We can do this! Any buddies?

It's Monday, I've weighed in and I'm still 12 stone. Been a bit slack in the last week. I've been trying to give up my biggest vice which is wine, so I sort of decided last week that was my focus, which resulted in me overlooking a few syns...or fifty 🤫

Anyone want to start a support group on here?

I need to get back to 11 stone, I have a work uniform to get back into in October (when I go back from maternity leave). This is my motivation.

@MissRabbitIsExhausted thanks for reply 😊

Yes @MissRabbitIsExhausted you can get the bars on the website and the delivery seems to be fast at the minute too!

@WhoUsedMyName
Yes as Miss Rabbit said, some people save their syns and use them all at once, others use the allowance daily.

I have a family birthday today. Luckily I dont really have the urge to eat cake (today) so will probably be good about the cake, but if there is other party food there that will be hard to resist.

Today I had my hi-fi bar for breakfast and a salad for lunch (and about 10 cups of coffee).

Party food🤤that is the worst you can eat about 12 lunches just by picking. Today I've had ryvitas with cottage cheese and cucumber. Missed breakfast as my mum came over I'm sure I'll make up for it

So far I've had

Breakfast: Weetabix & Milk (a & b)
Lunch: chicken and sweet corn mugshot (1), apples & strawberries

Dinner will consist of chicken of some sort but not actually decided what with yet 😂

Don't think I could resist birthday cake 🙈

I do eat so much chicken on slimming world. Think I'm going to be lazy and do eggs,bacon,beans and mushrooms

I already had two helpings of chocolate with my hi fi bars today so didn't mind not having the cake!
For the party food, I did a quick search on the sw app and discovered that chicken dippers are 1.5 syns each, so rather than have a piece of pizza for 15 syns, I stuffed my face with chicken dippers! Back home now with syn free chips in the air fryer and going to have some free steak aswell, so think I've still managed to stay with less than 15 syns today!
Hope you all enjoyed your dinners

@Dk20 well done you! That is will power 😊 I've had no Syns today so should probs go to bed right now lol

@Dk20 well done, that’s great willpower!

Went round my dm today and the dc made cakes and sausage rolls , I didn't touch the cake but used up my Syns on party sausage rolls.
Think I might do the bbq pulled pork tonight anyone tried it?

Or maybe not! may have to be tomoz I didn't realise it was a slow cook recipe having a dumb moment

I would have eaten the cake, I cannot resist cake it's terrible

I haven't tried the pulled pork.
I'm having steak, potatoes and veg tonight for dinner. Desperately needed a break from chicken!!

@WhoUsedMyName havent tried the pulled pork but have seen pics from people who have and it looks amazing. Is it an easy-ish recipe?

@MissRabbitIsExhausted
I really enjoyed the steak I had yesterday for a change.

Today I'm doing lean bacon with cabbage and potatoes, it's nearly ready, so have managed to stay good today so far

It does seem pretty straight forward I will make to tomoz and let you know 😁

Please may I join in? Been here many times before but something always gets in the way - illness, bereavement, job loss, something.

Lost a stone at the beginning of lockdown and then plateaued as the stress of juggling home school and working full time really set in. Started exercising 3x a week 5 weeks ago and despite being 100% on food at least 90% of meals (logging everything), I've gained 10lbs. I'm not perfect, but I am so damn close so just thinking that I am destined to be 23st forever.

@motherofawhirlwind welcome! Well we are all here for the same thing but I must admit I've nearly eaten a bag of jelly babies today so I need to stop being a fat shit 😑

@motherofawhirlwind welcome
How is everyone doing today?

I seen a wedding dress this morning that I loved but totally need to lose weight for so I'm holding on to that to give me willpower over the weekend!

@WhoUsedMyName I've just realised up the thread that you are pregnant, I don't think I could have stuck to slimming world when I was pregnant so well done for that!

Do you get more syns you are allowed in a day?

I get the same amount of syns but I'm aloud extra a & b . I'm just so greedy pregnant or not 😑 I brought my wedding dress to small I got to 6 weeks before my wedding and had to crash diet 🤣

I would love an extra a choice, I'm all about the cheese 😂

I think it's really good that you are doing it whilst pregnant it shows a lot of determination to do it, so you should remember that when you feel like you don't want to do it or it's getting you down!

Thank you @MissRabbitIsExhausted 😊
I'm all about the cheese like a whole block in one sitting 🧀🤤

I appear To still be losing weight. No faith in myself, even if I am sticking to plan. My aim is to go down a dress size by Sept.

@WhoUsedMyName did you try the pulled pork?

@motherofawhirlwind welcome, that's hard doing all the right things yet still gaining. Do you log your food with the sw app?

@MissRabbitIsExhausted a wedding dress sounds like the perfect motivation, that's very exciting

I had a good day food wise yesterday, managed to stay on track.
Disappointed this morning though as I opened the delivery with my slimming world bars in, and they sent me 10 boxes of the wrong bars

What does everyone have planned for dinner today?

@Dk20 no I haven't and I have all the stuff to I've been really busy (or lazy) I'm not sure which

I got fresh mince delivered today so am going to have lasagne for lunch and dinner .
