Thread: 100 days at 100%

After spending the last 6 months messing around, it's time to get serious - my wedding is on 06/04/13 (exactly 100 days away) and I want to be as close to my initial target of 12 stone as I can manage, aiming to be a size 12/14 dress size (currently 16/18). I'm not sure what my current weight is as I haven't been attending group since July so I will rejoin on the 7th January and get weighed then, but I am starting the plan from today.

I plan to be on Slimming World 100% from now until the wedding day, though I may allow myself a flexi-syn day for my hen party! I'm also going to the gym and have bought the 30 day shred and some weights so I can get exercising a bit more. I will be doing a long distance cycle ride across Wales next summer (400km in total) so will also be cycling when the weather improves a bit.

I plan to track all my food and exercise on this diary to see if it will help me keep on track.

So far today I have had:

Breakfast - 2 x bacon medallions, grilled; cherry tomatoes; poached egg; clementine
Lunch - Tuna; carrots; salad leaves; cherry tomatoes; 2 x Babybel (HEA); Apple
Snack - 2 x Alpen Lights (HEB)

Dinner will be roast pork (fat removed) with broccoli, cabbage and mashed potato (no added fat) and my Syns will be saved for some of my Christmas chocolate later on.

Drinks have been water and Diet Coke, and I plan to have a glass of diet cloudy lemonade with dinner.

Brilliant start! You sound so focused I bet you can do this no problem. Will be following x

Good luck hunny you seem super focused, I can highly recommend the 30 day shred I completed it just before Christmas and lost 11.5 inches and felt great. xx

Thanks for the replies, finished my day as planned with 10 Syns of Hotel Chocolat's finest! Yum yum

Another good day so far

Breakfast: 3 x bacon medallions (grilled), cherry tomatoes and fried egg (1/2 Syn), followed by 2 Alpen Lights (HEB).
Lunch: Leftover roast pork (1 slice, fat removed), 2 Babybels (HEA), boiled egg, cherry tomatoes and salad leaves.
Snacks: Alpen Light (3 Syns), Banana

Planned for this evening is roast chicken, cabbage, carrots and mashed potato, followed by a 6 Syn chocolate lolly from Hotel Chocolat.

Yesterday and today are a bit more tricky as we are traveling from Scotland to Birmingham, trying to make good choices though.

Yesterday's food:

Breakfast - 2 bacon medallions, grilled; cherry tomatoes; 2 fried eggs (1 Syn)
Lunch - meal out - mixed salad (no dressing) with roasted smoked salmon fillet
Dinner - meal out - gammon, fried egg (1/2 Syn), side salad, new potatoes, cauliflower, carrots
Snacks - 2 Alpen Light (HEB); 2 Babybel (HEA); 2 bananas

Even allowing for some fat in cooking from the restaurant meals, I think I would have been well within my Syns for the day so I allowed myself a cheeky gin and slim after dinner (2.5 Syns)!

Today's breakfast (at a B&B) will be bacon (fat removed and hopefully grilled), fried egg (1/2 Syn), tomatoes, baked beans + Fruit if they have any. I might have some weetabix and milk as healthy extras as well - we've already paid for the breakfast, might as well get my money's worth!!!

Not sure about the rest of the day as we will be on the road for lunch and at my future in-laws for dinner, but I'll do my best.

I think I managed yesterday OK. Breakfast at the bed and breakfast was grilled bacon (fat removed), 1 fried egg (1/2 Syn), tomatoes, baked beans, 2 small slices wholemeal toast (HEB) and butter (4 Syns). Not enough superfree but other than that OK. Lunch was chicken, Babybels (HEA) and mixed salad, followed by a banana. Dinner was turkey, a large salad, and mashed potato (a couple of Syns for a small amount of butter and milk in the mash but other than that OK), followed by a fruit salad.

Today's food so far:

Breakfast - Banana, 2 Alpen Lights (HEB), bacon medallions, poached eggs, grilled tomatoes.
Lunch - Chicken, 2 Babybels (HEA), mixed salad.

Dinner will be a roast beef dinner and I am saving all my Syns to have some roasties, Yorkshire pud and gravy. I have treated myself to some Diet Coke in glass bottles for tonight's celebrations over at the in-laws to be, and will have a glass of bubbly at midnight, which will count towards tomorrow's Syns of course

Happy New Year everyone, hope your celebrations tonight are good, be they on or off-plan!

Day 6:

Midnight! - Glass of champagne (6 Syns)
Breakfast - Boiled egg with Finn Crisp (1 Syn); Fruit salad
Lunch - Tuna; Salad; Babybels (HEA); Alpen Lights (HEB)
