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

Hi all

Not posted for a couple of days as been busy catching up with housework etc.

Thanks for the chart as always Shala and well done to MSM for SOTW.

I am hoping for 2lbs tonight as I want my stone award but not sure if I will get it. I had thought it was 1lb I had to get until I looked at my book this morning and realised it was 2:o. Oh well what will be will be.

Menu for today is:
Breakfast - toast with peanut butter (2 syns) and a banana with DG coffee (2 syns)
Lunch - sw chicken noodles, 2 x satsuma, apple and yoghurt
dinner - Sw mushroom and chickpea curry with aloo ghobi

Have a good day everyone

Thanks for the kind words everyone :grouphug: and i'm sorry that some of you are going through it too. We spend so much time at work and when it's an unhappy place it really affects the rest of our lives.



It's ongoing to be honest, fortunately for us we've had half the department leave since the new year so they need the rest of us to stay (for now!)

Oohhh Maman, what I wouldn't do to be drinking cocktails by that pool right now!



Maybe we should set up our own company and all work together in harmony.. we could take it in turns to bring in the low syn snacks!:D

Take care Kathryn, are you on phased return? Don't push yourself too much, glad there are nice people around to help you x

I'll do a separate post for the chart as it's a bit of a big un!

I like that idea, lets do it!!! :T

I weighed in on Sunday night - lost half a lb (( - 0.5 lb )) - changing my weigh days to Fridays from now on

This morning someone has replied to the letter in the Times. A man has written in today and said that his experience is quite the opposite. He says he was referred to SW by his GP and it pushed him towards healthy eating. He lost weight, has kept it off and also come off all his medication for Type 2 diabetes. That sounds far more like the plan I know. I wonder if the person who wrote in yesterday has even tried SW (or maybe they've tried and failed so they're eating sour grapes).


Another little article of interest is that Weight Watchers have reported a 10% drop in membership and profit. They're trialling a new thing which is delivering boxes of fresh ingredients plus a recipe for points counted meals. The boxes are £35 and contain 3 meals for 2. That doesn't sound too bad but they are probably small portions and I'm very greedy.:o

Last night I had leftover roast turkey, leftover boiled broccoli, cauli, swede mash and carrots. Plus a poached egg. It was yum

I have something like that (minus egg but with loads of pickles) for lunch a few days a week. I love leftovers!:D



When I was getting to target you could have 3 slices of WW bread for a HEB. It's strange bread but not too bad toasted. It meant I could have toast for breakfast and a lunchtime sandwich greentiger. That was really useful but they changed the recipe and now I don't know of any bread that allows that much.:(


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, ham, 2 fried eggs, HEB toast, mushrooms, HEA milk for drinks
L: choice of chilli jacket or chicken with LO veg
cottage cheese 'kiev', SW chips, mushrooms, green stuff (asparagus, broccoli, peas)
Syns: squirt of HP sauce


I'm about as southern as it's possible to be (although not as far as lois;)) so perhaps that's why the HP sauce.

I know there is one bread that allows you 3 slices, as it was mentioned in my group the other week.
Off to see if I can find which one for you.

It 's Kingsmill no crusts wholemeal
