Getting Slimmer in 16 with Slimming World

Tete_en_l'Air

Good evening! Happy birthday BEG and well done to HurdyGurdy for SOTW! Some other fab losses rolling in as well, brilliant everyone!

After yoga last night I got the serious munchies and went and ate a punnet of raw mushrooms! I was quite proud of myself.

Today:
B - Watermelon
D - Mug shot, Mullerlight, tangerine
T - Pork chop (fat removed), grilled toms, and courgette and mushrooms stir fried with soy sauce.
HEA - Milk in drinks
HEB - 1x Alpen Light
Syns - Sugar in coffee (5) (yikes I've drunk a lot of coffee today!), Milky Way (5), extra milk (1), hot chocolate later on (3) - Total 14

I'm feeling quite uninspired food-wise, need to dig my recipe books out and do some shopping.

Some really good losses coming in so far today. :T to orlao, arkers and marksshell,

That sounds like a good plan from your tournament weekend lush. Lots of people at my group eat at the Harvester, it's really easy to have an on plan meal there. For hotel breakfasts, I find they rarely do wholemeal bread but lots do fruit or HEB cereals for starters. For your Sunday tea, is that eating out too? What about a carvery or is it something easy to come home to?


Not seen wiz about. Hope you're OK if you're lurking?


ETA: I would think that Melba toasts are fine as syns as they aren't even HEBs. I'd have thought you should have an extra HEB as you're not meant to do it long term so it should apply to any full day just like extras do on Green an d Red days. I've not read that you can't but it's rarely discussed in my group after the initial explanation a year ago.

Thanks I'll have a think about what I could use my extra heB for - I think I'll take a fresh look at the list as I tend to always have cereal as my heB so sometimes forget there are options beyond cereal and bread!!

Not going to post today's plan as it's identical to yesterday, except the treat size fudge was replaced with a treat size curly wurly and my evening syns were 7 syns of chocolate - still eating bits of a broken up lindt santa and reindeer I got for Christmas :rotfl:

I had my first ever trip to Harvester a few weeks ago and must say I struggled to know what to choose because I was nervous about the various glazes and sauces. What would people recommend as good SW friendly choices?

Made a nice parsnip soup in soup maker today.
Was lush even if I say it myself.
Pity I spoilt it by eating biscuits.

Distinct attack of "the munchies" today. Had a main meal (syn free) at lunchtime today - so dinner started with a bit of boiled brown rice cooked with smallest possible amount of my milk "ration" and fruit and added sweetness with tiny bit of ChocShot, then I had two slices of wholemeal toast (from "ration") and I'm still hungry - so I'm boiling up 2 hardboiled eggs for myself.

Think it must be the cold weather doing this....

I do hope those boiled eggs in a minute are going to do the trick - as it feels too cold to have sparkling mineral water with squeeze of lemon I've been having to "fill" my stomach sometimes.

When you're doing SW you don't need to starve yourself. If you follow the plan, which you are, you can eat as much as you need to satisfy your appetite. You didn't have much protein with your evening meal so I think the eggs will definitely help you feel full. If not, have a syn free yogurt, or an apple, some cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks... Any free food you like, bearing in mind that 1/3rd of your food intake needs to be speed food if you're doing extra easy.

Congratulations on your loss, Arkers, orlao and marcsshell.

Hope you recover quickly, BelsyBoop.

Jings, it will be confusing with Chinese New Year and Pancake Tuesday! Any ideas for fusion food?

I was doing fine until the family came for dinner. Dinner was fine too. BUT my delightful grandchildren brought me some Tunnocks Tea Cake rocky road that they’d made and insisted that I eat I there and then; I tried, “I’ll have it later for my supper,” but their wee faces just crumpled with disappointment and I had to do the right wrong thing, iyswim! Sorry.

So today is written off. Put the past behind me and move on.

Wednesday
Breakfast: grapefruit & boiled eggs
Lunch: hm lentil soup
Dinner: lamb leg steaks, potatoes, kale, cauliflower & mint sauce (1), sf jelly ( ½ ) & berries
Snacks: apple, fun size Twix (5), Skyr blueberry & elderberry yogurt (1)

Getting back on track.

Weigh in day for me today and lost another 2lbs.

Really pleased with that as feel like I'm finally back on track after losing the plot in November, December and early January! I'm mainly eating the same meals so need to dig out the recipe books and get some inspiration now I'm back into the swing of things.

Well done to everyone else posting losses and hang in there for those feeling frustrated. I'm hoping over the next week or so work will calm down enough for me to get on here more and catch up with you all properly.

I'm following the old Green Plan - as I originally did the Slimming World diet (successfully) some years back and have kept the books. I don't have to concern myself with the fact that the "formula" of many convenience foods might have changed in the meantime - as I eat very few convenience foods.

I have quite a bit of fresh fruit and vegetables anyway (I recently realised a friends definition of "enough fruit for a family for a week" is my definition of "enough fruit for me for a week") - and have rather upped the amount of fresh vegetables since starting the diet (which I suspect could be why the weight seems to be coming off reasonably fast - if not fast enough for my liking:().

Hopefully there won't be any more "starving hungry" days. That was the second one I've experienced since starting the diet.

Girds loins again and reminding myself that my figure is one of the few things in my life that I do have control over. I cant control what Society, the weather or my income do - but I can control my figure and make sure that's exactly what I decide it will be (ie size 10-12).

Right - time to get breakfast for size 14 me and console myself that at least its not size 16 any more. I cant be looking that bad already - as a pretty slim person was obviously genuine when they told me yesterday that I don't need to lose any. They got invited to take a good look at my stomach sideways - ie to prove I do because its still bulging somewhat:rotfl:

- 1.5 lbs for me please Shala Very cold here again today. Lots of good losses coming in. Seems we have well and truly moved on from Christmas and gotten our heads mostly screwed on again. I'd love to get 2 off this week so going to try extra hard and try and get the speed veg in as I was lacking a little on those last week.

Great result lantanna :j :j

Hi all, hope everyone is ok.

Today I can't have breakfast as I have an appt for a scan, the doctors think I've got gallstones. I will be leaving for the appt soon.

Does anyone know the recipe for slimming world pizza? Can't remember if I saw it on here, but the person used a pitta bread for the base I think.

Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Have a good day all. x
