Slimming World support #2 2017

[ALemonyPea]

Halfway through February already!

Welcome old and new, lots of support here, feel free to join in.

Superfoods salad (11syns with dressing, but I'm guessing I can ask for it on the side?) with chicken or salmon (free) is pretty much all I can have from pizza express then.

Glad I knew that in advance!

Thanks again mum

So slightly concerned I'm eating too much fruit and salad - is that possible. I always thought fruit should be kinda limited because of high sugar content.

Yesterday
B - overnight oats
L - subway salad, mixed fruit, 2 rice cakes
D - colourful couscous and prawns and salmon

Today
B - overnight oats
L - more colourful couscous with potato and egg salad, carrots and humous
D - pork chops - recipe from sw website .

Is this ok?

Sounds fine random... I tend to eat what you do, plus two snacks (one speed- one whatever) and then my syns on top of that too!

Sorry RacMactac I meant you, not random!

Fish and chips. Used my HE B to make breadcrumbs.

That looks lush Groovee.
I fell off the wagon spectacularly today... My friend, who I've not seen for ages so doesn't know about sw, brought quadruple layer salted caramel cake (home made) over today. It would've been rude not to...
There went ALL the syns for the week... D'oh.

I'm back (again..) on the thread, hope everyone's doing well? I'm half a stone down on my post-birth starting weight from mid Jan, but I don't get any awards as I'm not back to where I used to be before getting pregnant yet.

Time to start planning for the week ahead! I have about 5 HexAs for each day as I'm breastfeeding, no idea what to do with them! Wish it was HexBs as I love the new Caramel hifi lights!

Grundy, salted caramel is my favourite!

Welcome back Oriana x

Keep thinking of Lemony. Hoping she's back on the ward xx

Me too groovee I'm sure she's fine now tucked up in bed.

I think I have a serious addiction to mango the ready to eat stuff cut up in pots. I'm eating it every day and when tesco didn't have any earlier I had a mini meltdown. I can't get enough of it. Is this wrong??

lol I love mango x

It's got to be better than a chocolate addiction tho eh? I seriously crave the stuff. It's not cheap either!

B overnight oats with frozen tropical fruit
L quorn chilli
D beans on toast and 2 pears
S puft, kinder hippo

I've eaten pomegranate! Told Dh he needs to get me more tomorrow 😂

Look at me all sober on a Friday night! Feeling very virtuous indeed. I think other than the odd week of dry Jan it's the first time I've not had a drink on a Friday night in years. And I'm not even missing it.

I will get my stone award on Thursday and right now I'd rather have that then a glass of wine.

Also thinking of lemony and hoping she's as comfortable as can be.

I like pomegranate flavour, but can't get on with the actual fruit - never sure how to actually eat it.

I'd assume Lemony had her op and is too snoozy to reply! Otherwise I'm sure she'd update.

Welcome back oriana! Well done, I don't think I was in any frame of mind to think about what I was eating so soon after having DS so fair play to you for getting back on plan!

lemony hope all is well!

I'm so annoyed about pizza Express not having the 6.5 syn dish on the menu anymore. If I'd known I probably would have suggested Nando's instead but it's a bit late now without sounding like a diva!

Taking DS to the cafe this morning too so I'm planning on 1 toast (no butter), beans, poached eggs and mushrooms. Should only
need to count syns for oil used for mushrooms. I need 11 syns for dinner (superfoods salad) so the rest of the day needs to be free/speed foods only to stay on plan.

I really want that stone award on Monday.

Lemony has started a thread complaining she can't get toast in hospital
So I'm guessing she's feeling as well as can be expected!!!

I've just managed to catch up properly on this thread as I was squinting on a phone with a cracked screen while I was away!
PA I'm glad your grandson is doing better I missed your earlier post
Welcome to all the new people
Basin that lamb and chickpea curry looked amazing is it just called that? Will search for it later fancy curry tonight!

Youngest child is poorly he's been up since 2 and has just vomited on my bed.
He's now asleep (in my clean bed) with dp who's having a lie in as he's so tired after listening to me deal with ds all night
I feel like my eyes are in backwards!
I'm going to have a good day today (positive thinking!!) yesterday was a bit dodgy as I had ds in my arms for pretty much the whole day.

sham it's lamb and chickpea balti - from the curry club recipe book. Was really really really really nice.

Thanks basin will give it a try

Actually lemony just posted on the other thread and she is in a lot of pain

I have 2 meals out in next few days. Indian tonight and Chinese buffet place early next week. I can manage the Chinese but don't think I'm strong enough to not have naan bread tonight. It's my birthday week so I may just suck it up and expect a gain on Thursday. Will remain strict and syn free other days and work my butt off at the gym too to minimise damage...

First weigh-in for me today, and I've lost 7lbs! Wooohooo, delighted!
It's a drop in the bucket of what I need to lose, but it's a great start and it didn't feel like the struggle I was fearing.

I'm off to celebrate with a big breakfast of poached eggs, lean bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes!

Well done Fizzy! Enjoy your breakfast.
