Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

Hi All,

Does anybody have any ideas for breakfast? I'm following EE and struggling a bit - I'm not a fan of mushrooms or "big" tomatoes so breakfast of egg/potatoes misses out a "superfree" - I might have to try and get some cherry tomatoes and see if they cook okay!

Would a "breakfast" fritatta work? Thinking that that might be something I could do one morning and have half one day, half the next type thing...

I had cereal this morning with 1% milk, and have some milk for tea for the day...

Will have to put myself a list together for shopping later I think.

I agree i do have to stop thinking about calories but after a decade :eek: of counting them its a hard habit to break. I am going to make a concious effort not to think about them in future.



same for me actually. I think portion size is a problem for me, and also before i started SW i was terrible for finishing a meal and going back for more instead of waiting for 20 minutes to see if i was still hungry. More often than not i am not as my meal has filled me up.

You and I are definitely cut from the same cloth! I was a long time calories girl too but wow what a relief not to have to think about counting everything I put in my mouth - I don't miss counting calories at all. Think of this as a positive thing!

I am not offended at all. I needed a bit of a kick to make me see where I was going wrong.:D ATM I am not driving and living in the back of beyond is making me very short on fresh fruit. In fact I have none left!! When I planned a supermarket delivery a friend offered to take me shopping but that has now fallen through and here I am with half a cabbage, an onion, some potatoes,[STRIKE]an orange[/STRIKE], and three peppers. I have lots of frozen vegetables but no fruit!

Last night I even persuaded DH not to make me my usual hot choccie as it is laiden with syns.
Today's dinner plan was veggie sausages, mash and lots of veggies but I don't have any veggie sausages so I am going to have to have a rethink.

I also didn't know about the peas!!:eek: Friday's dinner was going to be SW chips, eggs and lots of peas. Will sweetcorn or runner beans be okay instead of peas? We have lots of eggs ATM as the hens are very productive.

OK green beans, peppers, tinned tomatoes, onions and cabbage - you can make a great veggie stew with this and if you grill that tuna steak you can serve this over it with either a jacket potato or SW chips - voila you have dinner! And you'll have enough of the stew for another meal.

I think you should try and stock up your freezer with lots of frozen veggies, they are going to be your saviour. Make a list of tinned items such as tomatoes, tuna, baked beans and stock up on these when you do a big shop.

I'm not a big fruit lover but I keep frozen berries in the freezer and mix them in with yoghurt. I don't mind fruit salad so if I have an apple, pear, kiwi and some melon I'll chop them all up together.

Happy planning!

I am the frittata queen! That's what I have every morning for breakfast and love it - I use different combinations of veggie - usually from whatever is left over from dinner the night before, or frozen. I always put onion in as I love it, use two eggs and 45g of grated mozzarella cheese. I'm not a cereal person so if I don't have my frittata I'm really stuck with what to have.

For anyone struggling to get a 1/3 rd superfree like i used to.. Blackberry Rum had a great idea - have a bowl of salad before your meal (like you would at Harvester mmmm)

If i'm having chilli or something that doesn't go quite right with extra veg/salad i have a bowl of lettuce, onion, beetroot, pickles and carrot before my main meal..Unfortunately you can't have the bread roll and butter like you would at harvester! :rotfl:

Todays menu

B - apple, yogurt, weetabix(1/2 HEb)
L - spaghetti hoops
T - SW Lasagne(hea of cheese), salad (big to make up for lack of SF at lunch)
S - orange, milk in tea (2), alpen light bar (1/2 Heb) crisps (4)

Hi All :wave:

Well as I guessed, 2lb on!! Am not surprised, only myself to blame, however, today is the start of another week. Now its TOTM, my combination of dyno rod soup & lactulose are not helping my chronic constipation or piles so today I look about 6 months pregnant!!! I have docs on Fri so hopefully once and for all get my bowel problem/pain sorted, sorry if TMI, just needed to offload .

I am another scot who calls a spade a shovel, when my DS was born I said he had hands like shovels :rotfl:

Last nights dinner turned into SW quick chicken, rice n veg stirfry as I had some in freezer and didn't realise pork had to be marinated so tonights dinner will be last nights as I marinaded this morning.

Todays EE plan

B- Berries, melon, pineapple with FF nat yogurt
L - Dyno Rod Soup WM Roll (HEB), melon, pineapple
D - Fajita Pork & Pasta (1 syn & HEA)
S - Milk for coffee 0.5, banana, toffee muller

Sorry Macpep - that made me laugh! Sorry too about the gain but at least you know you deserved it. Anyway forget about it and move on - good luck at the doc.

Good luck to anyone else weighing in and ive found a great way of getting fluids down to you water haters fizzy water 18p a 2litre in tesco n asdas and ya fav squash makes fab pop diet and vimto and water tastes exactly the same and at a far far cheaper than vimto pop ...
