Slimming World Support (5)

[KittyOShea]

Hope Calzone doesn't mind me starting the new thread- we've run out of room- eek!

Me new thing for this week has been cauliflower rice. Filling, doesn't taste too bad with strong flavours like chilli or curry but boy does it stink!

That chicken looks amazing!

Today I had

Breakfast
Ham and mushroom omelette free

Lunch
Turkey bacon sandwich made with 2 slices of no crusts bread (2/3 he) and lurpack lightest 2 Syns
Pineapple
Satsuma

Dinner
Chicken and chorizo casserole with sweetcorn, tomatoes, onion, chickpeas and mushrooms served with cous cous 5.5 Syns

Snacks
Slice of no crusts bread 'pizza toast' (last 1/3 of he b) with tomato puree, cheese (he a) and mixed herbs free
One boost bite 1 syn

8.5 Syns for the day.

Boozy afternoon tea tomorrow, dreading counting the Syns for that!

Ooh can you share that kfc chicken recipe? Looks lovely!

Ooh enjoy your afternoon tea, Helen!

Twinkle - sure! I use this one:

fatgirlskinny.net/syn-free-kfc-style-chicken-fakeaway-slimming-world-recipe/

For my coleslaw, though, I just use a bag of coleslaw mix from Asda and mix it with fat free natural yoghurt and lemon juice...

Morning all. What a briiliant idea for coleslaw Emily. Mayonnaise doesn't agree with me so I have avoided coleslaw for years, but had never thought of making it with natural yogurt. Guess what I will be having today

Lost another pound this week, so 8lbs in 4 weeks. Slower than some but I am really chuffed.

Well done rupe!
Em that chicken looked so good I will be trying that!

Well I was a bloody angel last night when I went out for dinner, I had no starter, steak, salad (no dressing) and a naked baked potato! I had a teaspoon of dds chocolate fudge cake which wasn't actually very nice!
Today is dds party and we (and five 11 year olds) are going to pizza express. I really love their pizzas so it's like torture but I'm have a chicken pasta thing which has 6 syns. Then the girls are having a sleepover so lots of chocolate and crisps about!!

Well done Rupeo - nice steady losses! And the coleslaw really does work. Feels nice and light and not overly creamy - I don't put that much yoghurt in, just enough to coat.

Butt, I'm amazed at your restraint!! And in a way I guess that it's good that choc cake wasn't very nice...I'm like that with takeaway pizza now, over indulged a few weeks back on a treat night and felt so ill the next day, it's really put me off!

Well done Rupe.

I think I'll try coleslaw mid week. Looks lovely.

Lovely and sunny here today, think I'll drag DC out for a walk

B:Ryvita with philli and ham (hexa+b), fruit
D: prawn salad
T: SW salt and chilli chicken, with brown rice. My friends make this and looks delicious.

Going to try not have any syns today as christening tomorrow.

EmilyK, that looks so satisfying! 3lb off for me this morning, got my half stone award and 9.5lb off in total. Very pleased. I did stay to the meeting but she kept mispronouncing my name and also everyone was chatting amongst themselves when consultant was talking which annoyed me! I am finding this thread very useful, thank you all!

Well done Mam, that's brilliant!!

Yeah the talking in group annoys me too - just think it's really rude, especially when it happens when the person the consultant's talking to is upset about a gain or maintain!

Wow great losses today!
Lemony Calzone invented a speed white sauce using cauliflower!

Boil cauliflower in veg stock, til soft. Drain it but keep the stock. Blitz with a handblender til smooth adding the stock as you go. You end up with a jug of sauce which you can add cheese to. We use this now for lasagne and macaroni cheese .

Off for lovely weekend staying with huge group of friends and all our DCs, we are all taking turns to cook, so will be off plan from tonight . It's also my birthday over the weekend . Soup next week sounds like a good idea to undo the damage! In my slim days I always ate soup for lunch 😄

1 lb off today, got my 3 stone award and reached my final target!! So pleased, have been nearly there for ages but couldn't quite get there! It's my birthday on the 11th so I can enjoy a meal out without worrying too much.

Inspired by the burrito bowls, just had a burger bowl - big bowl of salad leaves, red pepper and tomatoes chopped up, two sliced Quorn burgers on top, then finished off with chopped gherkins, a teaspoon of chilli relish and some grated cheese.

It was lush. Would have been even better with some jalapeños.

Well done mam and congratulations Chessie on reaching goal.

My aim at the minute is to get my 10%

Will give the cheese sauce a go, sounds lovely.

Well done Chessie, that's brilliant!!

Just been and done the week's food shopping, so this is today...

B - a skinny latte (HexA) (oops)

L - smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, toast (HexB)

D - seafood jalfrezi, rice, poppadums (2 Syns each), pickles (need to check syns). Might make a dal too, not decided yet...

Chocolate froyo for post-dinner synnage...

Afternoon every one! That's fantastic Chessie, I bet you are chuffed to bits with that. I would be!

Will try the cauliflower sauce one day next week. We usually have steak night at the weekend so will add peppercorns to make a pepper sauce.

Haven't eaten yet today. Will make up for the curry last night. Tea is salmon, new potatoes and salad. Syns will be a bit of coleslaw on the salad, a g and t and maybe another g and t. HeA in drinks and heb I haven't decided yet. Might have a slice of bread with my tea.

Had bread with lunch as my HexB. First time I've had bread in a while. Definitely wasn't worth it, and now I'm sulking!

Well done Chessie

Well...I came on yesterday (which explains the tears over the bloody lack of fish-and-chips on Thursday, FFS, I've been having periods for over 25 years now, you'd think I'd learn to recognise the symptoms ) - five days early (boo hiss).

Yesterday's food:

Breakfast: Breakfast muffins
Lunch: Tuna pasta salad, lemon drizzle cake (2 syns), apple, pear, satsumas
Dinner: Cottage pie, carrots, broccoli
Snack: Box M&S mini lemon meringues (7 syns), hifi bars (6 syns)
HEA: Milk
HEB: Hifi bars

Today's food:

Breakfast: Bacon, eggs, beans, mushrooms, tomato
Lunch: SW soup (carrot & coriander)
Dinner: Steak, jacket potato, corn, mushrooms, salad
HEA: Milk
HEB: Hifi bars

Dinner - seafood jalfrezi, rice and 6 syns of mini chicken tikka samosas!

I may have spent another 2 syns on a poppadum too...

Gah my halo has slipped!!

Was all good at pizza express chicken pasta thingy with no cheese so I reckon 4 syns (6 with cheese) sparkling water, no pudding and a n americano.
Then got home and to "reward" myself I fell snout first into a box of rocky road. In my defence period is due any second....

just eaten a kind of mousse thing from M and S......quite nice. OMG its full of cream and a zillion syns.

Oh. My. God. This stuff is AMAZING! Perfect for a chocolate fix...and only 15 syns for the whole tub! I was restrained and had 1/5 of it for 3 syns...

This is great for tips- so glad I joined. Need to get myself some of that EmilyK!
I'm struggling to day with not having fat. I have managed to stick with it, but yoghurt mixed with eggs as a lasagne sauce didn't go down well with anyone for dinner! There was a revolt amongst my boys.
Am also due my period so am starving and eating every bit of fruit in sight.
Well done Chessie- I dream of that day. Only two stone to go

Peachy , you must try the cauliflower sauce for lasagne. Yoghurt and eggs won't cut it here either.

Well yesterday was a write off. Afternoon tea, cocktails and shots!

Back on it today!

Happy May everyone. Just reviewing my April goals and setting my May ones.

30 day shred - managed 20 days in April, will try and better this for May
Weight loss - 4lb - disappointed by this, I was hoping my first month at SW would be more impressive but then I've not stuck to plan and have hoped for miracles. Trying to decide what to set as a goal for May. Definitely aiming for my half stone award but wondering if I should aim for more. Maybe half a stone but that is going to be a lot of work and I'm not sure I'm cut out for that. Hmmm.

Food yesterday:
B - carrot & weetabix muffins with quark topping & raspberries - cake for breakfast is a winner!
L - boiled egg, ryvita, cheese, salad
D - Diet Coke chicken, frozen milky bar dessert & strawberries (4.5 syns)

All was looking good until wine & my body weight in chocolate happened

Today's plan
B - hifi bar
L - rice salad, fruit
D - pork, veg, apple pie & custard
