[africaqueen]

Yep we all have bad days but tomorrow is another day ;-)
I have been good again today and even turned down a offer of going the pub for a few drinks even tho im bored out of my mind cos dh at work till tuesday nite. Really wanted a glass of wine but never so well proud! lol. Also trying to not drink often now other than the odd glass of rose with a meal, as i really want to get pregnant this mth or next mth.

I am having some syn free rice pudding for supper and a glass of no added sugar cordial.
Watching 'the holiday' and chilling.
Looking forward to going to get dh a bday gift tomorrow and a nice card so will be walking round the shops and getting some cardio in ;-) hehe

I'm staying in with Megan today- the weather is pants! Luckily there's no bad food in the house, so I've got no choice but to be good today

AQ - enjoy your walk!

 

[Pink1981]

Evening everyone! Well i've weighed myself and i was 17 stone 3lbs on my scales before i went on holiday and no i'm 16 stone 13lbs!!! Can't believe it!! Unfortunately the SW scales weigh me at a couple of lbs heavier than mine but i was 17stone 4.5lbs last time so it looks like i haven't gained

Hope you enjoyed your walk AQ, and managed to get you hubby a nice present!

We've gota busy week this week so i need to sort out my meals for the week.... i find it so much easier to stick to that way! Its BIL birthday tomorrow so we are seeing DH's family for the arvo. Weds is weigh in day and thurs dh has to go for a meeting with the job centre in the town next to ours and i will be shopping for a dress for a wedding we are going to saturday. I cant believe i have left it this late to get something! Oh well wish me luck!

I've had a really odd day, feel quite down. I'm enjoying the diet (sorry, food optimising! lol) and i'mloving the results. I'm just so annoyed with myself that i got so big... and i'm quite impatient waiting for things.... it feels like 4 stone is just soooo much to lose and i only have 12 weeks free at SW and i don't know what i'm going to after that! Sorry for the downer, just needed to get that out!!

Had egg on toast for brekkie, pasta n sauce for lunch and having chicken rice and peas for dinner. Haven't had nearly enough fruit though or drink.

 

[tiggertea]

I been good today. (I think!!)
Shredded wheat and a kiwi fruit for brekkie.
no morning snack
ham salad for lunch (w. a small -approx 0.5syn- portion light coleslaw since i don't really like it much!!)
strawberries during afternoon
gammon, fresh pineapple, peas & sweetcorn and potatoes for dinner.

 

[Naya69]

well ive just been to weigh in and ive lost 5 and a half pounds whoop thats 15 and a half in 2 weeks so ive received my stone sticker i was so chuffed and the sw people are amazed at my progress i even over heard someone in the quee saying to her friend thats the girl who lost 10lbs last week made me feel good

[africaqueen]

Ooh cant wait till london!! we are off on wed and im going to be taking some mug shots and fruit with me for the room so i can have syn free brekky and snacks and then try to choose carefully when we eat out. Except on the thursday which is my dh's 30th bday, as we are going into china town for a meal and then clubbing in soho so probs have a few syns then... lol. I should manage to dance it off if my back stays ok...

[KittyKatBabe]

Hey girls, you are all doing very well, congrats on the weight loss all of you. I feel like a failure now as I have put 1lb on.........but when I look back at my diet sheet I am over on my syns by 21 , which means the galaxy bar and crisps I had pushed me over the edge!, But musn't lose focus, yesterday was the beginning of a new week, I do my diet sheet Monday to Monday and I am weighing in Fri or Sat.

I know my syns have gone over, but this week I am going to limit my carbs and try and do the red day approach mixed with extra easy on some days.... does anyone have any comparisons of success on red day v extra easy v green days???? Also decided I need to up my free food, so apart from the choc donut yesterday I decided that I would eat more fruit in the day and make sure I have 2litres of water.

Yesterday -

1 crumpet - 5 syns
lunch - bacon, fried egg and beans
Dinner - lamb curry and boiled rice. (curry is syn free as homemade with tinned tomatoes, lean lamb fillet, peppers, mushroom, spinach and curry powder, chilli, ginger and coriander.)

Snacks - doughnut - 12 syns , apple

Today -
b/f - 2 weetabix and skimmed milk
Lunch - cod fillet and mushy peas
Dinner - Either Stuffed Aubergine (with salad) or Chicken and Bacon Salad

Snacks - Natural Fat Free Yoghurt, Satsuma, Apples

Fingers crossed girls, I have 14 days (2 more weigh ins) I am hoping I can lose at least 4lb before my hol, this will let me reach my half stone goal, which I really think I deserve! Scared of losing my diet focus, I just really want to get to 11stone before we baby try and I am so close.................

[Naya69]

in the past 2 weeks ive lost 15 and a half pounds iam so chuffed only started slimming world on the 17th

chicken broth

you will need:

1 medium chicken
chicken or veg oxo cubes round 10 to be on the safe side
onion
carrotts
potatoes
swede
parsnips
mixed herbs
salt and pepper
and some cobs the partialy baked ones are the best

how to make it

*take one medium chicken place it in a pan of water just enought to cover the chicken and leave with lid of to boil for around 45 mins or once the chicken is falling apart.

*cut up all your veg you will need carrotts, swede, parsnips,potatoes, and a onoin if you like i dont bother with the onion tho but its up to you.

* add a mug full of red lentils this helps to thicken the mixture also add salt and pepper and a sprinkle of mixed herbs.

*once the chicken is cooked take out the chicken and check the water for bones or bits of fat and skin then pour over your veg ect. add more water if needed.

*once your chicken is cooled take all bits of meat of it and scrunch up with your fingers so theres not big chucks and add the chicken to the mixture.

*get some stock you can iether use chicken or veg both tastes just as yummy and crush in a bowl oxo are syn free. keep adding the stock to your pan or slow cooker till you think its tastes how you like it i used 7 to 10 cubes for a big pan full but its how you like it. then put the lid on and leave to cook but keep stirring.

* should take about 45 mins extra to cook and tastes so nice i made this by accident i was trying to make chicken soup but ended up with broth just gave some to my friend she said its the nicest shes tryed so thats good serve with your warm cobs and its heaven and you can freeze it
