New Slimming World Support Thread

SpiritoftheSouthWest

Good moring everyone

It looks like good news this week as I have just weighed myself and appear to have lost 2 lbs so far. Writing everything down as I have eaten seems to work for me. I have visitors today; so I'm hoping I don't wobble of the straight and narrow. Here's hoping.

Well seeing as we are on a new thread with lots of names I've not seen before I thought I would just offer up my Sw sheet again.

I have created a spreadsheet for things slimming world related. it started off as an alternative to the food diary as I find the ones you get at group are too small and not enough room, but it has developed since I started it and now includes:

• A menu page with links to jump to each "section"
• A treats sheet - a sheet to add your own choice of low syn/free alternatives to a choc/sweets etc
• 4 sheets for food diary (1 per week)
• a walking log - log time spent walking/steps taken (if you have a pedometer), distance walked, approx calories burned (you can work this out on https://www.walkjogrun.net)
• Links to things slimming world
• an example of how I use the food dairy sheets
• targets sheet - how many days left/ lbs to loose to targets you set yourselves
• syns - keep a note of syn values of stuff you look up/eat regularly

If you would like a copy drop me a PM with your name and email address and I will add you to my email distribution list and send you a copy and any updated versions as I develop it (if I develop) it any further.

Hi folks

Would like to join you all in this please. Have been doing slimming world off and on since DS was born and now that he is approaching 5 I feel that I now have to take the bull by the horns and start it again. This time I am feeling full committed as I have just realised how many clothes I have in my wardrobe and under the bed which are in brand new condition and are too tight for me.

I normally vary red and green days but would be interested in doing the Extra Easy Plan as it seems a little more flexible for the family. Fortunately I have the booklet from my last group (which I left at the end of Jan) and have the mags. So I am going to get my head round it tonight.

I am not going to rejoin a group as I find it awkward for childcare and I work part time, so hoping the support on this thread will act as my 'image therapy'.

Will weigh in on a Thursday morning and will put £2 a week into a jar as my subscription to spend on treats when I reach 1/2 stone milestones.

Not sure about other groups, but we have a few parents at my group that bring their children along and they are no trouble at all.

I did initially join a group but stopped going because of the children there, they caused havoc, they were so loud you could not hear what was being discussed at times. That is why I am doing body optimise at home !!!

Just a warning, but although some people do these, they are not technically a free food, and should be synned. They are classified as a 'misuse of free food' by SW.

If you play by the rules, avoid them - if you want to have them occasionally, then go ahead, but any more than occasionally may well affect your weight loss.

sorry

How is it mis-using them as long as you dont eat them excessively?

Our consultant used to swear by these a few years ago!

Hi Guys

I catch up on this thread every couple of days even though I hardly ever post..... There are some great ideas on here and you all help me to stay on the straight and narrow............. Thanks :beer:

About the misuse of food thing - I don't really get why but I know that it is There are a couple of things like this and I don't even pretend to get it but there are people at slimming world that get paid a fortune to work out what we can and cant have, what syns everything is and what is misuse of food and I am happy to go by what they say!!

I don't see why you have to syn tinned pineapple (or HEB) even if its in natural juice but I do cos thats what I am told lol
