777 challenge

62 replies

Birthdaypartyangstiness · 05/05/2017 20:17

Anyone else trying out 777 challenge?

(7 days of 7xspeed, 7 glasses of water, 7.0 syns)

On day 4 and feel like it's going well, apart from all the trips to the loo. Feeling less bloated. But keep running out of syns and feeling a bit deprived in the evening when I'd usually have some choc shot and fruit or an options.

Plan to press on and see what the loss is at 7 days...

Good luck all.

So far today, beans and egg on Toast, apple.
Day 3
1xS,. 5xSyns, 1xw.

OwlinaTree · 13/05/2017 10:10

Sorry day 4!

Aspergallus · 13/05/2017 20:10

Day 1/7 for me (again)

Lunch- crustless quiche and salad
Snacks- revita and cheese (leerdammer light) with pickles, apple
Dinner- SW meatballs baked in fresh tomato and basil sauce and veg with courgetti
Desert-strawberries with quark and choc shot

S-7, H20-4, Syns-7

Annoyingly I didn't save enough syns for my fibre one 90 brownie tonight. Accidentally picked up the wrong sauce for my meatballs and double checked once I'd eaten it. Huge difference between Tesco and Sainsbury's fresh pasta sauce. You live and learn...Will have a bit more water this evening for the full house. But on the plus side I've survived a Saturday while DH and DCs have been eating lovely weekend food all day. Need to do the same tomorrow, then the weekdays should be easier.

OwlinaTree · 13/05/2017 21:14

So annoying when that happens asper, hope the sauce was nice. I ended up at a BBq, had some chicken but resisted the rest. Come home hungry though! Putting baby to bed then will have some rice I think. No idea about syns as has a chicken salad for lunch in the pub with all sorts in it. Wouldn't be mega high, but I doubt free!

Day 4
5xS, ?xSyns, 5xw.

OwlinaTree · 13/05/2017 22:38

Day 4
6xS, ?xSyns, 7xw. Nearly made it!

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 13/05/2017 22:43

I might join if that's ok? Going to do SP as well. Just not losing on extra easy ATM...

OwlinaTree · 14/05/2017 10:32

Eaten loads this am to make up for not much yesterday, I was starving!

Day 5
3xS, .5xSyns, 0xw.

Aspergallus · 14/05/2017 15:16

Hi rando please do. I've been doing SW on and off for about a year and a challenge here and there gets my motivation up, even better if others join.

Hope everyone's having a good Sunday.

I'm aiming to save syns for a treat tonight. So far so good.

Have batch cooked a massive amount of bolognaise, so will probably have a portion for dinner tonight. Also made a crustless quiche that will see me through the first few packed lunches this week.

Right now pretty motivated to tick off Day 2, and have the weekend done as this is usually the point I fall off the wagon. Totally on the board with Sat being the new day for starting afresh.

OwlinaTree · 14/05/2017 17:56

Day 5
4xS, 2xSyns, 4xw.

Been out all afternoon, ended up with a plain jacket with a tiny bit of salad for lunch as there wasn't much else sw friendly! Just for home and ate some tuna for the topping! Having a lovely cuppa now but will try to get some more water down soon, I can't drink too much too late or I'm up in the night BlushGrin

OwlinaTree · 14/05/2017 22:21

Day 5
7xS, 7xSyns, 8xw.

Had 1.5 syns left so had a tiny piece of Toblerone. So so yummy!!

Aspergallus · 14/05/2017 22:33

Mmmmm...toblerone!

Day 2/7

Sx7, H20x5, Synsx7

I got through the weekend! Had my lovely brownie, choc shot/quark + strawberry desert tonight for all my syns. Was worth saving them.

Packed lunch for tomorrow all sorted too. Feeling motivated now by starting to think about summer holidays.

Not going to make the mistake tonight of topping up my water too late -ended up getting out of bed this morning for a pee at 4.30am, and was probably awake for 30 mins before that before my brain was awake enough to understand why I was awake.

Aspergallus · 14/05/2017 22:37

BTW, some stuff on various SW challenges here:

www.slimmingworldsurvival.com/blog/slimming-world-challenges

I'm thinking I might use these to prop up motivation now and again over the next few months.

Day 6
3xS, 1xSyns, 1xw.

I like the idea of the melon challenge, I'd love to see my dh's face if i came home with 7 melons !! The fish one would be hard as we eat the same dinners and I'm not sure he'd want fish 7 days in a row ...I'm not sure i would to be honest !!

Weigh in for me tomorrow, I'll be interested to see if I get a good loss. I'm a bit fed up of low syn now tbh.

Groovee · 15/05/2017 11:21

I like the melon challenge. I can easily eat a melon in a day

OwlinaTree · 15/05/2017 11:27

Maybe we can do that one in a couple of weeks?

Aspergallus · 15/05/2017 21:46

Totally up for the melon one in a couple of weeks.

Day 3/7

S x 6, H20 x 6, Syns x 7

Made a nice baked chicken thing today with low fat bacon medallions tonight, very delicious.

Good luck with the weigh in Owlinatree. I get a bit hacked off with low syn too. The days that are worst are when I feel like I've wasted syns here and there through the day (bit of butter, bit of ketchup etc). If I save them up to have a decent chunk in one go for a treat I am happier. I need it once the kids are down to bed.

OwlinaTree · 15/05/2017 22:16

Day 6
10xS, 7xSyns, 8xw.
Did well on the speed, age so much for today as having a hungry day.

OwlinaTree · 15/05/2017 22:17

Should say ate so much fruit!

vincentaroony · 16/05/2017 10:29

Can I join? I've had my weigh in this morning, lost a measly half pound for the second week in a row. I like the idea of 777. I need to be stricter with myself. Hope your weigh in was a success OwlinaTree

OwlinaTree · 16/05/2017 13:16

It's not till 5.30, so I'm waiting!

Day 7
3xS, 3xSyns, 3xw.

OwlinaTree · 16/05/2017 17:54

Well that was a waste of effort. I sts! Angry

vincentaroony · 16/05/2017 18:37

Oh no! Sounds like you deprived yourself throughout the week - you deserve a loss! Will you try again?

Day 1 so far
5xS 4xSyns 6xW

OwlinaTree · 16/05/2017 18:46

Not this week!

OwlinaTree · 16/05/2017 18:46

Probably not unless I have an amazing loss next week, like 4+lb!!

Aspergallus · 16/05/2017 20:49

Oh no Owlinatree that's so annoying. I do think I get a weeks delay on losses and gains sometimes...also tend to maintain if I've eaten too little?

Day 4/7

S-7, Syns-7.0, h2o-5

Having a hungry night. Could eat more speed but hungry for chocolate really...will try to resist.
