A slimmer Christmas is a-coming with Slimming World

TakeItEazy

WI this morning & scales playing up as they said I'd lost 4lb :eek:. Did a bit of getting on & off with differing results so went for a shower. Before getting dressed I got on the scales & have lost 1 lb [much better]. Have [in my head] moved my target from 10st 2lb to 9st 12lb as that made a round 2st loss but am now 1.5lb under that.

How do I stop? Hubby is complaining I am losing too much .


Am off on weekly walk to mums if my legs will let me, don't know about the other teachers on here [I am a TA] but this week has been a killer on my legs .

Hun this is where Ive been too.

You have 3 choices as I see it
1) are you happier to be smaller? Or do you look "too thin"
2) are you having your full quotient of HEA &B. ( ie the extra ones for maintainence)
3) my sister says if you dont want to have HEA and B extra then you should have a further 6 syns per day ie 16 if you usually have 10, or 21 if you usually have 15. this is the unofficial SW line.

Those are the options as I understand them x

Afternoon all

Green day for me: (will update later)

B - 2 x fried eggs in frylight on HM WM toast (HEB)
L - salad with lettuce, toms, pepper, sp onions, runner beans, carrot and 2 x HB eggs
D -
Snacks - activa ff yog
Drinks - coffee, NAS squash, water

Total syns =

I'm undecided on what to have for tea. I really want fajitas but they will use all my 15syns (2 x tortillas, 2 x sour cream) plus 2 HEA's for cheese. I need to make some room in freezer and do have some SW friendly curry in there but to be honest it wasn't very tasty! :rotfl: So not sure I want bland curry for tea. It will be fine for a day when I want a quick meal so may save it for the week. I'm happy to use all my syns on the fajitas if I make them, as I'll still have a HEB for my choccie fix of Kellogs Fibre Plus bar. But it all depends on how peckish I get between now and dinnertime!

Maybe just have the 1 wrap and then the filling from the 2nd one on the side with a big salad? It will halve the syns and you could have some pud too.

With the curry when you are ready to eat it just add some more spices or a bit of a stock cube to it to pep it up a bit.

OK - I eat out too much but that's just the way I am..... I am on a steep learning curve with SW here and will have to stop checking syns after the event!
Yesterday had lunch with a friend at Pizza express and shared a salad and dough balls to start and then had a thin pizza with goats cheese and peppers - ABOUT 35 SYNS...... I know most of you won't be shocked, but I was.
Now today have just been to the Designer outlet and had a cappuccino and panini at Caffe Nero's and the panini was 21 syns..... I thought that the pasta salad would be just as bad but it would have been 11.
Hey ho.
We have just upgraded our phones and I have a smartphone now so the BIG solution for me is to actually go to syns online in future and check before I eat!!!!

Trixietoes - why not add 2 tablespoons of branston pickle to jazz up the curry - that would be 2 syns, and maybe some extra curry powder as you heat it up. Sometimes a chopped apple can add a bit of jazz too.

No they are from either Asda or Morrisons' BBQ range. I dont know which as i found them at the back of the freezer I ran the values through the calculator when i bought them. They are lovely they are covered in this sweet chilli/thai style marinade. Morrisons have their ones 3 boxes for £5 atm which is a bit expensive considering the Asda ones were £1 a box when i bought them! But now summer is over i dont think asda have them anymore.

Grrrrr the pesky fairies are really doing my head in today. I really thought i kicked their asses earlier.... Parent's came home from allotment with not only their harvest but a bag of chips to have with chip butties..... URGH... i then proceeded to have a small (children's size) bowl of chips... thank god it was a small bowl..

... and now i've just spent 3 syns on an oaty biscuit... bah! I hate saturdays! lol.

Thanks for the suggestions hun. I think I will have the whole thing cos I'm not really a pud person and can always have another Activa FF yog and fruit later.

I'll defo use your suggestion re the curry. Since I made it I've bought lots of new spices so will experiment

Afternoon all

Well -left to my own devices and I found myself wandering from room to room -well what I mean is from living room to kitchen and back again :eek: ....... I think "bored maud" was visiting but do you know what -I kept sticking my head in the fridge before slamming it shut (not with my head in :rotfl:) and wandering off empty handed .... I actually have realised that I CAN distinguish between HUNGER and boredom etc :j -somehow I have got to 6pm having had my brekkie and lunch as planned and now Im not hungry for my dinner :huh: so I will hold off and have it in a while and I haven't had either of my yogyogs yet or my syns :think:
ooohhhh and Just a few minutes ago I decided to do my measurements... I took them all the day before I joined the GYM and ohh ecky thump in 3 weeks I have lost 28cm/11" from all over -Im chuffed to little mint balls :dance:
Im glad I decided to do my measurements -I mainly did it because I wanted to have something to judge by incase the weight loss slowed down

Fitorbust -its amazing isn't it that often what we would think to be the "healthier" choices are far from it :mad: -
Vixie-pixie -go on -zap those fairies
Flutterby -have you tried making your own wraps? I make mine for 5.5syns each *if I remember correctly* -I have done them even pre-SW and I would never have ready made again:D

right Im off to watch 5 episodes of "come dine with me" :rotfl:
