Get in the swing for Spring - Slimming World support thread 2017

Saver-upper

Today's menu was very low in speed food,will get back into proper eating tomorrow.I was given 2easter eggs,which I have hidden from myself in the back of a very high cupboard .

Breakfast: 1 slice of wholemeal toast (HEB),scrape Flora light (1/2 syn),Marmite

Lunch at inlaws' house.(My MIL usually does a roast when we go over there,so,especially after my weigh-in this morning,I was preparing mentally to just accept a synful meal today,and be fully ontrack going forward.)Pleasantly surprised to be offered casserole: lamb,carrot,onion,potato.Very little fat (just from searing the meat initially,I think).Served with peas and sweetcorn.
So at least the meal was free-ish

Tea was leftover chicken curry,(tinned tomato and onion as speed) and rice.

Snack tonight :muller greek yoghurt,(1/2 syn)

HEA was skimmed milk in cups of tea.There would also have been a few syns in unmeasured semi-skimmed milk in cups of tea while at inlaws'.

Morning all

I forgot it was Monday this morning and forgot to weigh myself, so can you put me down as a STS this week please Shala.

Well done to everyone that managed to stay on plan on Easter Sunday, and if you didn't, don't worry about it, it's only one day after all - draw a line and get back on plan.

Welcome back Greentiger :wave: and Top Girl :wave:.

Your Easter bath bomb sounds lovely Kathryn I miss soaking in the bath...

Well done for your first week Saverupper,:T that's great specially as you're doing it from home. And well done PerthLady - that's fantastic! :j

Sorry to hear of your back troubles TIE - the inflammation could be the cause of the gain as there will be extra fluids around the problem area. Your DH didn't do very well with his Easter surprise did he?! :rotfl: It sounds like Galaxy are cashing in on Easter by packaging golden eggs into what looked like a big egg.... :cool:

What's everyone got planned for Bank Holiday Monday? We're open this morning but expecting a mass exodus so we might go out somewhere this afternoon. Have a good day.

Well done to all the losers and hugs for those who need them. Easter is virtually over now so we can all get back on plan properly!!!

Today will be a Green day as I have a cauliflower which needs using up:

B - porridge (HEB); mixed frozen fruit - mainly melon but also strawberries, raspberries, grapes & pomegranate seeds
L - spinach, sweet potato & lentil dahl - another new recipe for me - looks like it might be quite spicy as there are lots of different spices in it plus chilli!
D - cauliflower cheese (HEA2/HEB2 + 4 for cheese sauce using a mix); chips

HEA1 - milk in tea throughout the day

Syns - 4 for the cheese sauce mix

Enjoy the rest of the bank holiday those of you who have to go back to work tomorrow after the long weekend off. Glad I don't work any more:D

Congratulations on losses, shiprob, Whiplashy, WJN, kathrynha (fab), candyapple, Maisie, lush, bubbs, piglet, jay, pixtotts, beanie (WOW – that was a heavy tooth!), Midge, esmy, Ruthy, chocolateteddy,wiz, Saver-upper (fab), TIE, PerthLady (jings, crivvens, help ma boab) and Lois.

Oh beanie, sorry abut your tooth. My DH had to have one out while I was away too.

What tv series kept you so engrossed, shala?

Well done for getting SOTW, piglet.

Hi again, Saver-upper and TG.

Hello, debtfreeatlonglast.

Thanks, bubbs and Lois, it was amazing!

Hooray! I’ve caught up at last! :j

And I am very pleased to announce a loss of 0.8lbs, but, after more than 2 weeks of holiday, I am thrilled. Still off plan today mostly as I’ll be celebrating my grandson’s birthday today. Back on it tomorrow.

Why am I losing weight? 1 – I’m overweight obese 2 – I get out of breath walking up hills, climbing stairs 3 – my knees and back get sore 4 – I look terrible in photos and I avoid being them, then when I look back at special events, I’m missing.

Enjoy the holiday, if you have it.

kathrynha

Well yesterday wasn't too bad a day. Not as much speed as I should of had, but not too bad on the syns.

Just been shopping and now all ready for a good week.

Today's plan:
Breakfast - fruit
Lunch - miso noodles
Dinner - speedy chilli

Happy Easter :j No Easter eggs for me this year, but I did eat a salted caramel bomb that serves 2 :eek: Oops! Not going to lie, I don't regret doing it :rotfl: Also don't regret the Yorkshire puddings I had with lunch or the garlic bread I had for supper :rotfl: It's one day and still nowhere near as bad as scoffing a massive chocolate egg!

I'm really behind on the thread because I've been really unwell this week.. Congrats to anyone who lost this week.

STS for me this week. Shocked because I really did deserve a gain. It'll probably show up next week. Have a friend coming to stay for a few days during the week, so there will be a few meals off plan. Not going to worry about it though because with my health issues I don't get out of the house very often. Fingers crossed I'll be able to enjoy the few days. She's very active so I find it hard to keep up with her. Have managed to convince her that we should go to the spa for a few hours one of the days, so at least that will give me a chance to relax.

That did make me:rotfl::rotfl:

Tete ~~. I don't think that you sound jealous at all. Do you think your friend may have some issues though.
Sounds like she was jealous when she was slightly bigger than you and he's playing tit-for-tat. I could be wrong.
The joys of our friends :rotfl:

You're possibly right - I'll continue to grit my teeth and hope that she either gets over it and stops making remarks, or I actually lose the weight I want to and that shuts her up!

I got to target previously in time for my Silver Wedding Anniversary, we had a party where the dress code was 70s and I wore a shortish skirt and boots. My Mum said that now I'd lost weight I was wearing the clothes I wanted to wear when I was younger - nothing like calling you mutton dressed as lamb is there? lol

Sorry Lois, that did make me hoot!

Esmy - yes I'm tall too and hate how I look in group photos, it definitely adds an extra layer to how you feel after putting on a few pounds.

Good to see you back GT - you did well to catch up!

There are some big losses coming in over Easter weekend - very well done all!

I have pigged out a bit (days out Friday and Saturday and a carvery yesterday, plus choccy eggs) and actually feel pretty rough today from all the carp I've eaten. I'm still sitting in bed so will report back later with my meals for today - know I have stuff to use up in the fridge.
