I'm just waiting for Darren to get home my lasagne smells SEXY! I've just mixed some garlic salt with flora light and spread it on half a barm cake with a sprinkle of reduced fat cheddar for a low syn garlic bread

Hello ladies!! Sorry I've been so absent
I didn't go to my SW meeting today, I've just been so rubbish all week I didn't wanna go and pay a fiver only to hear I've put on again (stupid, I know). I've been a bit stressed out recently with FOB and my ex and trying to find somewhere to live I've basically hit self-destruct. I've eaten takeaways, chocolate - you name it!
BUT, I'm being very good today, got some pork marinating in the fridge for sweet and sour tonight, and I weighed myself at home and I've lost 4lbs??! (though my scales have been known to be lying little *******s). But it's given me the push anyway!
So I've been re-evaluating and looking at everything I eat after being so disheartened last week with the 1/2lb loss, and it seems I've been doing a few things wrong! I didn't realise I was buying Alpen instead of Alpen light - adding on 12 syns per day! And I was buying ordinary Super Noodles instead of the low fat variety - upto 7 syns more! There's loads of things I was doing wrong, so I'm glad I checked.

Hope everyone is doing well!


Mrs Eleflump - the jelly (I think) is 1/2 syn per sachet, if it's sugar free

Ames - the egg noodles are free if they're dried. The straight-to-wok type (I think!) are 1/2 syn per 28g.

DaisyDuke - I couldn't stick at WW either. It really is amazing the things you can eat with Slimming World! While you can eat and eat it is still a calorie controlled diet, so you eat basically as much 'free' food (meat, pasta, pulses), as you need to satisfy your appetite, and if you need to snack then use the 'superfree' food pages, which is your fruits and vegetables etc. You use between 5-15 'syns' per day, which can be like treats or things you add to meals such as butter etc, and they add up to around 100-300 calories, so not that much if you think about it. It just saves the faff of counting really!
Hope your meeting goes well tomorrow, once you get your details I'll add you to the front page if you like

Claire - which pasta are you using? The Batchelors one, if made up without the milk and butter is 1/2 syn

Hey ladies, can I join your thread please? I actually joined slimming world last year and the next day found out I was pregnant lol...so needless to say I didnt stick with it and munched on whatever I wanted throughout my pregnancy (it was lush lol). But now the time has come to shift the 'baby weight'. I'm actually gonna try and do it myself since its a bit difficult to get the meetings with a wee one in tow, so I hope I can rely on your support to help me through. My name is Pamela, I weighed in on Monday at 13st 7lb, with my short term goal being my club 10 target of 12st 2lb. Ultimately I would like to get down to 10st but I know thats a good while off. I'm following the extra easy plan. Looking forward to shifting the weight with you ladies and becoming a yummy mummy x

Afternoon Ladies x

welcome Tasha (daisy) & Palmtree

eurgh well was so crap yesterday evening, had no dinner so went out instead, had tai egg noodles with chicken, which i dont think would have been very high but then the warm chocolate fudge cake with ice cream found me my god it was good but then felt crap for the rest of the night for being so weak so worked my ass off at Zumba x
I think now i have the cake out of my system I'm more determined today just hope I can pull something off tomorrow at WI x
Today:
B- Alpen Light bar (HEb) & tea with milk (HEa) and sweetner
10am - My other alpen light bar & more tea
L- huge salad with FF dressing, sugar free jelly, a mini babybel light (HEa) and fresh pineapple
D- SW Chicken Madras & rice

 

[Amy-Lea]

I have weigh in today- dreading it. I have a sneaking suspicion I have gained weight and last week will of caught up with me as I got away with it at last weigh in.

 

[Reedy]

Good luck with the weigh in Amy x

 

[africaqueen]

Good luck with WI Amy im sure u will be fine hun x

Hi to everyone else and i hope all is well x

I have been good today.

Breakfast- 2 egg omlette with ham. apple.
Dinner- syn free Jamaican chicken curry with rice.
Tea- going to have jacket potato with ham and salad. yogurt.

supper- 2 alpen light bars and glass of milk(hea and heb)

I was feeling a lil bloated today and realised that AF is due on sat so my WI on fri will be crap as i always gain around 4-5lb in water during this time of the mth, but at least i knw that happens and il have a decent loss next wk. Bit disheartening tho
