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

Happy Birthday Maman!

Can't decide if last night was as bad as I thought it would be! Went to a mexican restaurant and had beef brisket burrito with sweet potato fries and frijoles. Had half a jug of cava based sangria. We then went for a drink in another bar and I had an Eton mess cocktail. Can't remember what was in it but it was bloody marvellous! Had two raspberries on top - speed bonus! Then we were naughty and stopped for gelato on the way home. Could have been worse as I was originally planning on drinking more.

Know we shouldn't weigh ourselves at home but I do every morning - I just write it down in a notebook, it generally has no bearing on how my day then pans out! Was happy this morning that the scale still said the same as yesterday morning so hopefully haven't done too much damage.

Back on it today with albeit odd choices as was trying to use things up from the fridge! Hadn't intended on chicken for every meal but breakfast and lunch was using up a pack of cooked chicken slices I had in.
B: Pear and small piece of cooked chicken
L: Remainder of the cooked chicken with beetroot, parsnip and carrot chips cooked in coconut frylight with scwartz chip seasoning

Planning on having roast chicken breast with oxo roasties, parsnips, carrots, brocolli, sprouts, SW onion gravy and will have a yorkshire pudding (4.5 syns) and some bread sauce.

Any ideas on whether this:
Schwartz Luxury Bread Sauce Mix (40g sachet)


7½
71/2 syns for the dry mix or made as per instructions? It will use semi skimmed milk but not sure how to syn. I'll end up having less than half the pack but not sure what to count.

thanks everyone for the replies. The way it works out its 4.5 in a month but i did put on every week in January as i found the plan difficult so the way its been recorded i am still not in negative figures IYKWIM. I'll be honest i have been struggling with this for so long that yesterday totally depressed me and i have eaten everything i wanted to eat but haven't allowed myself. I do measure milk and started eating more speed as well. I feel like my face might not fit with this woman but my daughter is doing so well and doesn't want to change groups. I felt it odd to say there's no rhyme or reason when taking money from folk for a formula that's meant to work but anyway. I will start again tomorrow and get the support I nneed elsewhere (here lol) thanks again everyone your support has helped. I thought i was losing my mind.xx

Jings, I didn’t think it had been so long since I was in!

Anyhow, forgive me, friends, for I have synned – many, many times and so I will be paying my penance on the scales tomorrow. I am just home from a lovely weekend in Aberfeldy.

Congratulations to all losers, hugs to those in need, and I believe some birthday wishes are in order too. I’ll now pop off to try to catch up, then I’ll go try to plan for the rest of the week. Then, as Arnie said, “I’ll be back!”

Evening all

Happy Birthday Maman, hope you've enjoyed it.

:bdaycake:

Still hot here today but the forecast mentions SNOW again. :eek:

DH and I took the opportunity to go for a walk this morning before the temperature rose but I ended up with a blister on the ball of my foot. I was wearing different footwear to normal - the sandals I usually wear have given up the ghost and had to be thrown away.

Welcome back Greentiger - I've been to Aberfeldy, it's beautiful! Did you walk up to the Falls?

Lizzie - well done, 4.5 stone is a great achievement :T How much more do you want to lose?

Small - draw a line on what's past and start again, go back to basics, read your books, check your Syns, keep a food diary and let us be your support group. Lots here got to target without attending class so if you wanted to give up on them you could go it alone with your girl's and our support.

I'll be back in the morning with this weeks result, I've done a few Red days this week and I'm really hoping they've had the desired effect, although Friday's birthday meal out was quite synful, I had mussels to start followed by sea bass but I couldn't resist tiramisu for pud. (It was all delicious tho!)

Happy Birthday Maman 🎉🍷

Having a bad day myself, had a bowl of porridge for breakfast and felt lousy ever since. Not sure if it's the oats (although same oats as every day) or am intolerant to milk as had all milk instead of the usual splash. My tum really hurts though

Happy birthday Maman and have a lovely holiday.

Take it easy I make my porridge half milk half water sometimes just water then I put Almond milk on or Soya milk I generally use Almond on cereal and I don't get tummy ache or bloating.:cool:
