A Slimmer Summer with Slimming World

What are these velvet crunch things that people seem to have? I'm hoping it's a low syn chocolatey treat I can embrace into my life....!

I have a confession to make.... I am a bit bored of eating fruit :eek:

I genuinely love the stuff, always have, but seem to be getting through TONS lately. So far today I have had a banana, big orange, small apple and a whole punnet of cherries. Not to mention the carrot/radishes/ cherry toms in my salad. Over the last week I reckon I have eaten a good £30 worth.

Does anyone have any other low syn (free!) and lower ££ suggestions to snack on at work?

I may be about to answer my own question here, but I think I've fallen into the habit of not embracing the more calorie laden 'free' SW foods. I don't think im eating much meat, pasta etc even on days where it should be unlimited. Maybe thats where i'm going wrong and then trying to fill up on fruit too much

Sorry about my meltdown last night guys I'm alright, it's just that RL is a bit carp at the mo. Mum has terminal cancer and it just gets to me occaisionally, especially if I've been on the sauce

Back to food, and I'm having a good EE day today.

B: satsuma, alpen light (.5 HEB)
S: samosas (1.5), apple, velvet crunch (4)
L: chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, laughing cow light triangle (part HEA), maybe a tin of sardines if I'm not full by then
S: alpen light bar (.5 HEB), muller light, satsuma
sw lasagne (1.5), salad, maybe sw chips too, skinny cow lolly (3.5)
Rest of HEA is milk in teas

Out at bingo tonight and drinks will definately be sprite zero.

Sadly not, they are a savoury crisp like thing in chilli flavour but I think they do cheese & onion & Salt & vingear as well.

I find eggs really good for filling you up. I am decidedly less snacky when I have a couple of eggs for brekkie!

Hi there -I would call it a red day -syn the peas and corn as you then get an extra A+B to play with -although I can't see where you have used any yet -so you will have 2A+Bs -so you could always add cheese to your cauli topping mmmmmm

Thank you Mrs M, I will do just that

Hello
Here I am. I've been off doing something I haven't done for as long as I can remember.... having some FUN!!! I'm a single mum and never get to go out, but have made some new friends at work - haven't been there that long but have clicked with a few people, so I went out and let my hair down on Sunday night. However, the amount of red wine that I got through hasn't agreed with me and I've had rotten tummy probs ever since.
So, back to it now, have had an egg sandwich so far today, really should find somethng else to eat. I think I'll have pasta with cheese tonight (both my A choices) and an early night, and then do some cooking tomorrow.
Oh, and that lb I gained on Saturday was gone on Sunday morning, and had taken another one away with it!!!!

hi all & well done on all the losses.

I've been really good all weekend hardly any syns (except the usual beer syns). Also did lots of walking - 7 miles on Sunday.
WI last night & another 2 lbs off - thats 4 in total.

OH really wants a chineese tonight! What to do!!!!!
