Bellys to Bumps

[twinkle1975]

Just been to make myself a sandwich for lunch - the radishes have gone rotten & my DH has scoffed the last of the cucumber - ham & beetroot it is!

 

[Madgirl]

Way to go twinkle!

 

[EmmyReece]

omg twinks that's fantastic, well done hun

 

[Reba]

Nice WI Twinkle!! Good work

I'm down .4 this week. Not very happy with that number and hoping for a much larger one next week!

 

[EmmyReece]

Well done on the loss Reba it's all down in the right direction

I was meant to weigh in this morning, but left my scales at mum's so will have to do it tomorrow morning instead now

Am feeling full of optimism at the moment, epo is working and I have ewcm, I had a full blown visit, and we're actually at the right time of the month for the first time since we've been ttc

 

[Madgirl]

Good job Reba!!

Thats great that everything has fell in place Emmy!

I'm bloody UP 0.5lb.... Extra easy on slimming world just does not work for me. Never has. Might have to go back to doing green days ie carbs all the way. Quite liking my steak at the moment tho... Will have to go back to Quorn all the time I think

 

[twinkle1975]

Do red days not do it for you Cran?? I used to struggle with SW as DH likes his meat but I love carbs - we could never eat the same thing!

 

[cranberry987]

That's the thing... Wouldn't get rich to eat the same as me Im not rly fussed about meat so red days would just end up me eating no carbs or meat apart from evening meal. Sigh. Also pasta m sauce just stole 10 mins of my life by making me cook their sick flavoured cheese and broccoli pasta. Where's my mushroom and wine?

I might have to do that.... Just fruit and veg during the day then a meal at night. On EE I think maybe I do it wrong tbh. I scoff down sliced chicken then half hour later eat a banana. Can't see why it would make a difference but maybe that's it, need to eat the food together like they say.

 

[twinkle1975]

I'm really tempted by SW as I love carbs but I can seriously eat a bucket of pasta at a time & can't see how that would make me lose weight!

 

[cranberry987]

You'd be surprised tbh. Green always works for me and Im the same - plate of roast potatoes for dinner or big plate of pasta

I'm rly tempted to eat something bad. Starving hungry and sick of bloody fruit.... Rich home soon so he can cook me something. Feel like I just need calories putting in me. Gah! Stupid scales.

 

[twinkle1975]

Fruit is very tedious after a while isn't it!?

I bought 3 packs of ww chocolate bars on Thursday - M isn't home til 8.30 and I'm hungry now - will have to work really hard not to eat them all!

 

[cranberry987]

Ok enough moaning. It's only food and constant gnawing hunger... Going green and making rich do it too. Can't do EE obviously.

Made https://www.clarkagency.co.uk/GreedyPiglet/?p=118 last night

Tastes really fake sugary but it's cake.... Spread chocolate Philly on!

 

[Lisa84]

My friend cant grasp EE either. She just doesnt seem. To lose doing it but then my mum cant lose on anything other than EE. Weird how different peoples bodies react xx

 

[twinkle1975]

Just had mashed up banana with chocolate philly - yum yum & only 2 ww points!

 

[cranberry987]

I'm eating choc Philly now. Alternating it with cheese. Rich refuses to eat green so I'm gonna have to crack EE. More veg probably.

 

[cranberry987]

I think I might be doing sw wrong, any advice? I eat 1/3 fruit/veg all day but in the evening I have to eat my syns and healthy extras which I haven't eaten yet. So that's usually 120g cheese, pot of choc Philli and a club. But I don't eat 1/3 fruit/veg with that.

I dont even want this stuff, I feel like I'm constantly eating from about 8pm but have to have it as I'm bf. I've tried spacing it out during the day and the best I can do is two or three hex and I have to eat 6!

 

[EmmyReece]

What about sandwiches or pitta breads hun? You could do a salad sandwich with cheese, which would use a couple of hexs up. Can you get vegatarian sausage meat? As you could always make scotch eggs and use bread for the breadcrumbs on the outside. Or using extra cheese in pasta?

I'm honestly not sure what to suggest about the syns, the only thing I can think of is using them on sauces or spreads on toast?

 

[cranberry987]

At the moment rich makes me a chicken sandwich which uses two hex and he rest of the day I eat fruit and yogurts. Can't rly get round to eating much more and the cooking needed for other things wouldn't get done

 

[EmmyReece]

What about soup? You could always use some syns on that if you haven't got time to make one from scratch (which is totally understandable as you have your beautiful baby boy) and it would be another hexb choice
