SLIMMING WORLD - Summer's almost here.....let's lose those lb's!

[toadette]

Hi everyone

Nice new thread for us all x

Had a really good day but blew it last night by having a couple of glasses of wine, then got the nibbles and ate the crisps I had bought for dcs

I have given myself a good talking to this morning and I WILL have a good day today. I have counted up the syns I have used this week already so I will be eating mostly free foods and HE's from now until Tuesday.
Running tomorrow and hopefully again on Sunday.

I reckon I put on 2lbs over bank hol so just want to make sure I've shifted that before weigh-in.

Well done everyone on their losses

SWLurker - have you tried Imigran, you can buy it from the pharmacy but I would get the doc to prescribe it to you, I used to take it and found it very effective if I took it as soon as the migraine. Can't take it now as I'm not sure that they'll let me have it since I am breastfeeding.

Hope you're feeling better today, lurker

Aww thanks you guys! Am feeling much better today. Think its the heat, I don't get them very often at all.

Nappyaddict - let us know how your mashed potato pizza turns out - I've made it with smash before but not normal potatoes.

does anyone know the syn value for a zap ice lolly?

Who makes them, NA? I'll check my syns directory.

I suffer with migraines so I wholly sympathise! The last thing you wanna be doing is shakin' up some syn free chips or opening a can of beans!

I'm trying to have no syns until tonight as having a curry - yum!

But I am going to not have any poppadums, chips, samosas or anything other than the chicken biryani, OK I've said it here now I must actually do it!!!

Morning everyone!

I lost another 2.2 pounds this week, making a total of 12.2 pounds now in 4 weeks. I'm really pleased! I'm aiming for the first stone either next week or the week after.

Stll a heck of a long way to go (another 85.4 pounds ) but it's a good start.

I've managed not to slip even once so far, and on Wednesday night I treated myself to a couple of glasses of wine, seeing as I've been a wine free zone since I started. Blinking lovely it was too.

If I have another good month, I might do it again

Hope everyone else is ok.

Just been to Asda, and they had those Muller Amore yoghurts on 5 for a £1, normally 68p each!

Only problem is they are 8.5 syns each!!!!
They are rather lovely. Think I might freeze them to make them last a bit longer!

toadette i think its someone called treats or treatz.

3.5 syns, NA

really is that all?? excellent i love these from the ice cream van but thought they would be really high in syns!!

online it says zaps are 5 syns. toadette is your directory the up to date one?

hmmm i really fancy some chocolate now but i don't know what to have. we've got got milkybar chunky which is only 7.5 syns, smarties, galaxy rippe or time-out which are all 9 syns and milk chocolate buttons which are 8.5 syns. or i could go to the garage and get one of those heaven bars which is 8 syns. it's a shame i don't like dark choc cos they are 1/2 a syn less not that 1/2 a syn is going to make much difference!! hmmm maybe i should go for that cos the walk will burn some of it off haha.

Slap me!! Seriously, slap me!! I am a BAD slimmer!!

(furious at myself for letting chocolate chip cookies tempt me and lead on to white bread and BUTTER!!!)

No slapping needed lurker, sounds like you've already beaten yourself up!!!

Don't stress about it, just try and pick back up tomorrow.....

Although saying that I just had an email from an old friend I used to work with and who lost tons of weight on SW - she has put it all back on and more, she said she got to target and got so fed up she packed it in and it just piled back on. Feeling now at thought of working hard to lose weight only for it all to go back on!

Hi NA, my book's the 2007 one. Zzap lollies (70ml) are listed as 3.5, have just doulbe-checked for you. Maybe they are a different size now or online have quoted you for 100ml?

That's a shame about your friend, sticktoit, really puts emphasis on seeing this as a long-term approach

Lurker!!!!! Refined carbs, tut tut..MMB will put you on the naughty step if you don't stop now

nope syns online says 5 syns for 70ml. it must have changed for 2008.

thankyou. actually, amazingly I went back on plan last night, and in total probably didn't have more syns than if i was drinking!

Its toooo hot! Just spent 2 hours witha wheelbarow and fork doing jobs around the horses, so surely thats good exercise. I'm in a weird eating mood at the moment - think I'll go shopping in a bit and buy loads of intersting things to have in a salad, but i'm worried salad won't fill me up enough. Anyone got any good suggestions for salad?

letuseatcake - aww bless hope you're back to full strength x

had a fabbo green lunch today

In a big bowl mixed pasta, tomato, red onion, cucumber, chopped boiled egg, HE1 grated cheddar, all mixed up with a dollop of extremely low fat mayo - 1 syn

So easy, yet very tasty

Well for once I managed to MOSTLY stay on track over the weekend (I find weekends most difficult)

one healthy B too many (6 syns) and about 4 syns too many - so I am hoping to have a few less for the next three days and then on weighin day I am hoping to see a loss

how many syns do most of you allow yourselves a day - and does anyone do a weekly allowance then count down durning the week to allow a little more flexibility without using flexi syns

SS, I do the countdown and find it works well (when I'm sticking to the plan!!)

How does everyone else finding the hot weather affects your eating? Some days I still just really fancy SW chips, so wait for the evening to cool down before I eat, others I'm eating salad instead. Its not my favourite food of all time though, does anyone have any good cold food ideas?

Hey all, lush weather isn't it!

Super - I have 10 syns a day and generally go by the daily allowance rather than as a weekly but if I have a flexi day early on in the week I try and make sure I don't go over the 70 before WI day.....if that makes sense??!

I was quite good this w.end, although couldn't resist some freshly baked baguette yesterday with melted butter and some of the kids cheese ball snacks .

I'm weighing in tonight and I'm saving a huge choc chip muffin for tonight as my treat!

Fingers crossed, I need 1lb loss for my 1/2 stone award.....
