[Cordial11]

Hi all, getting back on the wagon and have alot to shift. I seem to struggle for lunch ideas!

Please post your meal plans for the week so I can steal, I mean gain some inspo

I'm about to start doing mine ( I go Thursday to Thursday) and I'm using this month's magazine for inspiration... I do eat a lot of highly spiced foods and low carbs as a rule though

Oh please post when complete @pinkyboots1 - I think I do need to cut down carbs.

I will do 👍🏻 ...

Hopping onto this thread as I always need some inspiration! Hope you don't mind OP 🙈 Planners- do you plan for the week? Or a few days?

So this is the plan for next week. I'll add the snacks and syns into the table as I go along coz I like to use them for exactly what I fancy at that moment. The syns all tally up as I go so I can watch my total ( I use my Syns weekly not daily) I do use my other HEA if needed but not always.

Jumping on the post for some inspiration.

Joining this thread.

I'm starting tomorrow as I'm back at work and have a big New Years Day dinner at my parents today.

I go on holiday for 3 weeks in a week but going to make healthier choices where ever possible.

Better to start now then in 4 weeks!

I always plan for the week as if I don’t plan I head down the chip shop lol!
All welcome to hop on, will plan mine later and post

Right.... dinners sorted for next week mon - friday

Chicken lasagne (tesco food recipe and will adapt the white sauce)
Marinated chicken with sweet potatoes , mixed bean and feta salad
Steak chilli (OH doesnt like mince chilli - weirdo)
Sticky chicken and stir fried noodles
Hunters chicken (basement bakehouse recipe)

I always plan my lunches and dinners for the week ahead - otherwise I am well off plan. Breakfast is usually porridge, weetabix or eggs and bacon depending on whether or not I am at work. Lunches are usually salad, soup or sandwiches (or a combination of all three) depending on my work pattern.

My menu plan for this week is -

Sat - turkey fricassee (I WILL get rid of all that turkey) with SW chips and spinach
Sun - minced beef hot pot with veggies
Mon - mushy pea chicken curry with rice (not tried this before)
Tues - pork chops, salad and baked potatoes
Wed - spaghetti carbonara with salad
Thursday - some sort of beef casserole with veg and potatoes
Friday - baked potato and salad or leftovers from one of the other meals

I have never tried the mushy pea curry either, please report back
Mmm hot pot sounds good will add that to the next week!

Lunches I tend to make batches of minestrone soup, tomato soup and orzo pasta salad.
I’m doing SW versions of the following dinners this week:
Burger and chips with Big Mac sauce
5 bean chilli and rice with salad
Gnocchi with roasted vegetables and salad
Chicken/quorn fillet with crispy new potatoes, green vegetables and marinara sauce
Pulled pork/jackfruit bbq tacos with salsa
Meatballs/veggie balls with spaghetti and salad

I've been a member of sw for 2 years, lost 2 stone in 6 months and have remained within my 3lb target limit since then. I found planning the week really helps, lunch and dinner, this week looks like this.
Mon- soup with added pasta
Jacket potato with beans and ham
