Slimming For Summer - Slimming World support thread 2019

SIRENS the honey chilli chicken was delish! I used breast rather than thighs. My only other comment would be to maybe have it with a jacket or sw chips as it was a bit dry with rice as there is no sauce iyswim.

If you go over your allowance for HEA, i.e. 300ml of milk, how do you calculate the syns for the rest of the milk? I have 75ml in my tea/coffee, so that lets me have 4 cups, but if I have more....

Hello, may I join you please? I've been following slimming world for some time now and struggling a little, so I thought this might help me in getting back on track. Had my first day on plan today in quite some time. Granted I used up all my Sun's (on three chocolate hobnobs and an options packet in a free yoghurt) but still on plan! Hoping there won't be hobnobs around tomorrow.

Welcome to our lovely thread

Thanks Bubbs but it's not very helpful when it's showing different things in different places, is it?

Hopefully. The recipe I am planning on doing tomorrow is broccoli and blue cheese (laughing cow triangles).

One recipe says to add leek, celery and potato and another none of those things, but says to add carrot! So I'm not sure which one I should make.

Pollyanna to help you with the syns we need to know which Heck sausages you're having as they vary a lot. Same with the jarred bolognaise sauce - was it Dolmio? If so, what size jar can then work out how many syns for your portion. The smallest size Original one (320g) is 7 syns so if divided by 4 would be 2 for your portion.

With milk again it depends on which milk you use. For example semi skimmed would be 2.5 syns per 100ml.

Hello debtfreeforlife. You are very welcome to join us. Well done on having an on plan day today. Just take it one day at a time.

I usually add onion and potato when I make soups. The onion helps with flavour and the potato helps thicken the soup.

Hello everyone. I am all stocked up and hopefully will be good this week. I am officially the heaviest I have ever been save for straight after having my first DD. I am actually 2stone heavier than I was after my DD2, eek! So 2stone to loose. Yikes.

Today didn't go to plan, but in a good way. We avoided McDs, simply because we couldn't find it in Waterloo Station and so grabbed some pretzels and cookies from M&S, but I just didn't have any. It's easier to resist when you grab and go, but not if we were sitting down in a McDs!

B - Coffee (I now have bought watermelon and bananas which I will have in future or porridge, but I generally don't like eating breakfast).

L - nothing. Awful I know, but it was a one off.

D - Tuna in brine (P), Pasta (F), Mayo (2syns for 1tbs of light), Sweetcorn (F), Salad (S).

S - Tea

HEA - Milk
HEB - Alpen Bar

Please feel free to correct any of my mistakes as they really do help. I am planning on another tea and a Alpen Bar (I know I can have two, but that just feels wrong when on a diet!).

I have made crustless quiche which will be my lunch tomorrow. I put in 50% reduced cheddar, so even better than 30% reduced, right?!

And I added mushrooms and peppers which hopefully will be nice in it. Just have to get it out of the dish now and quarter it to stop me just eating the whole thing tomorrow.

And Mum has said she will help me with the soup as I'm not completely up to speed on how the soup maker thingie works.

My main issues are dinner and I have up till Thursday sorted:-

Tuesday - Heck sausages (I'm having 4 cos I'm greedy - syns please!), Jacket Pot, Beans.

Wednesday - LO spag bol (it was from a jar, but don't think the syns were awful, can't remember for sure).

Thursday - Gammon, potatoes, veg (first day back at work, so Mum cooking again, she has promised to lay off the butter).

So if I am right, I have had 2 syns today, so that leaves 103 for the week. Going to save them till Friday when the girls go to their dad's. How many in a bottle of wine or prosecco again? :rotfl:

Don't look much speed there but good apart from that, what sauce was it?
