Be Lean for Halloween with Slimming World

Shalamoo Your breakfast sounds incredibly good. Do you have a link to recipe please? I hope you have a great time with you sister:)

Just wondering if anyone else's group is having a Christmas taster session this week? I have never been to a tastier before and have had a wee google to find some SW Christmas recipes.

Also wondering what people do about setting a goal on a holiday week? I am off on holiday at the weekend for a week. We are staying in a cottage, so have the advantage of being able to cook what I want. I know we will have some meals out though as OH enjoys these and I don't want to spoil his enjoyment. We will hopefully (weather dependent) be quite active as we are going to Aviemore which has loads of outdoor activities. We are planning miles of walking, mountain biking, pony trekking and swimming as well as visitor attractions that involve a lot of walking.

HELP Maman :eek: I haven't lasted half a day. This is what I have had...

Breakfast.. overnight oats B ( ff yogurt mixed berries ) so far so good,

Lunch.. last of my pea & bacon soup. 1 Rivita thin ? and then it went all wrong with half a slice of no crust bread ????
Fried sliced potatoes Very lean ham, lettuce tomatoes sliver of Lancashire crumbly cheese ( not even 15 g ) ?? Ff cherry yoghurt.

Dinner. Chicken breast fillet. New potatoes,mixed veg. Apple.

Haven't a clue regarding Syns for anything nor my HE s

HELP :(

You're doing fine wiz . I don't think Lancashire cheese is a HEA so based on syns you've had :
2 for the Ryvita (or less depending on flavour)
1 syn for the crustless (based on 6 syns for 3 slices)
12.5g of cheese is 2.5 so max 3

That's my best guess so 6 maximum so far I'd say.

Afternoon everyone, checking in to say I've put on 5lbs in the last 4 days There was no real reason other than I think all the stress was getting to me and I just succumbed to 2 indians, a chinese and a lot of chocolate and crisps. Have drawn a line and am definitely back on it again today.

B - Alpen Light bar (1/2 HEB), 2 clementines
L - Speed soup, cherry tomatoes
D - Jacket potato, beans, cheese (HEA), salad
S - Alpen Light bar, quark mixed with options hot choc (2 syns), choc shot (1 syn), 2 clementines

Maybe will chuck some popcorn in there too if I still feel hungry. Have drunk a million cups of peppermint tea today to try and shift some of this bloat! Hope you're all having a good day.

I love the idea of an “inner angel”, Lois. Actually it reminds me of a wee Colombian boy (7) we had in our school, who came to live with his grandparents (very long and sad story, but his nationality gives a clue). He had upset another child in his class – he’d told someone that one of the other boys fancied one of the girls. The other boy was devastated; it was supposed to have been a secret. I had the job of sorting it out. Now the perpetrator was as cute as they come - big dark, smouldering eyes and a Spanish accent (a future heartbreaker). His story was that “The angel in my heart, he say, “Don’t tell!” but the devil on my shoulder, he say “Tell!” and so he did! This came with appropriate gestures - hands to heart, then fluttering on his shoulder. He was a great wee boy; could brighten up your day, but then his behaviour could be challenging to say the least.

maman, I was sewing a Nexo Knights costume for one of my grandsons (as you do) – it’s a challenge to say the least. I’m stuck a bit at the moment, so having to adjust my ideas to make it work. I have a Harry Potter robe to do for my other grandson (that’s easy, which is just as well as I’m running out of time with going away). My granddaughter is getting the HP robe that has been grown out of as she wants to be Hermione Granger. I’ve always got some sewing on the go, plus I’m crocheting 2 blankets and knitting socks as well, when I’m watching TV (not all at the same time, lol). And in between times I make all our cards (still to start on Christmas) as well as some for charities.

Have fun in Aviemore, Prudent. Take a trip on the mountain railway up Cairngorm. It was all snowy up there at Easter last year, but the grandkids were paddling in the loch at the foot of the hill when we came down!

See these foreign people being a bad influence on you, ruby, it is shocking …..

Gobsmacked to report a 4 lb loss this week!

No idea how, other than the breastfeeding, cos I've ate like a pig and had all the wrong things. I've been full of a cold and my baby boy had his first jabs and we had a bad 24hrs after that so I've just had grab n go food like pizza, cake and toast :rotfl: . I'm very grateful to the gods for not punishing me!

I've now lost 13lbs in 6 weeks (think my challenge target was 12lb) which is exactly the same weight as my 10 week old baby boy :j
