A slimmer Christmas is a-coming with Slimming World

alisont

Am wondering how to hit the choc cravings - am vegan so cant have the options or choc mousse puds.

Might have to resort to grating a cube of dark choc over my rice pud!

Trouble is once I start with choc It's hard to stop so at the mo am not having any - have got 2 vegan mars bars in the choc tin (pre slimming world) going to work out the syns for those and that should put me off:rotfl:

I keep thinking how can I lose weight eating this much but of course its the right foods now:)

Today have had

B - porridge and berries

Mid am - beans/toms on 1 toast

L - left over free pasta bake and tofu and salad

D - SW chips, beans, tomatoes, onions and garlic mushrooms (basicaly sliced mushrooms with minced garlic - Waitrose lazy minced frozen garlic, done in the microwave with veggie worcs sauce!)

Got a portion of syn free rice pud for later and have had my usual fruit during the day.

I really dont feel Ive lost weight but have had to go in 1 notch on my belt today which has to be a good sign!

Ok totally peed off, its late, too tired to cook, hubbys gone for chinese AGAIN. How do I say NO and keep the peace :mad:. Chow meins not too bad is it? Bugga Bugga BUGGA

No chinese is fine!

Most of the chinese I have are about 5 sysn with boiled rice! ( on ee)

In the green booklet page 68 theres loads under 6- but heres a selection:

beef & black bean 5, chicken & mushroom 5.5 beef & mushroom 4.5,
Chicken chopsuey noodle 5.5, chicken chowmein 7 sweet & sour prawn 7, chicken oyster sauce 4.5

Careful the sweet & sour in batter is 17.5 and weirdly beef with waterchestnuts OR onions or peppers is 12 ???.

I dont get that! :rotfl::rotfl::cool:

Boiled noodles free
plain rice free

Chinese is a great takeout choice on SW, a helluvalot better than PIZZA :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Fantastic....let me know how you get on with this as I would prefer to make my own than buy them:A

My roll making experiment worked perfectly. I used my usual wholemeal dough recipe for the breadmaker, then I weighed out the dough in 65g lumps, made it into rolls, they came out at 57g! So yummy. Smaller than you can buy really, but so much nicer and seem more substantial. I won't bother to weigh the dough next time, now I know that quantity of ingredients gives me 9 rolls of the right size I shall just do it by eye.
I have cooked up the pudding rice ready for tomorrow morning's breakfast. I have vanilla fat free yogurt and blueberries in so it should be yummy!

Hello everyone.

I too dread weigh day... I'm always aprehensive about putting weight on.

My day was nice and easy... chunky veggie soup, for lunch and dinner, still some in the pan for tomorrow. Toast and marmite for brekkie.

All this talk of rice pudding has made me want to give it a go. Since being on SW I tend to have more of a need for a sweet treat after dinner so that would fit in lovely.... maybe some grated choc and choc powder too (synned obv). It is short grain rice I need to get isn't it?

It's going to be a green day tomorrow and I think I will also get my sewing machine out and make some new cushion covers for the lounge and bedroom - that should keep my snout out the fridge for a short while :rotfl:

Hope everyones evening goes well... speak to you tomorrow xx

Am thinking of filo dishes instead of my usual puff pastry en croute veggie Christmas meals

Exactly what I was thinking. I have a great leek, mushroom, artichoke and chestnut en croute recipe which I am sure I can adapt to use filo pastry. I usually make caramelised onion tarts to take to family meals over Christmas (they would cook for me but I feel I should do my bit when MIL is catering for so many). Looks like I could use filo for that too.
Might have a trial run with the filo, perhaps at the weekend.

Well done Liz, pre SW I always used to make my own bread, it tasted sooo much nicer.

Do you use just normal wholemeal flour?

I'm going to make some rolls too and pop them in the freezer.

As it only says a 57g wholemeal roll as a Healthy Extra, I just used my usual wholemeal bread recipe (from the booklet for the Morphy Richards Fastbake machine) then weighed it out. It was little trouble, and if I use one per work day for my lunch it will last me almost two weeks. Really chuffed!

Thanks very much to everyone who said they get nervous too - it DID make me feel better!

Although I was shaking as I queued up to get on the scales

I lost 6lbs at my 1st weigh-in so I am very pleased as I went out for a meal and also to a party :beer:
