Slimming World Support 2016.....Come and join us!

[calzone]

A brand new thread for 2016.....:)

For old and new members alike....please join in and post food plans, meal ideas, how you use syns, weight losses and gains, how you feel.

I started exactly a year ago on 4 January 2015.
I weighed 14st 3lbs and was a size 16. Bloated and uncomfortable, I was mortified when I saw the scales.
In week 1, I lost 9lbs which has motivated me ever since.
I currently weigh 11st 3.5lbs and just missed my 3 stone certificate at Xmas. Put on 2lbs last week and not really expecting a loss this week but I want to get to 11 stone and then re set my target to 10 stone 7lbs.

I have gone down to a comfortable size 12 and even wore a size 10 Fat Face dress yesterday.

So, let's do this.

I feel quite excited. SW has definitely changed my life......:)

I'm weighing in later I'm hoping to have lost as the last few days I've been 100% on plan.

I've made a hotpot with pickled red cabbage to have when I've weighed, the kids have just got back from school and all wanted to know what the yummy smell was so now I've got to sharewas planning on giving them pasta and freezing the left over hotpot!!

It's really hard sticking to it when you've got little ones, if one of mine has had a bad night I really struggle to avoid the chocolate the next day. I've got four dc who are 10,5,2 and 1 and I find they definitely eat better now I'm doing slimming world but we get through mountains of fruit!!!

Has anyone else noticed they just feel better doing SW? Eating much healthier I've noticed that I don't fall asleep on the sofa anymore. I was awake at 11pm last night which is practically unheard of!

I am also getting out of bed a lot easier.

I know I've only been doing this for a week and a half but this is the first 'diet' that I feel like I could stick to. I don't feel hungry all the time and I'm not fantasising about food at all. I'm looking forward to my next healthy meal and planning more!

Agreed, Buttwing. without wanting to sound too advertorial, it isn't really a diet to my mind - just healthy eating. I'm eating better than I have for years. 7/8 portions of veg and fruit a day easily. My skin is brilliant and I'm not falling asleep on the sofa in the evenings. I still find it difficult to have an 'off switch' when it comes to chocolates, but having seen a few weeks' worth of results now, I've (mostly!) got the motivation to control myself, although it has to be a conscious effort.

sorry, that was to Basin

I feel so much better, but that is partly because I'm a lot lighter than I was! I'm a lot fitter and have way more energy, but I'm also sleeping much better at night (I don't have any DC though). I'm now doing 2 exercise classes a week (I hadn't really done any exercise since I left school 10 years ago) and I don't really ache at all the next day.

Enjoy your date night Bendy, just being out for dinner will be lovely no matter what you choose to eat. Hope the plateau ends this week and you start losing again

I lost 3 1/2lb this week so very pleased as was badly off plan at the weekend. Loving all the recipes here so thank you. Going to go to the gym in a bit as need to keep up the momentum!

Well done oneowlgirl !
I'm on SW day 5. I've noticed a difference this week, my car ! It's cleaner , it's not full of crumbs and wrappers of sandwiches, crisps and other snacks, so I must be eating better!! I was a sucker from going to the shop before / after work and scoffing junk in the car.

B: 2 toast, 1 blue cheese laughing cow, (1.5) ham, eggs, tomato, rocket salad.
l: SUshi (4.5). FF yoghurt
D: Chicken tagine (2) with rice and pomegranate. Yoghurt.

Have a lovely date night Bendy

It's cold and miserable and for the first time since starting (2 Jan) I've felt like something naughty and comforting!!!

but I have stuck to the plan

D: pasta with tomato / veg sauce and green salad, parmesan (3 syns)
(1/2 syn dressing)

made some thin pancakes with egg, milk (he a) flour

(4 syns for the pancakes)

Ate the pancakes hot with lemon juice and sweetener, they were fab yummy.I will have the rest (4 syns) tomorrow and use them like wraps with a savoury filling.

10 1/2 syns for the day, I'm happy with that seeing as I was ready to eat anything and everything at lunchtime!

Feeling a bit cross with myself. Have just finished a huge dinner of baked ham stir fried onion, courgette peppers mixed into cooked rice and a portion of curly kale and a spoonful of red cabbage and apple!!!! How did I manage to eat so much/ get it on the plate!!!!

I know the feeling mutley- just did homemade kebabs, homemade pilaf and a ton of salad plus a garlic/yoghurt/mint sauce...ashamed to say I ate the whole of this plate... :-/

Inspire me people. I'm stuck in a rut. 1 lb on this week but I am hormonal, I had a rubbish weekend of eating crap and I ate dinner before Weigh in as I was hungry and knew it'd take ages due to all the new people. Next week should be good though - not working which is where I succumb usually, and hopefully lots of time to exercise. I want to find some new foods to get excited about so looking for recommendations. I feel like I live on muller light, eggs, & ham, and lentils. I would love recommendations for other low syn yoghurts, low syn sausages, great recipes... I eat pretty much everything so suggest away....

What sort of thing do you put in jacket potato I know beans or light mayo but do you just have to get used to it being really dry and not half pound butter on it?
