Lose weight in '26 with Slimming World & SWIP's.

It's freezing cold here too, hope everyone is staying warm indoors. 🥶

STS after the festive season is excellent @jwil. Well done! 👏👏👏

Thanks for the info from group. I sometimes split a HEA between cheese and milk so that's OK.

Your gains were small @bubbs and @Jellybaby. I'd be delighted if that's all I'd gained but am expecting far more. 
Forgot to post well done on your loss @joedenise, definitely sounds like most of it was water. 👍

Great bargains for the refuge @bubbs. It's amazing how you sniff them out. 

Strange how you had so few new people today. Many people go back to work on Monday so next week might be busier. Or perhaps people are turning to the injections. 🤔

Plenty of low swip options on the menu @Jellybaby. I rarely have cocktails so when I do I just have whatever I fancy. You've got all week to claw back. 

Today, I've put Bolognese in the SC and prepped meatballs which I'll cook tomorrow when the oven is on. 

Today's plan - 
B- HEB toast, eggs (P), tomatoes, mushrooms (S), HEA milk for drinks 
L- JP (F), prawns (P), salad (S) 
D- sausage casserole with penne (P, F, S) 
SWIPS - LTL mayo 1, BGTY sausages 2, weekend wine 😁

I am the chief bargain hunter sniffer  Maman 🤣🤣

Yes i was wondering if next week will be busy, if not we know it's the jabs!

Took all Christmas decs down, cleaned, even inside windows, everything packed away and back to normal now 😁

I have a question, i should probably know the answer but don't 🤣i have had an unplanned sp day, can i syn wheatbran to make waffles?

Tea
hexb , hexa x 1.5

joedenise

Isn't wheat bran a HEB?  Can you not use it that way now that you can have up to 3 a day?  If you've used your HEB then can't see any reason why you can't syn it.

Jellybaby

Sorry @jwil missed your post. A maintain is fantastic over the festive period 🎉

Well done on the loss @joedenise

Great minds @maman I’m hoping to make more meatballs too as I’ve used up my supply with DS1 being here too.

@bubbs I don’t know the answer either 🤣 first thought was no but then I remembered a few months back when I tried a SP day, I’d used my HEB so syned a slice of bread for toast as I was still hungry. I’ve no idea if that’s allowed on SP though!

Lunch was not too bad syn/swip wise. I had prawn cocktail to start, fillet steak with peppercorn sauce on the side, baby potatoes, veg and some side salad. Rather than pudding I had coffee. Main syns would be in the two Aperol Spritz 😁

Still stuffed so will only have some fruit later if I get peckish.

bubbs

Denise, had hexb and other "extras" today as had 1.5 cheese and milk, i'll just syn some, might change my mind before i come to pudding anyway , will see 🤣🤣

Thanks and Jelly x

bubbs

Pudding 3.5 syns, i did make a waffle 🤣 complete sp day  waffle, made with wheatbran, ice cream made with ff greek yoghurt, pear and 1 syn sauce

OMG - weather here is atrocious , storms all night ( hence 3 hours sleep ) and snow, sleet and hailstones all day - and a windchill of -6 - bloody horrible

Still I rocked up to group at 8am - and it was rammed 

Loads of bums on seats this morning, lots who we haven't seen a while, a few from other groups, and a few new members 

And the gains outnumbered the loses again - me being one of them. The STS last week was a fluke, I knew on Monday I had actually gained 4lb, Still I did enough to it show as a 2lb gain - now 1/2lb over top target so I need to get bum in gear this week 

This week has been hard because Ive been making family meals using up what's there, trying to get the house cleaned, work and everything else - as well as struggling health wise. So I have been lazy , Ive used jars to make quick and easy meals 

So I made the choice, my usual Saturday , and then back on plan tomorrow and try for a couple of speed days - not sure about that yet

TBH I just dont want to pay lol. Im happy with how clothes fit and how I look, but Im going the longest streak without paying so I think Im getting it at last 

joedenise

You'll shift that this week to get back into target. It's hard when there is a lot of stuff you wouldn't normally eat in the house.  You've decided to draw the line after today and back on plan tomorrow so you've got virtually a full week of being on plan so should be a decent loss.

I've been on plan today and have had 8 syns today - a skinny whip (4.5) and 19g Magic Stars (3.5).

Bitterly cold isn’t it? Hope everyone is safe and warm xx

Well done to those who have braved group this weekend. Surprised about some groups being quiet - definitely think next week will be busier. 

I had a bad dream about DH divorcing me and hiding his money - was in a huff with him all day. He just laughed a lot!! 

Those bargains @bubbs!! Fantastic!!

After all the body magic yesterday I’ve barely moved today as was sorting life admin. One more day until weigh day and my fresh start 😊

Oh BTW, Im sorry Im not commenting on posts at the moment. I wasnt here a long while and whilst Ive got myself back - we as a family are dealing with a huge amount so when I do get online it can literally be minutes before Im being hit by family members 

Its serious poo 

I will get back into the flow
