Hello Guys

(comes crawling back with tail between her legs) I need a big kick up the @rse now only 2 1/2 lb off target and have been like it for 4 weeks I am off on hols in 3 weeks and need it gone. I have struggled this year because of ill health so have been scraping the weight off 1/2 a week but tablets have stopped and i need this weight gone. At easter I put my buttons egg away and said i wouldn't touch it til target.......... I have every plan of eating it on hols so please kick me x x x x

Thank you

I think I'm eating too much! I do EE

This was yesterday:

B: 2x Weetabix, skimmed milk, banana

L: Tuna (whole tin, drained of brine) tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce.
Pear & grapes.

Chicken stir fry (spray oil) onion, beansprouts, muchrooms, peppers. Wholegrain rice. Muller Light.

Snacks/Syns:
2 extra light cheese triangles = 2
2 Ryvita = 4
Salad Cream (on tuna) = 2
Kit Kat = 5
Total 13

Is this OK? I wonder if EE is encouraging me to eat too much? Maybe I should do Green some days, but I have yet to get a grip of Red/Green, it's taken me two weeks to understand EE.

I'm now into week three with a total loss of 1.5lbs and not very impressed with that.

I could change the 1/3 superfree 2/3 free I suppose, maybe the other way round?

Sorry Me again, I'm all questions this morning and absolutely no answers...
Are Mullerlight RICEs free - is not what are the syn value?

Thanks again

Morning All

So after all my random questions today, I thought I’d write a little bit of an introduction.

You know how when you join they say you will be on a diet for life and its more about changing your lifestyle and habits and not just a diet well, that sums me up somewhat, except, I’m more on and then off, on and then off, but I guess we all have a weaknesses.

Anyway, I have been on/off/with slimming world for about 2 years now and it works and then i stop have a kebab and then its stops working (when i say kebab I mean, kebab/wine/curry/ and off the list).

Well last night was kebab night and well, I got into bed and had a cup of tea and oh my lord I thought I was going to die, I was so full and so uncomfortable and well that was my kick up the bum.

Never again, I will have my kebab and eat it but I will syn it in so to speak
I always come back to what I know......
Sunday morning is my weigh in day...
So I’m back and must get my act together, half a stone will do me nicely....

Wish me luck

Good luck red!

NOthing wrong with a chicken kebab on EE, maybe minimise the pitta or syn it ( personally i am not a fan of pittas) and pile high the salad

But I hope you feel less uncomfortable soon

I wouldnt not be impressed with a 1.5 loss! Thats great. Its a move in the right direction and better than putting on weekafter week, no?

personally I think your menu looks fine to me! thats def the sort of volume I consume and I have been regularly losing ( prior to barcelona :wall:) as they say " you gotta stoke that boiler!!!"

Lynz,

Thanks for the reassurance. I just expected more weight loss for the first week (that was the 1.5lbs) and something - anything for the second week - but no!

It's just that when I did WW (boo hiss) years ago I lost a lot the first week then steadily after that. That was 20 years ago though, maybe my older body is not as responsive!

Onward and downward..............
