Get Spooking & Slimming for Halloween - Slimming World support thread 2017

Thanks greentiger . I'm just celebrating now! About to watch MOTD although they probably won't say much about us.

Lunch went well, everyone enjoyed themselves. I didn't do too badly but couldn't be a party pooper.

I shared a starter of chicken wings, potato skins and mozzarella sticks( I didn't eat these) and then I had a chicken Caesar main. Syns were in oil, bit of cheese, minimum chicken skin and some mayo and croutons. Then a few gins. OMG sounds awful when I list it.:eek:

Oh well, back on plan tomorrow until Wednesday.

Did a big shop today, so all set for the week ahead. Bought heb bread in the main supermarket in town as I thought Aldi didn't do one. Then discovered a bread I hadn't noticed in Aldi before. Checked it on the app and it's a heb at a fraction of the cost. I know which one I'll be getting in future!

I get the point about the syns in the protein bar I had for lunch yesterday. It won't be an everyday occurance, and I probably won't buy anymore when I run out, but I'm not going to let the ones I have go to waste :money:

Here's what I had for day 2. Any feedback welcome. I think it's starting to come back to me now, although I did have to bring a list of speed with me when I was shopping!

B apple, pear, peach, Yoplait super frutii yogurt, cholesterol yogurt drink (2)
L mugshot, Clementine, fibre one (4)
D speedy spag bol, quark, options (2), strawberries
Snacks banana, spicy toms (4.5), 2 hi-fi bars (hxb)
Hxa milk for tea
Syns 12.5

Wow! That's a load of Speed fruit. Well done. :T and well done for being organised!

Out of curiosity what are fibre one and spicy tomatoes?

All I'd say is try to have a balance of Speed fruit and vegetables as fruit is higher in sugar but I'm nitpicking really. SW reviewed the fruit list a while ago and limited the Speed ones.

Which bread did you buy in Aldi? I didn't think they did one any more either.

I'm terrible with veg so trying to make up for it with fruit I know the veg is a better option though. I used to eat no veg at all so I'm making progress. Still experimenting to work out which ones I like. Bought some tenderstem brocolli today to try. I don't like normal brocolli but I think a lot of it is the size of it. I'll get there.

The Aldi bread is Ballymore crust thins. It was mentioned in my group last week but I thought they ment the thins as in the sandwich thins. (Does that even make sense?) But saw it today and it's actually a loaf of bread. 2 slices for hxb or 5.5 syns. (I'm in Ireland so the brand name might be different in UK. I've noticed a few differences. Ballymore crust is the brand name they put on most of there bread here.)

Fibre One are little cakey bars. They come in chocolate brownie, salted caramel and lemon drizzle. All flavours are 4 syns I think. All the main supermarkets sell them, but they can be pricey if not on offer.

Spicy toms I had never heard of before either. Found them in the specials aisle in Aldi today. They're corn crisps made by Golden Wonder. Really enjoyed them. I'll be stocking up next time I'm in.

Thanks for the info whiplashy.:)


My Aldi, which is a largish branch, doesn't sell any small loaves at all now. I'll look out for the 'thins' but it may be local to you. Lidl did a small loaf which was tasty but they don't sell those in our city centre branch, hopefully the bigger branch does them when I go there next. I feel cheated with my HEB if I can only have a single slice from a large loaf.:(


wiz had a similar problem with eating veg. She went down the list and found a few things she does like but, like you, makes up her Speed with fruit. Also, she can eat veg in soup which she doesn't like whole on her plate if that makes sense. On the fruit side you should be OK if you try to stick with the Speed stuff rather than grapes and pineapple and the other free ones.


I'm going to be on plan today except for some syns this evening. I've had a big breakfast and don't feel hungry at all at the moment so I'm going to go for a snack at lunchtime but I have other things in if I feel peckish. I'm also going to put Bolognese in the SC before I go out this afternoon to keep the freezer stocked with HM ready meals.


Today's EE plan:
B: NAS grapefruit, HEB toast, fried egg, ham, tomatoes, mushrooms
L: satsumas
S: roast chicken, SW roasties, roast BNS, swede/carrot mash, red cabbage, cauli, broccoli
Syns: gravy, gin
