A Slimmer Summer with Slimming World

nickynoo08

Well done MrsM your such an inspiration :j

Had my wi this morn and was gobsmacked when i saw a 3lb loss!!! all the walking and swimming much have counteracted all the carp i ate on my hols so i'm very pleased

Yesterday ended up looking like this...

B - weetaflakes (heb) milk (hea)
L - tin of spaggy hoops and sprinkle of low low (part hea) and mullerlight
T - jp with low low (rest of hea) half tin of tuna (0.5 heb) with xl mayo (1), onion and sweetcorn and lil blob of marge (1)
S - alpen light (0.5 heb), flump (1.5) bowl of cereal (7)

Total syns used - 10.5

Cant face the supermarket today so i'll just pop to our local shop to get a few bits in for tea and i'll be having another easy green day

B - weetaflakes (heb) and milk (hea)
L - jp with low low (hea) lil blob of marge (1) and mullerlight
T - quorn chilli - chopped toms, onions, mushrooms, peppers and baked beans - and rice
S - alpen light x2

Will need to use a few more syns but i'm sure that wont be a problem

Hummous - I have chick peas, fromfrais, garlic now what do I do? The one on the recipe thread doesn't use from frais so I could make either but which tastes better? Also someone [sorry memory like a goldfish] said they added some sort of oil, which was ????. I think I have sometimers :rotfl:.

This is a problem that I have, almost all my socialising with friends involves eating out (or drinking!). We go out twice a week normally. I can get round the drinking sometimes by being the designated driver - I'm not a huge drinker and I have vertigo which doesn't agree well with it either! But the eating part is so hard. I think it's worse cos I'm veggie so the choices are so limited unless I want to live off jacket spud beans and cheese .

Its hard isn't it? I also usually avoid drinking (I live further from city than most of my friends so usually drive) but its the weekend lunches etc that the problem! I have just been reading the SW website and that seems to recommend a salmon and new potato type option, but obviously thats not very helpful for you. Maybe veggie chilli / tomato based pasta would be better for you?

I find eating out the hardest part of SW. If I could stay at home on my own all the time and just eat food I'd prepared myself then I could stay 100% on plan! But what sort of a life would that be?? I think eating out should be a pleasure and scouring down a menu looking for SW friendly things often spoils it for me. I remember going to a restaurant in Leicester Square and having an omelette, salad and a jacket and thinking what's the point of going out, I could eat better at home at a fraction of the price. I compromise by saving syns in preparation and then trying to have something vaguely SW friendly. It's not brilliant but it's better than becoming a recluse!:rotfl:

EE menu for today:
B: NAS squash, 2 boiled eggs, HEB toast and HEA milk in teas plus have a grapefruit cut up and ready to eat
L: HM lentil and veg soup, toast (or maybe Pagens) and strawberries with yogurt
duck, Dauphinoise potatoes, broccoli, peas, carrots and onion
Snacks and Syns: maybe more fruit (if peckish) plus wine syns

maman - that is so true, I tend to have pasta or chilli (like findingmyownway suggests) but often think why am I paying £5-£10 for a meal I can make for under a quid myself!

Just been to Lidl to get some veg, got the world's biggest pineapple for 99p. It's humungous!! :rotfl:

I couldn't have put it better myself Mags

MrsM - you are an inspiration to us all :j:T 3lbs loss this week when you are so far into your journery is AMAZING!!!! x x

Afternoon all, i've had a bit of a lapse this week so i've been hiding! Will probably have a gain this week, but i can't get to class so hopefully be able to get rid of it by next week!

Anyway - just to catch up - well done losers :T sorry to hear some people are having gains.. they will disappear, we've just gotta keep going!

Dizzy - sorry to hear about ur op being cancelled (loved Elmo by the way)

MrsM and Nickynoo - 3lb losses!! fantastic! :j

Right well trying to get back on track today, weirdly i'm really craving a roast dinner after all the carp i've eaten so that's what we're having.

B - *ahem* asleep
L - mexican chicken sarnie (HEB) light mayo (1) salad, velvet crunch (4ish??)
T - roast chicken dinner.. chicken, carrots, potatoes, broccoli gravy (2) stuffing (4)
S - ryvita (3) philly (0.5 HEA) milk in teas (0.5 HEA)

i have an achievement - i managed to eat a whole bag of velvet crunch sweet chilli without coughing!! :j it took a lot of concentration but i've now perfected the breathing technique to ensure the flavouring doesn't get me!:rotfl:

hope everyone's having a lovely bank holiday weekend xx
