Hi everyone! I've returned here after a few years away (I think it was 2014?) and the pounds have crept back on, and SW seems to always work for me as I have a big appetite.

I'd like to join in the challenge please, and put me down for 8lb which I think is sensible and hopefully achievable.

I was going to join online yesterday, but looking at my budget for the month, it may have to wait a few more weeks as I'd like to do the 3mth membership with magazine and books, and that's £50 atm. I have 2 lots of old books from 2010 and 2013, but understand the plan has changed somewhat recently, however they will have to do for now, and I'll keep a close eye on what everyone else is doing too.

I'll admit I've been a complete piggie in recent weeks, and yesterday I just ate everything, to the point that I couldn't wait to stop eating today. I find I have to do that to kick-start myself into disliking 'bad' food. Ridiculous really. Anyway, today is the start of returning to a better way of eating, and both me and my OH are ready for it (despite him not really being overweight).

Enough waffle from me, here's what I've had today:

Brunch: porridge HEB, milk from HEA, 1 tsp sugar 1 syn with tinned apple (uncooked) 1.5 syns
Dinner: hm turkey & veg soup (allowing 2 syns for gravy for thickening)
Snack: small piece of hm banana flapjack - 2 mouthfulls = 5.5 syns & satsuma
Extra syns: 2 x dolce gusto cafe au lait = 4 syns
Total syns: 14

It's a bit low on speed food, although the soup was jam packed with veg.

Tomorrow I am back to work, so going to have to plan what I am going to eat during the day. I'm going to look online for some inspiration. Work can be quite stressful, and I think it has definitely contributed to me gaining so much weight this year - I was a stone lighter a year ago. Ironically my boss is the complete opposite and stress stops her eating - we are like fatty & skinny! :laugh:

Hiya, i’m trying to sign up online (after 2 years away ) and just wondered how you got the membership down to £50 with the books? Is there a special code? Thanks

Hello and welcome:D
I dont eat bread, ww wrap, ryvita rye cakes are nice and you can have 6 form the green packet or 5 from the blue packet for hexb, soup, crustless quiche, pasta?

Hello and welcome
Glad your scan was ok:T:T


Sorry you are still not good
It is Weds tomorrow, sorry to disappoint
The soup is because apparently they are taking the free foods into consideration but in my opinion home made better:D

Meant Thursday

My daughter is going to start doing slimming world for 2019.
I told her I’d read somewhere there were a lot of changes recently.
I don’t suspose there is a post that sort of captures them?

Good morning, It’s beautiful weather here, icy but blue sky all around. Dog walk promised to my Lab after we go shopping.

Today’s food:
B. Ryvita ham smear of pickle
L. LO jacket, mixed veg
T. Ham, fried egg, mixed veg.

Not sure of new Syns values until I go to group on Thursday so just being sensible. Likewise HEA/Bs.
Milk in teas and coffees.

Going to read through all the posts since I posted yesterday, might need one of those coffees to help me.

Morning everyone. Back at work today and have no motivation whatsoever to be here. Did manage to get to the gym before I came in; focused on the arms today.

B - Porridge (HEB and 1/2 HEA), strawberries and blueberries
L - Last of the LO Turkey Curry (turkey, chopped tomatoes, peppers, onion, spices), rice
D - Jacket potato with tuna and cheese (HEA), salad (leaves, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, pickled onion)

Can't get used to the 2 HEA's, doesn't seem quite right to me but i'll take advantage of it where I can! Hope you're all having a good day.

Today's plan
He a milk
He b bagel thin (new one, soft seeded from New York bakery)
B banana
L Tom soup (4) bagel thin
D turkey meatballs with couscous (again from new mag) strawberries and total 0% with some skinny syrup stirred in.
Syns/snacks orange, maybe a mince pie for supper (they are calling me and if I don't plan then I might eat 2)
I also agree with HM soup being the best but Heinz cream of Tom is my fave and again I thought if I account for it and plan then it will do no harm.

Hello, I don't think there's a post as the changes are very new and we are all still getting to grips with them ourselves. The 'biggies' I suppose are that we can now eat two Healthy Extra As rather than just one, and that the syn values have changed on a few things, most notably Muller Lights are now 1 syn rather than Free. Your daughter's best bet will be to attend a session or sign up online, where she will be given the full list of Free foods, Healthy Extras, and Syns.
