I didnt lose and am not sure why as I was lighter on my scales yesterday and have been pretty good...

I did win the raffle though, great prize, a big tub of herbs planted out, coriander, chives, parsley, mint and basil. Isnt that a lovely idea? I was well chuffed

don't be down hearted Sian,come on you know what i am going to say,

i took a whole week off,i couldnt eat any more salad and i really missed bread,it was Fathers day and i had my period,yet another month i've not fallen pregnant,but hey,thats another forum i guess <big shake>

well thats all that negativity shaken off,there is a new class thats started just around the corner from me,so i'm off to WI tonight and back on plan today,at least now that hubby is working shifts and taking the car at least i can walk to class,i wonder if i could take my dog?

WELL DONE to all you losers,and i shall be there too,maybe not today but certainly there again next week

Morning all! WI last night and I lost 1lb. Not sure how as I've been totally rubbish at sticking to the plan for the last couple of weeks!

I'm going away for the weekend with a load of skinny people so if I can stay the same this week I'll be happy!

Here's my plan for today:

Brekkie - weetabix crunchy bran (A&B). Banana
Lunch - salad with ham & coleslaw (2), small slice of HM bread (6ish?!)
Tea - lemon sole, veggies, oven chips (2)

I've got a load of baking to do tonight to take away with us. I have my choc & mint hifi bars which I'll be attempting to convince myself are better than choc brownies, scones and sausage rolls!!

Morning everyone.. today is going to be a good day for all of us I can just feel it :j

WI this morning for me and I have lost 3lb :T so I am really pleased as it means I have lost the 2lb I put on last week and and extra lb to bring me back on trackish.

My mini goal is to be 13st by my birthday on 22 Jul which is 4 wks away so I need to shift 5lb by then which should be doable.

Today's food.. (EE)
B - coffee
L - Veggie chow mein made at home so 0.5 syns
D - Veggie cottage pie, steamed veggies and gravy. (6 in total as I will used real butter for the tatas and then there is the syns for the gravy)

It has been raining heavily non stop here in Warsaw since last night so I fancy some warm winter food for dinner, hence the pie.

Good luck everyone xx

I am really surprised that some people still buy/use/cook oven chips and syn them - surely it would be best to do SW chips and save the syns for other nice things?

It is the way i think anyway!

I was good yesterday - only 1 syn (2 mikados!) - but felt really bad because i didn't do a proper dinner last night - i settled for some savoury rice with beans! - But i did eat a whole punnet of strawberries and raspberries yesterday! Whoops! Need to cut down a bit!

Thanks for the Scan bran info (getting them from holland & barratt) Problem is that i don't have the time to go into town to get them - i am going down my local town on saturday for contact lens appointment but they don't have a h&b!

I will make do until next week - i will just keep off the eggs lol

Trying to be good this week - our group is doing the 4lb challenge! (loose 4lbs this week!) I am trying my best but don't think i will do it (it was the pizza hut on monday!) - i just want 2lbs and i will be happy.

Hello everyone.
I have just been on the slimming world website looking at the new Extra Easy plan (I got the the free 7 day plan to try) but I don't really undertsand it. I thought you guys might be the best people to ask!
I have an old SW book that has red and green days that I got years ago from a friend, but it seemed a bit complicated. So I'm interested in trying the easier option but I don't understand how it differs from the old system? Is it similar to either of the red/green days or just a combination?
Sorry if I'm not making sense, I guess all I'm really asking is how is it different and what are the rules?
thanks
B.

PS - also, i was trying to work out cereal - but the HEB option says 28g kellogs raisin wheats + 1 ryvita. But I didnt' have the ryvita and had more than 28g of cereal so does the extra cereal count as syns or does the fact that i didnt have the ryvita make all the cereal ok to be my HEB?? Sorry! Thanks!!!

Anything that is free on green + Anything that is free on red
= extra easy

Then:
1 healthy extra from the A section
1 Health extra from the B Section.

Plus 5-15 syns a day

Right. Disappointed about yesterday but I think I know why and am going to blame my womanly hormones. I am pretty certain I should have lost and so hopefully it will show next week. I think the problem is that you lose a little bit of momentum and are tempted to cheat, I shall resist!

Well done to everyone who has lost

Hello everyone

How are we doing this week?

I’ve been so blooming busy I haven’t been able to check in as much :nope: Have tried to stick to the plan although went out for a meal on Sunday with OH, his cousin and her BF and had chips with my steak which is a bit naughty. Hoping that being extra good the rest of the week has paid off though!

EE day today – menu looks like this:

Breakfast: Fat Free natural yoghurt with blueberries and raspberries
Lunch: Wholemeal bread sandwich with ham and 1 slice of smoked cheese (taken out of HEA) with loads of salad and cucumber – banana
Dinner: Chicken Chargrill (4 syns) with boiled baby potatoes and a mixture of broccoli, courgette, carrot and mangetout

Snacks: Fresh Cherries, Orange, Plums, Cherry Tomatoes, Sliced Cucumber

Weigh in tomorrow – no idea how I’ve done. Fingers crossed for a nice result

thanks KarenGentles. I'm still trying to get my head around it all but that makes it look easier than I'm making it!
Going to give it a go - already worked out today's plan and syns so I can't do it wrong!
So I'll probably be back soon with more confusion!! hope that's ok.
B.

PS - is there anyone here who doesn't have the proper books etc knows how to work out syn values online or by some method??
