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!

oops, forgot to change me name

No it's not just that about pureed fruit it's also because when drinking for example a fuit smoothie your body doesn't have to work very hard in digesting it a sit would if you'd had that amount of fruit whole. Your body burns fat as it breaks down food thus the harder the food is to break down the more energy is used.

Saw firefly's question on Pizza Hut - they do a warm chicken salad which is 3.5 syns on red.

I trained as and worked as a SW consultant and the simple reason they gave us for the syn value of juices, pureed fruit, even chopped fruit is that you eat a larger amount than you would if the fruit was whole, therefore they give it a syn value. This topic always causes a lot of confusion in class.
Some people think it has something to do with the breakdown of sugar in the fruit when its stewed or pureed, thats not right either. Its simply to so with quantity.
SW is fantastic and it does work but it is a calorie controlled diet.

Ahh well I was only giving the reason that my SW consultant told us.

Anyone had any weigh ins yet this week??

Think I have been ok this week. Won't have the 3.5 off, but should at least have some of it off!

3.5syns in a salad? I wonder how many are in a pizza though!!

You lot are all far too busy reading the wanking threads aren't you???

bet you were right impressed with her spiel too ledogy!! Alas, it's not that complicated.

My weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm hoping to be some way towards losing the 4.5lbs I put on last week

And I'll have you know, I haven't been on any wanking threads!!

Hi girls

I have posted a few times on the SW threads but I have been off it for about 6 weeks and I really need a kick up the a*se to get back on it. Dunno what's wrong with me, I was doing so well and one day I just couldn't stop eating rubbish and it continued. I don't know how much I've gained, too scared too weigh and I'm really depressed about the whole thing. Was a lovely size 14 and now it's all ruined - why would I do it to myself???!! What in my brain lets me stop eating properly and tells me to eat junk??!!

So girls what am I doing wrong?? I love SW and know it inside out so I am back on it (but even today it's someone's b'day in work and I was FORCED to eat a doughnut!)....

GRRRRR, I need help!

rhysmiamum x

I ahve my weigh in at seven tonight. Not holding out too much hope as i'd had all my syns by Saturday! Howveer I have been good since and have been on 4 long walks so I hope this balances it out.

The have wanking threads??? Is there anything this website doesn't cover??? Put on a pound and a half this week. So that'll be the 1.5lbs I lost last week then. Eaten two jam and cream scones this afternoon (one "birthday at work" person and one generous bonus ball winner!) ... I am a grubber

Hmm got to weigh in tonight .... I don't want to go!!! Went to stay at mums for the weekend and don't think i stopped eating (or droinking for the whole time we were there ..... Oh well

I MUST GO I MUST GO I MUST GO

Rhyiasmum, bend over for that kick lady!!!! Come on, back to bones!!

I had 4lb off this week Am thrilled!! But I had 3.5lb on last week so I just lost that really

Password is JELLY

I did 3.5 this week.

I gained last week, so I if reckon I had really stuck to it, I could have lost 5lbs but that would still have not made me slimmer of the week. So I am glad I mixed good and cheating.

How many syns in half an easter egg, do you think?

FF2 and LGJ, well done!! I fear I may be letting the side down in the morning! Although I've had my hair cut today, that'll make me weigh less!!!

Grasping at straws???? Moi??

Well done LGJ BAHB Zillions of syns in an easter egg

I can't find my book at the minute or I would look for you!

LOL FF2, that's what I thought!!!

Luckily, I had several zillion syns saved, for just this occasion!! And it was bloody lovely!!

Lucky you!!

Have told Dh I want a nice egg this year Something delicious that I can savour for ages, not just the most massive one he sees in the shop

Something dark chocolate I think

You nearly had it LGJ. Don't know how I lost this week with all the flapjacks I have eaten.....

That bottle recycle - lost his job was so funny .... say it again

I have cut back on wine for Lent.
A friend has given up.
Another two have really cut back as well.

We heard that the local borough council have had to lay a man off the recycling route...

Not enough bottles...........

Made me chuckle .....

Only you could come out with lines like that

Thank you for all the information on pureed fruit versus whole fruit. All the reasons given actually make sense. Well I started SW yesterday. Looked in the mirror after my shower and hated what I saw. Some family members are sick at the moment and everything just got me feeling really down. There is nothing I can do at the moment to help them, so I thought that I should start by helping myself. Had a green day yesterday and served up a delicious pasta carabonara for supper. DH loved it. Clean plates all round. Need to lose this fat and keep it off. A friend gave me some books so I am starting on that. I know that I should go to meetings, but finding it quite difficult with dds. Fingers crossed for 6 week weigh in.
