Slimming Through The Winter - Slimming World Support Thread 2018

Hey,

Reporting a Plus 1 this week. Rotten cold that just won’t disappear, working away for the last two weeks, freezing weather. Fell off the SW wagon a bit. Back on it now. Will read back later, haven’t checked in for ages. Hope everyone is well x

Just a pound isn't bad for working away msm. It's so much harder to stick to SW when you can't control what's available.


Hope you enjoyed your 'anniversary' meal ssm, including the drinks under false pretences!:rotfl:


I've still got 20+ syns left in the bank for today and tomorrow and few plans to use them. I'm feeling quite slim but hope I won't regret saying that come WI.


Just lately I've been using parmesan to top dishes with mash etc. It's surprising how just 2 syns worth (10 grams) can make a nice crust on a cottage pie or similar dish. I think it's psychological as I enjoy it just as much as adding far more syns as cheddar. Shared with DH that's just one syn.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, (half) HEB toast, fried egg, mushrooms, ham, HEA milk for drinks
L: stir fried veg (courgette, spring onions, carrot, mushrooms, peppers, sugar snaps, cabbage) with noodles
Austrian ham hash with cabbage, cherry Alpen
Syns: parmesan 1,noodles 1

Morning everyone.

Todays menu:
B Bran flakes berries and yoghurt
L BNS soup, omelette with mushrooms, tomatoes, baked beans
D Beef casserole in SC
1 pancake with lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar - the rest of the day should be syn free so I think thats OK. Others will be having very synful toppings!

Kathryn thanks for the chart. Just remember that it is perfectly acceptable to reduce the reduction a little to manage the withdrawal symptoms. What is important is that you get to the point when you are free of the pain killers x

GAF, well done :T:T:T:T



I rather like the sausages!

But I have not had the others. I bought the Lamb Ragan Josh from Aldi... but the flipping kids ate them!

I did a camp fire stew yesterday..... I now know that the name comes from the fact the spices give it a burnt taste.... sadly I have enough for several meals!

:D:D:D

I thought it was called campfire due to the beans effect from Blazing Saddles :rotfl:

Came in to polish my halo, made the boy (loads) of pancakes and didn!!!8217;t touch any of them (except with the spatula )

Got the Farm Foods flyer through today, looks like price reductions all round. Bacon was 3 for £6 but now £5, bags of fruit 3 for £5, veg 5 for £4 and fish 3 for £10 all mix and match :T

Like you Maman I had 20+ syns available for today and tomorrow so have taken advantage and used 10 on 1/2 a part baked baguette (75g)! It was so good - haven't had any since we were in France last year. Will also use some syns on a couple of pancakes this evening. May also pinch your idea of 10g of parmasan on the top of the shepherds pie tonight!

I wish we had a Farm Foods near us TIE. They seem to have good deals all the time. I've heard we're getting a "frozen food place" in the next town but no idea which one - maybe a FF - I do hope so!

Today's plan:

B - baked oats with pistachio flavouring; pomegranite seeds (only fruit I had in the freezer and no fresh fruit left)
L - the last of the Thai style butternut squash soup (thank goodness - it was too spicy for me) - heat taken out with some fromage frais; 1/2 demi-baguette 10 syns
D - shepherds pie with added veg, topped with colcannon & sprinkle of parmasan (5g) 1 syn per portion
Pancakes (25g flour 4.5 syns) - will make batter with water; will probably get 2 pancakes from the batter. Will have with lemon juice & sweetner

Meant to report back: Farmfoods smoked haddock is fine, much better than the salmon. The salmon was a bit tough and white scum appeared on it just like with cheap bacon.

I used to buy a fair bit in Farmfoods but I don't think they have the same value any more. Particularly for SW friendly stuff that is. Plenty of crisps and biscuits and that sort of thing.

I would recommend their frozen leeks and most of the other veg is very good too. Unfortunately the pack sizes have shrunk a lot from 1kg and the prices go up!

not wishing to go against any slimming world here but as someone whos done slimming world 3 times now and lost about 2 stone each time ( yes Ive put it back on several years apart ) I tried a different approach this time. I hit 19 stone 2.5 pounds on new years day.I decided to remove crisps, nuts, sweets, cake, chocolate from my diet but each everything else as normal. OK I have swapped in 2 or 3 ready meal slimzone meals or quorn meals and tried to do the odd lot of slimming world chips ( still eat shop ones maybe once a week ) and try for 2 or 3 bowls of Weetabix with sweetner rather than toast during the week when I remember. I only ever have diet fizzy drinks so never had full sugar ones. Odd dinner times out and a very odd macdonalds.


BUT


Even with just those changes


Guess what...Ive still roughly lost the same amount of weight as if I were doing slimmingworld 100% so not sure it the best way there is or just changes your way of eating?


as at last Monday 18 stone 1.75 pounds


( good luck if slimmingworld is working for you....Im really not knocking it )
