Slimming World Support Thread

ELLA

Hi all Im a newbie to slimming world, I joined a last week and only lost a 1lb :-( Im still trying to get my head round it and think about food on another level now.

My fil made me feel so bad yesterday by saying that I should have lost at least 5lb the first week, so therefore I should do the atkins diet (bloody interfering Idiot) Im going to prove him wrong.

Im struggling in the evening's at the moment for little snacks, Im a bit fed up with fruit tbh and was wondering if anyone can give me some idea's hints and tips or even pm me would be great.
Many thanks

Determined today! I have been keeping a diary since I started SW so I have read through all my motivations for joining in the first place, to hopefully help me get back on track.

Green day today, I think.

jackieb - it doesn't taste exactly like meat mince on its own, but when its in, say a bolognese/lasagne/chilli, then you'd never know.

On its own (sausages/fillets) it can taste like polystyrene and is very dry (the sausages are great in a casserole as they soak up some of the liquid or the fillets chopped into free coronation 'chicken' sauce).

My carnivore OH prefers my Quorn lasagne to the beef type and always has to ask if the sausage casserole is quorn or pork!

The fillets such as cheese n broccoli are small amount of syns but you'd never know you weren't eating the chicken equivalent!

Give it a go and see! :j

Please don't be down! It'll happen if you stick to it and ignore your FIL. Mines interfering too - always questioning what I cook and why I got so heavy in the first place! I'm doing this for me (and my OH!) and I know how good it'll feel to be slim and gorgeous! It's happening really slowly for me at the mo, but its pretty much always going in the right direction!

Thanks mel - its on my to do list too!

Mightly p'd off - just got back from early SW weigh-in and my own scales are correct - I've put on 1lb. Ok its not much but I'm stuck jsut under the 2stone award and can't get any further! (Its not as though its my target - I've got 5 more to lose after that!) GGGGRRRRRRRRRR!

Shall I sulk? Nah, sod it - got to work out a lovely Green day meal from leftovers :rolleyes: :rotfl:

What can I do with bamboo shoots, a baguette, baked beans and other staples? Still have both my HEB's and A's left!
