Slimming for Santa - Slimming World support thread 2018

GTQ Not aware of being able to do cake like things with oats in the microwave. Maybe it might be worth experimenting a bit. You could do flavoured porridge in the microwave, not the same but at least it would be filling.

Not sure if you go to group but if you do there is a section under "Useful Features" on the website where they have meals in a microwave - not sure if there might be something of use in that. Worth a look. You can certainly do a sort of omelette in a mug!

Went to WI this morning and was happy to see a small loss of 0.5lb! Damage limitation obviously worked from Monday to today!

Today's plan:

B - fruit - after WI
L - spinach, sweet potato & feta parcel (9.5 syns for 2:eek:); sweet jacket potato
D - bean cassoulet & mash (cassoulet from freezer - recipe from website but used red wine stock pot rather than wine as didn't have any open when I made it!)

HEA - milk as usual
HEB - not decided but may have a couple of hifi or some toast this evening
Syns - feta 3.5; filo pastry 6

Wonder what weigh in will bring tonight?

What matters is that you go and then you'll know exactly where you stand. Far better than worrying about it IMO.:)


Well done on your loss denise. Reining back obviously worked.:T


Good to see you sirens. You've done well to turn it around.


I quite like the cold overnight oats for a change gtq. They can be a bit claggy but much more filling than a measly portion of bran flakes. I use the Aldi red fruits too with a small amount of sweetener and sometimes a few drops of almond essence.


I'm drawing a line under what I've had in the past 24 hours. DH and I had a really good time but some of the options weren't SW friendly. Mainly white bread but I enjoyed all the extra syns except for an OK little pudding which I could have done without but as it was a set menu I ate it. I suppose I could have fed it to DH but too late now.


Bolognese from the freezer tonight so all SW friendly. I think I'll grate a few syns of Parmesan as a few more won't make that much difference.:)

I like the idea of the baked oats Denise, but can only have at weekend really, as I would prefer them warm. Is there a similar option to the bake a cake in a mug in microwave that you are aware of, or do I just experiment?

Breakfasts are the most difficult I find, so my "treat" breakfast at work will be scrambled eggs on toast, or turkey rashers roll, as they can be done in the microwave. I can't stomach the thought of food before leaving for work!

You can make a cake in a mug i will see if i can find recipe for you, someone that posts on my group does it
I dont find overnight oats claggy at all but then i put fruit, oats, yoghurt and repeat 3 times topping off with fruit and because it frozen, i leave out overnight , pop in my bag and toddle off to work then have it in the car once i have dropped dh off:D
