Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

WI and half a pound off of the pound put i on last week. i suspect its purely due to additional walking round the office rather than sitting in all day because my diet hasn't been the most SW one this week!

went to a baby shower yesterday and was really good and resisted everything there even the GIANT cupcakes, Friday is shopping day so I called at supermarket on my way home and ended up taking on a glass bottle and losing a front tyre on the car :mad: should have eaten the bad food and gone shopping this morning!

I hate to tell you but Onken yoghurts are NOT free - even the fat free ones. I've checked on syns online and the fat free vanilla yog is 5 syns per 450g pot.... Sorry!

Thanks for that Cyclingyorkie. 5 syns for the whole pot is still very good though hey? I reckon I must have had 2 tablespoons which would be very hard to estimate from a big 450g pot. I'll err on the side of caution and say 1 syn.:)

Tonight I cooked some salmon steaks in foil and we had little new potatoes roasted in their skins (Frylite) and some salad.

For pud I stewed some rhubarb (with artificial sweetner) and lemon juice and we had Onken Fat free vanilla yoghourt poured over - just like custard really.

It was a really nice meal and I'm hoping it is just the stewed rhubarb I have to syn. 1 syn for 100g. I'm doing EE and still puzzled by how much we can eat.

The natural fat free Onken is free, as is Aldi's own brand. I buy this for putting on cereal or cooking. For putting on fruit, I prefer Total 0% which is far more creamy and also syn free. Just noticed that Asda have a free rhubarb and vanilla yogurt which might make a nice topping.

MM, I'm so sorry you are feeling like that. Your long term goal is 100% do-able. Try to get into a mindset that if you look/feel better after losing a single stone then how much better you'll be after 2st, 3st etc. I hope you're eating well today as your shopping basket sounded SW perfect. Incidentally, while I know it would have speeded things up I didn't really exercise doing SW so if you have to ease up because of the weather you should be fine. I'm not saying that exercise isn't beneficial for all sorts of reasons just that it's posssible to lose by healthy eating alone. What about a stroll in the early morning/evening? I find that can help enormously by having time to think.:A

Well, son arrived back from uni and politely told me I do not look scrawny!
I put on a pound this week which is scary because I only loosened the reins a bit!
So still plodding on and trying to get back in the groove. Must not celebrate the prodigals return with drink and snacks though.

Been good so far, weekends are my downfall!

Coffee
Weetabix x 2, milk, sugar(1.5), tea
Grapes, yoghurt

Just making dinner, early I know but I start work at 5pm so need to eat then get there - SW chips, bacon and cheese omelette and beans, tea.

Only a few syns so far, I allow myself more on a saturday as my job is very physical, so plenty left for something later.

Havent been on for a while (got loads of posts to read back and catch up on)..I got my 1stone award last Tuesday,was a great boost,so next day i decided to treat myself to some nice canvas/jean type trousers from New Look...but no happy cos i had to take the size 14,and they were kinda tight!!! (im 5ft 7,and 10st10),and it looks like im still a 14....Ggrr,...i was hoping only to need to lose another couple of pounds to get to target,but since my target is a size 12,rather than an actual weight,it looks like i might have to lose a bit more yet.

We got told this the other night - apparently they make them with sugar now instead of sweetner. One lady at class had been eating a whole big tub every day thinking they were free :eek: and then put on weight.. She was having the peach or vanilla one i think..

Well done on your loss Evilsquid..:T

Bit of an odd day for me as I haven't planned - so calling it red

Brunch - 2 sausages (1), 1.5 low carb bread oopsie thingies, onion
Lunch - none, see above
Tea - jacket potato cut into wedges(Heb), pickles, M&S plaice (5.5)
Snacks - satsuma, pitta bread crisps(6.5), 2 ryvita crunch (Heb), milk in tea (hea)

Cookin Mama I bet if you tried on say a M&SW size 14 they would be too big and a 12 would fit.
I think certain brands are mean size wise and NewLook would be one of them.
