Can I join please? Started SW 8 weeks ago and am 1/2lb off from losing 1.5 stone. Need to lose 4 stone in total and gained 1/2lb this week. Hopefully pics will upload of the white lasagne sauces I’ve never added a picture before!

Dolmio do a lower fat version which is 20 syns for the whole jar

Morning all,

I'm on day 2! I've been so used to losing weight the low carb way so this goes against all I've learnt about losing weight but my colleagues and a few others have had great results on this so I thought I'd give it a bash.

Also now can't live in a world where I can't have carbs so I'm hoping this won't seem like a diet at all!

Yesterday's menu. Will do a proper slimming world shop this weekend -

B coffee with a splash of whole milk (tiny drop left before I move to skimmed) HexA

L pasta tubes with a slimming world creamy mushroom tomato sauce I found online, salad. Syn free.

D tray bake chicken thighs marinaded in honey (tblspoon) and mustard, rice wine vinegar and soy and garlic. Lime and coriander rice, red onion and peas. Side salad. 3 Syns for the rice and honey? Will have the other half for dinner tonight.

S - fibre one chocolate popcorn bar thing HexB.

Today -

B - Starbucks skinny cappuccino HexA

L - will be tin Sainsburys minestrone soup (2), 1 salad filled pitta HexB

D - same as yesterday.

Does this look ok so far? I'm not the biggest fruit fan though I do like bananas and I've got into the habit of just having a coffee for breakfast. On the days I don't have a cappuccino I'll prob use my HexA for cheese or something.

Looks good to me @supercee!

Yesterday I had:

B- Weetabix (HEb)
L- Chicken Salad (2.5 syns for Nando's Perinaise) and a pack of Ringos (3 suns)
D- Pinch Of Nom Salt & Pepper Chips and Mushrooms (2syns for mayo)

Today I'm having

B- Not sure, still in bed. 😬
L- creamy Chicken and spinach, maybe with courgetti?
D- Nando's style fakeaway - peri peri chicken, with peri chips and some halloumi if I can pick some up today.

Hello @supercee! that looks great. I'm not a huge breakfast fan but I've found if I don't eat something I end up eating biscuits. I always have ff greek yoghurt and fruit, with a splash of sugarfree syrup (Skinny Syrup from TK Maxx).

I can't live with pasta and potatoes - happy to share some pasta recipes if you like, DH is from Southern Italy so they tend to be quite plain and veggie-based, which works really well with SW. I just have to not add the huge amounts of olive oil I'm supposed to!

Hello @cheeseybeans19 - well done on losing so much so quickly! How did you manage that - did you do lots of SP days? I need to lose 4 stone but would be happy with 2 - currently 11 pounds down.

Thanks @TigerJoy share away. Pretty much eat anything (which is why I'm here 😆).

I think I'll try and have some mid-morning fruit or maybe a yoghurt to keep any pangs at bay. I love the Muller coconut and vanilla ones anyway so good to see they are only 0.5 syns.

What's everyone's go to's for spread and dressing?

I'll type some up tonight

Dressings: for chicken, 1 tbsp of sweet chilli sauce (pref low sugar) and the juice of a lime. For anything else I just use oil. For example, 1 tsp of extra virgin olive oil, 3 tsp balsamic, maybe some mustard stirred in. I tried everything else and sometimes you just need oil for the tast!

Thanks for white sauces - so dolmio light or Ada’s is 20

So that would be 5 for 4 portions or even 3.3 if manage 6 portions
I shall R.E.M. that

B fruit

L jacket tuna mayo 1 lots of salad and mayo 1

T lasagne with the below jar 😡😡😡😡

So either 9 or 6 syns depending on how many portions it makes

Thank you all x

Better try and make 6 as I can live with 6 syns for dinner

Seems to be quite large so should easily make 6 portions so 6 syns each

Cooking in ovens now. Will post pic when done

Thank you @TigerJoy, I’ve not done SP days but try not to go over 10 syns, and I do a good walk 4 times a week, around 5 miles. Was absolutely crap last week though as I had the week off work with my Son and just couldn’t stop eating! Back to work now and he’s back at school so hopefully will get back on track!

@Blondeshavemorefun
Have you tried making the SW lasagne sauce? It's made with veg stock, quark, potato and butternut squash. I didn't think it could work, but surprisingly, it does! And it's free

@dexterslockedintheshedagain no. I love bns

What the recipe please. Thanks

Was nice. Prob worth 6p tho sacrificed my crisps for it lol

That looks great, glad it was worth it!

Porridge with blackberries for breakfast
Thai chicken curry with butternut squash for lunch and some physalis
Dinner tonight was home made diet burgers with mange tout and Brussels sprouts
Halo ice cream and a few Bacardis

@Blondeshavemorefun
Here's the recipe-hope you can read it

Got back from holiday about an hour ago.
The line is drawn! Haven't weighed myself yet, but from now on I'm focussed on losing the weight I've gained and then more.
Plan, plan, plan!!

Was a bit up and down yesterday, could’ve done better but could’ve been worse.

B - banana and mango
L - Thai soy and ginger chicken with rice (in a restaurant - not sure on syns but seemed like a good option)
D - jacket potato, chicken, salad, mayo (2)
S - 2 mini choc chip muffins and half a box of mikado chocolate stick things

Must do better today

What are the syns of making white sauce? Are they more?

Had ice cream AND peanuts yesterday evening. Must do better.

B: warburtons seeded bagel thin, buttered, scrambled egg (3 syns for butter), nectarine, espresso (1 syn for sugar)

L: prawn vietnamese salad

D: salmon fillet, boiled potatoes, green beans, asparagus

Coming up to my period and just want to eat constantly. Not doing that will be my challenge today!

@dexterslockedintheshedagain be brave. Jump on the scales

I lost a lb. fuck knows how - but scraping back my gain from last week

B sw fry up

L ham salad

T chicken and salad in pitta b mayo 1

S crisps 5 fruit

Haven’t eaten a thing today. Woke up with an awful stomach bug, vomiting, stomach pains, temperature, the works .

Barely have the energy to type this. Hoping it might pass by tomorrow.

Shamelessly placemarking as about to rejoin SW and need some inspiration.

I'm back!!!! My own scales tell me I've gained half a stone! Much better than I'd expected. Drank far more than usual, which explains most of it. No more alcohol until November, mine and DH birthday. He's said if I lose 15lbs+ by then , he'll buy me a new frock. How can I resist a challenge like that??!!!!

But back on it, recording everything that passes my lips - if you bite it, write it!

Today:

B - 40g porridge, 200 ml whole milk (HEA X1, HEB) 1tbsp Sukrin gold (free)
S - 2 hard boiled eggs
L - pasta & cheese (2nd HEA)
D - Chicken stir fry with chilli sauce (2 syns)

@MumInTheCity oh no. Hope you feel better soon

I would like a bug and lose weight ...... not

@dexterslockedintheshedagain - that’s not bad for a holiday considering I put on 3lbs last week

@ChangingMyNameFromMUUUUUMMMM welcome and good luck

I’m munching on sliced apples at work. They seem to taste better then eating a whole one
