A Slimmer Summer with Slimming World

MRSMCAWBER

Goooood morning all

Made it here eventually.... I was at the gym for 8am :j I decided to see if I could better my 3km run from last time annnnnd I DID -I did 5km and felt fine *apart from the beetroot face* :rotfl:-it took me 45 mins -so Im no Sally Gunnell -but I did burn exactly 500cals. Im really confuddled as I feel absolutely nothing in my joints or muscles I expected to "feel" it -but I don't -the only thing I get is my big ole day glo face - still I will be grateful for small mercies. Anyway I then walked home *in the pouring rain* so thats my exercise for the day -Im hoping I can convince myself to do it monday and wednesday every week and then with the 1hrs badminton on Fridays I should about have the bulk of my exercise covered each week

Well done on the losses folks :T
super well done Wootball on all those inches lost :T
Hiya SHAZ -thankyou lovely, Im getting there.... We are back out in Germany at the moment but will be back for good towards the end of the year

On the book front - "world of flavours" is my fave -BUT I have always used much less liquid than they suggest and "tweaked" them :rotfl:, I have most of the new ones but truth be told my fave recipes have all come from adaptations of *normal* recipes -I reall should get my a*se into gear and start copying my recipes over to the recipe thread

Rockie -my hubby is a pain -the flip flops don't leave his feet until we have at least 1" of snow on the ground :rotfl: - I weeded out his stuff yesterday and now he has post it notes on the drawer fronts saying whats in there -Its an attempt to stop his random rummaging *bet it doesn't work* :mad:

SO then my red carb curfew should look like this:-
7am
1 grapefruit
banana
12pm
hm humus (B+0.5)
3 ryvitas (B)
tomatoes
cucumber
tickled onions
tickled beetroot
tickled cabage
4pm
activia (2.5)
5 brazil nuts (5)
5 x 1/2 walnuts (5)
7pm
meat -yet to be decided
lettuce
cucumber
tomatoes
raddish
peppers
tickled cabbage
tickled beetroot
tickled onions
500ml semi (2 x A)
SO that makes 2A+Bs and 13 syns sorted
We will be nipping out this evening -for yet more milk and salad stuff and a few other bits -so until then Im doing very little
Right Im off to catch up... have a great day everyone....[

Lastly, where do people get the velvet crips from and who are they made by? I often fancy a bag of crisps but cant seem to find these ones?

I have seen them in Mr M & Mr T - not sure who makes them - not really a crisp person - unless they are worchestershire sauce flavour french fries mmmmm:drool:

Morning all!! Hope everyone had a great weekend, I don't think mine went too badly (albeit, not totally to plan) Saturday is takeaway/eat out night in our house, I opted for the chicken kebab (takeaway this week) Figuring just the pitta would need to be synned. However OH decided to 'accidently' buy a LARGE Chips by mistake, so I ended up eating some of those as they smelt soooo good and I couldn't bear to see them go to waste (probably gone to my waist though!) I hadn't had any other syns that day so that wobble aside I pretty much stuck to plan, which I'm pleased with.
This thread is so inspiring, hearing everyones struggles and successes always seems to help me focus and with only 6 more WI until my hols I do really need to stay focussed. Keep going everyone. XX

My inch loss has just hit me. A while ago, I struggled to get into size 22 work trousers- in fact, I had to re-position the button on them I hadn't really thought much about other clothes, but my jeans were tight (and most of them contained some sort of stretch) and I lived the rest of my life in stretchy jodphurs, or skirts which never really got too small because they just sat a bit higher

I've just worked the weekend in size 20 trousers which were constantly falling down! I've only just bought them, and they are stretchy, hence why I thought I fit into them when I tried them on. But this is the biggie: I bought a pair of jgoging bottoms from next (same shop as trousers) and had to buy size 18 to get them long enough - thought this would be ok as I wear them with a baggy t-shirt and obviously they stretch. They arrived today, and I tried them on and realised that they fitted perfectly, and a size 20 would have been too big!

I think my problem is also that I have very funny shaped thighs at the moment - my horse riding muscles must be melting/turning into fat (I'm pretty active all things considered at the mo, but no horse riding) and causing this weird shaping. Looking forward to that disappearing!

I have also noticed that I have abs! They are underneath a good layer of padding but I have a 4 pack when I tense them - so excited as I have never had that before, and I can't wait to strip back the layer of padding to be able to see them properly!

Woot - I was thinking I hadn't seen you on here recently. Good luck for the wedding and congrats on target/0.5lbs away.

nessie, i would generally offer cyber hugs, but in all honestly you really dont need them, so i will save for someone who does lol.

Your post made me cry laughing (considering i am sat in the library that wasnt good lol!) When i have a bad day i will surely remind myself of your post - so thanks for that lol

WI for me tonight. I have been off plan at weekend, but more not eating than eating too much so i expect a loss - just hope it doesnt hamper next weeks weight tho - you know what its like you forget to eat for a day or 2 and your body just likes to hold onto anything you feed it!

EE today
B - 2 x alpen lights (HE)
APPLE

L - not too sure yet - prob tuna and sweetcorn salad with vlf mayo (2syns) pear and strawbs

D - cottage pie sw version with green beans, cauli and brocoli, gravy 2 syns

S - i STILL have the aero i have been threatening to eat for 3 weeks lol, i post every day i will eat ot but never seem to get round to it. I may leave it there s a personal mission as to how long i can resist!

muller lights, milk for other HE

Well done loosers whoo! :T:T:T:T

ohh these are my absolute fave and i have a packet every day at work... my Oh can't believe i'm not sick of them yet. Whoever had the idea of bringing out a multipack was a genius in my eyes! :rotfl:

Is it King that make the Velvet Crunch... The Chilli ones are lurvley but they really make me cough!!!

Well after the weekend that i've had (much like yours Nessie) i'm not going to lose this week, but i've dusted myself down and started a fresh today... I reckon i've put on a couple of lbs so i'll be losing them again next week!!

So green day for me

B - apple, yogurt, choc weetabix (2)
L - spaghetti hoops, french fries (4)
T - chinese pork, noodles and stir fry veg (HEB)
S - apple, orange, milk in tea(HEA), ryvita fruit crunch (HEB)

*ahem* I would like to say that I have lost 4lbs

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and runs around the room like a loonatic!!

Considering I only weighed myself on Thursday 12th I can't imagine what I was on Monday!

Starting weight*(4 days after starting SW) 19.11 st
Week 1 - 19.7 st

Nessie I'm so glad I wasn't the only one with a bonkers weekend - I was abducted by the Eurovision Essex Fairies who held me down and forced me to have fabulous cocktails and 'stuff'

Probably didn't help that I baked cupcakes with glitter frosting for the event and took some home *headdesk* Must. Not. Take. Cakes. Home. Ever!!

I'm really proud of the fact that I didn't stuff my face when I normally do. Food was buffet style, veggie pizza, garlic bread, olives, crisps, jacket potatoes, salad etc.
I enjoyed myself properly but was rather clever about it if I may say so...I just can't help wondering how much I must have weighed on Monday if I had all this 'fun stuff' and then still lost 4lbs.

I've not yet attacked my food cupboard with a marker pen, but that will happen as soon as I find my old SW book...promise.

Today...(probably keeping it green)
B - Cup of tea (I forgot breakfast, just got busy at work) skimmed milk (HEA)
L - left over rice and quorn bolognaise (with sweetcorn), HUGE salad and 3 tbsp Kraft Low fat French dressing (1.5 syns)
D - Baked potato, beans and goat's cheese (HEA)

snacks - Muller yoghurt I was meant to have for breakfast, apple
syns - 5 x chocfingers (7.5 syns)

I bought two boxes of Alpen light bars so might have one as a HEB snack tonight

right - now back to work...Have a fantastic Monday everyone *hugs*

Have just made a saucepan full of butternut squash soup as never had it before and people say how nice it is - think it will end up in the bin as its awful. _pale_ Wont be making it again. Found it a bit to sweet and sickly. Not to worry at least we have tried it.

Having a EE day today -

B - Yogurt
L - Jkt potato with some bolognaise sauce and salad.
T - S. W chicken Tikka Masala with rice and salad. (The curry is out of a 2003 mag)

Snacks - fruit
HEA - milk for drinks HEB - couple of ryvitas later on.
Sysn - not sure yet but will have some.

Will weigh on Thursdays now as this is the day that we go to the sister at G.P's
Good luck to everyone and well done to Wootball :T

Well done vmonsta - a great loss and heres to another succesful week.
