Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

rachbc

strange thing happened to me at dinner - piled my plate with veg, a chicken thigh and a few fat free roasties. About 3/4 of the wya through I was full - I stopped and dint finish...I am definitely noticing more when I am full rather than carrying on eating just cos its thre.

There was still a litte room in my separate pudding stomach though ;-)

Hi there everyone,
I want to thank each and everyone of you that supported me when I posted yesterday.
Your help and advice was invaluable and I felt that others cared. This site has some wonderful people on it, ready to offer their help and support to anyone in need.
I look forward to reading the various posts and feel more in tune with others, knowing were all in the same boat, hoping to achieve the same goal!
I am going to cut out the fruit and see if that helps me.
I will of course keep you updated on my progress, good or bad!
Cheers everyone! Your real stars :beer:

Hi I am thinking of doing SW never done it before but after reading the last 2 mags its full of things i would eat (I can be fussy). I cant do class only one near me is 9.30 in a morning and i am working full time, had a look online at books etc but comparing prices etc seems the online way may work out cheaper - 3 months and some mags etc thrown in.

Has anyone else done online is it worth it?

Thanks

Hi-I've just joined SW as I've had an operation that means i can't exercise for 6 weeks and 4 weeks in I've put on half a stone! Mind you I was really bad over easter-chocolates, 2 Chineses, wine and bread! I hope you don't mind if I join the thread for a bit of support and advice. I want to lose 19lbs in all. I joined a class on Thursday and have really enjoyed the diet so far-I just hope it works for me. Have already eaten a load more veg and fruit than I normally would and no chocolate or crisp or toast so feeling positive!

Evening all!

Been really busy in the kitchen today lunch was a quick chicken salad, had lots of watermelon today and dinner was pork roast(just ate the non fatty bits) with cauliflower... I also prepared 3 lunches for the next 3 days: made some couscous and added veg, chicken, prawns etc. They look great!

Syn wise today I had the greek muller(0.5), an extra alpen light(3?), a galaxy cake bar(6) and some mayo(5?)

Stocked up on food too so except for some fresh veg&fruit to get during the week we should be ok until next weekend

Wish you all a good SW week!

PS. Gettingthere54 I hope your weight loss will take up again, can't see why not if you're being good all the best xx

I'm just making syn free soft cheese from a recipe on Mini-Mins. I can't post a link from my iPad, but basically you season 0% Total yogurt with salt pepper and garlic, put it in a clean muslin in a sieve the put a weight on top to force the liquid out? You leave it in the fridge overnight, then in the morning you should be left with a syn free Boursin type cheese. I'd only eat it with a meal as I know it's not technically 'free' but as there's no fat in it I figure it'll make a nice change from cottage cheese.

Hmmm sounds nice, might try that. I often wonder why paneer is so heavily synned. You make it with milk (so skimmed wd be fine I assume), brought to blood heat and then add a spoonful of lemon juice or vinegar. It separates and you tip the curds into a cloth over a sieve, the same way you describe. The thing about paneer is that it doesn't melt down if you heat it, so it's more like chunks of tofu.

I found a fab book in the library today, I even brought it home instead of loading it onto the Kindle: Skinny Meals in Heels, by Jennifer Joyce. Not entirely SW (uses various breads, and a little oil) but getting there, gives the timings for making food after work or preparing in advance!

Today I made the Bengali kofta curry out of the last magazine.

It was FAB!!! I would heartily recommend it!
