Hi all, I joined slimmig world yesterday as I finally ready and motivated to get this weight off. Anyone else? Is there a support thread for those following slimming world? As I couldn't see one on here. If not anyone interested in helping to support each other here?

Good evening all Grin

I have had a splendid half term an fear weigh in this week will reflect it. I am trying to do damage limitation now we are home again but there is chocolate lying around...

Today I have had:
B - 2 rashers back bacon with visible fat cut off, dry fried egg, apple & banana with an Activia raspberry yogurt.
L - jacket potato with fromage frais, spinach, cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Packet cheese & onion Pom bears (4.5 syns)
T - lamb biryani (from SW cook book), packet milk chocolate buttons, 3 milk choc digestives. Haven't calculated the syns yet for the chocolate/biscuits.

I am planning to have 2 baby bel and 2 hifi bars later for supper as my healthy A&B.

BadRoly · 24/02/2013 19:43

Digestives 3.5 syns EACH Shock
Chocolate buttons - probably about 15 syns given the size of the pack and how much I ate...

Oops!

Evening

Ooppps curry last night had to celebrate my friend getting pregnant Grin its been a long 2 years hee hee so had onion bhajis, chicken tikka - dry meal, keema rice and chapatti and poppodoms ooooopppps washed down with 2 ciders and a huge southern comfort and full fat coke.

Been at work today had porridge for brekkie, 2 plums at lunch and a stirfry for tea. I cannot weigh in until friday usually it would be tomorrow but my days at work have been messed about.

laughalot · 24/02/2013 19:49

Bad Roly I hate that with Biscuit as you can have a choc bar for the same syns. A Biscuit seems to be gone in one bite.

beanandspud · 24/02/2013 20:18

I know what you mean Badyroly And Laughalot - I was Shock to find out that chocolate fingers are 1.5 syns each - I could happily eat half a packet without thinking - complete waste of syns. But I do love biscuits, you just can't dunk a curly wurly in your tea!

BadRoly · 24/02/2013 20:24

Well you could Beans - and it might be easier on my teeth Wink

BadRoly · 24/02/2013 20:31

I have 2 creme eggs stashed in the freezer too - I am hoping that freezing them will slow down eating them and I will enjoy them more...

iklboo · 24/02/2013 20:34

Matchmakers are 1 syn each. I break them into three & let them melt in my mouth so they last longer. I'd prefer a handful of custard creams - but that's why I'm having to do Slimming World Grin.

BadRoly · 24/02/2013 20:38

That's it exactly iklboo Grin Confused

Thank you everyone for a wonderful welcome :) I will be visiting here as often as I can. Reading how everyone is doing I find is a great help, makes doing this a lot easier. Good luck to all

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/02/2013 16:17

where do you buy rockyroad hifi?

maybe i need to eat hifi bars

spottymoo · 25/02/2013 16:18

Hifi bars are only available in group meetings :)

BadRoly · 25/02/2013 16:41

Blondes - not a SW recipe so probably about 700 syns per muffin Hmm

7oz flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp bicarb
1 tsp salt
Sift these together

3 mashed bananas
2.5 oz melted butter
5 oz sugar
1 egg
Mix these together until smooth. Fold in dry ingredients. Cook at 180c for 25-30mins. Makes 12 muffins

I only had 2 bananas so chucked in 100g chocolate buttons I had lying around Wink

Who is brave enough to work out the syns then...?
