A slimmer Christmas is a-coming with Slimming World

Hello everyone, well done all you losers, good going.

Mrs. M - thanks for all that hard work you have done by putting those suggestions together. I am at target and because I started on red and green days have never been brave enough to try EE. When I am 3 lb below target I intend to do a few EE days to see how it goes. I shall use your suggestions as a guidline. Thanks again. xx

Well done for being at target :j... Im a red/green girl too -I started on EE for about the first 6 weeks and then went onto all Red, then I seemed to do a lot of green now I do a mix of red/green:rotfl:. I have to say that doing that EE meal plan seemed a lot more difficult than when I do red/green :huh:

It often happens when you change plans, but give it another week and you should see a difference

Make sure you're having the third of a plate of superfree though or it won't work.

I have always told members, that if you know you've followed the plan exactly as you should, you know you'll lose weight - simple as that! Slimming World test the plans for a long time before they publish them......they wouldn't set you up to fail

Third of a plate? I have much more than that. P5 of my EE book there's a pic of a plate with what looks like potato wedges and a steak in some sort of sauce. Then there are a few green beans (ie Superfree). I would have those plus, broccoli, carrots and maybe a leek. I love my veggies!:)

Phew just caught up.
Was my fisrt at home wi this morn and i'm very pleased to report a 2lb loss:j, even better my OH has loosely been following the plan with me and he lost 3lb, i reckon he would have easily lost 4 or 5 if he'd stuck to 100% tho.

MrsM - have to say thanks for your EE meal plan its got some fab ideas. I always find EE days really hard to plan, its the healthy extras where i get stuck so hope you dont mind if i pinch a few ideas from there. Also whats cheese and onion pie? it sounds just up my street, and if you dont mind:o, how do you make your cheese sauce?

why dont i look at the best before dates on things when i buy them!?!?!
thing is - then i wont have anything to cook with for the rest of the week lol

I often buy things reduced in the supermarket on the day they are sell by and then put them straight in the freezer. Then I defrost them on the day I want to use them. I am sure that you can freeze most of what you have in your fridge if you put it in today and then for example take out one chicken breast each day in the morning and put it in the fridge ready for the evening. Also if it is something like chicken or mince you can cook it up in a sauce e.g. bolognaise or chicken noodles and then freeze in portions that you can get out later for a week night you are busy.

Well done nickynoo!!

Mrs M, your plan is a huge help. I had given up on EE as I was unable to stick to just 2 HEs a day. It is all much clearer now.

Today I have had breakfast!!
28g ready brek with milk out of allowance

lunch
a whole tin of plum tomatoes.
tea with milk

dinner (planned)
mashed potato and cabbage (dry fried in patties)
veggie sausages
baked beans.
I could have broccoli too as I picked a lot in the garden today. That would make my plate 1/3rd superfree, I think.

bed time
ryvita, kiwi fruit and slimline hot chocolate.


We are very short of cash ATM so making do with what we have in the house/garden.
ETA, no dry frying as we have run out of gas! :mad:We have an electric oven so will have to use it tonight until we can get a gas delivery. The patties will definitely have no fat used as I can use silicone tray covers.

Its me again :rotfl:-can't you tell who is on her own and trying to keep out of trouble *thing is, even if hubby wasn't on exercise he wouldn't be home yet anyway*

Well I have had a minor brainstorm - I have decided that instead of making my cheese sauce -Im simply going to cook the pasta, peas, corn -zap the leeks/onions in the micro and then mix it all up and then put in my bowl with my 42g cheese mmmmmm. I like my pasta quite dry anyway -so I may as well save a healthy extra and 2 syns . Hubby thinks Im odd as he likes pasta with lots of sauce -I like pasta with just a drizzle of sauce.

I have made another big pan of my version of [STRIKE]trumpy[/STRIKE] I mean 12 speed soup :rotfl:so that is ticking over on the stove -which will keep me going for several lunches this week and some for the freezer -If I can fit it in
Pennylane -I eat a lot of veggies too -even on red/green. I can't cut back on my veggies
Hi nicky- oooh pinch anything you think might help ... Im a saddo -I love making meal plans

the cheese n potato pie is something my mum used to make when we were children -only I have SW it ...its really made with leftover mash -but from scratch its (for 2 servings):-

• 400g potato -boiled and mashed, beat in
• 1 egg
• 1 heaped tsp English mustard -which I have now discovered is 1/2syn
• salt n pepper
• 84g cathederal lighter-grated (2heA)
• 1 large onion -chopped and zapped in the micro

you simply mix it all together and tip into a dish and bake until golden ..and it simply HAS to have baked beans with it :rotfl:-You can adjust to suit so I use spring onions, leeks when I have them that want using up, and the onions are nice if you saute in 1/2tsp oil (1) until golden -but its easier to had the nuked onions if you have littlies
ooohhh and if you leave the egg out and shape into cakes and coat with 1 beaten egg and 28g dried breadcrumbs and bake in the oven you have "cheese n onion fryits" -oohh but you need to poke 1/2 a laughing cow light into the centre of each when shaping nomnomnom.

The cheese sauce is just warmed milk from my allowance thickened with cornflour and then English mustard and cheese stirred in.

I normally put all my meatstuff straight in the freezer in meal sized amounts (because I get really bad migraines with all the messing about ive had done in my noggin I was told at pinderfields that meat as it ages produces a chemical that can be a trigger so freezing asap is best).......shame I didnt do it with the flipping fish tho eh

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering what everyone was taking to the christmas parties? Mine is tomorrow and i'm not sure what to take any help much appreciated x

My Xmas taster session is tonight and i am taking bacon & pepper quiche & the couscous savoury 'cake' that someone had mentioned on here (with mushrooms, onions, SF mint sauce, couscous & couple eggs baked in oven)

I didn't have time to do much else! But i did manage to make a soup over the weekend - chucked in most things i had in the fridge & cupboards - not sure on taste as i haven't tried it yet but should be nice - smelt gorgeous!

WI tonight - i am hoping for loss but sneeky look at scales says i have sts again - i have been really good this week but saturday did throw me as i got taken out for breakfast - i was good & asked for extra bacon instead of sausages & toast instead of fried bread but didn't realise that the toast already came buttered & it wasn't wholemeal - just brown so i guesstimated that my syns were:

Bacon - free as cut off fat & was grilled w/o fat (could see them cooking it)
Beans - free
plum toms - free (out of a tin)
mushrooms - free (out of a tin)
3 slices brown bread - 3 x 3 = 9 + syns for marg 6? = 15
2 fried eggs - 2
fried potatoes - 5 for oil?

So for a breakfast it cost me 22 syns? Could have had it for free at home! But at least i didn't have to do the washing up!:rotfl:

Was not a happy bunny!

Fingers crossed for tonight & well done to all loosers! x

hi everyone i need some help please !!

i went to a friends for lunch and she gave me a giant cookie from sainsburys bakery , the extra special ones (it would have been rude to say no:rotfl:)

any ideas on syns ?????????????

i was going to guess about the same as 4 mormal cookies but i'd like to be as accurate as possible as i had 2 slices of white bread as well,so will be making up for it for the rest of this week.

i had a bad week last week , there was a heavily iced cake sliced up and left out at work and i ate most of it but amazingly still lost 1lb :j

that has renewed my determination to carry on as it was fading fast into s*d it mode

thanks all,will be back later hope someone has an answer for me xx
