Slimming World - a Christmas countdown!

Dontknowanymore

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!!!
I have had enough of feeling sorry for myself! it's boring!
Just under 2 weeks to go till xmas, still got to get my ex's daughter and bro presents but got everyone elses, so now getting rather excited!
I'll be staying at my mum's for about 10 days so have booked a Tesco delivery for hers to get my SW provisions in place, ooh look at me getting all organised!


MrsE, do you not have access to a kettle?
What about chicken pieces, leftovers such as chilli, etc?
Sorry I have no idea really!

TakeItEazy

WI today & gained 1lb, now is that due to the extra HEs or more like the chinese & pie & lemon curd tarts [pastry]. Still well under target so got a cushion for christmas. Dreading this week with all the mince pies/chocolate on offer.

Good luck all xx

Gooooooooood afternoon one and all
Sorry I have been causing worry whilst being missing in action -I was fine, I just couldn't be bothered posting whilst all the kerfuffle was going on :rotfl:
Well done on the losses again ladies n gents (I have still been reading )

Not sure why, but I have got up feeling super this morning .... Anyhoo -the scales said 1lb off this week ... I can live with that -in fact with the combination of * week, lack of exercise and strange eating going on Im with 1lb off. Yesterdays food was mighty perculiar -it consisted of a bit of yoghurt, masses of fruit -(including 2lb of plums)and a plate of pickles :rotfl:.... but it was what I fancied ... I guess there are far worse things that * week could make me crave :j



Im going for a red day today so Im thinking :-

• 250ml semi (A)
• 250ml semi (A)
• lamb steak
• 198g steamed potatoes (B)
• carrots
• swede
• cauli
• nobbies (brussels)
• gravy granules (1)
• mint sauce
• apple
• satsumas
• 1/4tsp oil (0.5) -to stirfry:-
• onions
• carrots
• peppers
• broccoli
• hm sweet n sour sauce (2)
• salmon fillet
• fibre plus bar (B)
• activia (2.5)
• fruit

So that lot comes to 2A+Bs and 6 syns ...
Im going to finish off meal plan for this week once I have done this... and I must write down the recipe for the Spanish pork, chorizo n potato stew as it was "scrum-diddly-umtious" it was even nicer than I thought it was going to be...hubby made short work of his -and the leftovers he claimed for his lunch yesterday ....
Its hubbies works do tomorrow evening - and this one we are going to ...hey ho-its only one evening I guess....I have my plan in mind and I will be eating before I go -that way I know what Im having .

ooohhh I remember spangles too.... although I liked the foxes glacier mints better (the fruity ones) mmmmmmmm
right I had better get off and finish my plan
Have a lovely afternoon all and keep up the great work...

Hope this helps though it may be the same one your Consultant gave you

That's amazing thank you! My consultant only gave me a day one so this really helps. I have my food sorted for this week as got lots of left overs and stuff that needs using but keeping the above on file. Also it really helps me see what typical stuff you can have so really appreciate it. xxx

Is it possible to go between Success Express say for 2 or 3 days in a week, Extra Easy for 2 or 3 days and have one (or two!) flexi syn days and still lose or at least maintain weight? I'm thinking about over Christmas time when, if visiting relatives etc., you have less control over what you eat and how things are cooked? :undecided

This is what I am trying to do at the moment too. I have so many meals out with friends/work etc that I'm losing my sw control!:(

Susan -I wan't saying that I don't listen to or value everyone elses opinion, and nor was I saying that I had issue with anyone on here- I know what works for me so its neither here nor there what anyone elses thinks of what Im doing or how Im doing it.. so I just choose to not get involved!
I will say though -since you "would rather have an honest opinion" -that I don't actually appretiate your tone or response to my post.... If I actually had issue with you or anyone else on here (or else where) -trust me... I would say so;)
Im sorry if you took my post as a personal attack... that wasn't my intention, I was mearly explaining my absence..

not at all MrsM i didn't see it as a personal attack,sometimes in text it comes across more abrupt than it would if you could see my facial expressions,please say if i upset you,any of you,we're not all the same and life experience has made us all 'see' things differently,i'm glad you're ok,i was a little worried too about where you were

just understand that i'm almost 40,and as i get older and am more comfortable in my skin i tend to say what i think,those days of saying what i think others want to hear are over,so my support if i offer it is genuine,and if i think you're bum looks big in summert i'm likely to say,but as an owner of a big bum,i'm quite a fan!

Hi Susan,,, Im not upset at all -I have the hide of a rhino -and many would say the backside to go with it :rotfl:
Im 39 in a couple of weeks too -and like you I don't much go for fluffy brushing over of things - Black is Black in my head, after all this time Im becoming more like my dad :j and less like my mum (who bless her is so worried what everyone else thinks)I just didn't see the need to get involved with the ins n outs of the SW plan.
I know what you mean about text not coming across the same as if the words are spoken... thats why I use so many and the rest -so I don't offend anyone
Anyhooooo -no offence meant and none taken,,and thats us sorted then . Hope you are having a good weekend!!
