~~> Slimming World Diet Support Thread 2011 <~~ (Part 2!)

[happigail]

Hello everyone, please may I join you all? I joined SW this morning and am gunna try extra easy. Does everyone like doing it? Have you found the results as good as following the colour plans? Some days I'll probably do green, but it would be nice to like salmon with little potatoes or some cous cous!!!

A little bit about me, I am 36, had my little girl 3 and a half months ago,, I didn't gain any weight when I was pregnant, BUT I was already really big.

I really need to do this as my pregnancy flagged up high blood pressure and I have a 10 year old and Kitty and I really want to have at least one baby before I'm done and I really want to be around for a longggggggggggg time.


*EDIT* really sorry, I just realised that I would need to give my weight (OBV!) and I just cant, wayyy to humilating, so just HELLO to all and I will read away!! x

Hi Girls, sorry been awol...but my little girl is not well. She has croup..an awful hacking cough. Been off college this week to look after her and she has been so so clingy. I also finally made the decision today to say no to my offer for midwifery this year, and I will be applying to medical school next year instead. My true true dream of being a doctor I have finally just got a little bit of confidence to go for it. And I have a bit of brain anyway... WI tomorrow. Will let you know how I get on x x

 

[EternalRose]

Africaqueen, Wow well done on your weight loss so far

I never went last week. We had to take Hallie the hospital. This week we haven't really had money to have varied diet, so mostly been good at home with scrambled eggs and beans on toast for lunch and jackets potatoes for tea. Although there has been a few creme eggs, and kinder buenos thrown in, Oh and a papa johns ...

I am dreading going back tonight. I hope to god I haven't gained weight but I think I might of. If I have though I hope It's not over 3lbs and putting me further back than I started. Can't believe I fell off the wagon after my 1st week, I was doing so well and loved doing the cooking. Can't wait til monday so I can have some money and go shopping for lots of yummy salad and stuff.

Found out my daughter has anemia so I need to start buying red meat for the house think I'm gunna have to get over my fear of cooking raw meat now. I think next week I'm gunna make some beef burgers with her out of extra lean mince, make a little game and (get her to do most of the mixing of the meat so I dont be sick )

Arghhh rambled, but yeah, expect me back. I have 8 weeks before my 21st party I NEEEED to lose at least a stone!

I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!

Well done on the losses girls x
Hi Happigail - dont worry about disclosing your weight hun, we're all here to support each other & we're all trying to do the same thing - Lose weight, no matter how much weight that is x

Well I should have had WI this morning but Finley has been really poorly & very clingy, so clingy he wouldnt let me put him down to get on the scales so will WI tomorrow morning instead x Which in some ways works out better for me because I missed Zumba last night because of Finley being ill but I'm going tonight so maybe work off a few pounds before WI x
although tbh I'm expecting to either STS or put on this week x
Going to go mad at shopping this week x I'm going to make burgers too Amy, DH had birdseye ones yesterday & they smelt lush x

 

[EternalRose]

Back from WI, I have lost 4.5lbs this week...
I am over the moon! And I have lost 10lbs in 4 weeks..and that is with a 2.5lb gain last week....EEEEEK big smile on my face. Oh and I have LEARNT from previous mistakes, I no longer do 'treat' days where I would literally eat a 100 syns Instead...I just go right up to my syn limit for the day . So bought myself a little choccie dessert and a packet of french fries crisps and that will do me.

Also, how does Slimmer of the Week work at your groups? xx

 

[Reedy]

Well done ER thats brilliant

 

[daniandbaby]

so with a month and a bit of pretty much eating take out 3-4 times a night, massive bars of chocolate, flapjacks and junk , I had a week off work and wasn't doing much walking and I put on 2lb but I am actually really happy about that, as it has now shocked me back into healthy eating, Im tired of being miserable I need to lose 1 more stone, I lost the first stone in 3 weeks and nothing since coz i wasn't doing the plan properly.

I have set my self a 2 week challenge, I am going back to basis, measuring milk etc as I was just guessing lol I even chucked the batteries of the scales out so Im not tempted to weigh and Im not going to weigh for 2 weeks, As I like to see big loses not 2lb here n there lol. Im back at work tomorrow too so thats good, work at matalan so ur always on ur feet up n down the stock room round n round the store lol.

So today I had

Breakfast: Banana and cofee (hea)

Lunch: Jacket pot , beans and large salad, lettuce, carrot and cabbage.

Dinner will be chicken thighs seasoned in soy sauce n paprika and every day seasoning. Sounds really plain and dull but it is yummmmmmmmmmmmmmy

I always get cravings in the evening so will have a options hot choc coz that fills me up and i can never get through it, dunno y? I could eat 2 family size fruit n n nut bars followed by large pack of crisps easily lol

It's actually quite hard at times isn't it?! I have made some mistakes already!

Milk HE
Honey syns 2.5 I think

Chicken and salad leaves F
Salad cream - Because omg so dry i couldn't swollow it lol!!! 2 syns ish

cod, syn free wedges, green beans and chopped toms with peppers, onions, peas and sweetcorn, my plate of food was huge (is that REALLY ok?)

and then I made a smothie :s oopsie, have since realised this is bad, I used the rest of my milk, muller lite, banana, kiwi and pinapple.

Oh and because I get desperate for sugar a 4 syn shapers bar.

I don't know how to syn the smoothie but it will tip me over 15 syns where I was at 10. BOO.
