Slimming World support thread 2

Had a good Day 2 so far. Successful shopping trip and kept to plan - even resisted a Krispy Kreme! But I think that's down to being able to fit in favourites like McD's if you need them - I enjoyed every mouthful knowing I could have it legitimately instead of feeling guilty & thinking Oh I've spoilt my diet now might as well pig out for the rest of the day/week/month!

Stuffed now though!

Here's hoping Day 3 is good- my danger zone as have a study day so home alone with DD at school & DH at work I'm like most of you who see empty house as licence to eat - either that or get bored & want to go out for lunch which is happening too much & is not good for waistline or pocket! Trying hard to cut it down!

Enjoy what's left of the sunshine x

Hi Mrs_Ryan, what are the syn values for the midweek mini roasties? We have some in the freezer :-)

Hi LLS it's 1.5 per 100g. I literally only have a couple but I count it for 100g anyway

Yemma- hello fellow OU'er! Which module you doing? I'm doing AA100 towards English BA.

On the torture implement- I mean exercise bike while OH cooks t. Spent all afternoon frantically finishing my NVQ as my tutor leaves on Tuesday and I asked if she could sign it off before then as I was about finished.

Hope everyone's ok x

Please does anyone know how many syns in a Morrisons Meat free breakfast, cant find it anywhere.I didn't have breakfast this morning so it was a Brunch thing, 740 calories and not really very hungry so think if I have a light dinner it will limit the damage a bit.

Does anyone know if Alpen no added sugar can be used as an HEb? the ones in the book say the Dorset Muesli etc. but I have Alpen in the house. I'll syn it otherwise.
I found a post on Minimins from 2011 saying it used to be an HEb but no longer. Maybe that is still the case, oh well.

Hi everyone! I haven't been online for a few days so have lots to catch up on. I hope you are all doing ok.

I have had a bit of a low week. Been feeling quite down, but I am not really sure why. I am getting a decent amount of sleep each night, but still feel absolutely exhausted and really struggle to get out of bed in the mornings. By the time I get home from work I feel like I could sleep for a week. I saw the doctor a few months ago, before it got this bad, and she told me I am doing too much. But, with work, being a student, and being a mum, I dont really have the option to do any less and I just have to get on with it.

Anyway, this week has consisted of 2 take aways, 1 meal out and lots of crisps and biscuits. Somehow I have only gained +1lb. I don't know how it wasn't much more! I am trying to get back on plan. Have had a huge roast dinner today with loads of super free and have some berries defrosting for when the sweet tooth hits this evening.

The tesco Cumberland were quite nice (for diet sausages) & I'm fussy about sausages, nice & peppery.

WW Premium Cumberland Sausages, chilled 8 pack, 50g each - 0.5 syn

WW Premium Pork Sausages, chilled 8 pack, 50g each - 0.5 syn

WW Premium Thick Pork Sausages, chilled 6 pack, 67g each -1 syn


My personal favourite, for diet sausages that is are the Sainsburys Be Good To Yourself at 1 syn each.

No it can't be used as a HEB any more and it's 4.5 for 25g if you syn it.:(


I've had a fairly on plan day but when we were out DH decided he'd have a cream tea (only stopped for a cuppa) and a mouthful of scone with jam and cream came my way. I did enjoy it but why oh why is it so hard to eat healthy when you're out!


Did have a bit of a NSV as I'm convinced the sun brings out the worst in so many people. I saw so many in what must have been last year's (or maybe 10 years ago;)) summer clothes. But they obviously don't fit any more and they're bursting out of them. We are doing so well to get that weight off!:D


You did well do get away with a pound kitty. Be sure to stay on plan before anything else catches up although it is tough with everything you've got on.:)

Evening, glad it's been a good day for us all.

Sunday's menu started out quite well
Breakfast: mackerel in tomato sauce on hexb toast
Lunch: less than half pack of Batchelor's Cheese & Broccoli pasta made with hexa milk from allowance and butter (my share 60ml ss milk, 7g butter 2.5 syns), cherry tomatoes, Shape raspberry yogurt, banana

Then off to football where I had a Scotch pie (because everyone else was having one!)
Then,sadly, we lost so I was forced to comfort eat.
Dinner at DD's: delicious North Indian lamb curry with plain boiled rice, and a plain mini naan (8.5 syns), followed by a delicious lemon tart (just looked this up :eek: 20.5 syns :eek:, strawberries and single cream (2 syns - don't know why I bothered limiting how much I had when I see those tart syns!)
Snacks so far: Scotch pancake and raspberry jam (1 syn), Jacobs mint club (6 syns)

So, today's total - so far;): 40.5 + Scotch pie + Scotch pancake
Syns Bank: 14.5 - Scotch pie - Scotch pancake (1 day left before WI)

That defeat was a double whammy! I think I'm going to have to be very restrained tomorrow
