Is there a Slimming World thread on here please?

[CherryPie3]

Hi!

I decided to start the SW eating plan again after I fell off the wagon 5yrs ago...

Will be joining my local group next Tuesday evening.
I have tried to get back on the wagon many times but this time feels different, I'm at the end of my tether with it and I'm at my shameful heaviest.

My stats: ()
Height:- 5'6
Weight:- 20st 9lbs
Age: 28

Anyone wanna join me? Or point me in the direction of an existing thread? xx

Bought scales yesterday and leapt on this morning - 13st 7lb (I had guesstimated a whole stone heavier so yay!)

So...

Weight: 13st 7lb
target: 11st
Age: 34
Height: 5'9"

Half a stone a month is completely doable ceebee

Had 1/4 of this yummy spinach and feta pie for dinner last night, and for lunch today too.

Do you think it is a good or bad SW meal?

For lunch today had two poached eggs with it....

Hello everyone :) Welcome Ooger

How is everyone? I thought I'd have had loads of posts to catch up on but nope!
It's been my daughters birthday here and then I was ill so that's the reason for my absence. I haven't strayed from SW a single bit though!

I got weighed last Tuesday and had lost just 1lb but wasn't too bothered as I was ill anyway and at least it wasn't a gain...

We tried a new recipe this week, lemon and Greek yoghurt Cajun chicken kebabs. I didn't actually get to taste them as I left them for my husband - but he said they were amazing!! I'll post the recipe soon, they were very easy, literally put all ingredients in a ziploc bag to marinate (I left them 22hrs in the fridge) and then skewer them up into kebabs and grill :)

ceebee half a stone? Easy peasy for you :)

pickle glad to hear the boot camp is going well!!

I also made an awesome BBQ sauce this week, totally syn free and really tasty. Will also post recipe for that when I get chance. I used it as a marinade/cooking sauce to make hunters chicken. Today I'm using it to marinate potatoes! It's so lovely :)

Take care everyone x

How's everyone doing?

Had my weigh in this morning...another 1lb off taking total loss to 1st 4lb in 6weeks.
I'll be stepping up the workouts this week and taking the toddler out on long walks in the big 3 wheeler buggy. I wish the weight was coming off a bit quicker, we're off back to Disneyland Paris in July and I want to take the kids on Crush's Coaster...I've always been too scared to try before In case I'm too fat for the harness :(

Hope everyone's doing well xx

Lemon Cajun Chicken kebabs...
4tbsp fat free natural or Greek yoghurt
2tbsp Cajun seasoning
1tsp lemon juice (the concentrated stuff is fine)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chicken breast chunks

1. In a bowl or ziploc bag, mix all the ingredients together. Zip the bag up and give it a good shake.

2. Stick it in the fridge to marinate for 4-6 hours (preferably overnight). (I always prepare mine the evening before I need it so it marinates for about 24hrs).

3. Thread chicken into kebab skewers and grill until cooked, turning regularly. You could even oven bake the chunks and serve in a wholemeal pitta bread. (I think these can be a HExB option).

.

Syn Free BBQ Sauce.
1 onion peeled and chopped
1tsp mild chilli powder
8fl oz passata
3tbsp canderel or Splenda
4tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 Worcestershire sauce
Half tsp mustard powder
Salt and fresh ground pepper

1. sauté the onion and chilli powder in frylight on a low heat for 5mins until softened.

2. stir in remaining ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 mins until thickened. Whizz with a hand blender until smooth.

Can be used as a cooking sauce it marinade. I suppose it would be ok as a dipping sauce too but it wasn't to my taste. It freezes well too.

Really wanted to go mad and proper binge this morning so I quickly cooked some poached eggs with a slice of wm toast and a full tin of beans! I was so full afterwards, glad my 'binge' was a controlled one.

So I've had half of one HExB today.

I want to go on a noce long walk right now but I can't cos my brothers coming over. Moan moan grumble grumble.

Hmmm, no one around?

Hope you're all well x

I am actually 8 weeks pregnant and considering doing it again,i i dont tend to put much weight on when pg but inbetween pgs i do!I am 105 kg now,10 kg than i was after my son was born 7 months ago.my other pregnancies and births have all been straightforward and enjoyable and i dont want my weight to change it.

Has anyone done it when pregnant?
