Slimming Through The Winter - Slimming World Support Thread 2018

I'm over the moon! I lost 1lb today and am now back in target:j.:j

I'll stick to plan today but that will be it for the next week but I'll be straight back on it when I get back from holiday.

That's a good plan Kathryn. As you know I usually use my syns weekly as want more at the weekend and less during the week, although this last few weeks I've been sticking to the 10-15 a day with just the odd day of going over!

Welcome Annie. I'm another diamond target member and have been for about 6 years but went out of target range after a fortnight's holiday in January, which as you can see above I've finally got back, just in time for another holiday:D

Today's plan:

B - fruit after WI - apple slices & grapes (bought a snack pack on the way into Group)
L - bacon & egg sandwich (HEB + 3)
D - HM SW faggots; mash & veg from freezer, probably green beans & peas

HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - spread 2; brown sauce 1; not sure what else.

See you all in a weeks time!

Well it's -1/2 for me again. Why is it so hard to lose the last few lbs.:rotfl:

Why indeed?? although I'd gladly swap with you.:)


Mixed news for me at WI today. I gained a pound.:( That's the bad news but the good part is that I'm still in target...just.:)


I am a bit perplexed as I know I've been sticking to plan and stayed within syns but I suppose as I haven't weighed since December 4th, a pound is nothing.


I've got a meal out tomorrow and no idea of the menu but other than that I'm going to try hard.


I stayed to group this morning. There were a couple of old faces there that I haven't seen for 5 or 6 years. They're starting again. One of them said she'd made the Smash pizza that she used to enjoy years ago. The consultant lectured her on cheats and said that although she'd loaded the 'pizza' with vegetables she must have more on the side. We questioned her about what was the difference between having veg in a meal compared with on the side (surely it still counted as part of a third?) and she said on the side was very important, a new SW thing because people were disappointed they weren't getting the losses. I'm really confused about this. I can't see why, for example, layering tomatoes on top of a cottage pie is any different from roasting them separately. She seemed only to be able to see it as a plate divided into thirds and if the cottage pie (in my example) covered more than a third of the plate then it wouldn't be right even if it was full of veg. I'm sure that's not right but the message I'm taking away is have loads of Speed and keep the carbs down.:)


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB Weetabix, HEA milk
L: veggie (courgette, tomato, mushroom, spring onion) omelette with pickled cabbage, ham and cottage cheese
sausage, swede/carrot/potato mash, cauli, broccoli, kale, peas. Berries & yogurt.
Syns: BGTY sausages 2, gravy 2

I’ve often wondered that Maman as it didn’t make sense to me either.

SSM - what I meant was that the swimming costume I described isn’t really practical for swimming as the skirt bit either clings to your legs or (if sitting in the jacuzzi) everything puffs up lol.

Off to choir tonight so hubby will make a mushroom & ham omelette when I come back - MIL trained him well

Sorry for your gain but like you say from 4th dec thats good:T
Our consultant says so you eat more speed like that than free food, but thats generally waht i do, it's rare for me to have carbs, she says having chips today:rotfl::rotfl:

Hi everyone!
Am back off my holiday. Had a fantastic time, eating exactly what I wanted. The full Irish breakfasts each morning were most definitely my favourite! In a week I gained 5lbs which I about expected to be honest- its the same gain I had at Xmas for a similar amount of time off plan. Went shopping today and bought a load of SW friendly food- finally managed to get some Halo Top, I chose the vanilla bean. It was nice but not worth £5! Got a very difficult few days coming up- Am away tomorrow night at the rugby then out for a meal for OH birthday on Saturday. Thankfully were only going to Nandos we had a few Nandos while we were away and I have to say the butterfly burger is gorgeous and it was so lovely to have a fizzy drink with my meal rather than having to stick to water
Todays menu:
B: Overnight oats, 2 x decaf coffee with HEXA
L: Ham salad with cauliflower couscous, 100ml vanilla bean Halo Top (3) with raspberries and banana, water
T: Jacket spud with beans and salad, 2 x satsumas, Apple, water
S: Crisps (6.5) 4 Broghies with smoked salmon (4)
Syns: 13.5
I brought a case full of food back with me (most of it wasnt for me I might add ) I brought 4 bags of Broghies in my checked baggage and was shocked that they were entirely intact when I got them home :rotfl:
Love to you all xx
