Slimming World - Extra Easy weight loss!!

blackberry-rum

well done, Vixie!

I don't buy nuts now because I know if I have them I will eat them ALL. A few weeks ago I had a chilli yearning when I was in the town centre, and nipped into the "health (!) food shop" and bought a bag of chilli nuts - well, I'd eaten half by the time I got to a computer to check the syns, and it wasn't worth saving the rest then I decided. Oh I can be a piggy I can tell you! Mostly I just don't confess. But I do usually keep my syns pretty low so the odd blow out doesn't do too much harm. And as said above, they are so enjoyable

Hi again all

Can someone look at my food for the day and tell me if I'm on the right track?
2 cups tea

skimmed milk (heA)
breakfast - 3 eggs scrambled, portion wafer thin ham (big portion!)

lunch - 2 slices toast (heB), baked beans

snack - Kellog's fibre bar (don't know how many syns?), grapes, mini babybel (3.5 syns)

dinner - baked potato, huge salad with fat free dressing, tuna and sweetcorn mixed with 2 tablespoons light salad cream (2 syns) (potato coated in olive oil pre-baking - 2 syns)

shape fat free yoghurt with strawberries

175ml white wine mixed with mineral water

Am stuffed! And resisting more wine

Found that I was getting peckish around dc's dinner time, picked on the grapes (rather than my usual crisps)

I'm finding it weird not counting points or calories and still can't work how how this will actually work!

Does my day look ok? Any hints?

Morning all hello to the newbies

well done on the losses folks -and those sitting comfy in their now looser clothing:T

Karen -hope your dad is up to the party -if he is anything like my sis -he will be there regardless...she was unstopable ..a party girl to the very last

Well I got on the scales earlier and have lost 3lb :j-in fact double :jas its my star week ... so I need 1 itty bitty lb off next week to get my 1.5st
My mission this week is to deffinitely eat my 15 syns a day :eek:... so todays EE meal plan is:-

• 250ml semi skimmed (A)
• 80ml semi skimmed (2)for yorky
• lemon juice in warm water
• 2 rashers bacon
• fresh cherry tomatoes
• 1 apple
• HM broccoli and asparagus soup
• water melon

:jso that makes 14.5 syns.... as near as damn it ...
Im only having soup and fruit for lunch as hubby is golfing so our main meal will be in the evening -and after I have had bacon I feel full for sooo long soup will be plenty;).
Im not sure how I will get on having a yogurt and a cereal bar -but I could alwaus squidge the cereal bar in this afternoon ..
My plan for today is to get some exercise done on the wii and then settle down with my new x-stitch project -which I keep threatening to do..but haven't yet
Hope everyone is well and having a good weekend

hi that all look pretty good. The only thing is you may have gone over slightly with your syns depending on how many the Cereal bar is. Most of them are 3-6 syns, I would check but im just heading for a shower. so far your syns are 13 before the cereal bar. Thats not too bad at all, you can always take any that you go over by off the next days allowance.

Also instead of using lots of salad cream a good tip is to mix a little salad cream or mayo with fat free fromage frais, you dont taste it but it makes everything go further for less syns.

im the same, i love nuts but my weakness is the Penn State sweet & Spicy Pretzels, I get cravings for them. But ive also had the habit of hiding the evidence or not confessing and I actually start to believe it myself.

Well done Vickie!:T

I'm pretty chuffed with myself. Yesterday I went to an all day crafting event and the lady opposite me and her husband sat and eat a pizza and pizza is the one food I struggle to go without and I sat there and eat my Quorn Sausage sandwich and pineapple! I rewarded myself last night with a little Milky Way which I checked on the SW website and was only 5 syns!:D

cammysmum - I'll look the cereal bar up for you. I need the nutritional information per 100g and how much the bar weighs.
