The Slimming World "Countdown to Easter"

WelshWoofer

Morning all!
Just back from Mr T's and the weekly shop - getting a bit bored with food so have tried a few new things this week.

Does anyone know if the new Jacob's Flatbreads are a HEB? They say they are full of fibre so maybe? They were half price so bought some to have a try.

Todays food will be ...
Breakfast - none (I know! Didn't feel like any after a lie in)
Lunch - either the flatbread cracker things with Laughing Cow lights or Ryvitas and some fruit (B choice and A choice)
Dinner - small jacket potato, tuna (B choice) and salad
Snacks - satsuma, mixed frozen berries

Going out tonight for a drink but am not really that bothered about drinking so may volunteer to drive to save some syns.

There's only so much diet coke you can drink - does anyone else have any ideas about syn free non alcoholic drinks?

Have a good skinny day - off to try the Shred for the first time - wish me luck!

Hi - I am back with my tail between my legs.
I have been floundering over the past few months - not really gained, but haven't lost either.
The only bright part is that we went on a cruise up the coast of Norway, and lost a pound! Lots of walking, and v v expensive food meant we had minimal lunches as we were on half board!
I am 50 in August and want to get towards my target so I'm back for the motivation of reading your posts, and grateful for any help!
Hope everyone is OK - nice to see a lot of familiar names still here.
I am still a keen exerciser, and have just started running again. I'm not that fond of running, but know it is a good way to burn more calories!
Just need the willpower to stay with food optimising, and get back on track!!
Hey ho!

welcome back hun
Ive saved a seat for you on the Dizzy tank x x

All diet drinks are "free" ( I adore diet coke and never tire of it, ever!) the likes of diet fanta, sprite etc. However, you dont really see these diet drinks many places anymore

Enjoy the shred! I need to get one of these I think!

Morning all : wave:

Well weigh in has brough bad news for me and the OH this week, I have gained 3lbs and OH has gained 7. Part of that was the jaffa cake binge ( me ) and red coke and beers ( him) but I also think that the extra HEB is a problem as well as it reduces the volume of superfree.

Therefore have made the executive decision to only have extra HEB on EE days and not on green. I shall also get back to weighing cereal as this has stopped happening recently... Well im on the tank now tho so all good

Ok so today is EE:
Break: Banana strawbs & half muller
Brunch: bacon, frylite egg mushrooms and beans 1 WW toast 1/3rd HEB
Lunch: left over chicken and salad from last night
Snack blueberries
Tea: HM burger HEB roll few HM wedges, salad, corn etc.
Syn: dime bar 7 & WW minim icecream 3 = 10

Hope everyone is well :wave:

I am officially SHREDDED!
It does go past very quickly and is quite hard so I think it'll be quite easy to fit in - all done in 30 mins.

I quite like Jillian - although she does nag! She's no namby pamby "take a break if you need it" type though!

Well done to the losers and welcome back to the returners!

Lynz - I'm sure you'll find the right balance - I would imagine its trial and error for all of the target members?

Good afternoon all
Well done on the NSVs folks :T ....
TakeitEazy -hope you are better soon

welshwoofer -I love Jillian because she isn't all "pink n frilly" - I have another DVD that I would love if the woman wasn't all "American cheerleader type ...all tan, teeth and other things begining with T "

Anyway lovely ladies -I was out of my bed at "sparows fart" this morning -6:15 (had a blinding headache like I used to have all the time before my op, so grabbed 2 of my pain killers and promptly felt "p*ssed as an idiot") -still the head ache went away:T.. I think I know the problem -I took 2 like I did when I was at my biggest and I think my body couldn't cope with it)...in the car by 7pm and on the golf course by 7:30 (by which time I had "sobered up" ) ...... 2hrs 30mins walking and 13,000 steps covered ... we stopped of at the naafi, then home.. made lunch and then I went out and cut the grass whilst its lovely and quiet out there :j -so thats my exercise for the day

I got a few "whoopsie"bargains in the naafi....
*a large chicken for €1 -just cooked it
*4 HUGE chicken breasts -€1.50 -individually bagged and frozen now,
*bramley apple quorn sausages 50c -so I have 3 packs wedged in the freezer ....
*celery 25c
*2 large courgettes 25c
*large sirloin steak €1.25 -making stir fry tonight
*french beans 50c
*baby corn/mange tout 50c
*punnet plums 50c
*punnet black grapes 50c
*2 heads broccoli 25c -that look better than the non whoopsed stuff

I think they got caught out with so many folks being away on leave this week . If I could have wedged anything else in either freezer I would have taken more chickens as I eat a lot of that.... but I can't squidge a pea in there now

Now then my meal plan has changed slightly sooooo its now:-
piece frittata (0.5xA)
fibre plus bar (B)-eaten on the 10th hole
pineapple
feta cheese (A)
lettuce
cucumber
tomato
onions
celery
tickled beetroot
tickled cabbage
tickled onions
fibre plus (B)
sirloin steak
1/4tsp oil (0.5) -to stir fry:-
onions
mushrooms
asparagus
bean sprouts
broccoli
green beans
peppers
activia (2.5)
125ml semi (0.5xA)
so thats 2A+B and now only 3 syns .... its the 1st time I have ever had 2 cereal bars in a day as I don't like doing it, I like proper food ;)but it served its purpose for today I guess

Right Im off to catch up and then veg out on the sofa for the afternoon -have a lovely weekend all and keep up the great work!!!

Does anyone know if I can drink Asdas fruit teas on SW? I cant find it in my book. I tend to drink a lot of these instead of coffee but not sure how good they are. Thanks

WelshWoofer

Hi,
I've had a look online but can't find any Asda fruit teas but I tried Twinnings fruit teas and this came back....

Fruit & Herbal Infusion Tea Bags, all varieties, 100ml FREE on all plans

Think they're the same sort of thing?
Hope this helps.

All fruit teas are free so far as I know. I love them and drink them mostly at work where the ordinary tea is foul due to them using fatty milk. All they are is a vegetable or fruit infusion, no calories at all, just flavour.
