A slimmer Christmas is a-coming with Slimming World

Littleoldme

Only just found this thread so hope you don't mind me joining in.

I am one of the "typical" stories with SW, did it years ago and lost a fair bit with it, but still had alot to go. Got bored with SW and decided other "diets" looked better and since then have lost and put on the same 2 stone for the past 2 years.

3 weeks ago I realised i was at the top of the "putting the 2 stone back on" and decided enough was enough and I was going back to what had worked for me in the past and doing SW again. I do not go to class and have signed up for the three months access to the website but to be honest apart from access to the syns I do not like the website, I find the "food diary" really bad and TBH i do not plan on keeping up my subscription at the end of the 3 months.

I am hoping you lovely people on here can help me and make sure I am doing "things right". I tend to follow the EE plan as it fits in better with my BF and eating with him.

My downfall is bread, I love the stuff and if I have any of it my will power seems to go out the window and I end up eatting slice after slice of the stuff even when I am not hungry- toasted with cheese (low fat cheese so I suppose that is something :rotfl:). I am therefore determed to stay away from bread in the evenings so HEB is something for breakfast or lunch.

Can I post my "food diary" for comment on here or is there somewhere else I should be doing that?

Hi

Apologies if I'm posting in the wrong place. I'm thinking of doing Slimming World. I did it years ago with my Mum and it really suited me. The thing is I don't have any of the books or information anymore. I'm not keen on going to a class and when I look on the Slimming World (bodyoptimise) website they only seem to sell the books with a 3 month online membership (which I don't mind too much), a magazine subscription and a couple of other things. I wondered if anyone knew a way to just get the info online without going to a class?

Thanks

Gwenx

Hi Gwen and welcome

If you are not keen on attending the group, would you maybe go for one week just ot get the books and information...or you could look on ebay, but they do seem to be pricey on there!

Aside from here, there is a site called minimins which is also a good source of information. Between here and there you could find out everything you need to know to follow the plan successfully:D

eeeep first weigh in day for me, wonder how I have done, Im not expecting too much tbh as I have been so full of cold all week I have pretty much just sat on my bum the whole time lol

I have just had the rice pudding for brekfast, boiled the rice in water then mixed in a toffee muller light yoghurt and topped with sliced banana, was nice but does anyone know any other yoghurts that are free? I dont mind the muller ones but I wouldnt say I really like them

Will go green today I think

HEA will be milk for teas

Bfast - rice pud made with muller yog and sliced banana

Lunch - Chicken (HEB) pasta salad

Dinner - not sure yet, will get something when back from WI maybe jacket spud or scrambled eggs

Snacks - as much fruit as I can face, have plenty of yoghurts and I have a dime bar to enjoy tonight after WI

Hope everyone has a great day

Hi littleoldme and welcome too...

Feel free to post your food diary:D More knowledgeable people than me will be sure to check it over for you...

I have pretty much avoided bread since I started 5weeks ago and I feel so much better for it.... I have had maybe 2 slices of toast and two bread rolls in all that time:)

Morning all,
Feeling a bit better this morning, less upset but very very daunted by the amount I have to lose.
Thank you all so much for the kind and supportive comments, it means so much when you are feeling this low. Im just going to try and do my best and come on here for the support as well as class.

I want to do a cottage pie tonight, Ive looked on the SW website and they do one with a swede mash, I want to do a normal one for all the family. Can I have this on EE? My mince is very low fat, I use carrots, onions and oxo. No butter or milk in the mash so would that be ok to have with veg?

That sounds fine to me....just make sure you give yourself plenty of superfree veggies;)

welcome to the madhouse

I was a realllll bread head before SW!!!!!! but I decided to go cold turkey and cut it out completely as once I started on it I couldnt stop Plus it does me no favours at all and bloats me terribly and gives me awful tum problems.

It took about 4 days of going nuts for the stuff - but I actually dont miss it at all now (wierd as I could easily eat half a loaf of thick warburtons before )

I have Fibre plus bars as my HEB now (fab for the choccy cravings too ) or occasionally weetabix......but I darent try bread in case I get the taste for it again :rotfl:

Post your menus on here and ask as many questions as you want.....there is always someone who can help if you're stuck

Morning, so glad you're feeling a bit better this morning. Having spud on cottage pie on EE is fine but make sure you have loads of free veg.

Try to set smaller goals and not concentrate on the total weight you want to lose, maybe start by thinking about getting down into the next stone - it feels good when you see a lower number on those scales! Also try planning your meals in advance, when I was losing my weight I found this very helpful.

Have a good day - you CAN do it. x

Tell me about it!! What made it worse for me was the consultant doing the biopsy was a parent at the school I work at. Bless him he did ask if I would prefer someone else to do it but as I was already undressed and as he was working on the opposite end to my face he wasn't likely to recognize me in the playground :rotfl:

OMG! i would of died of embarrasment!!!


had WI last night - was abit worried as i had been totally off plan for my holiday but i still lost 1.5lbs! :j

but i did then go to the indian with a group of friends from class after - hope i didnt put that 1.5 back on!

tried to be good but not too sure;
2 small samosas, plain rice, dahl, tandoori chicken, chapati and courgette barhji (basically fried slices of courgette).

i know i went over 15 syns there but will try to stick to 10 a day for the rest of the week to make up for it.



today;

ee
b- small skinny cappacino (3), mullerlight
l - jacket and tuna, ravishing ruby hifi (heb)
snacks - i have grapes and apples with me today

dinner - still not decided, might just do a pasta in sauce with extra veg

morning Ebaybaby, Im glad your feeling better this morning

your cottage pie sounds yum and yes will be fine to use mash potato and have it as an EE day, if you serve it with some veg on the side it would be perfect as then you would be increasing your superfree

Hope you have a good day
