Slimming World support #2 2017

[ALemonyPea]

Halfway through February already!

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

That's a great idea em. Well done other losers too. Sorry you are feeling rough lemony.

Weigh in for me tonight. Had a good loss last week so could cope with a small loss this week. Had some wine Saturday and ate a bit too much at the weekend even though it was all free, so we shall see.

1/2 lb off would get me into officially not over weight (bmi wise) so that would be nice.

Hello can I join? I feel like I'm really getting to grips with things now and getting along quite nicely on plan. I'm hoping to lose 2lb this week to get my half stone award so meal planning is the order of the day. Had a gorgeous salad for lunch from Asda - spicy chicken and mango salad with pumpkin seeds, only 2.5 syns for the lot (which is the same as a yorkshire pudding and a lot more filling too!) having burgers for tea (being lazy and having salt and pepper tesco burgers, which are 2.5 syns so a win again) with lots of salad

Hi everyone. Think I'm sticking to plan BUT I weighed myself Friday and I was 11 5.5. Weighed myself today and I am 11 6.3. Bloody annoying and demoralising.

I know I shouldn't weigh everyday but I just can't help it.

Hello all

Well done on the losses everyone. I have put a holiday in for this week as its half term here and I really cba to drag ds along.

Had a lovely chicken salad for lunch. Tea is roasted veg pasta and probably a bit of gammon. Syns am not sure on yet and b choice will be either museli and yog later or hifi bars.

After a very slow start to 2017 I am determined to make a dint in the 2st I neeed to lose by august.

Welcome 1995 :)

Hi everyone

1.5 off for me this week so a total of 14lbs and a shiny sticker

This week will be a tricky one as it's half term here and we are visiting family now until Thursday (and going out for afternoon tea tomorrow!) and then spending the weekend at Warwick Castle so I am fully expecting a gain next weigh in

Good luck those weighing in tonight. Mine turn in the morning racmactac I weighed in early one week on my mum's scales ( I don't own any) & I had gained 3lb. When I went to group a few days later I lost 2! Makes no sense.
Today's menu:
B yogurt and grapes
D jacket potato with cheese (hexA)
T stir fry chicken with loads of speed (photo)
no syns used yet but when I finally sit down tonight I shall no doubt indulge!

My not mine!

Good luck for weigh in!

I'm going to my first meeting tonight. I'm a bit scared!

@Blueemeraldagain don't be scared. Everyone who goes to SW has the same goal, and you'll be made very welcome. This time next week you'll be so glad you did this!

Welcome to the thread.

You'll be fine Blueemerald, let us know how you get on!

Blueemerald I'm sure you'll have a good time, if it's anything like my group you'll laugh and laugh! Good luck

Thanks everyone. My head knows you're right, just wish my heart agreed.

I'll keep you updated!

I think we should do a virtual SW Come Dine With Me and take it in turns to host a dinner party full of completely free foods so we can get wasted have our syns in alcohol.

Here's my menu:

Starter
Chinese chicken and lettuce wraps
Main
Aromatic lamb navarin
Dessert
Cardamom and vanilla panacottas

Ooh good idea em

starter
Grilled seabass (just a little fillet) on a bed of curly kale

main
Hungarian goulash with quark dauphinoise potatoes and minted green vegetables.

dessert
Muller light! I don't really eat desserts so haven't explored this really.

Actually, think I'd do an exotic fruit salad.

I'll be the one who starts out nice then gets lairy as fuck when pissed, culminating in telling the final host exactly why they and everything they stand for is wrong, before passing out on the sofa.

blue I found it daunting too. Been going five weeks now and it's fine. A bit jolly for my liking, but fine.

Meant to ask, what's aromatic lamb novena?

Here's my pudding, I ate this while DH and DS tucked into Krispy Kreme donuts that our neighbour kindly donated as she bought them for friends who cancelled omg I could have eaten 6!!

Oh I love Come Down With Me!

Let's see...

Starter: chilli chicken lettuce wraps

Main: Cuban hash

Pud: lemon quark on a salted caramel hifi base topped with strawberrries

Whoop whoop 1.5lb off and a stone award. 14.5lb off in 7 weeks!

I bought myself a recipe book to celebrate. Best loved extra easy recipes x

Well done groovee

More stone awards rolling in this week! Whoop!

Ohh will have a think about my come dine with me menu.

clash id probably challenge you in the drunken lairy stakes.

Hmmm come dine with me... I need to think about it x

0.5lb off for me so got my stone award too! Seems to be a few of those on here tonight which is great.

I really don't like my consultant I've only stayed for 2 meetings as they lasted 2 hours so don't normally stay. She gave me my stone award today and just was very unenthusiastic.

Owch, one of my wisdom teeth is growing in. There is a good side though - I don't fancy anything that's not liquid though so got a feeling today will be low syn (well bar the vodka citron I am drinking, which is a substitute for strong painkillers - ibuprofen won't touch my sides )

Hmm, come dine with me -
Starter - Leek and potato soup with the option of freshly baked wholemeal rolls for those who want it
Main - Cajun chicken skewers with spicy wedges, or cajun vegetarian burgers with spicy wedges. Coleslaw on the table for those who want it, along with bowl fulls of salad for speed and for those who are doing SP.
Dessert - I'm not a big dessert cook so would offer either banana 'ice cream' (frozen mashed banana), muller lights or a my current favourite dessert - mango chunks, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries with a cherry muller light stirred through.

To drink - Water (fizzy, plain, flavoured), red, white, rose wine, cider, lager, or citron or raspberry vodka.
