Heading for winter with Slimming World

Voyager0001

Grrrr just typed a post and it disappeared!
Anyway, I usually stick to EE as I find it easier for me.
Today's food:
Breakfast - None - naughty I know but I didn't feel like eating anything and wasn't hungry.
Lunch - 2 eggs, 2 rashers bacon, baked beans, 1 slice ww bread for toast, squirt of tomato ketchup (2 syns?)
Dinner - H/M slimming world chicken & potato curry, plain rice. Muller light yoghurt & sug free jelly.
Snacks: Apple, banana & strawberries
Tea, coffee & diet coke.
My downfall at the weekends is alcohol! I usually have a couple of vodka and diet cokes per night and will syn these at 3 each.

My DH and daughters quite often eat the same meals as me during the week and I've had no complaints so far!!

I feed hubby and DD the same as me, not making different meals! DH is on SW anyway and has lost over a stone in 3 weeks.

I give DD extra cheese/ketchup etc and she usually has something sweet after her meal as she is super skinny and needs fattened up a bit.

I use my syns for alcohol too, that's my idea of a treat:D I think you must be having very tiny measures at 3 syns. I checked and vodka is 4 syns for 35ml. That's what I use for a G&T but compared with 2 syns for a dollop ketchup it's well worth it!

My DH has enjoyed all SW meals put in front of him this year without a word of complaint and he's looking trim into the bargain. He likes the healthy eating aspect but I do get him a few extra treats to have (biscuits that I don't like!). Fortunately he's a veg fan as well so I can throw all the extras into curry, chilli, bolognese etc and he never murmurs.

That weight loss is amazing:eek:

I can't be doing with cooking separate meals for everyone. They either like it or lump it lol!

I hope my DH doesn't lose any - he's already a skinny old bag of bones.

Having a tough old day - really wanting to snack on biscuits but have resisted so far. I found some roasted chick peas in the shop - they have only chickpeas listed as an ingredient and certainly don't feel or look greasy either. Fat is listed as a little under 5% which the same as for boiled chickpeas so I am assuming it's fine to eat as chickpeas are free on green and EE. That said, they don't satify the craving like a choccy bicky would!

Aargh! Just dug out scales and I'm just under11 stone, which is too much for someone my height - just makes me more determined!

I am sure I was the curry cubes in the SW magazine and they were free!

Hello everyone,....
Some white wine (again, must actually measure this properly!)

Choose your favourite (and non-expensive) glass, measure wine into it and put a little line on the outside with nail polish, then you don't need to measure again!

How do you manage this? My OH is a veg-phobe and it makes planning meals quite difficult, I end up making 2 things sometimes! Do you literally blend the veggies into the sauce? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Blended vegetables cooked with some spices or ready mixed curry powder will make a nice curry sauce,you can cook some meat in there and potatoes too if you like and you have a ready made meal and they'll never notice the vegetables. There is of course the famous mushy pea curry, that also involves tinned tomatoes (superfree vegetables) and to it you can add frozen chopped spinach they'll never know and some blended carrots.

I think they are free too.

Hello all, just waiting for my (version of) stuffed marrow off the BBC website to cook. Supposed to have chorizo in it but I made the mistake of buying that a day early and .... ate it :eek:. So I just put loads of vegetables including some lovely dried mushrooms and lots of seasoning, it's about done now I think. And to follow I've picked more blackberries and cooked some b/berry & apple with sweetener and cloves and cinnamon and just whisked an egg white to mix with sweetener to make blackberry and apple meringue - I AM STARVING. Will report back on my free super (and solitary, no-one available to eat with me) supper!

Back home a few days early from a very soggy camping trip. Had a couple of nice days though. Definately going to save up and go abroad next year. Ate a load of rubbish most days (pain au chocolate, doritos, lots of lager, and a fantastic all you can eat meal) but stepped on the scales last night and don't seem to have put anything on. Must have been all the badminton I played with the kids. Not going to group next week either as DH is having an op that day. Back on plan today though, EE as usual:

B: mullerlight, plum, milk in teas (part HEA)
L: ham salad sandwich (HEB) ex light mayo (0.5), dairylea light triangle (part HEA), velvet crunch (4)
sw lasagne, sw wedges, salad. skinny cow lolly (3.5)

Still on holiday for another week, so I must try to resist the beers

Been for the footballers wife lunch and had a spinach, goats cheese and pine nut tartlet (that was the size of digestive biscuit - teeny!), plain jacket spud and salad - so it could have been worse. I don't like coffee so had two diet cokes - was quite pleased with myself. Didn't see anyone famous either - don't think WAGs go out in the rain:rotfl:

oh, did I mention the small piece of coffee and walnut cake? No? Couldn't have been me eating it then!:o

Not at all hungry so may have something little later -will see how it goes. I have walked the dog for about an hour today to try to minimse the damage.

Are you doing green red or EE Inspirespirit?
.

I am doing EE. Or at least trying to get my head around it at the moment.

Today I have had.

Break. 1 slice wholemeal bread, one slice bacon, toms, mushrooms.
lunch. Jacket potato with salmon salad.
Dinner. Chilli and rice.

Snack. two ryvitas (cracked black pepper ones, couldn't find the syns but counting 2.5 each), with 2 LW E light triangles on each and tomatoes, pickled onion.

muller light/raspberries.

I rarely drink hot drinks. (actually I don't drink enough). I drink mainly water, sometimes with a tiny bit of sugar free squash, and of course wine at the weekend which I'm hoping not to have this weekend.

Magnolia Your weight loss is amazing.

You are all very inspirational, and reading what people are eating daily is really helpful.
