Slimming World 2007....The Friendly Support / Kick Up The Backside Thread 8-)

Here then BAHB, hows this?

...Fool that flab...I love it!

Going to Asda shopping for few essentials....but gone blank.....what are your top 5-10 essentials when doing the SW diet apart from fruit??? HELP!

muller light yogurts, fruit & veg, cous cous, pasta (green days) eggs
Hows that for a start?

One of my favourite lunches (and my DTs love it too) is Riso Gallo risotto pronto - the sun-dried tomato one is free on a green day. I always stir in some spinach and have part of my HE portion of parmesan with it. It's yummy - so that's always on my list. Only prob is not all supermarkets stock it, not sure about Asda, but Tescsos and Sainsburys do.

Didn't make it to class this week, as I was on my way back from my mum's where DD1 had been staying for a couple of days. Trouble was, I knew I probably wasn't going to make it so I haven't been very good this week ...having a slimming world supper followed by v. naughty pudding for Valentine's dinner tonight, but will be good from tomorrow and hopefully repair the damage by next week. I don't have scales at home so can't weigh myself here
(fortunately )

hiya, im new to mums net but an old hand at slimming world!! ive got 3 stone to lose but have lost 2 and half already (this time round!) im not at a club at the minute because i live in germany so im going it alone. Any new tips would be great and ive a cupboard full of books if anyone needs any ideas.

Hi Iptwinkletoes, & Welcome

I had 1/2lb off last night but am happy it wasn't 1/2lb gain Every little helps!!

when I came home from class yesterday evening, Dh had cooked us 2 lovely steaks, garlic fries, pepper sauce & m'rooms & onions Delicious!! He had bannoffee for afters, I didn't, I don't like it. [I had a bag of minstrels instead]

I would love another 2lb off this week to make it up to 14lb! Will try my hardest!!!

Well done everyone else on their losses!!

mmmm thats making me hungry!!! having our valentines meal tonight and am going to try make it mainly slimming world, well with some treats too!!
have been losing 2lb a week but dont think i can keep that up, i will be happy with anything on monday.
congrats to everyone, i know its hard for me if there are chocs about!!!

Just had a lovely pkt of wine & mushroom pasta with 2 laughing cow light stirred in Delicious!!!!!!!!

I was telling a friend what I had for din last night & she has really annoyed me!! She said "OMG... you ate all that!! After you had been to a slimming class???? Eew... then I said that it was all cooked in spray oil & the garlic fries were done like sw chips... she said "Yeah, you keep talking, you might even convince yourself you didn't eat it at all"

I was too shocked, just said I had to get on, & left Dh said she was jealous 'cos she had asked me if I got flowers & I said no. She said she hadn't either, then I said DH cooked me the above meal... I felt awful... feel like an elephant after her comments. I mean, just 'cos I am on a diet doesn't mean I can't eat

fff2

never let people's negative comments get you down.. she obviously has NO IDEA how slimming world works. Remember how well you have done & put two fingers up to her (if you want to be well mannered do it whilst she's not there.)

FFF2 I think your friend must just be jealous because you're doing so well and she obviously doesn't understand how SW works. FWIW I had pretty much the same last night - HUGE steak with roasted veg and SW chips. Only difference was I made it, although I did get a lovely bunch of roses . I had bought 2 naughty chocolate puddings but we were too full after our steaks , so I'm either going to have to let the DCs eat them, or save up some syns for them over the w/e.

TTK I'm drooling stop it! The thing is with me if there is chocolate or pudding in the house I cant save it for the weekend I'd have to have it there and then I think I have a serious problem!

Well done for the losses girls...

Does anyone know how many syns are in kebab sauce?? I bought a tub from my local butcher today. Am cooking sw chips, chicken fillet [HE] & onion... would love a dollop of kebab sauce over the top.....

Good evening ladies. Well I went to my first class Wednesday morning. Shocked at how much I weigh. Trying realy hard to get into it. Dh is in the kitchen making quorn cottage pie. Smells realy yummy. Just hope my ds whos 2.9 eats it. Luckily he likes trying new things. Firefly2 my parents are exactly the same. I try and try to explain how sw works and that they dont have to starve to lose weight but I dont think theyre convinced. Oh well there loss.

Oh just one more thing where do you get sw chips and what sausages are free on a red day? thanks

well done on the losses every1,

hi gingeme, u make the chips yourself, they are lovely! really in a rush at the mo but i'm sure some1 else will post how ya make them, if not i will later!

Gingme

You peel & chop a spud.

Par-boil them, just for a few minutes.

Drain them, shake them in the saucepan for a minute or so until the edges are rough.

[pre-heat a baking tray with spray oil in the oven]

The pour the drained potato chips into the baking tray & pop in the oven

They do take a wee while to brown up so don't be alarmed!

I haven't done slimming world for years and am thinking of rejoining. The vegetable balti masala that is on the ASDA takeaway curry counter used to be free on a green day with boiled rice. Is that still the case??

My whole decision to rejoin is based on that!! How very sad, but I used to eat it all the time when my hubby was on lates - its delicious.

hi every1, how i do the chips now( some1 on here told me this, cant remember who!!)
is instead of par boilin them just put them in microwave for about 5 mins,then put them in oven, they seem 2 go brown quicker, i also sprinkle paprika & garlic salt on them! yum yum!

me!..wanted to do some too but my spuds were a week out of date

Lovely lovely thankyou so much. x

Spuds go out of date?

well the had best before 13th on them???

We grow spuds..they never go out of date

& for anyone else wanting to know how many syns are in kebab sauce, my sw consultant called me today & I asked her, she said about 4 per tablespoon

I've just made sw carrot & coriander soup..Mmmmmm!! Delicious!!

if anyone wants the recipe I'll post it up

Very easy, & very very tasty!!!
