Slimming World Syners Sept 2010

[flutterbaby]

Anyway, now that I have both hands back... I can't believe I've been doing SW on and off for over 8 years and I only heard about syn free crisps last night!!
For anyone living in 'darkness' like I was...
Take a spud, don't need to peel it really (waste of time if yuou ask em!) and slice it thinly - a mandolin or cheese slicer - spray a plate with fry lite then lay out slices in a single layer and spray more frylite. You can season them now or leave out the salt if they're for kids.
Fire them in the microwave for 3 mins on high, then take them out, turn slices (watch out the plate will be SERIOUSLY hot!) then another 3 mins on high... I was astonished, but it actually worked! You might need to twek the timings a bit depending on size of plate and power of microwave - 2 and a half is better in ours... enjoy!! My consultant assures me they're free on green or extra easy!!

i have them altho i cook mine in the oven peel if wanted slice into chips or wedges if want skin on put in water and boil on hob for about 4 mins until water in warm don't boil as they will be like mush drain and paper towel press dry fry light pan spread chips out frylight chips i add salt and pep or cajun for wedges for a nice change then i put in a pre heated 200 oven for approx 15 mins lush

Looks like you have the right attitude hun and i'm sure you will do very well before Feb 2011. You always just need that pull of something that makes Slimming seem so much more important

How much do you need to lose to get to 30? I need to lose 12lbs to get to 30 and 40lbs to get to 25 ooft xx

Thank you! It's taken me a few days to get used to it so have been going over on my syns and I also have extra HE As and Bs as i'm breastfeeding I've discovered.

Today I had:
B - Bran flakes & soya milk & a banana
snack - 6 almonds and some raisins
L - Tuna, broccoli & cherry tomato pasta
snack - small milkyway
D - Free beef chilli and rice

Wished I'd saved some syns for a sweet snack this evening though... Friday night in and I'm used to puddings. Meh!

[Lisa84]

Im doing fine thanks hun. Im feelin very motivated this week after a 2lb gain last week. Ive not had one slip yet? Im currently clutchin a glass of wine but it is fully syned and in my allowance xx

 

[africaqueen]

well done you! how long have u been on plan? xxx

 

[Lisa84]

Weeel this time 5 weeks. I have stopped and started about 5 times but like i said before im determined this time coz it means more to lose the weight than just lookin better xx

 

[Lou1234]

all!

I haven't posted in a while - been shying away from it!! I stayed the same the week before last which wsa lucky - I had a bad eating week. Bread and cheese started sneaking in along with the odd bar of chocolate.

That carried on to last week but not as much and I put on 1lb.

That was the kick I needed. Got to work early on Weds and went to Tesco and stocked up on fruit. Got myself apples, pears, kiwis and bananas which I worked my way through for the rest of the week. It really helping having a supply of fruit for when I got peckish. I'll be doing the same again on Monday morning.

So my stats for the front page are 1lb gain, lost 7lb so far and think I have 41lb to go to my first goal which I'll re-think when I get there!

Yeah me too but deffo in it for the long haul now. Just cannot wait to see my bmi hit 30 so we can be referred to the fertility clinic and finally get on that waiting list for ivf i wanted snacks tonight so i ate a few satsumas and a apple so really proud of myself that i didnt cave and hit the sweets! lol.

morning all, had a so-so weekend... 24 hours off plan, which is very unlike me. But I'm not too mad at myself as I knew it was likely to happen and it was controlled not binging, which for me is a big step.
Hopefully one day out of the week means I could still maintain or even lose this week!

 

[Lisa84]

Aw hun i wouldn't worry to much about it. I purposfully give myself one day a week where i have a treat. It's usually a takeway. I find if i don't give myself a treat then i fall off the wagon in fab style and binge the whole week.

As long as you have been good the rest of the week the flexible syn system will kick in and you should be fine. I have barely any syns during the week and i use my syns for things like sugar in my tea and marg on my toast so don't use that many on a day to day basis xx
