Slimming world advice please :)

App is only for paying members I am afraid.
And Strawberry wine is sadly not free. If you cook or mush or smoothie fruit or berries, you have to count them as syns sadly as they are then changed and do not have the same filling power as they had when raw. As an analogy to this: imagine eating 20 grapes, they would make you feel like you had a nice snack and you would probably feel quite satisfied. Now imagine eating 20 raisins. Not the same filling satisfying effect at all! You'd want more to fill you up. But you already had the same calories as you did with 20 grapes!

I am almost positive I have not lost anything again this week so I am planning on doing a food diary and show it to my consultant next week. I must be doing something wrong. I have don't small portions, that is true but if I load up on veggies like I do, I don't see how I can overeat either.

This morning I had a lie in and only had an apple and of course coffees with skimmed milk

Lunch was a big portion of mixed veggies (carrots, peas, cauliflower, broccoli) half a snap pot Heinz 5 beans (shared it with my boys), a tablespoon sized scoop of cottage cheese, and a few baby new potatoes (from a small microwaveable bag shared with one of my boys). Dessert was watermelon chunks.

I will have my HEB as a snack later on in form of two toasted wholemeal slices from a 400g loaf with either cottage cheese or quark and cucumber slices

Dinner is cauliflower cheese as OH fancies a take away for himself. I might have more melon as a dessert.

Keep a food diary I've been using the SW one online and the sheets given from the book. I eat a lot but I've got a lot to loose

 

[AngelUK]

Yes I hope it will help.
I still want to lose more than 2 stone. I have lost almost 2 stone. Sounds like loads! But I only need to lose 3/4 stone to be at my prepreggo weight and in a weight zone I am more comfy in. So for now I am concentrating on that.

Was doing so well until last night when i wnet t make tea and realised i had frgotten to defrost/marinade the lamb i needed so we ended up getting takeaway. But i havent used many syns at all this week so there was enough to cover having what i had. Just hoping it doesnt affect my loos to badly, was really hoping to get right through the week on just SP food. Oh well back on it today and weigh in tomorrow so we will see

Made the pea and ham soup in the new recipe book in the pack for lunch its really nice.

It's very nice. Loads cheaper than buying wine, costs £8 for 6 bottles. Takes around 3-4 weeks to ferment and clear.

 

[lola_90]

Starving Marvin's today! Cannot wait for dinner! Have 9 syns left so might have some Topcorn whilst watching The Good Wife

 

[AngelUK]

Me too! Cannot wait to have dinner lol

 

[lola_90]

Feeling very proud of myself? Haven't eaten this well for ages! Three days in

What do you Ladies do for exercise? Don't have time for the gym but was thinking about doing some workout DVDs at home plus walks with LO and swimming once a week x

 

[lindseymw]

I walk to & from the Kids' school 2-3 times a day, which is about a mile each way.

Was thinking of starting 30 Day Shred again

 

[AngelUK]

I am far too lazy lol. I should though I know But I am shattered come the evening and in no mood to exercise after 8 when the boys are in bed

 

[lola_90]

You must be Angel! I've suddenly got lots of energy, not sure if it's down to the Pepsi max I drank or all the fruit and veg I'm eating

Feeling peckish so having peanut butter with apple slices 4 1/2 syns - no chocolate for me today! Haven't had a day like that for years!!

 

[AngelUK]

That is another thing I really love about SW! It is really healthy and I have not had that much fruit and veggies in years! So even if I am not losing rapidly, I know I am eating healthily

 

[lola_90]

So true! I've resurrected my diet journal from when I did WW and although my meals were healthier compared to before I am eating a lot more fruit and veg with SW.

I've told my OH my diet 'rules' so he can keep an eye out!!

 

[Katerz]

Just started zumba on Mondays with a few SW ladies and I got an xbox kinect off eBay which I will do...when I get the correct connection cable!

I'm looking at getting a weighted hula hoop too

I told my DH my diet rules and he just looked at me, got up and got a chocolate biscuit....

 

[AngelUK]

Mine helps me where he can but he still stuffs his skinny face with jammie dodgers and chocolates in front of me.
