slimming world

[jeansforever]

Hi ,Ive been doing sw extra easy for a week now ,had my weigh in and have lost 2 lbs .
Most other people in the group have lost 4 or 5 lbs so am i doing it wrong? i have not used hardly any syns and been swimming twice and gym twice.

Thanks for the welcome, I am now 3 days in and feeling okay. Have a few withdrawal symptoms/cravings for the very refined carbs and sugars but managing them. Have a bit of a crisp addiction so am choosing NOT to include them as Syns. %23goingcoldturkey

Interesting - MN mobile hates the hash tag evidently.

a loss is a loss angel

welcome chops

i lost a lb :)

It does get easier chops
Well done blondes
Duh has til Sunday and I'm off shopping for a new cooker

Jeans how u doing?

Enjoy cooker shopping tomorrow :)

Have totally screwed up my diet today

Went to Hyde park and the queens jubilee festival and they kept giving out freebies of food and drink

And at a BBQ Monday so sure I will gain

Need to kick myself - got a bikini to fit in 3 weeks

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Getting better, less cravings but they are still there - last night was bad and in the end I told myself I would eat crap today....if I still felt like it - and guess what - I don't .

Have had Mullerlight and a banana so far today.

Love that Alpan Light bars are two for a B choice - had those yesterday.

No crisps for 5 days now - will NOT include them as I know they are my sabotage in any new eating plan as I simply cannot stop at one pack....and once I've had one pack I crave more - it's the beginning of the end of weight loss as soon as I do.

Sorry to highjack the thread, would someone present be able to tell me if the yog I am eating is syn free?

I'm stuck in France, I think it's the Danone french version of shape, I'm starving and I can't access the Slimming world calculator on my phone!

It's called Danone Taillefine Blueberry yog:

It's 125g but per 100g
Calories 46 kcal
Protein 4.7g
Carb 6.6 (sugar 6.4)
Fat 0.1
Fibre 0.4

Any clues.

Heads off to Slimmibg World snackulator .....

Nightmare being French as it isn't listed. I used the snackulator to guess it and it came up with 2.5 Syns which seems a bit steep for a yoghurt with only 0.1g of fat so checked a Mulletlight in the fridge which also has .....0.1g fat so I guess your yoghurt is Syn free - enjoy

OMG I so want a bag of salt n vinigar crisps and a glass of wine - so glad they are not in the house becuse I would be munching and drinking at this point. Weighing in tomorrow.

Thanks Elizabeth, it looked better in fat etc than a Shape yog and it was delicious. Might get some and bring them home. It was the only low fat yog I could find in Carrefour.

Soooo fed up of fruit.......

Make slimming world crisps???

Weighed in for the first time today and ............................

I lost 7.5lbs in my first week.

And we had a food tasting session which further inspired me.

Going to make SW Quiche with cheese from A choice and a Syn free lime and lemon syllabub.

Yum yum ..... I am all inspired.

Well done Elizabeth! Lemon and line sylabub spuds devine- ul have to share ur recipe

Eton Mess

1 Tesco Finest Meringue (2.5 Syns)
2 tbsp Total 0% Greek style Yog
A tsp Sweetner - mix with yoghurt
Fruit of choice

Crumble Meringue into pieces on bottom of bowl

Chop fruit

Mix with sweetened Greek style Yoghurt

Can make a huge pile with extra Greek Yog and Sweetner for just 2.5 Syns.

Elizabeth you are inspiring me. Can you give me a quick run down of the SW quiche and I will make it tomorrow

Elizabeth that's amazing! Well done!

As far as I can make out (not made it yet) you beat together several eggs, add onion and bacon (plus any veg etc) plus 30g of cheese from the A choice. Stick it in a flan dish and bake till done.

I really need to look it up for exact quantities but one of the members made it and said it was in the previous edition Food Optimizing book ; the one they write in for weighing etc) so it's not in mine.

It was utterly delicious though and I could easily manage that and a salad . Syn Free or 6 Syns if not using the cheese as a healthy extra.

I make the SW quiche using a packet of Batchelors pasta and sauce (usually the cheese and broccoli), although don't make it up as instructed on the packet as I think it makes it too slimey to use in the quiche. Put it in a microwaveable bowl just covered with water and then pop it in microwave to cook. Put that in the bottom of a flan dish. Beat four eggs with a tub of very low fat cottage cheese. You can add any veg, meat you like but I usually just add more cooked broccoli, mushrooms, red onion and then pour over the pasta in the dish and pop into oven for about 30 mins....delish and syn free! :) You can leave out the pasta if you wish and just pour the mixture into a flan dish or make individual quiches by using a Yorkshire pudding tray.

i make the same as pavla apart that i just mix all pasta/veg, eggs etc all together and put in dish, rather then layer pasta on bottom iyswim

also made diet coke chicken tonight - bloody yummy and so simple to make and free on ee :)

I keep wanting to try the diet coke chicken, and the fanta chicken, but it just seems soooooo wrong. :) I can't get my head around it...I'm pretty picky with my food and don't want to go through the hassle of making it only to gag on my first mouthful! :o

you wont gag-its yummy x

Love the idea of pasta quiche will have to give that a try.
