Be a Stunner for Summer with Slimming World

wiggly

Sorry forgot to update yesterday. Sadly I think I went over my syns but not by too much.

B: Apple, Sushi Tasters from Tesco (2.5 syns), Velvet crunch (4.5syns) - lazy desk breakfast
L: L/O roast chicken and spuds with salad & dressing (3 syns for the dressing), baby tomatoes
T: Quorn Sausages (2 syns) with lazy git mash (3.5 syns) and veg, 1/2tsp mint sauce, grapes
S: Cheese spread on toast (HeA & HeB), peppers and beetroot

Total 15.5syns (I'm not counting the mint sauce as I didn't even use it all!)

So not great but starting to get there.

Today will be:

B: Velvet Crunch (4.5syns), Banana, Apple, 2 x Alpen Light (HeB)
L: In pub, either jacket spud and beans or gammon with spud and egg (and syned accordingly)
T: Sausages (3) & Mash (1.5 this time, as root veg mash) again (with the kids this time), cheese in the mash (HeA)
S: Fruit

Back again with plan for today:

B - beans & tomatoes on HEB toast
L - ham salad
D - saltmarsh Barnsley lamb chop; mashed celeriac; roast potatoes, roasted veg & splash of gravy (1)

HEA will be milk as usual.

No idea about other syns yet

Brilliant loss beg.:T I think losing alternate weeks is more common than we think. Having weekly meetings gets you into a mindset that there should be weekly losses but it doesn't work for everyone like that. It might give you a head start for your holiday arkers.


Sorry to hear about the job abbafan. Good luck for Saturday. I'm sure if/when you have to look for another job you'll feel more confident after your weightloss. 5 stone is amazing.:T


Best of luck with your interview when it comes lantanna and you're absolutely right to focus on yourself. That's something you have control of.

However I do know that I am dehydrated and have been everyday since Friday so need to work on that today

Reading that made me go and fill my water bottle before I posted so you're being a good influence! I'm always dehydrated first thing in the morning that's why I have my grapefruit squash with breakfast. What yummies are on the list for Asda? (inserts nosy smiley;))


I can honestly say I've never bought a Hi-Fi bar of any flavour. I've had the very occasional Alpen ight when I see a flavour I fancy in the £ shop but that's it, my HEB almost always goes on toast or cereal at breakfast.


Talking of toast, I reminded DH this morning that I don't need spread on mine as he seems to add it randomly. When I was getting to target I used to have WW bread and toasting it was a way of getting some body into it even for sandwiches. IMO if you're having mayo or beans or Marmite then I don't need spread. If it was real butter it might be different.:(:drool:


I'm out for a carvery with friends tonight so a bit off plan with food and wine syns will be involved.


Today's EE menu:
B: NAS grapefruit, 2 boiled eggs, HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks
L: ham, fried potatoes with veg (cauli, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes), pickled cabbage
carvery (no yorkies but I'll do my best) with gravy and roasties)
Syns wine and whatever I can't resist from carvery:o

Sticking to plan so far today, thankfully I remembered to put the overnight oats together last night. We were supposed to have them yesterday but I forgot - I'm not keen on frozen berries, they're a bit too crunchy for me. :rotfl:

Maman - I haven't bought any Hifi bars either, HEBs are far too valuable to waste them IMO, and I know if they were in the cupboard I'd eat them and have to count the syns.

Meant to say thanks for the heads up on Frylight Jocko - I bought 6 for £1.49 each in Aldi last week. We don't have an Aldi locally but there's one near a property we rent out so as we were doing some work there last week I made a point to go and look for Frylight. Well done for achieving your target so quickly too. :T

Good luck with the job interview Lantanna, and commiserations to Abbafan, hopefully something better will come along soon. I'm so glad I'm not part of the rat race anymore - the memory of company changeovers, TUPE etc all put a chill in my heart after working in HR for many years.

Denise - no pies or chips will pass my lips! I'm currently warming chicken and mushroom pies and they smell so nice DH suggested we have one for lunch instead of bacon and egg, but I just gave him the look that said 'don't even think about it...'! :rotfl:

Back later,

LL

I think all husbands know that look - we've all got it:rotfl:

Oh. So I didn't factor in prosecco for lunch. Oops

lantanna

Lol, Universal woman code Denise !!




See Lisa Riley back in the mail today stating she lost her weight on a 500 cal a day diet. That's great is that's what was recommended for her under medical supervision etc. But so many impressionable and fed up people will now try that and its in no way sustainable.


She lost a stone in her first week too and large losses like that can have nasty side effects.


Wish the media would be a bit more responsible at times!

Thanks for the lovely welcome everyone. Nice to be part of such a friendly thread

My days as a SW consultant were about 7 years ago maman and I know things have changed a lot since then, so I'll need all the help I can get!

DH texted from work to say he and a colleague have a challenge for who can lose the most weight by the end of the year, so hopefully he will be on board with the food swaps.

We have an added complication in that DH has ulcerative colitis, so we aren't able to have wholemeal bread/pasta/rice or too much food high in fibre, seeds or with skin left on. We do, however, have chickens who lay enough eggs to start our own omelette factory, so I'll be making good use of these.

Going well so far. Only two chocolate digestive biscuits with my elevensies. So easily could have carried on scoffing!

Dizzy - welcome to the thread. There are lots of HEBs that you can have for fibre which are aren't carby - such as nuts, dried & cooked fruit.

You can also have things like "cauliflower rice instead of normal rice; spiralised veg instead of pasta; mashed swede & carrot instead of potatoes.

Also remember that you really need to have enough food, including syns, for the plan to work - but you probably remember all that from your days as a consultant.

As your DH wants to lose weight you've got a head start on a lot of us! I've been doing SW for just over 6 years now but DH has really only been on board this year. All his meals we ate together were SW friendly but it was the stuff he ate away from home which was the problem.

Good luck.

I'd echo what denise said dizzy My DH mainly has SW meals with me but I buy him snacks like biscuits I don't like so they don't tempt me. You'll be fine with white rice, pasta and peeled potatoes. You could always resort to scanbran if you're desperate!:rotfl:
