Slimming world advice please :)

[nicki01]

I imagine you have probably eaten it by now but yes I thought it was nice for a ready meal!

 

[AngelUK]

yep I had and I liked it! Not as much as the salmon pasta one but I do think they are vey nice for ready meals. SO different to the WW ones which I never liked!

 

[nicki01]

I've never tried the ww ones. I've only got a chicken tikka masala one left in the freezer as they didn't have much there when I went. I won't eat them very often but I want to try them all and then have a couple in the freezer in case I'm low on food or need to eat quick etc
Need to remember to put my vouchers in my bag and go back.
Does anyone know of the duck that Iceland sell that is free? I remember sw saying about it but I can't remember what it was called so I can't look for it!

 

[topsy]

i want to try the salmon one xxx

 

[lola_90]

Nicki - I'm not sure about the duck. I know my consultant said that they would be going round Iceland in the next week or so and working out all the syn free food they sell.

Angel - the WW meals are horrible, the expiry date is so long it's scary to think what stuff they use to keep it for so long!

 

[AngelUK]

Agreed!

Lost 1lbs, which I didn't expect as AF is here, so I am quite pleased. I did try and drink lots of water and had herbal teas too so that might have helped. There is a lady in my group who swears that drinking 2L+ of water a day helps you to lose weight. I really must try harder. I drink waaayy too much coffee and exchanging it for more water would be so beneficial in many ways!

Hope you are all doing well too xxx

 

[nicki01]

Well done angel, I don't drink enough water either. I forget lol

 

[lola_90]

Well done Angel

I filled my 1.5l bottle up and still have a third left. Drinking more is harder then I thought!

 

[AngelUK]

it is, isn't it!? I haven't had any water yet but plenty of coffee! Argh!

Hi guys. First day back on slimming world today. Hoping I'll last more than 3 days this time.
I am disgusted in how heavy I've let myself get. I'm heavier now than the day before I gave birth.

Day one went ok. Shreddies and grapes for breakfast, jacket potato and salad for lunch and one of the Iceland meals for dinner (it was surprisingly delicious!)

Can anyone recommend me any quick and easy breakfasts? Rio has toast most mornings and I used to too, but can't have the thick white bread dripping with butter anymore so need other ideas lol. X

Hello Kirsty

I have the ultimate in lazy breakkies lol: I beat together two eggs, add a sliced tomato and bung the whole in the microwave for 2 minutes. Lovely easy scrambled eggs!

Btw be careful of grapes, as they no longer count towards your 1/3 superfree. It has been changed. They are still free foods but not S foods of which you need to eat 1/3 each meal. xxx

 

[nicki01]

Hi Kirsty.
I'm also lazy with breakfast and have a muller light yoghurt with fruit!

 

[lola_90]

2.5 lbs down this week! Got slimmer of the week last week and slimmer of the month this week! Only .5lb till i get my 1.7 stone award!

What does everyone have for breakfast? I want something that is quick and doesn't use my heb. As ive found the salted caramel hi fi bars are so nice in the fridge and want to have that as my heb some days. At the moment I am using it for 2 slices from a 400g loaf of wholemeal or two weetabix xx

on another note have got a fitbit and have only done 5113 steps today! Need to get moving to reach 10,000!!!

 

[topsy]

Hi kirsty hun I have eggs, magic pancakes or greek yog and fruit or a banana when on the go!!!

Well done Lola hun on slimmer of the month

xxx

 

[AngelUK]

Well done on your awards and SO close to stone and a half! Brilliant!

I usually make my lazy scrambled eggs with cut tomatoes in the microwave. I always think fruit in the morning will make me hungrier sooner cause of all the natural sugar, where as protein will make me burn more steadily. Might be total illusion though.

 

[lola_90]

Your right I always feel fuller after a protein rich breakfast. Might try the eggs in the microwave - less washing up!!

 

[topsy]

^^I was thinking the same thing xxx

 

[kirstybumx3]

Thanks! I didn't know about the grapes
Oooh yes eggs why didn't I think of that. I love an omelette!
I haven't got a local group that I can get to with ease with no car at the moment so I joined online. The only downside is not getting the hifi bars, I love those!
What are the flavours these days?

 

[AngelUK]

I only know the rocky road one as I had one pack of those and decided they are WAY too hard to not gobble up just in one go so I never bought any more lol
