a post on here caught my eye over the weekend...and now with the Monday blues i cant find it...

but someone had said that some SW Members find that bananas slow down their losses...

is that right for any one... i have 2 / 3 bananas a day :eek:

That was me that posted that. I'm just passing on what i've heard, its not set in stone but some members have experienced a slow loss with too many nanas.
I eat one a day for breakfast usually.

I have 2-3 bananas a day too. As I have to eat when I take my meds I find eating a banana the easiest thing to have especially as soon as I wake. An apple just isn't enough and I know lots of ladies who have a couple of rich tea biscuits with their meds. As I am wheat free and following SW a banana seemed the ideal solution.:eek:

Well done G&B :T. I was my * week last week so I was pleased with how well I did. For some reason though, probably because I'm a freak, I find it's the week after that week that sees me starving hungry. This weekend I've eaten pretty well but I could still have eaten a nuns @rse through the convent railings! Nothing was staving off my hunger. I fell off the wagon of not having anything sweet at all for the last two weeks by having two jaffa cakes last night! Shock horror!

Anyway, we'll see what effect it's had at 5pm when I go to WI. Will be back later with results!

Hi everyone, hope you dont mind me joining.
We've just started looking at slimming world this weekend, going it alone with help from friends that go to the groups, but I have a couple of questions about syn values.
Can anyone tell me what the syn value is of Tescos cranberry and raspberry juice, and also can I have the Aldi version special k original as my healthy extra b on extra easy??
Thanks in advance, I;m sure I will have lots more questions.
Lizzie xxxx

Both bananas and grapes are said to slow weightloss if eaten "to excess", I don't know if they have more sugar or if it's because they are so easy to eat compared with, say, an orange! I did know one lady who was a travelling hairdresser and ate a banana between each customer rather than having a proper Park-nik (that's a picnic while you are parked in your car) and she was gaining rather than losing, bless her!

re food from shops I find if I head to the fish aisle and pick up either a pack of mixed seafood or some giant prawns, then to the take-away snacks aisle and get a packet of fresh pineapple or mango or melon, perhaps a bag of baked crisps or Sunbites, and a bottle of water, that's a nice nosh in the car. Alternatively there's usually ready cooked chicken thighs but you do have to be strong and pull off the skin, and there are always rumous that those rotisserie chickens are injected with oil to make them [STRIKE]slimy [/STRIKE]tasty.

I hope you feel sorry for me, it's a tasting day at ours tomorrow and I decided to take two quiches, one vegetarian (just cheese & onion & eggs) and one not (spring onion, mushroom, smoked salmon and eggs) but the shop only had CATERING size aluminium trays to bake them in, I have no provisions left for the rest of the week!!!! I shall have to take a slice of the quiche in for lunch tomorrow, or starve :eek:
