Thread: Student Slimmers!!!

Sorry its been awhile the internet in my phone has been going funny. Nice to see some new members and plans put in place I find this is key. As for me I start uni on monday and its freshers week but ive got a plans in place. Im living at home so meals most of the time wont be bad and break fast will be fine and the rest of the time I aim to stick to salads and jacket spuds and keep stocked up on free and low syn snacks and the alcohol should not be a problem as a don't drink much xx

So I'm feeeling quite positive. Going out tonight, but have enough syns for a glass of wine before we go out, and will stick to diet coke after that.
Been sticking to my meal plan so far, which I reckon will also help me save money as well as lose weight!

That's an amazing feat of resistance, Clairebear! I've not had to resist anything yet, really: we're all graduates on a tight budget, so we're all sitting around the cafeteria eating cheap and healthy packed lunches! I'm very relieved about this

Thankyou I weigh in tomorrow, so after my last 2 weeks of gains, I'm hoping for a loss. If I can lose during the first week back, I'll feel confident for the rest of the year! at least that's the theory.
I'm finding eating healthily is saving money too

Yeah, I agree: eating packed lunched is definitely cheaper than eating in the canteen.

Good luck for WI tomorrow! x

Hello

I know I'm jumping in a but late but just joined MM this week and nice to see that there are other students in the same boat as me!

My main worry is my friends will always have a coffee and a scone/cookie/etc mid morning and I will have my apple and green tea and they nag at me to eat a scone too and that I will make them fat! They only joke about it but I worry that I will give in soon!

As for dinner, etc I always have a pan of soup chuck in your veg and stock cook and blitz and counts as 1/3 of SF too if you have it with dinner. I always end up making it from whatever veg is leftover or I always have a bag of peas in the freezer. Anything left over you know you wont eat just freeze and microwave it or stick it in a pan and heat up from frozen.

Hope you are all doing well

Lauren

Not to late at all Lauren!!!
well i've been back on track for a week and a half now after struggling in those first few weeks of uni. I've got to say i'm enjoying it more then i ever have before. My uni friends have now joined me in my slimming campaign and we swap meal ideas almost everyday. i'm glad they've joined in it means i get pulled up if im doing something wrong lol
I'm not going to group because i can't fit it in with placement and what have you, and i've decided not to weigh myself every week because i get too hung up on it and go off track everytime i stay the same or have a small loss!! stupid i know but i think feeling happier with myself is more important then the number on the scale!!

Hello

I'm writing this from my computer at uni and the stress of writing this assessment makes me just want to go and eat everything! Though as of yet I have resisted.

That's good you are all on plan can see how much easier it is to do it, my mum started SW ages ago so I always slink back over if things are getting a bit tough.

I completely understand about the number thing too at the moment I am going on how I'm feeling in my clothing and I still get weighed on a Friday but try not to get too upset if it's not what I want, especially if it was an excess week!

Nice to speak to you

Lauren

I am a great fan of grapefruit... it feels like im eating sherbet (must be my tastebuds?)

Also loving cereal bars, would really recommend 1 HxB Kellogs Fibre Plus - so yummy and chocolaty and with a healthy b no syns!

Bit of a wobble this week dreading weigh in tonight, just had one of those weeks when you just eat everything in sight but up and ready to go again and get back on track xx
