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.

Well done faith that's a brilliant loss, well done.

Awesome Faith, well done.

Well done Faith!

Well done Faith ! Some delicious looking food on this thread today, I am very proud of my totally on plan day with no wine (we will gloss over the weekend which was, erm, not so good).

I find it much easier when DH is away with work as I am unlikely to have wine on my own and can eat exactly what I like! Tonight was spicy prawn chow mein.

Tomorrow and the rest of the week frankly will be trickier as it's my daughters birthday. She will be 20! But has significant special needs and really won't understand if I don't eat her celebratory food (Dominos and a meal out on Friday). So I'm just going to make good choices the rest of the time and try to minimise the damage!

Hope everyone has a happy Tuesday.

2 3/4lb this week. Quite pleased as I had a buffet lunch on Saturday (syns disaster) and wasn't much better on Sunday,

Thanks for the first week everyone. I've found lots of help on this board.

WI tomorrow. Pretty good week.....up until the weekend when it all went tits up! Spent the weekend with my sister and there was much food and booze partaken! We'll see what the damage is tomorrow. Today has been totally on plan (too little, too late methinks!) Tomorrow I'm planning on an SP day or whatever they're called. You know know free, only S and P stuff.

No free, not know free!!

Weigh in tonight. Working this afternoon, so will prep tea for tonight and do a nice brunch to get me through the afternoon.

Well done on the losses everyone. Have a great day!

Yes £3 is quite a lot for a meal from Iceland but a lot cheaper than a takeaway!

owl tastes nothing like a takeaway tho! better off making your own or using 6-9 syns on chicken and mushroom or chicken in oyster sauce with boid rice from chinese.

Working in an hour. So turkey rashers with beans and SW chips with mushrooms and spinach for speed. Hoping it keeps me full til home time x

Looks good Groovee

I need to get SW chips on the menu soon.

Anyone got an airfryer/actifry? Is it worth it for chips? I know if would make them synned with the oils but only a few syns?

I bloody luffs my actifry. It is the BEST THING ever. I use oil (1/2 tbsp for 750 grams of potato aka two fat bastard portions) so it works out at 1.5 syns for chips that taste like proper chips used to taste. (I got mine for £99 from Groupon)

Well I managed to stay on plan yesterday and am hoping for the same today, having an SP day.

B: Porridge and berries
L: Carrot & coriander soup, Iceland meatballs x 4, apple, pear, satsuma
D: Salmon fillet, roasted mushrooms, peppers, onion, courgette
HEA: Milk
HEB: Porridge, hifi bars
Syns: Extra milk (as I've had porridge and my usual vat of tea!)

Just back from my first weeks weigh in and I've lost 4lbs so I'm really pleased with that

Bought some hifi bars to try and the fakeaway book too, just hope I can keep the losses going as someone I was talking to said that the second week is usually harder than the first and lots of people don't lose anything that week?!?

I use Frylight in the Actifry instead of oil, so the chips are free.

Well done dave that's brilliant.

Yeah that seemed to happen to me. I lost 5lb in my first week and the 1lb on my second week, everyone is different though. So keep positive. Well done! bask in the glory of a 4lb weight loss this week.

So far today....Day 15. 6lb loss so far.

HEXA 250ml semi skimmed milk.
HEXB 2 x 400g wholemeal bread.

B - 2 poached eggs on toast. 1 syn for marg. 0.5 for sugar in brew.

S - 2 Satsumas and a muller light yogurt. Luscious lemon flavour

L - Baked cannelloni -1 syn. Salad with rocket, tomatoes, cottage cheese, spring onion. Salad cream 1.5 syns.

4 syns so far...

Today's food plan:
B: oatso simple porridge with 170ml 1% milk (HEXA, with rest being used for tea), 1tsp sugar (1syn), pear

L: leftover butt casserole (counting 2 syns) pots and cabbage, satsuma

Snack: half curly wurly (3 syns), banana

Dinner: SW falafel, dry roasted sweet potatoes, lettuce, cucumber, carrot. May syn some light mayo to go with it.

Basin-left over butt casserole does not sound the most appetising I'm glad you liked it!

After a rubbish day yesterday where I ate a ridiculous amount of chocolate I've had a good day so far.

L-chicken and bacon salad
D-chicken, baked potato and veg

Was bloody gorgeous butt, I ended up using breast and cooking in the slow cooker instead of oven though due to shopping balls up and chaotic day!

I'm also really enjoying the app today. Is making life so much easier!

Checking in quickly before I leave to get DS from school
Have been on plan had 9 syns (1/2 avocado in salad and hi fi for pudding)
today is going well so far also altho im feeling stressed fancy chocolates as have been waiting for this frustating woman to let me know when our new house will be finished, she was supposed to let us know yesterday, following her meeting but no..i waited all afternoon checking my phone and email every 5 minutes no phone-call, doesnt answer her phone, doesnt respond to emails
I'm not happy just left in the limbo, landlord, school, new school applications and moving company waiting for me....
so yes deffo in snacking mood im trying to keep myself busy God help me

Half a bastard lb on. Honestly don't know what the bells going on. Don't think it's food related, possibly hormonal. Plodding on though as don't want to give up.

I have PCOS which makes my body cling on to every last sugary carb, so going to cut back on all sweet things, no chocolate for me.

Got an appointment today for my anaesthetic appointment for the end of the month and I want my 6 stone award for then. 4.5lbs to get there. Hoping the gym will give me a boost.

Well done on everyone's losses, it's great when you have a loss.

B: 2 hifi bars and a satsuma at group
D: quiche and salad
T: pasta bolognese, or maybe bolognese with potatoes as have some left over from last night
S: pufts 3.5, salad cream 1.5, 0.5 quark in quiche so 5.5 so far, might have another packet of pufts later

Mushy pea curry is on the menu for tonight, bunged in bits of leftover fresh veg, mushy peas, kidney beans, and quorn pieces. I don't even like mushy peas! When I had it made for me it included mushrooms and celery but I don't like mushrooms and I can't be arsed faffing around with celery.

Weigh in tomorrow, so of course I've been hungry all day but I am resisting because I've been shit enough this week already

Ah Lemony I feel your pain. It's so frustrating and your food plans always look fabulous.

Maybe try to completly swap your food around? So new recipes, new a and b choices and new syns. Might confuse your metabolism a bit. Enough to drop a little. You might have flat lined a little but you have done so well. Don't get down about it. Maybe tell yourself you are happy with maintaining until after your op. Am sure that will help a little anyway.

Well done on the losses everyone. My wi tomorrow.

My December gain of 9lb has obviously been flagged up by my consultant. For the first time since I joined back in may she has sent me a keep going! txt lol.

Todays plan

B. Coffee
L. Hm veg soup with a smidge of grated cheese on top. Really makes it a treat rather than a chore.
T. Shepherds pie, fuckton of veg.

Syns in pie for gravy and butter in mash, not many though. Probably 2. B choice will be hifi or museili and ff yog and fruit. A choice in coffees. Might have a bit of dark chocolate later.
