A Slimmer Summer with Slimming World

Billie-jo

Good luck to the new members joining. I remember our consultant saying something along the lines of - If you have never done SW before think of all the diets you have been on before and probably hated well SW is not like any of them - and its true.

What other diet allows you to have grilled bacon, egg, mushrooms, tomatoes for breakfast, pasta n salad for lunch and say curry with rice and salad for tea along with loads of fruit, extra veg and not forgetting your syns which could be used on say 1 rd. toast with the breakfast, some red or brown sauce and perhaps with a drink or a small choccie bar at night and still manage to lose weight :rotfl:

Well today is a EE day -

B- Porridge with milk (HEA & HEB) Banana
L- Bacon and tomatoes with some sauce (1 syn) Apple + Orange
D- Sausage (2) and mash with leeks in (have sausage that needs using up) with broccoli and carrots and some gravy (2 syns) Yogurt and pineapple.

So thats 5 syns so perhaps a ryvita or two with ham later on or a cereal bar.

Peel back the lid backwards, so towards you rather than away from you, then if any splurts out, it will splurt away from you rather than all over you!!

Could some lovely SW'er clarify something for me please?! In my books it says that one HEA of skimmed milk is 350ml but I think it was MrsM who said she had 2 portions which was 500ml. Have they changed it, or did you just not want 700ml? Thanks

As far as i know you can have more HEA+B's if

1. You are doing red or green rather than extra easy.....

2. you are at target - the advice on maintaining is to add more HE's until your weight stabilises.

Hope this helps!

Thanks guys for answering my query seems like could be good plan for me.

I need some structure.
Im always hungry and tired at the moment.
Im a terror for snacking my weakness is coke, biscuits and chocolate.
Meal wise I would say im quite good mostly home cooked meals just maybe portions alittle skewed.
One night a week we have pizza or takeaway.
weboth partial to odd glass of wine.

Did check slimming world online but seemed costly and think i need group support.
Guess bit nervous as been to a group about 8years ago was ww as put on 2stone and they wouldent accept me as only wanted to lose a stone they said it wasent enough.

checked out weight charts for height and build and range seems to go from 8stone 8lb which is roughly what I was pre pregancy and im now 10stone 2lb.:eek:.

Not sure what my freind meant by expensive I think she meant in terms of shopping.

I frequent oldstyle and managed toget our weekly groceries/househol and toilitries to about £70-75pounds a week as buy milk/fruit andveg from lidls and meat from the butcher.

Typical meals we eat is

spag bol or pasta and meatbals with tomato based sauce.
Lasagne
curry usually diced skinless fillets and jar from sharwoods served with poppadoms and naan,
Chicken and bacon rissoto
beef casserole and mash
roast chicken dinner
shepards pie
pizza sometimes homemade but large.
fish and new potatoes
frozen fish and oven chips.

I love my cereal sometimes have 3bowsl in day semi skimmed milk.
Not huge on breads and dont like yogurts.

I love cooking and do try some batchcooking but rest of time like quick and easy/simple recipies.
I own a slowcooker I not used yet.

I have a very active noisy 20month old not sure how she would behave thats why wondered if can weigh,get info on how to do it and go.
Do i ring and book or just turn up?
can you do different classes or stick to same one?

Dont know anything about the plan as know it changed from red/green days to easy.

Just a quick one as Im off to sort dinner but I have to shout out!!!! IVE LOST 8lb IN THREE WEEKS Im very pleased with myself lost another 2.5 at WI this eve, only thing is we go on holiday on Sunday Im scared of the damage but hey I guess thats life.
Well done to everyone on her keep it up xx

Well I'm nickety nackered today........I've been reaaaallllllly good & done a mahooooosive pile of ironing :T (well I did put some stripey golf shirts & a patterned Duvet set back in the basket as they were just tooooo much for my poor old wobble vision to cope with :eek: didnt want to puke on em & have to wash em again )
I will ask MIL to do those when she comes to 'Babysit me' next week when I'm home from hosp lol

I don't know why she thinks I need a babysitter :think: but she means well & loves feeling 'needed' :A and chances are I might just feel a tad 'sore' after having a hole drilled in mi noggin for the bone graft:rotfl: so I might be grateful of a little help (as long as she doesnt bring any flipping buns, big fat white teacake sarnies from the bakers or chocolates like she did last time I'd been in hospital :eek::mad::p

Today has been a green day

B banana & strawbs & Activia yog followed by a bout of griping indigestion/acid/my hiatus hernia pain (I forgot my lansoprazole this morning) *stooopid dizzy*

L (had this late)JP & cottage cheese satsuma


T ? dunno? maybe a (HEA) cheese/mushroom omlette & beans, strawbs & yog for pud if needed

HEB oaty bar HEA2 milk for teas

syns choc options 2 penguin wafer 4.5

Gailey - I'm also on a budget each week and find other websites really useful.
I tend to use Tesco and Lidl for my main shop, and occassionally Asda if I see a bargain mentioned on this website below.

:money:

I had a leaflet through the door this morning for Lidl - This weekend (not before) 3 large skinless chicken breast fillets £1.99 (usually £3.99) Get there early for anyone thinking of BBQ's
Gaila or Cantaloupe melon 84p
Mixed peppers (3 pack) - £1.00
Robinson's NAS blackcurrant - 79p (litre)

Hi
Havnt posted on here for a while but have been plodding along doing EE days, looking back though as part of a number of changes I have reduced my meat intake significantly now eating much more quorn products instead so I think I should be doing greendays instead?

Now I get extra easy....one HEA, one HEB, lots of free, 1/3plate superfree

I kindof get greendays, one or 2 HEA (how do you decide if you should have one or two), two HEBs, then all free on green and superfree on green/ee. Also upto 15syns a day? Is that right? do I still have to have 1/3 superfree on this plan or is that just ee?

or- should I just stick to ee- does seem easier but am tempted by the extra a/b choice

Hiya - no you aren't wrong, but I have semi skimmed so only get 250ml for 1xheA

Well done on the losses folks :T
