Slimming world support thread #7 2017

[BasinHaircut]

Hello!

Ham and spring onion are my favourite combination.

My eggy muffins are 5 eggs, 250g cottage cheese (I really like the Longley Farm Fat Free with Chives) mixed together and then added to slightly fried off mushrooms and onion because I made them before I went food shopping and the fridge was almost bare poured into silicon muffin trays and topped with half a cherry tomato, and cooked for 25 mins on 180 (fan). This makes 11 muffins (2 per day for 5 days and one to eat while I'm packing them up

Thanks both :) It's good to know your preferred combinations (or what you tend to have lying around)

At the end of my very first week of Slimmingworld having stuck rigidly to the plan I have lost ...1.5 pounds.

I'm so disappointed!

Keep at it @MynewnameisKy, you might see bigger results next week.

How much do you have to lose Ky?

I use quark in my eggy muffins, makes them more filling.

Had a crap day yesterday. Went to the Toby and was going to have a salad, but had stress a few hours before so had a huge carvery and then apple crumble and custard afterwards. Had Diet Coke though, so that's ok right?

I had my comfort eating head in yesterday, wasn't great but I didn't eat half as much as I'd usually eat.

I'd like some advice as to what people accompany with soups. I made a big batch and portioned it in Tupperware but keep thinking I need a slice of toast with that for tea. Does anyone have an ideas of what goes with soup that is as satisfying as bread etc.

Mini non scale victory for me this morning. I was out with my toddler who decided to throw a massive tantrum. I felt very helpless and stressed but I had to ride it out in a very public place. I really, really, really wanted to comfort/stress eat and have a large slice of cake. I didn't give in though and now I'm tucking into some watermelon instead

Well done Tweetypie stress eating is such a hard habit to break.

I have about a stone to loose so would just have liked a bigger start. I think I need to drink more water.

Tell me about it. I'm trying to address the issues behind why I comfort eat and binge. I enjoy the diet and it works for me but I find I always slip back into old habits and gain it all back and more before starting again.

You've only got a little bit to loose so I guess it will come off more slowly. It is disappointing when you want to loose more but don't let it put you off sticking to plan this week.

@MynewnameisKy
I had small loss first week but as I've stuck to plan the losses are actually increasing slightly each week. 2.5lb last week. I'm happy with that - it's a rally good loss and excellent progress

Well done tweety! NSV are the best!
mynewname I also only lost 1.5lb in my first week. Slow and steady. I'm hoping for a bigger loss this week (3rd weigh in) but I realise af is due on weigh day so maybe my "big" loss can wait for next week instead

Weigh in tonight! I've maintained and gained the last few weeks. I'm constipated despite drinking lots of water. Hoping things sort themselves out today.

I'm a day late reporting in, don't know where the day went yesterday!

I maintained yesterday. I was involved in a local community event most of last week and over the weekend so I relied more on sandwiches for lunch whereas I'd normally have a syn-free carb such as couscous. Will go back to having bread as an occasional treat again.

Slightly stressed that my car has developed a horrible noise and has had to go to the garage. I need to drive DS2 to uni on Sunday to start his 1st year so I'm hoping it's something trivial. Better now than on the M6 with a fully loaded car! I'm keeping clear of the Pringles and other goodies he's got in for his get-together with his mates this evening 😁

Hope you get the result you want, Groovee, on all counts!

-2.5, down a stone bracket. 3.5st award

Woop, well done.

Well done groovee. Half a lb on for me, grrr!

Well done @Groovee

Well done Groovee.

Owlina, good luck for a loss next week.

Best things to dip in soup? You could use bread for your B choice. You get three slices of Kingsmill no crust bread for a b choice. If you have the time, marmite and cheese scan bran rolls are nice as well.

Gained 1lb 😢 gutted!

@ElChan03 I cook a couple of Linda McCartney ROAR sausages to go with my soup as I nearly always use my HEB at breakfast. I've seen other people using cooked meats as well x

We were discussing soups tonight. Going to make some new ones.

Sorry to those who gained. I was so annoyed last week when I gained. The week before I maintained.

Yes an annoying 'stuck to plan all week, wtf' for me. I've been writing at home so I knew it was coming. Hey ho, hope for better next week.

Weighing not writing!

Last 2 weeks I have had very undeserved gains, which I have put down to stress. Stuck to plan rigidly over those 2 weeks and was hugely disappointed. This week - I have been comfort eating for England! Plus DH whisked me away for a luxury meal, bed and breakfast for my birthday. Loads consumed - enough syns for a month - and guess what???? I only went and lost 1 bloodylb!!! My body makes no sense whatsoever!!!!! Back to the 5 stone lost, so I am pleased with that.

If you have had an undeserved gain, take heart!! Keep going, your body will catch up!!
