Be Awesome in Autumn with Slimming World

Wow to shala and beanie - fab losses :T

Last night's macaroni cheese experiment was quite nice. It seemed to me like it was trying to mask the lack of cheesy sauce with garlic though :rotfl:. It said that it was 2 syns a portion which can only have been the cheese, so I reckon if I made it again I'd use a full 4 HEA of cheese so there would be one per portion, and perhaps only one clove of garlic. Good thing me and hubby weren't going anywhere

It was basically this :- http://www.slimmingworld.com/recipes/cheats-leek-macaroni-cheese.aspx but with added courgettes and mushrooms. I did some carrots and green beans as a side as well - lots of food and very filling!

Happy Halloween!




STS FOR ME LAST NIGHT SHALA

Have given myself a good boot up the backside - can literally feel the weight I've gain around my middle its not comfortable and its a constant reminder - maybe that's a good thing. I missed flat belly class and step this week and I wonder is it all hanging out as such due to that.


I will have a loss on Thursday!!!!!!


Gym tonight for sure


No more nonsense for me - target here I come. Time to get a grip!!!


Your losses keep me inspired! : ) :T

:T Brilliant losses shala and beanie. Well done!!:TI wouldn't rely on it just being labelled 'steak mince' you have to read the fat content. Sainsbury's label both 10% and 5% steak mince and Tesco 12%.

I'm glad you and beanie can see the difficulties. If we'd been at home rather than out with people I could have offered her a pile of old magazines (including SW) and that might have opened a conversation. I'm sure I'll get an opportunity soon.

website says 2 syns for a tbsp. and half for a tsp.

Agree with everything Maman has said, except for the chocshots I'd go for 3 tsp @ 1.5 syns rather than 1 Tbs for 2 syns (3 tsp = 15g; 1 Tbs = 15g!) Think SW are being a bit naughty there by upping the syns if you have a Tbs!

Having another EE day today:

B - mushroom omlette
L - ham salad sandwich spread with LTL mayo instead of butter
D - sausage, bean & chorizo stew with rice. I'm only using 30g of chorizo in the whole thing so works out at 2 syns for 4 portions so my portion will work out at just 0.5. I also use my local butchers sausages which are also only 0.5 each.

HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - 2.5 for the stew; not sure what else yet
Syns -

I ended up going over by 4 syns yesterday as had 4 Ryvitas for my HEB in the evening so had 20g of butter (5g on each) which took me over but not too much to pull back.

Ooh thanks mich, joedenise and maman - definitely going to get some to try


Today I looked up the syns in a McD's breakfast out of curiosity as I drive past one on the way to work and hate to admit I am partial to a breakfast muffin and a hash brown...needless to say I won't know unless it is the only option and I can have a few low syn days afterwards!


Yesterdays syns were minimal; co-worker made me some rice and dahl for lunch (so yummy! she is a star) for which I am going to count 5 (didn't have much as I filled up on fruit beforehand so only 3 tbsp. dahl and not much more in rice) for tea I had a jacket tattie with baked beans, remaining HeA in cheese, a pile of salad and some sliced lean roast pork


Today:
Breakfast: HeB toast with a banana sliced over it. cup of tea
elevensies: apple and NAS squash
Lunch: more dahl (5), pepsi max, green grapes and a Satsuma
afternoon smackerel: NAS squash and a Satsuma
Tea: I'm thinking savoury mince made with Heinz minestrone (a cheat bf taught me - divine!) 3.5syn with mash for me, Yorkshires for bf


Bf will have a waffle with jam and cream for dessert - any idea of syns in egg waffles? trying to find on google but limited success. Beginning to wonder if in the new year I pay for an online membership maybe.


Going to buy some scales today I think to have at home


Already feeling a little lighter/better in myself so hoping for good things when I next weigh

Thanks for the response Mamam. I should have put it that it was the butcher steak mince, I have a feeling if i ask him i will a. have to repeat myself about 5 times and b. get the answer he thinks i want to hear and not perhaps the truth

Hello. Am I too late to join? I've been reading through the thread and love how you all motivate each other. I've been trying SW at home (previous group member - three times!!!) but keep falling by the wayside. Need something to keep me on track.
