Still Time to Lose in 2024 with Slimming World.

maman

Well done on your losses @joedenise, winterbear95 and @Matron_Midge. It's been a good day for losses! 👏👏👏

Welcome @Bluegreen143. 😊 I'm not sure if you've tried SW before but do ask if there's anything you want to know.

I weighed in at the surgery today and I'm exactly the same weight there as I was 3 weeks ago (well within target range). I'm thinking I might go to official WI on Thursday before all the pre-Christmas meals start to kick in. 🤔

I've used a few more syns than usual today as I had veg that needed using up and limited by how to use them. 

B HEB toast, scrambled eggs (P), tomatoes (S), HEA milk for drinks
L- JP (F), cottage cheese (P), salad (S) 
D- sausage, mash, peas (F), cauliflower, broccoli, onions (S)
Syns - BGTY sausages 2, granule gravy 4, weekend wine 😁

Well done to the losers 👏👏

I am going to spoil the losses with 0.5 gain, god knows why! Hey ho 🙄

Popped down DH's old work today, he wanted to see if his wage slip was there , but it wasn't, the driver that comes down for stock for the campus, said please come back 😂 He said no mate your alright 🤣🤣 But when we got him his pension wage slip has come , first pension payment 😂 but not any wages or redundancy 🙄

We are sitting here cracking up watching Peter Kay, he was on about SW, DH goes i can just imagine you all sitting in a circle, i said no semi circle, he thinks its really funny 😂

Food today

Soft pitta, hexb, ham and beetroot, 1 syn LTL mayo, tomato, watermelon and pear.

No fake KFC 😢 forgot to get some mash1 oh just remembered i used coucous before, bit bloody late now 😂😂 so i had chicken seasoned with JDseasoning chicken rub, salad and half a dozen chips.

Morning all (exhausted.com 🥺)

This week food has been very hit & miss (mostly miss) hence 1lb gain. In a way I’m glad as how things are going I didn’t think I could gain 🥴. Still got tummy issues! Now waiting for scan results (the waiting is worse 🥺)
My appetite has returned but eating is still the problem 🥴. At work I have a banana & plum tomatoes for lunch but I’m not digesting tomato skins (if you know what I mean 😵‍💫) which is a bit 😵 when going to loo (sorry tmi) 🥴 just don’t know what to eat 🥺
Keep Up the good work all 🤗

What a morning! We have snow, lots of it. I decided to attempt to get to class but three cars got stuck outside my house in the space of 20minutes so abandoned that idea. Apparently the main roads haven’t been gritted and lots of people stuck so probably the right decision.

Welcome along @Bluegreen143 to our lovely and motivating thread. I don’t post pics but love looking at all the lovely food 😋😋

DS1 facetimed earlier. He’s in Auckland and it had been 26 degrees, just coming into their summer.  Not jealous much!

Just had a huge fry up - bacon medallions, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans with soft pitta HEXB - which will keep me full to dinner which is going to be h/made lasagne with a wee side salad. 3.5 syns and HEXA for cheese sauce and the other HEXA for cheese on top. I can’t drink black coffee so on fruit teas for the rest of the day.

Stay safe and warm all.

Morning all, having a quiet day at home today as looking after my friend's 2 dogs while she goes to see a dance show her granddaughter is in.  I've just got back from picking the dogs up and DH is taking my friend to the station - buses are dire here and then take an hour to go about 8 miles!  Will probably have the dogs until about 6 I would think.  Thankfully they're pretty quiet most of the time and quite lazy too - the pair of them are just laying on the floor!

Sorry you're still having tummy problems @TakeItEazy.  Hopefully you'll get the results of the scan soon and the Dr will be able to treat it.  

Good decision not to go to group @Jellybaby.  Lovely to have your DS1 FaceTime you.  I'm not surprised you're jealous of the New Zealand temperatures - I am too!

Today's plan:

B - egg sandwich - HEB; P; 2 (was going to be a fry up but I forgot to get the sausages out of the freezer!)
L - ham, chips, beans - P; F
D - butter chicken, rice - P; S; F (we didn't fancy dinner last night and just had some cheese and crackers!)

HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - LF spread 2

Have a good day everyone.

Sorry missed your post @TakeItEazy. The gain is good as is your appetite returning. Hope you get the scan results and medication if needed soon. Take care 🥰

Best idea to stay home @Jellybaby. It’s dire weather here too.

Day 2 round up. 

Breakfast - apple porridge 
HEA, HEB, 1 syn

Lunch - tuna tomato spaghetti with green beans and sweetcorn 
Free

Dinner - veggie risotto with 30g cheddar, chestnut mushrooms, green beans, peas, onion. 

HEA, 0.5 syn

HEA - 200ml whole milk & 30g cheddar
HEB - 40g porridge
Syns - 1tbsp brown sugar, 5 sprays olive oil for cooking, 2 glasses prosecco  

That’s only 1.5 Syns today in my food 😇. But I’ve saved them up for two glasses of Prosecco tonight. I’ve had one while cooking and catching up with my husband, and I’m having the second once the kids are in bed! So 11.5 Syns in total.

Morning all, it's even windier this morning than yesterday!  We've had free electric since 7am but only about 10 minutes left so I've done 2 machine loads of washing including the bedding from the spare bed which I hadn't got round to since DH was sleeping in there when his knee pain was disturbing his sleep!  I've tumble dried the bedding and hung the other load out on the line.

Food looking good @Bluegreen143.  You've put 1 syn for Tbs brown sugar - did you mean tsp?  If you meant Tbs then that would be 3 syns not 1.  You'd still be within syns so wouldn't really make a difference in that respect.

Today's plan:

B - fry up - P; S; F; 2
L - burger, onions, gherkins in soft pitta - HEB; S; 0.5
D - lamb tagine, couscous - P; S; F; 6

HEA - milk
HEB - soft pitta
Syns - sausages 2; burger 0.5; apricots & almonds 5; honey 1

Have a good day everyone.

Sorry Joedenise it was 1tsp, I think my phone has autocorrected it weirdly! So just 1 syn. 1tbsp would definitely make my porridge far too sweet! I had 2tsp the first day and it was too much so I’ve dropped to 1.
