Be Lean for Halloween with Slimming World

Hello Girls
Do you mind if I join please??? I joined my local class yesterday and loved it so I'm hoping to do really well on it. I find I am much better and sticking to things if I am being held accountable so I have been filling in my food diary and behaving today - I didn't realise I ate so little to be fair - I have written myself a meal plan and either Im just weirdly hungry today or its working.

Ive had
Breakfast
Oats - 35g unflavoured - HeB
Low Fat Yoghurt (I had it to use up) - 3 syns
Strawberries

Measured out the 350ml of semi skimmed milk and still have some left

Lunch was
scrambled egg
mushrooms
bacon (fat removed)
1/2 tin of beans
plum tomatoes

Snack wise I had a handful of chopped strawberries this morning and 4 pickled onions, and this afternoon I had a chopped apple and 8 grapes.

Tea tonight is
roasted chicken breast
Bachelors Savoury Rice 1.5 syns but will share this with my daughter and which has 4 speed foods in it technically but Im going to put some baby sweetcorn with it that we got reduced last night


Have to say though Im struggling slightly because I have a really sweet tooth. Does anyone have any low syn sweet things I can try?? Should also add Im allergic to nuts so I find buying cereal bars hard. ive heard you can have hot chocolate sachets though?

Oh and Im also on my second litre of water :T

Cant wait to speak to you all more and pick your brains - well done to all those at goal - I have 4st to go before Im there. :eek:

Hi everyone

Weigh day for me today and I'm super duper chuffed to announce a 5lb loss - my biggest since starting SW :j I can only assume my body's gone into shock by not having to digest 10 portions of bread a day but I'm not complaining. Hopefully I can keep it up and lose the last 2lbs next week to put me back on an even keel again. Once that's done I'm thinking it'll only be 10lbs till I can say I'm at target, but we'll see.

Hope everyone's having a good day
xx

Fantastic well done you, getting ready to budge up on the target couch.

Gettingtheresometime, it’s exactly as Lois says, re saving syns. I do not go to a group, so I can make my own rules, so to speak. I don’t see how having “35 syns if that’s what you need, then carry on as normal”, ie could be at least 125syns in the week trumps 105 syns for the week. I think sticking to 105 syns altogether makes me more accountable and conscious of what I’m having than just saying to myself I can have whatever today, and then maybe the next day …. And I do go over the score quite often!

That’s a magnificent loss, candyapple.

Come on in, sammy_kaye18, we won’t bite.

Thursday’s Things
Pre-Breakfast: banana
Breakfast: mackerel in tomato sauce on hexb toast
Snack: gingernut (2)
Lunch: hm tomato & basil soup (1 ½ ), apple
Snack: fs Maltesers (5)
Dinner: steak, onions, mushrooms, tomato, new potatoes, WW apple & pear crumble yogurt
Snack: hexa cheese and grapes

Total syns: 8 ½ Syns carried forward: 6 ½ Syns banked: 19

Hi Sammy-Kaye, welcome to the thread, feel free to join in the chat and ask any questions, there's loads of know how here so someone will be able to help.

Regarding your sweet tooth, you have 15 Syns a day so if you try to have free food as much as possible for your meals, you can use more Syns for sweet treats. Chocolate lovers often go for a small amount of good quality chocolate with a high cocoa content, or you could try freezing curly wurlys - they take longer to eat that way. Muller lights are quite sweet (and free food) and you can have Options and Highlights drinking chocolate sachets (2.5 Syns) - try mixing one into some Quark to make it go further.

Good luck on your journey.

:T Great loss candy . You must be delighted.
Well done for getting straight back on it rj.
Sammy kaye meringues are about the sweetest thing I can think of and like flutterby says they make a lovely Eton mess. For a free sweet hit, I like berries (frozen, defrosted) with sweetener and thick FF yogurt. If you want to add meringue, the tiny ones are 1 syn each. Another low syn sweet thing are those pink wafer biscuits. I'd need to look those up but I know lush eats them.
Plans went wrong again here. We needed to go to Ikea so DH suggested we eat there on the way to football. I had egg & prawn salad starter and salmon and chips so just mayo and chips for syns. Could have been much worse.
I'll try sticking to plan tomorrow.
