Slimming World - Extra Easy weight loss!!

got-it-spend-it

I used 3 fresh carrots. I wish I'd cooked them before adding them though, as they took ages to soften in the soup. Next time I'll steam them first.

Well day two and started the day off with some fat free natural yoghurt and a boiled egg and toasted soldiers using the bread from my HEB.

Think I will have either a chicken and bacon salad or ham wrapped chicken with jacket potato and some salad for my tea tonight

Going to brave the rain and am off to get my fruit and veg for the week from the market stall now!

WI this morning on dodgy scales which 1st said sts then said lost lb. Stood on them several times after and they all said lost lb so going with that . Am def going to buy new battery today though. Can't believe how slow its going though when i'm doing 100% and even having at least 8 syns a day sometimes more. Oh well at least its going down and I know I don't have much left to lose.

Will post food later as only had breakfast so far and off out in a while.

Have been reading the forum, and what a great lot you all are,. I got some good tips, so thought i would say 'thank you' to you all, and join in!
I've been doing the extra easy plan for 2 weeks, and have lost 7lb! Really pleased with such a good start!
Was very naughty yesterday, and ate a huge choc. chip cookie, but I had no syns the day before, so hope it doesn't make a huge difference!
Think the pickled onion soup sounds yummy-may try that next week!

Hello and welcome to the thread :wave:

you are doing really well so far! I think i huge choc chip cookie is about 10 syns so don't worry about that if you had no syns the day before!!

Today i done a half hour Tae Bo session, i have to say i felt soo much better after punching and kicking the air! (i do wish i had a punchbag sometimes tho!) If only i'd have not let the PMT monster force me into eating half my days syn allowance before hand! Never mind.

As its bank hol weekend and my friend has come home for a few days (which means going on the Razz) i have set myself a flexi syn limit of 100 syns.. so starting from yesterdays "muffingate" and todays sweet and sour scandal I have had 47 syns so far! BUT i am going out clubbing later and as much as i will try and stick to vodka and diet coke i am sure the odd VK and sambuca shot will be snuck in. I'm not a big drinker so when i go out i usually dont have more than 5 so i think i'll be ok! Plus i will be dancing to cheesy dance songs from 10pm til 2am! So i'm sure my syns will have been burned off By about midnight all i wanna do is drink water so i think my body will be nice and detoxed by the end of sunday!

Flexi syns are for those special occasions where you will be exceeding your daily syns limit. The idea is that you set yourself an upper limit and stick to it so that you can enjoy your food/drink and stay in control. You would then carry on with your normal 5-15 syns the next day. It also stops the need to save syns up which usually leaves you feeling deprived.

Feeling really fed up today, not felt this way for a long time just want to eat what I feel like and not stick to sw at all. Really want to pig out on pizza or chinese but I won't get the chance as can't afford it so thats a good thing really. Have eaten LOADS of chocolate raisins today but as thats all I've had so far thats probably why I feel fed up.

Ok am drawing a line _____________________________ on that and will eat free food for the rest of evening even though all I can picture is pizza or chinese [preferably pizza though]. Will be sw chips instead I expect .

Morning all.

i fancy trying the pickled onion soup also as it sounds yummy. I dont have any tinned carrots though and they give me the boke . Has anyone used fresh carrots and how many did you use? I have loads to use up anyway.

I reckon a week of the soup using scan bran to dip instead of bread will give me a good boost lol.

I hate carrots in any form, always have. You should have seen my face as I picked a can of carrots off the supermarket shelf, you'd have thought it was dynamite. As for the faces I pulled when flipping the carrots from the can into the soup .... but you can't taste them once blended.

It works out at 2 parts tomatoes to 1 part carrots and 1 part beans so you can work it out. Plus the pickled onions of course. You'd have to cook the carrots first (barf - sorry) because you only heat everything through. As I said, I blended first whilst everything was cold, then heated it up as I needed it.
