage is on Tuesday I guess.

Welcome trash Any questions you have just ask and someone will be able to help you here.

Today

B - cheesy beans on wholemeal with spread

L - none

D - Spiced roast chicken with meg veg

S - Cadbury snack

Weight in tomorrow..nervous

Hi trash. A lady at my group just got her 7 stone award 11 months in - good luck!

Ok so I totted up the damage on Friday - guessed 3tbsps oil plus some bread I nearly forgot and drinks.... Came to 61 Syns. Eek! Having gone over on Thursday as well, a slice of pizza last night and a glass of wine tonight I'm now at 107 for the week so no more Syns until next Thursday!!

Today has been:
B - pasta salad
L - pasta salad and cheese HeA
D - Quorn roast, SW roast potatoes, carrots, swede, gravy (1 Syn), small glass of wine (6 Syns)

There is a lot of pasta salad! The recipe (SW website) said it serves 4, I had a portion last night plus I had it for two meals today, DP also had it for breakfast and lunch and my son had it for lunch and there's still about three meals worth left!!

Anyone with any questions, please ask.

My appetite is definitely reduced and I am not craving things like I used to.

B.....none

L....vegetable soup

D....Italian beef stew (4) mashed celeriac, peas and sprouts
Tangerine

What queen products would you all recommend to try?

I used to eat the sausages but not tried the other products

Queen or quorn? :)

All the quorn is good imho.

I like the nuggets, fillets, mince, chunks. Asda sell the meals which I might try.
