Slimming World

Give SW a go stressedoutmum. There is much less weighing and measuring to do, and sometimes you can avoid it altogether (it's usually only things like cereal that need measuring) You will get a book which will explain everything, you don't need to buy special foods (you can probably still eat some of your weight watchers stuff! ) Give it a couple of weeks, it usually takes a little while to settle in to it.

Well done everybody on your weight losses!

I rejoined properly tonight.. put 4 pounds over the last 6 weeks (has it been that long?! I meant to miss 3 or 4!) could be worse.

Food today:
Breakfast: couscous with Activia light yoghurt (Free)
Lunch: Red Thai style chciken breast fillets- tesco (free) salad (lettuce,carrott, red cabbage) (free) melon mix (free) 3x babybel light (A)
Snack: Hi-fi bar (B)

just deciding what to have for dinner (a bit late, i know) but it's so hot I haven't felt hungry.

Dinner: quick chicken stir-fry (free) Chicken, dark soy sauce + chinese 5 spice. Stir fry veg with light soy sauce. (Free)

Really thirsty now though... all that soy sauce! But it was yum...

Can anyone give me some syn help for Marks and Spencer fat free yogurt, 200g. In toffee flavour and cherry.

I accidently (!!) had one of each today and am hoping they are not too bad as they have no fat......

Many Thanks x

Hi! Did everyone have a good weekend? I've been super good since Thursday and have had only 18.5 syns so far. Starting to feel a hankering for a mars bar though... think I'll get some Mars Planets tomorrow. 9 syns for a bag, as opposed to 14 for a standard Mars Bar! :eek:

I've made a strawberry mousse for tonight (recipe on SW website in recipe archive 1.5 syns per serving) will have it with some strawberries and some cream (Anchor light squirty cream= 1/2 syn per tbsp, or 1 syn 12.5g- enough to go with strawberries and mousse!) so looking forward to that

Also- I'm now addicted to M&S Arbroath Hot Smoked Salmon flakes- 1 syn for whole packet. It is loverly with salad nom nom nom

I've got a cat... he's not very keen on walking on a lead :rotfl:

I am going to try and make a major effort to walk part of the way home every night (I work 17miles away so to far to walk all the way, but the last 2 miles or so is do-able )

oh dear 2lb gain this week but was totally worth it.

Just a few hours ago i was sitting on skeggy seafront eating proper chips and mushy peas. Been away for the weekend, drinking wine, eating doughnuts and eating a massive (and i mean massive) carvery roast diner. Gonna go straight back on it tomorrow though x
