Get in the swing for Spring - Slimming World support thread 2017

Hi all
Just a quicky as need to get ready for work - not sure where the time has gone this morning.

Breakfast: Peanut butter on toast with berrues and DG coffee
Lunch: chicken, apple, satsumas and yoghurt
dinner: Stir fried prawns with noodles

Morning everyone.

Reading through all the fabulous losses this week well done everyone!!

Managed to stay on plan yesterday which is a small victory for me so here's today's plan.

Breakfast: Wheaties with 2 strawberries and a small banana.
Lunch: HM Spiced Carrot and Sweet Potato soup.
Dinner: Tinned Mackerel Salad (after lots of recommendations I've got the mustard one to try) usual speedy salad stuff with pickled beetroot and red cabbage.
Snacks: Plain Skyr with a bit of fruit salad.

No syns planned for today, maybe a slice of toast and extra light cheese triangle if I need something later tonight. Don't want to spend them on sweet stuff as I'm not confident my off switch is working properly again yet.

Well done on your losses and shinys msm and chocolate teddy.:T

It's scary when you have those gains lantanna but it's not real fat IYSWIM. Hopefully it'll disappear very soon.

piglet, I know what you mean about fruit. Sugar is sugar however natural. I'm also very suspect of filling up on as much free food as you like. I think it's important to have the third Speed (at least) across a day whatever you're eating. Except for a rare banana I look on free fruit rather than Speed fruit as a missed opportunity. I'd say I have 90%+ of my Speed as vegetables especially as I rarely have Speed with breakfast and try not to snack between my (large:o) meals. I think SW is aware of the potential problem which is why some fruits were taken off the Speed list a while back. So I'd say eat fruit if you enjoy it but stick to Speed fruit whenever possible. If you aren't fussed then you'll see weightloss with vegetables.


I'm going to Prague and Budapest greentiger, flying out on Wednesday, 3 days in each with a train journey in between. I'm anticipating that the meals will be quite carb heavy but I'll worry about it when I get back.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB porage, HEA milk
L: probably onion omelette with pickles
baked haddock, new potatoes, cauli and broccoli
Syns: squirt of syrup and tempted to make cheese sauce with the veg


I bought BoB milk for the first time last week. I needed a top up from our little Co-op. Shame Aldi don't sell it as it really doesn't taste like skimmed. Does anyone know how much for a HEA as I can't find it.

I had a shock loss of 2lb at WI on Saturday morning, which means I am now only 2.5lbs away from my target!

I confess I do weigh myself at home occasionally and have found that the scales at group are 1lb under mine, so that's not too bad.

Have had a few things I shouldn't over the weekend - I can never stick to the plan properly over the weekend, but when I'm at work in the week, I'm more disciplined.

Hope everyone has a good week. x

Thanks for the kind comments about my loss so far! Was very pleased to get my latest shiny sticker and a new certificate for the fridge In answer to Lois Lane (I think it was) I haven't set a target yet, as it's always seemed so far off, but to get me to a supposedly healthy BMI (although I'm not a fan of the concept) I'd have to lose about another 5 stone....! Just need to keep chipping away at it.


I see there's been mention of yoghurts - there was a discussion in my group the other week about these which is possibly worth sharing. The gist was that mullerlight (for example) is not a free food, it has 0 syns. Meaning that although you don't have to use up any of your syns on these yoghurts they don't have the same filling/weightloss power as a FF natural yoghurt which has no additional sweeteners, flavouring, etc. Useful to know if you're a fan of the mullerlights, or similar, and have hit a bit of a plateau....
