get on your sledge and get out lol.

Its started snowing again here too. not as bad as down south though. I felt like you did yesterday and had to get out. I had no fruit at all left, and my kids go mental if theres no nanas.

Don't have a sledge Wish I did though, lol. Was hoping OH would have a snow day so he could stay at home and play snowball fights with me & build a snowman, but no! Selfish man decides to get up at 4am to go to Leeds! Only took him 4 hours :eek:

Snows stopped again, and although I really want to go out, I don't want to go by myself or lug the shopping home by foot. Such a hermit these days

Hi all

I have been reading this forum for literally months and had wanted to join a group tonight. Thing is I'm out quite a few times in the next couple of weeks and have an all-inc hol 1st week feb so there's just now way I'll watch 1 little bit of what I eat then! Thought maybe I'd join almost to ease my way in, knowing that I wouldn't lose and letting my consultant know that. Than I could maybe get used to the food part most days (With breaks for meals out and wine at weekend!!) and really kick in with it after hol. What do you think? Or should I save my money and start after hols?

Also, question for anyone but I think I would struggle mostly with breakfasts.... when it's this cold Muller and banana just doesn't do it for me but I don't like cereal.... any suggestions?

Also, Skint_catt mentioned Penne, Beans and cheese!! Now this is my kind of lunch!!! BUt this is a green day (Or EE apparently) and wondered if you had any srummy suggestions for red day lunch with microwave and kettle available (My ham + chicken salad looks very unappetising at the moment)!

Thanks for any help you can be - I've tried the diet before but gave up when the 3rd weigh in I sts so bit worried I won't have the willpower

ax
PS - want to loose total of 2 stone if poss by mid-May (5'5 and 11st at mo - size 12)

Hi all, I managed to get to work this morning only to be told 2 hours later the office was closing for the day! I'm back home safely now after skidding several times on the way!

My eating plan has gone out the window already, I forgot to take my cereal to work so nibbled on two chocolate digestives. When I got home there was a round of cheese sandwiches waiting for me!

How can I rescue my day?!

Skint_Catt

My breakfast are;
cooked pudding rice mixed with yoghurt (and the fruit if I have it) - green/ee
dry fried egg & beans - green/ee
bacon & egg - red/ee
scrambled egg on toast - (HEB - any day)
breakfast quiche - red/ee

I always struggle for lunch on a red day when I'm not at home, but a home made veggie soup would be a good one - especially in this weather! Or a can of HEb soup. Also I have mushroom/smoked salmon (buy scraps for 80p) pate made with quark on 3 pagen Krisprolls. You could take some breakfast quiche and heat it in the mocrowave (with baked beans if on EE!)

Please don't think I'm being harsh, but your first paragraph shows me a (potential) member who is not committed to losing weight yet.

If you want to lose weight and keep it off, you need to live a life which incorporates all that you like to consume, but in 'limited' quantities.....ie, you have a little of everything but don't binge on anything.

If you start group now, you would still be able to have your social events, but would learn how to manage them without worrying too much about either staying the same or even gaining a little. This is how life works, the idea is that these occasions are just that, occasional, and can therefore, be managed.

If you don't start group till after your holiday in February, something else will come along shortly after that to take you off plan. Do you see what I mean? There's never going to be a perfect time if you let social events dictate your slimming campaign.

There has to be a commitment: this is it, I want to lose weight and be healthy and I am prepared to do what it takes for a lifetime of being slimmer and healthier. Without a commitment like this you'll be forever joining and rejoining because you've 'been on a diet' (which Slimming World isn't) and not learning how to eat healthily.

Having said all that, there are always times when we all know we're going to lose the plot for x number of days. This is fine as long as you limit yourself to those days and then get straight back on track, otherwise it's a slippery slope.

If (or when) you stay the same or gain weight, it's time to start writing everything down and double checking weights etc, not give up coming to group. We all have weeks like this, often for no reason that you can see, but if you know you're following the plan, then you know for sure the weight will come off.

Sorry for the lecture, but it really is a waste of your money to join if you're not really committed, so it's best to decide before you part with it

As for Original day breakfasts, you can't beat bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and some fried bread (all using Frylight of course) mmmmm:p

ETA: you make choices - only you choose what you eat, so if you want to do this you can - no willpower required

could you make smoked mackeral pate with quark and a little horseradish?
