I log my food eaten every day using www.myfitnesspal.com's app, I find it easier to have something mobile rather than a piece of paper.

Ive stuck to SW Green religiously today - eaten 3 sins (saving em up for a couple of vodkas on Monday) , 2 HEX B, 1 HEX A, but I've also eaten 2000 calories!

I rly hope that this food combining thing works, altho today was a saturday so I was around food constantly.

 

[africaqueen]

Cranberry- It deffo works! lol. I prefer extra easy tho cos i like potato or rice with my meat and i lost my first 16lb quite fast on it xxx

Naya, enjoy film - I'm too sappy to watch it - cried at Nanny McPhee yest

Ells, so sorry you've got all this going on chick, don't be worrying about updates, sort you and your family out first - take care xx

 

[baby-diva]

i stick with extra easy too - i find it easier - i love pasta and potatoes too!!!

 

[africaqueen]

Hi girls.
How are we doing? Well due to the fact my jaw is so swollen that i cnt chew any food, all i have had all day is juice. I am making some mash potato with mince for dinner as il be able to suck it to get flavour. lmao. Im using my syns for some lucozade cos need the energy with no being able to eat much hoping to have lost at least 3lb by the time i get weighed on fri due to this. haha.

Maybe try some nice cold yogurt? Ive been eating the Muller lite orange with choc sprinkles frozen - oo so nice. would be soothing on the gums i bet.

Im having a bit of a stress about going on holiday in 3 weeks. Going to germany which apparently doesnt really do quorn or veggie things in general, we'll be in the camper van with a teeny tiny fridge so cant take much with us. I will be taking reduced fat ready sliced cheddar with me tho, can never find it anywhere outside of the uk.

have spin class in an hour, went to fitness pilates this morning which was ace, would be good to go to spinning too, but meh.

I also made carrot cake yday with scan bran and weetabix, is ok in small pieces - the quark on the top is still quite bitter even with sweetner and a sachet of white choc options in. Ridiculously low in syns tho, about 12 for the whole thing.

 

[africaqueen]

Oooh i have been eating the choc orange mullers aswell an they are soo yummy
I have been having ice lollies too which is soothing for my sore gums. No wonder babies whinge a lot when they are teething! lol.
Your holiday sounds like fun! if u eat out an order fish or meat with potatoes and salad etc u will be fine. I dnt think holidays are the time to deprive yourself so enjoy the odd treat and just get back on track when u get home xxx

 

[catkin1508]

hi all how have we been. sorry for not being around much had my dads 60th birthday just gone! Was a bit worried about putting on but got on the scales this morning and STS so fingers crossed it stays that way for tommoro!!

As im now living on a budget anyone got any evening meal suggestions thats still on the plan? xx

 

[4magpies]

[africaqueen]

Hi girls.

Glad to have u back magpies! ooh i would love a wiifit! hope u enjoy it.

Catkins- I am always on a very low budget for the plan(£20 per wk) and i manage to have some variety although not a great deal. Here are some cheap meals for you...

Jacket potato with beans
asda smart price chilli con carne(1 syn whole tin) with rice and added onion and chilli powder for extra flavour.
Cheese mug shot(2.5 syns) mixed with cauliflower.
Syn free spag bol made with lean mince, onion, tinned toms, carrots, chilli powder and salt.
Mashed potato with spaghetti hoops.
Home made syn free chicken curry.
Eggs with syn free chips and beans

There is quite a lot of cheapie meals that are syn free and i manage it but wish i had more variety! lol.

Well i have yet to eat anything yet cos of this jaw and lack of sleep but might have some yogurt soon as it will sooth my gums xxx

 

[4magpies]

It's good AQ! I even weighed our puppy!! He is 3 & 1/2 stone so far!!! He is gonna be a big boy. Lol.

Hope your jaw feels better soon darling!! Mwah.

xxxx

One thing I used to live on was :-

Quorn Swedish Meatballs
Tin of chopped tomatoes
Chilli flakes/powder
Mixed herbs
Chopped onions
Pasta
Some Parmesan

Fry the onions in frylight til theyre soft, add Tomatoes, chilli, herbs and meatballs, simmer to concentrate it slightly

Mix with cooked pasta, serve with parmesan

It is totally lush and can be done without meatballs if you like - i find that a pack will last around 3-4 meals tho so doesnt work out too much

Also, just plain old syn free roast potatoes - can sit and eat them over an evening if you dont fancy a meal, cheap as, hm, chips

 

[sugarkane]

Catkin im on a budget to and I love this meal...Linguine pasta, bacon, mushrooms and 2 spoons of reduce fat green pesto with a little cheese on top. Ive also found that now I have a lot of the herbs and spices I need I can make cheap meals by just adding whatever reduced meat the supermarket has when I go in.

The only way I can keep on budget is to plan my meals using various slimming world recipe sites then check out the price online before I go to store, I know its very long winded but if I dont do that I get in a real pickle. My budget is about £50 for 4 a week, not so good when we need nappies.

Ok while we are on tips what do you do to aid your loss? I cheat myself into thinking I have more cheese than I have by using the smallest grater.

Weight loss not going great this week as I still cant do any exercise at all, really just want to get up and do Davina but its just not worth it, keeping my fingers crossed that I do still loose something this week.

Very proud mummy today by little boy has taken his first steps, god help me now with them both running around me.

i love my wii fit too i cant help but weigh myself everyday it helps to keep me on track during the week.

i weigh josh hes 2 stone 2 and my dog is 4lbs shes so tiny a mini yorkie.

i weighed myself today and ive lost 3 lbs this week but i have weigh in tonight so we will see because it was a bit out last week.

iam making a chicken broth for tea in the slow cooker its a life saver when ever i need to go out i just keep it on

 

[4magpies]

Thats good naya... aww how sweet compared to my lump of a dog. He is a boxer and only 8 months!! Lol. Gonna be a big boy.

I've been thinking about buying a slow cooker... bit apprehensive about leaving it on all day... I'm a bit OCD about electrical things.
