Slimming World Support 10, rolling into 2017

[ALemonyPea]

New thread, ending 2016 with some great losses and starting 2017 with new goals and new people.

Welcome everyone.

Congrats Lollipop

Thanks groove hope you're right

Bums I've gained 1 1/2lb. Not catastrophic I know but my first gain since I started. It is my first day of AF though so I'm putting most of it down to that. Also I weighed in 2 days earlier than normal because I can't get to my Wednesday group. Right, I won't let this derail me....I'm back on it already! Got loads of soup made to freeze and batch cooked bolognese and cottage pie so I've got easy nice food to grab!

Well done Lollipop. Nice start to the new year.

Emily hasn't been on for ages, she did say she was becoming a consultant in January, hope she has managed it, she was great on SW.

Right after major indulgence new years eve- food and wine only 4 syns for delicious pate this eve. Sugar detox day 2 done!

B: overnight oats
L: salmon, beans and sw roast veg
T: pate, toast, cheese, tomatoes and leftover veg from lunch!

(Bf so more healthy extras - hence low syn probably!!)

On plan all day here today with a long walk for exercise:

B: overnight oats
L: homemade veg soup with handful of pasta thrown in.
D: chicken, roasted veg, rice with harissa spices.

Milk in tea / coffee.

Syns: 20g Twirl bites, 5.

Snacks: satsuma, grapes and a yoghurt.

lollipop a loss straight after new year is very impressive!

Checking in for today...

HEA - milk for brews.
HEB - 2 wholemeal bread.

3 x syns sugar for brews.
2 satsumas.
About 2pm. SW breakfast, mushrooms, eggs, 2 wholemeal, bacon. I syn for marg, 1.5 syns for tomato sauce.
Dinner - salmon, broccoli, soy sauce, carrots, 2 slimming world potatoes.
1 chocolate digestive. 3 syns.

8.5 syns

We've been away for a few days, I have been good WRT alcohol, but bad WRT cheese and crisps. I have also realised that I have a fridge full of very tasty leftover cheeses and no one else is likely to eat them. Hmm.

Will be weighing in on Thursday morning and then heading for my next interim goal of another stone by the end of March.

Has anyone seen this month's Prima magazine BTW? Picked it up today and the cover featured Lisa Riley (Emmerdale / Strictly) who has lost an amazing 11 stone, what an inspiration!

No, I'm not at target.....😨😨

I couldn't maintain at all.

I got down to 11stone 3lb and I'm now 12 stone 2lb......

My target is 10stone 7lb.

I have ordered a beautiful dress in a size 10. I'm on it.

Just arrived at work. First day back! Left the car at the school and walked to work. I'm tracking my steps and aiming for 10,000. Poached eggs on toast and a brew. 1.5 syns. Off to weigh myself at lunch. HappyTuesday!

You are still 2st down though calzone right? You will get back there with your cauliflower sauce and quarmite etc

I bet maintaining is a right bastard.

5lb loss this week. I'm now 9st 13lb. I always lose a lot first week. I'm sure it will be slower from now on. But seeing the 9 had made me very happy.

Wow summerblonde that is impressive!

I had my first post-Christmas WI on Saturday and had gained 2 1/2 lb which I was ok with considering what I had been shovelling down my gob since 23 December! And that is only the 2 1/2 lb I lost that week when I thought the best I could hope for was a maintain. So all good there.

Except I just can't get back in the habit - I'm still grazing, though I have started thinking about SW main meals.

Maybe it will be better now I'm back at work and away from temptation. Another WI tonight - I think I will probably have gained even from Saturday (which was a morning WI rather than evening too). So tonight is the beginning of the new start. I mean it. Really.

Thanks alibong. I've done this before and maintained the next week - so I think it evens out! I think my body must have gone into shock with the millions of calories less.

I've been there, where I've so wanted to be in the zone, but my tea time I'm having a nice fattening tea! It's hard at times, but I think being in a routine massively helps. X

Lunch today is salmon, tomatoes, spring onion, rocket, gherkins and tablespoon of salad cream (1.5 syns).

Afternoon- blueberries, strawberries and activia yogurt.

I've got Chinese style turkey soup which is yummy.

Had muesli, berries and yoghurt for breakfast and fruit for snacks. Also got a muller yoghurt.

So should be ok at least until WI!

Chinese style turkey soup - sounds yum!

It is - I adapted it from an allrecipes recipe. Basically garlic, ginger, mushrooms, turkey stock, soy sauce and turkey leftovers. With a bit of cornflour to thicken which is probably synful but I made a huge pot so can't be too many per portion!

Just checked - 4 1/2 syns in the cornflour I used - but it made about 12 portions so I think I can live with that!

So tonight's the night we join!
Just got a really silly question! I am planning on signing up for the 12 week countdown so I know I have paid and that's it. Does anyone know if they take cards or will I need to get to a cash machine to get £50 out?

Alec4 - the group I used to go to took cards.

2.5 on, I'm not overly impressed, but can't do anything about that.

Got the go ahead for my hysterectomy 🤗🤗🤗 so want to be at target by that, with a bit of luck.

Most consultants will take cards Alec.

I've bought some M&S seafood stew for tea tonight, it's free, and I'm hoping it tastes good.

ALemonyPea glad to hear it, fingers crossed for your op!

Im making turkey meatloaf tonight, with mash & beetroot
Hubby was working from home today, telling me hes hungry every 30 mins, asking me what he can have and making me feel hungry with his food I think its just in hes head that hes dieting so hes hungry!

I was a bit stuck for SW snacks so i ordered:
Hartley's Strawberry Flavour Jelly ( Sugar Free )
Fibre One 90 Calorie Chocolate Fudge Brownies they were on offer for a £1 at ASDA they better be nice I got 5 boxes
Muller light toffe
Muller Light Limited Edition Coffee Shop Skinny Latte & Skinny Cappuccino
Light & Free Greek Style Fat Free
and ingredients to make syn free cheesecake so im hopingsome of these will be a hit with family

What are your favourite no/low syn snacks?

So far im on plan
B:oats with yogurt and fruit
L: omelette with leftover gammon, tomato soup (4 syns)
D: meatloaf,
snacks: banana, piece of chocolate (4 syns)

buzi for me last time it was more about either not snacking at all, or saving all 15 syns for something totally worth it.

Saying that, sweet and salty popcorn is quite good syn-wise.
