SW support thread #2 of 2018

[Groovee]

New thread ladies...

Well done pink unicorn that’s a fantastic start!

Not sure what I’m eating today need to go shopping really but at work later and don’t think I can muster up the energy to do both today 😂 will be spag Bol for dinner most likely and maybe omelette for lunch 🤔 hope everyone has a great day.

flutterby - I went for Mexican a few weeks back and binged on a giant chimichanga - oddly enough I also felt really rubbish all night and thought it might be my body rejecting the alien junk food, as my system had adapted.

Well done to all losers!

Well done to Myguide and Mabel and PinkUnicorn . That's a great start for you. ☺

Does anyone have any insight into how SW works as a maintenance diet? I have lost two stone which I'm very happy about and have about two more to go. I've noticed though that if I go "off plan" I will tend to gain weight at the rate of 1 pound + per day. For example at the weekend I was at a wedding staying in a hotel.I did go off plan and had a cooked breakfast and then some drinks (hic!) and then the wedding reception meal rack of lamb, dauphinois potatoes and veg and then a gooey pudding, cheese and biscuits. The next day was another hotel breakfast and a late lunch pizza and then just fruits et cetera when I got home. I managed to put on 3 pounds! Do you think it is always like this? In other words do you have to continue doing the food optimising FOREVER!!! I confess I find it a bit of putting that I can regain this weight so easily after really working hard to lose it. Does anyone have any experience of how to manage this long-term once you reach your target?

Morning. Going to head out for a walk a bit later on, enjoy the sunshine that's finally arrived! Found a recipe for syn free oat biscuits last night (if using as heb otherwise 1/2 a syn each) if they work I'll post the recipe.

B - blueberry wheaties and yoghurt
L - omelette
D - lasagne, home made SW version.

@Pipsqueak11 when you reach target they will go through the slight changes you make to remain at target. I look on food optimising as a life style change so if I get target tonight then I will be making the slight changes and not returning to my old ways.

Real life will take over and you will gain at times when you go off plan. But by reigning things back in you would soon have that off again. I gained 5lb on a week away last year but had it off the following week as I was no longer drinking so much alcohol all week long.

I make oaty biscuits @Testarossa1. Still need to work on the taste a bit more lol. But a nice way to use your HE in a different way.

Thanks Groovee - it's hard as I tend to lose fairly slowly so will perhaps take 3-4 weeks to lose 3 lb and then 2 days to put it on!!

A maintain for me this week, which isn't so bad as I was a lil bit naughty with some chocolate haha, we received our 2nd box from Spice Pioneer too which had a beautiful Kashmiri pulled lamb, ginger spiced aubergine with chickpeas and fennel butter flatbread

Hi everyone. Hope it’s ok to join this thread. I started doing slimming world today after 3 years off. I have 6st to loose. I really do love slimming world. I lost 3st last time but I will hold my hands up I got lazy and put that and more back on 😫 but starting a new chapter today. So much has changed since I last went I’m just worried a lot more has changed than I thought food wise. Ie pasta n sauce is synced now is that correct? Any way hello everyone x

Well done losers :)

Not sure yet

I made the oat biscuits, they were vile! Like sandpaper and no flavour at all, even though I put cinnamon in them. Made 2 batches to make sure i not done something wrong 1st time, still rank
All gone in the bin.......

Welcome @Amym91 the pasta in sauces, mugshots and super noodles now all have syns. Think it changed in November.

@Testarossa1 that's been the problem with mine. Tried soaking in the skinny syrups on the hope of some flavour.

@Groovee thanks that's good to know

Groovee let me know how if it works. Would be Nice to be able to bake something that's quick and easy and doesn't wipe out my syns!

What's everyone having for breakfast lunch dinner today? Might get some ideas.
Breakfast- scrambled egg, beans and a tangerine
Lunch- kippers with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radish and celery, little pickles and beetroot.
Dinner- beef stew with broccoli, cabbage and mash turnip

B: Overnight oats with oat bran instead of porridge, berries and fromage frais.
L: sweet potato with Philadelphia and salad.
Raspberries and light squirt cream
D: Omelette and salad.
Snacks sponge fingers/ grapes

@Cherrypi that all sounds do good. I haven't ever done the overnight oats. Do you use frozen fruit? Will def need to give it a bash

@Testarossa1 it didn't work 😢. It was totally tasteless.

B: was a fruit Omelette
L: was soup with a plum and 3 mini cucumbers
D: Cajun chicken pasta with mushroom/onions/spinach

Had an apple/Satsuma and a quark pot. Will eat dinner after weigh in!

@Groovee what's your fruit omelette like?

Had this this morning... plain omelette with a sprinkling of sweetener then frozen berries. Other days I may put yoghurt on instead of sweetener. Or quark.

Yes I use frozen fruit. I just made chocolate SlimmingWorld cupcakes with the kids and they aren’t great.
