A slimmer Christmas is a-coming with Slimming World

Senor_Feesh

Good evening all :T Happy weekend! It is finally my weekend now, worked today and have two days off. Really need them too, feeling a little run down

I've really gone off nectarines, tried to eat some in a fruit salad last night and it almost made me sick. Very strange, I used to go through them very easily! Oh well, onto the next fruit!

b 2x alpen lite (heb)
l cheese (hea) and bacon omelette, banana
d prawn and crab soup with chard and sweetcorn. apple and pear to finish.

Once again I know I'm skating on the edge of not enough superfree. I've just totally gone off fruit and tesco have run out of sugardrop tomatoes which I LOVE. I may defrost some raspberries too for my fruit salad. Don't want to waver too much, I've finally kicked into gear again!

Just popping my head in so as not to spread germs, am feeling very poorly [bad throat, tight chest etc]. Not wi today so have changed my day to sundays.
Weekends are my off days but still watching what I eat, although the ploughmans roll for lunch wasn't planned as had low fat spread & pickle in it, also on white bread but was a gift so couldn't say no .

Good luck all xxxxxxxx

Hi all

Got through my first day and have stuck to the plan.

I made my quorn lasagne with the cheese sauce from the SW sauce book which was only 1.5 syns pp (counting the cheese as an hea) and uses stock instead of milk. I am always trying to work out a really nice SW white/cheese sauce recipe but haven't found it yet. I failed this time because as there were only two of us eating the lasagne I halved the sauce recipe but used a whole stockcube. As a result it was a bit too "stockcubey" but I will try it again next time with less cube!
Any advice would be appreciated!

Anyway this time of night is my biggest challenge, accepting that I DO NOT need anything else to eat between tea and bed! Self discipline isn't it!

Thinking over the discussion about breakfast/rice pudding, I am going to experiment tomorrow morning with a brown rice/soya milk and sweetener breakfast. In the Tightwad Gazette Amy Dacyczyn describes trying brown rice instead of porridge. If it is successful, I could have a porridge like breakfast without using up part of a HEB. I will report back (I know it wouldn't be to everyone's taste).
I am also planning to come up with a couple of weeks of sample menus. I have fallen off the wagon over the past few days due to being so busy and not really planning ahead, so need some default plans if you see what I mean.
Good luck everyone, some great losses this week!

I have just looked up rice pudding recipes - I had no idea it would take so long to cook! I may break out the slow cooker, really miserable day here in Norfolk so would suit my mood!

I'd be interested in how you get on as I was wondering about trying something I recall seeing on Gillian McKeiths programme - quinoa porridge. Rice pud sounds better - I know Il crave stodgy sweet warm puds over winter. I've got a slow cooker I need to dig out and use.

Went in M&S, 2 health stores and Somerfield today plus Tesco Express and no one had pudding rice:( will try big Sainsburys ion the week.

I can only get pudding rice from Sainsbury's but it comes in such a small pack - I'd love a bigger bag of it as it's a great filing breakfast for me mixed with fruit & yoghurt in the morning!

Have had a good day today but went too long between meals (5 hours without my fruit snacks) and boy did I feel hungry! Luckily my will power held out but won't be caught out again.

B - beans/toms/mushrooms/spring onions on 1 wholemeal toast

L - jacket and beans out plus salad

D - free tomato/vege soup then felt full but had tinned spaghetti and a veggie sausage.

Had fruit salad and lemon soya yoghurt too.

More home cooked food needed tomorrow me thinks!

Think this healthy lifestyle is working as I went to buy a mini bottle of red wine in M&S and got asked for I.D..........I'm 37:rotfl::T

Well after my mega breakfast, couldn't face anything for tea so just had a ham omelette and chopped up a pineapple, which I have eaten most of!

Made loads of tomato and red pepper soup, about 8 good portions so will have plenty of free lunches to take to work over the next couple of weeks. I usually make as well mushroom soup, but has loads of cream as well as milk in it, and broccoli and stilton soup as well which looks like a major no for this diet - need to rethink work lunches for winter.

This looks filling and would be syn free on all plans if HE were used - would be good with a large salad.

Today's (EE) food will be:
Hea 350ml sk milk.

On another note I'm slightly annoyed that the SW mag is ALL about EE now - what about those of us who prefer red & green? No more ideas or recipes for us? I will do EE once in a blue moon but not regularly so it's put me off buying the magazine again!

I totally agree with you on this! I do Green only as I'm veggie, SW recommends veggies don't bother with EE as green gives you the extra HEX's yet the mag never reflects this. I'm also annoyed that it's not a monthly magazine! I hate having to wait for the new one to come out!

I hate rice pudding, but saw this on minimins which may be what you are after:

Morning all

Well yesterdays meal out at the Chinese wasn't so bad.

B - mexican scrambled eggs, HM WM toast (HEB), marg (1syn)
L - peppers stuffed with couscous, saute pots (in frylight)
D - veggie lettuce rolls (chopped veg stirfried), tofu in black bean sauce, boiled rice. - so would need to allow syns for oil in cooking (6?) and the bb sauce (I know the packet ones are 6 syns)
Snacks - cheese (HEA), fibre plus (HEB), shape delight (5syns)
Drinks - soda water, fizzy water, NAS squash, coffee

Total syns = approx 17?

Today I'm going to try and have no syns or very few to make up for Friday's pizza I had a sneaky look at the scales today and I've put on 0.5lbs, but WI is tomorrow so hoping to balance it out to have a STS instead. Today will be a bit tricky as I'm going on a date (eek!) and not sure where we will end up! The plan is to go for a walk and a coffee so shouldn't be too bad. I'll probably burn up calories through nervous energy :rotfl:.

I'll post my meal plans later. Have good days all
