SLIMMING WORLD 2007 - THREAD 2 - NEW THREAD, NEW WEEK, FRESH START

[Sparkler1]

Can I start a new thread? Hope you don't mind.
Just had a really bad weight gain at group tonight and need a fresh start. Thought a fresh new thread would help.
After a 6lb weight loss last weeek have just had a bad weigh in with a gain of 3 1/2lb. .
So tomorrow is a new day, start of a new week and I am going to work hard at it!!!
Who wants to join me for a good week ahead?

Summer is on it's way and we are all going to look good!
xxxx xxxx

having lost three stone and eaten more than ever, I can truly say I love Slimming World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beth you sound like me! I got weighed tonight and was scoffing a white bread roll with cheese and tea and biscuits. Had a glass of wine and bag of cashews last night. I paid for it tonight by puttig on two and a half pounds. So much for my new thread, fresh start last Thursday .
Am going to to a big shop tomorrow (day off work) so shall have lots of good stuff in to cope the week ahead. I hope!

Hi Rachfran & Welcome

Beth.. we'll have it off in no time.

Pity I feel so lousy, I had planned to do some exercise today, either a yoga dvd or Davina dvd. I feel like a herd of elephants have walked all over me

I am taking ledodgy's advice & trying to have a speedfood with every meal. Wonder if pineapple about 5 times day is ok? Surely it must be??

Scan bran will help you lose weight fast. Pineapple and strawberries and loads of water. Oh yes and Gin and Tonic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pineapple 5 times a day + scan bran = good weightloss and the use of lots of toilet paper!!

How's today going for everyone? I'm doing ok so far. Have been shopping so have lots of good stuff in for the weekend. I have also planned every evening meal right up until Thursday - have never been this organised before!!
Am making chicken tandoori for tea tonight out of the free original recipes book - lots of syns left to have a couple of vodkas and diet coke tonight

ah pineapple - knew I'd forgotten something on my shopping list! I don't go as far as buying the scan bran though - I think I have a packet in the cupboard from about a year ago unopened.

Sparkler, what sort of things are you having for your evening meals then? I need some inspiration!!

I'm having a red day, tuna salad for lunch, chicken casserole for tea. There is enough casserole for about 5/6 people, but me and DH will probably eat it all!!

Well I prepared the chicken tandoori and have it marinading in the fridge for two hours! Feeling very pleased with myself until I put the oven on to cook dds' tea and the oven has packed up. Blimmin marvellous - not!! So I have this lovely chicken ready to go in fridge and there's sod all I can do with it.
Might just phone up and order a huge chinese now.

oh no sparkler, is there no way to cook it on the hob?

It was supposed to go into oven to bake for an hour - guess I could try a bit of fry light and shallow fry or something. Blimey I'd never get a place on Masterchef.

Could you steam it? (nice and healthy!)

If not, I'll have chicken fried rice when you order the chinese!!!

I'm really hungry just now, could just eat a chinese!!!

I don't have a steamer

I've stuck it all in freezer bags now and hope that it will be okay.
we went to pizza hut instead So much for working hard at plan this week. I was really up for it as well. What I am going to do for the rest of the week until I get oven mended I don't know. Shall be having loads of green days and bowls and bowls full of pasta now!

quick question is diet coke counted as a low calorie fizzy drink?

Yes, but have you noticed how many fat people drink nothing but? Isn't that a little worrying? It stimulates the appetite whilst doing little to quench the thirst.

thank you

Steinermum, is there scientific evidence to support that theory?

I've not been doing too bad this week. I was out for a meal last night but had clear soup for starters & roast beef with potatoes & veg for din & a fruit basket for dessert Was yummy!!

Sparkler, what did you have at pizza hut? Are pizza high in syns? I have a food directory book here somewhere I must look, as haven't had a pizza in ages.

I know I have read studies about it and will try to track them down for you.

Are you following SW diet plan Steinermum?

No, I'm sorry, I'm not. I'm poking my nose in!!

How's everyone doing this weekend??

How could it be true that if you puree a banana it has 0.5 sins, but eating it whole has none. Does this mean that fresh smoothy made from nothing but fresh fruit actually contains lots of sins? If so, how???

Its because fruit that is pureed is less filling than a banana you eat whole, less satisfying. You can eat more pureed banana than you can eat it whole so to stop you getting carried away SW put a syn value on it.
Same with stewed fruit and fruit juices.

If onlyhewould is right

How is everyone doing?

I've been struggling a bit this week!
