I like the idea of a support thread!

You should really have some super free with that omelette cause the idea is that you replace a third of your meal with it. You could chop mushrooms and onions in to it or even tomatoes. Or make a fritatta out of it with ham and loads of veggies, I love that!
But admittedly I sometimes just have my superfree as a dessert and then I usually go for watermelon which is an addiction of mine. YUMM

Am I correct reading that ham is free? Meaning packet sliced ham?
Thinking of throwing in ham, mushroom and tomato in my omelette to make it up for my super frees?
Bought some digestive biscuits that are only 1 syn each to have with a cuppa later, I found the lowest syn biscuits so I can have a few!! That's my problem, I can't just eat 1 of something, it always makes me want more!
Need to have something each day like you said, I'm feeling really crap today and have a headache.

Also got some muller light yoghurts, I don't think I'm eating enough, hence the feeling rubbish already and I'm only on day 2!

can I eat free foods (like a yoghurt and banana) as snacks in between, I'm thinking of doing- breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner then my biscuits in the evening.
If so am I really going to loose weight like this??
What are your eating habits like during the day?

AngelUK · Oct 11th, 2014, 10:16 AM

Yep ham is free but I would cut off the fat if there is any visible. And yes that sounds like a lovely omelette!
As for biscuits, I would probably eat the whole packet

so I stay away lol

In group my consultant says a lot of new people are worried about eating between meals but you really can do it. I snack on fruit or a yoghurt if that doesn't help i will grab something different but make sure i include it with syns.

Do you like crabsticks? Im pretty sure they're free (i dont like them myself so cant be 100%) some of our group snack on those or cook up a chicken and pick at that (minus skin) whenever a snack attack comes!

Dont deprive yourself. If you can (and haven't got it already) download the instagram app LOADS of people post their slimming world journeys and meals its really encoraging

katerz do the porridge oats have to be plain? can i get the oat so simple apple & blueberry ones or not? Im looking forward to these pancakes next week.

Ok so i didnt even want my biscuits tonight, ive eaten 2 Clementines! Ive been missing out, i havent eaten one for over 6 years and they were amazing lol. i always eat apples and bananas but have clementines, blueberries and raspberries now aswell so i have something yummy to snack on, today is the first time in god knows how many years i have got my 5 a day plus more.

You didn't ask me but I thought Id quickly warn you anyway. Even the Oats So Simple Original pot (so with no added bits) is 9 syns! So I don't think they will fit in with the Healthy Option. I am thinking it is cause it already has some milk stuff in there and probably sugar too but I am not sure. At any rate, in the list for healthy Option B it says 35g unflavoured oats.
How do you feel today? I have AF and feel like a bloated toad! Probably no sticker for me tomorrow

nicki01 · Oct 12th, 2014, 04:32 AM

Oh thanks, I will just get some plain ones then. So if its a healthy extra I don't have to mark it as syns do I? As long as I follow exactly.

I'm feeling good this morning, had grilled bacon, tomato, mushrooms and scrambled egg for breakfast.
Having a yoghurt and banana for lunch and a beef roast dinner, do roast potatoes comes out ok using frilight?
Im having beef, potatoes, lots of veg, and gravy!

Today I think I will struggle not to want to pick later as Sundays I do an early roast at about 3pm so by 7 I will be hungry again! I'm armed with carrot sticks, fruit, yoghurt and my digestive fingers if need be!!

Oh no! I have AF due soon too, took my last pill on Friday so the bloat will be with me shortly! I usually spend the whole week eating so have to try really hard not to cave to the chocolate and redbull!

Katerz · Oct 12th, 2014, 04:41 AM

Yeah what angel said re oats! Use plain ones lol. If using oats as healthy b no need to syn.

My roasties came out fine with frylight. I invested in an actifry which do amazon roasties and SW chips!

I'm hungry thinking about roasties lol

Katerz · Oct 12th, 2014, 04:43 AM

Oh don't flip pancakes too soon as they will turn into scrambled egg!

AngelUK · Oct 12th, 2014, 04:47 AM

Oh my OH makes a Sunday roast every week usually and I loooove the roast potatoes with frylight! They take longer but they are usually just perfect, cripsy on the outside and fluffy inside! And he also puts carrots and half onions in with them and my goodness they are soo yummy, all caramelly! Delish!
Never ever go hungry, it is counter productive and your body will start to conserve energy and you won't lose any weight. If you are hungry later, make yourself a little meal.
Btw some of the ladies in my group swear by these Mug Shots for a little snack. I haven't tried them myself but they are free food.
