Hey bayside! No i haven't done slimming world before. I was always a weight watchers girl! I did loose weight with them but always put it back on! I am enjoying slimming world so far! You can have cheese! I love cheese!

 

[BaysideJ]

Are you going to have any syns? SW is great cos you can eat loads of food. good luck.

Hey bayside! No i haven't done slimming world before. I was always a weight watchers girl! I did loose weight with them but always put it back on! I am enjoying slimming world so far! You can have cheese! I love cheese!

oh i love cheese too! have just about got out of the habit of slicing great chunks to nibble on whilst grating it !! miss that

 

[clairedebear]

I had a teaspoon of olive oil (for the baked potatoes) which i forgot to syn, but its two syns so not too bad! t

I made two baked potatoes but my sister took the other one!

I cant wait until monday when i get weighed in, big block of brie sitting in the fridge which i am going to get stuck into! lovely!

Well done one your weight loss so far! How long has it taken you?

 

[clairedebear]

Just figured out that i can have 28g of brie as a HEB! Am away to devour!

 

[BaysideJ]

i started on March 4th and it's been going pretty well, only gained 1lb once (still don't know why on that week!)
it's a great plan but the willpower does drift a bit at times

If you can, try to eat at least 5 syns a day cos you may need to cut back later when near target.

Hope you lose your 4lbs this week, I lost 3.5 in my first week.

 

[clairedebear]

That brie was lovely! Thank you for the advice! What is your normal green/red day?

 

[BaysideJ]

i always do green days as i don't eat meat and i love pasta, potatoes and rice
I usually use at least one of my healthy extras on cheese. I often have a feta cheese salad for lunch. Yum!!!

 

[clairedebear]

Feta cheese salad brilliant idea, will have to try it! Do you eat Quorn? I tried the chicken fillets thought they were disgusting!

 

[BaysideJ]

yes i do eat quorn a lot. tend to use the mince or chicken style pieces as they take on the taste of whatever you are making- great for loads of meals eg shepherds pie, curries, pasta sauces etc, and cos they're free on green you can eat quorn with potato, pasta and rice too
The plain fillets are ok, i used to eat them with a roast dinner, baked with either honey and mustard or with white wine and thyme (cooked in foil). Would have to syn those now

I eat the quorn sausages and burgers too as they're free.

I ate like a pig yesterday and i really didnt enjoy it, felt guilty the whole time, but back to the grindstone! I was very good exercise wise yesterday, took the dog for two long walks and did an exercise video for half and hour- definatly feeling it in my shoulders today!

Working 2-10 today so wont get much exercise done, but i am going to make up for it tomorrow, or maybed i will walk to work, i'll see.

Made myself a fruit smoothie for my breakfast this morning, it was lovely and syn free

Smoothie, 9 strawberries, Mullerlight yogurt and a banana, blitzed until smooth, it was lovely

Hopefully i will have a successful day today
