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.

6lb is great Oriana, especially since you've had Christmas as well. You've just had a baby! Don't feel bad about anything!

Hi everyone

I went to my first SW group meeting on Tuesday and had my first weigh in (11st 13.5lbs) and I'm aiming to get to 10st initially. I was between 8 and 9st until I hit 35 and started IVF treatment and just piled it on after that! I'm now almost 45 and have a 6 year old DD and a 5 month old DS and I am determined to get back to a healthy weight.

Still a bit unsure about how best to follow the plan but I'm sure that will come with time. My consultant called today to let me know that as I'm bfing I need to have more Healthy Extra's so I'm planning to finish off the Christmas cheeseboard later

Thanks Buzi!

Are the stalks a bit of an issue then? Sigh. Wish I had bought spinich instead now. I trust spinich.

It's a bag from aldi so will cook a bit for serving with my stew and if I don't like it I have 2 greedy guinea pigs that will enjoy it

I got the super 6 kale too

I was going to use mine raw like rocket! Good job you said... I think I'll stir fry it maybe, or bake it and have it with jacket potato and some fish!

Just had to share this photo. One of my old consultants (my consultant left and we had tonnes come to cover) had a lb of fat she took with her to class.

I remember last time I felt disappointed that people who started with me had gained their first awards etc way before me. But then my losses became bigger and then slowed again so I was at the same point as them. But it did feel a bit let down.

Have made turkey burgers with garlic and red onion. Soup is in the slow cooker. Wedges are ready to par boil. Then I have sat with the website, looked up recipes, done a menu planner and also a shopping list. Feeling quite accomplished.

Fifi make sure you tell the consultant about the diabetes. Mine asked if any of us were diabetic yesterday before she started the new member talk x

Dd made jammy biscuits in food tech today and has bought them home for us. She is so excited about food tech, she's in year 7 so it's all new. I didn't have the heart to say no so I had a bite of one and fed the rest to the dog when she wasn't looking!

Groovee I love that so true!

Oh Butt! I'm glad my 2 no longer do home economics. I would have felt the need to have one x

Oooh just having a browse on the Asda website and they're introducing their new 'slimzone' range which is "free to enjoy on the slimming world extra easy plan"

Assuming these are a new version of icelands meals? Some good things on there- a bit pricy at £2.50 but sausages and ready meals which could be easy to grab for free

Signing in. Just started this week. So far so good! Well done everyone on your loses etc, hopefully I can join the healthy clan on this diet.

@TheImprobableGirl the asda range is very controversial as not endorsed by sw and may not all be syn free!

Am determined to get a good loss this week so sticking to plan

B: overnight oats and raspberries
L: 7 speed veg soup and 1 slice bread
D: SW butternut squash and chicken curry with rice

Snacks: apple, orange, cheese with 1 water biscuit and hifi bar

Lost a pound. I gained 1.5 over Christmas so still 0.5 over where I was on 22nd Dec. Next week...

My good friend has put on 6.5lbs but her butt is going into gear right now!

WI in this morning, 1.3kg up on my previous low which was mid December, have been doing intermittent weighings over the holiday and it has been fluctuating a bit. Today's the first day I have really stuck to plan.

I also bought Kale in the Aldi fruit and veg offer. After reading all the comments from earlier today I thought I would give it a go for tea tonight. Now I eat EVERYTHING (apart from baked beans). I was quite excited to try this new delicacy. I can tell you all the ONLY way to use this.......use it as exercise to walk to the bin- put in and walk back to the sofa!!! It is vile!!!

Oh no PA, that bad pmsl. Mine is simmering in the bottom of the veg pan squished down with a bag of slightly (3 days!) out of date m and s chefs vegetables.

Good job I have guinea pigs. There is still a load left so they can have it tomorrow if I don't like it. I like all veg I think so am still hopeful.

But it smells very green as it's cooking. I do like spinich tho so hope it's similar tasting.

Another one here who will eat anything, but even I couldn't eat kale when I cooked it to try.
I predict that Frouby's guinea pigs will be having a kale supper tonight.

Normally I'll try something despite poor reviews... but on this occasion I won't be trying kale...

Finished today - lamb curry 10% less fat,100 grams is 2.5 syns (I think), peas, fri light instead of butter, peas, onions, Schwartz Biryani spice mix, (sachet is 4.5 syns but only had a small bit so 1 syn), tinned tomatoes, rice.

11 1/2 syns

It was ok. Bit green tasting but it cooked down to not very much and was mixed in with other stuff. Probably be ok in soup or perhaps a bit in a stir fry.

It tastes a bit like spinich I think. Sort of a cross between spinich and parsley.

My piggies can have the rest pmsl. It's curry night tomorrow and I wont be spoiling my chicken saag with a big fat side of leaves!

Hello I'm new to this thread but just found it and need some support! Feeling heavy after two weeks off and I'm sure I've put on a few pounds over Christmas. The thing is I really can't be bothered at the moment as I've been ill and it's sooo cold ! Want to eat stodgy food! Please help!
Have had 9.5 syns today really want a coop fish cake that's looking at me in the fridge.....

northerngirl, if you really want the fishcake, eat it and enjoy it: just count the syns and stay in control.

Danny it's in the oven . I'll weigh in tomorrow and then start afresh . Mustn't beat my self up I'm only just out of target !

Welcome to the thread newbies.

Thrilled I've managed a day chocolate and biscuit free. Only had 1.5 syns today, but think I need to tread lightly anyway for the next few days anyway.

I have eaten all the food.... I mean technically I'm still on plan but there is physically no way I should feel this full. Can somebody just cast a quick eye over today's and see if I'm ok?

Water: 2.5 litres, 4 cups tea (one sweetener in each) and a can Diet Coke
HeA: half milk, half babybel light
HeB: one wholemeal roll

B- egg white omelette, with half a red pepper, one piece of ham and two tomatoes

S- Mango and BBQ hula hoops

L- 1/3 pack Thai veg, 1/3 pack dried noodles. Satsuma

S- baked beans snap pot, one piece pastrami, cooked veg that kids left

D- TWO skinny burgers (on date today) both in wholemeal buns, with tomato, fried onions, cucumber and babybel slices, some skinny sw chips with Cajun spice (approx 1 potato worth) and a third of my plate salad with spinach, rocket and half a yellow pepper.

Obviously won't be listing exact portion sizes each day but how far (apart from the extra burger) am I going wrong?

Syns finished on 14- 7 for hula hoops, 6 for roll and 1 for Thai veg
