Slimming World support thread #5 2017

[ALemonyPea]

A thread for asking questions and general SW support. Welcome oldies and newbies.

I've lost a pound this week - actually a pound and a quarter but the weight tracker only uses half pounds. I'm happy with that as I did slip a couple of times this week and a pound is still a pound :)

Well done Imagination x

Back on it this morning after my night off. Having done some thinking about my gain I think I may be a bit loaded down having not been to the toilet since Sunday....TMI, I know.
Anyway, Strawberries, melon and grapes for breakfast. Bacon, scrambled eggs and spinach for lunch. Going to try pinch of nom chicken shawarmas for our evening meal, possibly done on barbecue. It's warm here but not sunny.
Well done imagination

Well done Imagination.

This made me giggle on the TCC FB page. I love their humour, it's so true. Some of the slimmer of the week basket stuff usually gets slung in the bin, it's almost rotten.

Good luck Groovster, hope you manage to go and you're lbs lighter

Lovely and sunny here today, makes me want to go for a long walk. Need to wait for DH to get in from work first and DS2 to get back from respite, so might get a walk later, or just wait till tomorrow and go out for the day as meant to be nice.

Danone have brought a coconut light and free yoghurt out, exclusive to Asda, so managed to get some and will have it with oats tomorrow for breakfast. Hope it's not disappointing like the lemon one.

😂😂😂 I got a red chilli one time and the one that made me grateful one week was the cold can of Pepsi max 😂

Wonder if you could use the Coconut yoghurt in a Thai curry?

Didn't manage 10,000 steps yesterday, only around 9000. Will attempt extra today. Got the hen party tonight, so maybe if we do some dancing that will help!

Out in the garden this am, cut lawn and clearing and planting up a front bed. I love a nice garden but hate the effort involved!!

I'll be interested to see how you find the coconut light and free, sold out in my Asda. I need something less syns thAn coconut cream for curries.

Feeling very pleased today. Went to try on a couple of dresses for the hen night tonight and lots of my old favourites fitted! I was doing so as I have rejected my first choice due to it being long sleeved and therefore too warm. So I thought I'd try on a few of my pre baby dresses and quite a few fit! I'm so delighted!

Not eating chips and bread for months all seems worth it now!

Aww great NSV @OwlinaTree x

Made Fanta Zero chicken. It was ok. DH and Dd loved it.

Nice one Owl, well done.

I have just had a sort-of NSV. No laughing at me please....... I want to tell you that I have knickers flying proudly on my washing line!!!!! We have lived here 16 years and have a long washing line that goes the length of the garden. When you pull it up for maximum drying it flies beautifully for our neighbours to see as we live on a hill. I have never pegged any of my knickers out for fear of a neighbour seeing them and mistaking them for windsocks! All dried in the dryer all year round. Today I was brave and pegged up my smaller knickers for all to see!!!! and they had all better notice them This is probably the weirdest NSV ever, right????

Not had a brilliant week here as I have eaten out once and then went to a friends for a meal last night, too. It was delicious, but very off plan. When invited to a friends, though, I couldn't be fussy. it was curry and rice and salad. Not too bad, but I would normally have filled up with salad, but there was just one small bowl between 11 of us, so I didnt want to take it all. The rice had almonds, raisins and lots of other yummy things added and the curry was creamy. Oh well, on it today and I will just take the hit on Tuesday if I have to.

I've never made that groovee what's it like? Is it really sweet?

Well done owl what a lovely feeling!

That's lovely Owl! Well done!

PA that made me smile. You display your knickers with pride!

I used to walk around the shops and hide the size on the hangers of the clothes I was buying. Now I don't.

Have done loads of body magic today, did loads of gardening and helped DH build a trampoline. I've probably drunk my own weight in liquids. Had to go to the shops and buy ice cubes as freezer wasn't freezing them fast enough for my liking.

Fizzing, it's not as sweet as I expected it to be x

PA I loved your NSV, good for you!

Very on-plan week and I lost... NOTHING. Stayed exactly the same. I am quietly raging, but reminding myself it's a marathon, not a sprint, and hoping that means a better loss next week. Sigh.

noodle sympathies, weeks like that are so frustrating! It could be water retention in the heat too? Keep drinking and hopefully you'll see a loss next weigh in.

I had a couple of NSV in town when I went shopping! I bought some new clothes and found I got in small in Gap and H&M (wore a L when I started SW!) and when I got my bra measured I've gone down 2 back sizes! I look loads better in the new bras too, they are uplifted! I had a massive blowout on Friday though - went to see Guns N' Roses in London and had booze and McDonald's! Hoping the 6 miles I walked will have helped redress the balance slightly!

PS PA that made me smile! Wave those knickers and be proud!

On the bad side I am so hungover. On the good side I've already done 6,000+ steps today

I love your NSV PA.

Faith it's amazing what a correct sized bra does. I need to get measured soon too.

Wow at the steps Owlina x

I had yogurt and fruit this morning for breakfast after having yesterday off plan.
I had an Aldi light fruit layered summer berries yogurt. Could anyone tell me the syn value please?
I know some if them are free but not sure about this one.
Thanks.
Hope everyone's enjoying the sun.

Art I think it's 0.5 syns as I accidentally bought them once but they were lovely x
