New Year, New You with Slimming World

kareni50

Well I struggled with SP did 6 out of 7 days I miss bananas and Muller lights!!
Syns spent on wine and extra bread and butter I went out to Loch Fyne last week so pleased with WI
Lost 2.5lbs this is my first week of doing SW seriously for about a year so hoping with everyone's help I'll get sorted
Todays Plan
B porridge with water HEB
L beans with scrambled eggs
T steak with salad
HEB 2 fruit ryvitas HEA skimmed milk in coffee
so guess I'll try another SP day maybe do a couple a week then other days probably EE
Do most people plan a weeks menu in advance I tend to look in the fridge and then plan which is a bit hopeless

Enjoy your sausages, mich. My mouth is watering!:D

Many of us seem to have hit a tough patch just now – I’m putting it down to the weather, which has been mostly depressing! However, spring is round the corner, I’m sure, and things will pick up for us all.

Happy thing – I got my outfit for the wedding yesterday. I had said I didn’t want a “mother of the groom” thing, I wanted something to wear again. But it is very weddingy after all. I am pleased with it (and the size was smaller than expected). I just have to get it altered as the top of the dress is a wee bit too big.;)

Well, as predicted, I put on 2lbs last week, so just as well I’ve removed myself from the challenge.

Anyway, here’s today’s plan.

Breakfast: hexb muesli, splash of milk
Lunch: sandwich with cold meat/egg, tomato salad, xl mayo (7 syns), Ski 0% yogurt
Dinner: cheesy ham bake, with cauli & broccoli
Snacks to be decided – hoping to have none until evening, because my grandchildren sent me a pic of a giant :eek: Empire biscuit they are bringing me for Mothers’ Day (it will be shared)!

So far, so good.

I was doing really well for 22 consecutive weeks until I received a SW SOTM Magnet, I've won SOTM 3 times, but this is the first time I've been eligible for the magnet - Other two times I didn't stay for the meeting so couldn't have it, and the other time the computer said no. I thought they were dead expensive or something, but she had hundreds of the things.

I'm going to start passing round a rumour about the SOTM Magnet curse

I always plan my suppers for a week and buy in suitable ingredients for making SW breakfasts and lunches. I do the plan first and then shop to be sure I have always got plenty of SW friendly food in. I think denise plans a month's meals at a time.


I'm confident that planning (and Speed food;)) are the two most important things in being successful on SW.


Your menu for today looks a bit low on Speed food (only salad?). Have you any Speed fruit to snack on to raise it to a third across the day?

Maman,
Thanks for your comments
I will need to get organised after years of doing SW on and off for years I do agree with you about planning


I forgot to add my SF I had tomatoes with lunch and snack on oranges, apples melons and asparagus at tea with salad


I will try and sit down and plan in advance, its almost like a voice inside me that hates to be organised that corrupts my weight loss plan
I might do a weekly plan same thing every week and do shopping list that might work for me except for meals out

I'm really not getting the logic behind SP, I realised at teatime I'd not had any carby stuff as I had a Chilli and lentil soup at lunch time and no mullerlights (unusual for me). i was going to do myself a couple of boiled potatoes with some chicken breast and salad. Instead I had beetroot and pickled cabbage and as a result I could eat an extra HEB, which was two alpen bars.

Doesn't really make much sense.

Me either, i'd rather do an Original/red day - at least then you can have a jacket potato or something more healthy than a cereal bar...

Do you think it's the cost of attending class that puts her off? If she has access to the internet, maybe you could encourage her to join in this thread and go it alone. She obviously knows SW works and with other members of the family to support her she could do well.

Yep LL I think that's it the cost involved with the meetings. I've offered to lend her my SW book if she wants to go it alone, she loves cooking so the meals won't be a problem I think it's just making that leap and committing to the plan.

Today's menu:
B - oats with mullerlight, carrot sticks mid-morning
L - ham and tomato omelette
T - Chicken risotto plus veg

Syns to be decided later

Oh, sorry, I was assuming that was all you were having to eat.:o


I can see a single plan repeated would be easier but it could be very boring too! Plus, I've often hear the consultant advocating variety.


My plan doesn't include meals out, I just cross off those days before I start. I find some batch cooking of meals helps. So today's burgers I made a couple of weeks ago when I had some spare time at weekend. We'll have them maybe twice a month until they're gone. Same with Bolognese etc. I vary it between meals for when I have time to cook and when I don't. And being very mse;) I always start my plan with using up any fresh stuff from the week before.
