Hello all - well done to all you losers -some excellent results here!!

((Hugs to Top Girl))


Food today is as follows...

B: 2 soft boiled eggs and a couple of satsumas
L: HM SW lasagne only using BNS slices (found these in sainsburys) instead of pasta sheets so completely speed - didn't bother with salad with it as it's coming down with speed veggies
roast chicken dinner, cauliflower, green beans, carrots and baby boils

HEa will be milk in tea...no HEb sorted...I always struggle with this one!!

Syns will be weekend wine (banked for the weekend)

Thinking of you topgirl:A. I wondered where you'd got to last week.


:T to orlao, starry eyed and ilovetea. It's great to see losses coming in.


So being Monday means back on plan with a vengeance. I have two meals out planned this week. Tomorrow's is likely to be Toby Carvery and looking at the website I was (pleasantly) surprised how low syn some of their things are.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, 2 boiled eggs, HEB toast, HEA milk for drinks
L: cold meat and fried veg, pickled cabbage
chicken stir fry with noodles
Syns: tbsp. honey in stir fry sauce

Snack: pickled onion space raiders (3):o a denone light and free yoghurt
L: chicken veggie noodle stirfry, 1syn for tsp honey to make sauce
LO bbq pulled pork in a wm protien wrap thingy (7.5-8.5 syns I think) with hm coleslaw and salad

Milk for cuppas is my He A

I can already feel the foggy head and dull ache from the sweeteners yoghurts almost all gone and i'm sure Master H will polish of the alpen bars.

I mananged 30minutes on the cross trainer this morning and have my first boxercise class tonight looking forward to it!

I have signed up to a muf rudder 5k weekend in the summer with my friend :eek: must be bonkers but it looks great fun!!

Hi Everyone

I'd love to join your group. I used to go to group after having my second baby and lost a stone and have since lost a further stone since then. I Have restarted the plan online as I would like to get back to my pre baby weight of 9st 10lbs (currently at 12st 3lb) which feels like a long way to go really but I'm super motivated. I've been on plan for a week (of course I have)!
I would like to join a forum group to compensate for being unable to get to group at the moment.

Today I have eaten:
Breakie: boiled egg, apple, orange, muller light yoghurt (bit of a random breakfast but I'm at work today ad was in a massive rush)
Lunch: Salad with spinach leave tomato cucumber peppers sweet potato and feta cheese.
I think I'm having some kind of greek lamb kebab (no pitta) with cous cous and salad for dinner.

My big down fall is cooking the kids tea and picking at this. Who can resist oven chips and beans? So I've been trying to save my healthy extras for this time - and I'll have a little bit of cheese or beans on toast (eaten my cheese allowance for the day today though)

It seems quite luxurious (greedy) having this as well as a meal later though but fruit or a yoghurt just doesn't satiate my hunger at that time though - so any other ideas would be welcome. I drink lots of water throughout the day and not drinking at the moment.

Anyway Hello

Welcome, I'm a newbie too.


For easy to grab food that is more tempting than fruit, and temping and filling enough to keep me away from bad stuff I find hardboiled eggs good. Also cold meat, but proper home cooked stuff, not sliced sandwich meat.
I also believe some mugshots are free, but I don't know which ones.

Hugs to you Top Girl - just remember that whatever you're feeling is OK to feel xx

Welcome to the thread. As you pick at the kids food why not just give them SW friendly food. There really isn't any need to cook something different for them. They can eat the same as you and DH. The only thing different would be that they need full fat milk and yoghurts if under 5; but other than that not necessary.

If you do that then it won't matter that you're having another dinner later as long as you are eating it because you're hungry and not just because you can!

Hi all,

I'm completely new to slimming world, heard good things about it and thought i'd give it a go, mainly as support for both my dad and partner who are also doing it!

I just want to know if i'm doing things right! So yesterday i had:

Breakfast - Overnight oats, mixed with fat free natural yoghurt and mango on top
Lunch - Salmon Salad, so lettace, peppers, carrot, onions, cress. No dressing on it.
Snack - Apple
Tea - Jacket potato with beans.
Then i was tired after my 12 and 1/2 hour shift so had two biscuits from leftover Christmas stuff!! and a glass of milk.

Today i've had..
Breakfast - Baked oats, topped with pear.
Lunch - Tuna pasta salad, followed a SW recipe and a Mullerlight yoghurt
Tea, will be having - Mediterranean veg and lemon and coriander salmon.
Have'nt had any snacks today yet.

Oh and besides milk on a night i only drink water, don't like hot drinks. I do like fruit squash but am i allowed that??

Edit - Just realised my 2 chocolate biscuits weren't that bad!

Welcome to the thread.

Are you doing SW at home on your own? If so it might be worth popping along to a group to get the introductory talk and the books (there's a voucher every day this week in the Mirror to avoid paying the joining fee so would just cost £4.95).

A couple of comments:

You seemed to be a bit short of Speed yesterday - Mango is only a Free food not a Speed food. Tea - you had no Speed at all.

To be following the plan properly you need to have at least 1/3 Speed foods at every meal - although that's quite difficult so most try to do it over the day!

It's also important to have your syns (5-15 a day) so you were OK with your couple of choccy biscuits!

You also need to have a HEB and HEA a day. Yesterday the oats were HEB (allowed 40g) if you had more then you would also need to syn them.

How much milk did you drink as that would be your HEA and you are allowed a different amount depending on what sort it is; for example semi skimmed it's 250ml; skimmed it's 300ml.

Squash is fine to drink as long as it is sugar free, otherwise it'll need synning.

Today's plan looks good. Just remember to have some syns.

It might also be worth reading the first post of the thread as there is a better explanation there!

Thanks for your reply!
Yes i'm doing it on my own at home, i work shifts so would find it pretty difficult to go to a group! My parents buy the daily mirror so will defiantly look into that as would be handy for my dad also.

I'll have a read through the first post on here to start but yes I had the 250ml's semi skimmed and i measured the oats at 40g aswell
Is there a list anywhere of what are speed foods??
I didn't realise i could have that many syns a day so that's a welcome surprise, how do i go about working out what amount of syns things are exactly?
