Hi popping in to subscribe
Do you go to group?
And what day do you weigh in?
It may help if you log syn values and healthy extras, so you know where you are ?
Good luck on your journey
Will help if I can, although going through a wobbly patch myself at the moment lol

Hi Zafira,Thank you,I am doing Slimming World Online as I can't get to the groups near me,so need as much help as I can possibly get. I weigh in on Thursday morning,although not looking forward to tomorrow as I know I have probably eaten way too much junk food this week. I should be more organised with keeping note of syns and writing down healthy extras,and will definetly be doing this.

 

[Zafira]

Good luck for your weigh in, is it at home or do you use say boots scales?
I up until a couple of weeks ago, had a note book well A5? size (half A4 size) and wrote 'everything' down, it really does help - i need to get back into the habit of it
Also it's good to look back on to see what you had on certain weeks -like a good weight loss

 

[DianaS]

I was using Boots scales because my old scales were analogue,but bought my own digital bathroom scales so just using those now. I like writing things down,I make lists for everything,I start off with good intentions and write down what i'm going to have and then stray off track when it comes to snacks.

Well done on your weight loss,that's an amazing transformation,you look really different. I can't seem to lose more than 1 to 1.5lbs a week.

Still got some to go, but am trying to get back on track-keep having chocolate urges and binges! ( my down fall!)-had been good and fully motivated for months, but just lately....

what sort of snacks do you have/like ?
might be able to give you some ideas?

 

[DianaS]

I have chocolate binges too,and cakes,actually anything sweet. Although I lost 1.5lbs this week,which considering Mother's Day and chocolate and cakes this week,I am very happy because I really thought I was going to put on weight this week. I have been walking a lot more,which I wouldn't have the effort to do before.

Lunch: Eggs,bacon,beans, 2 quorn sausages (2 syns),mushrooms,tomatoes

Dinner:Honey and Mustard Salmon,Egg noodles,Brocolli,Spinach,Peppers,Cherry Tomatoes (0.5 syns)

Off with my Son to Stonehenge today which will probably involve lots of walking. Taking a picnic which is a massive improvement on what I used to have,

Old picnic tended to consist of: scotch eggs,hummus and pitta bread,cocktail sausages,quiche,Doritos,pasties,fruit,biscuits, chocolate

What I have packed. Pasta salad (consisting of pasta,black olives,drained and rinsed,cherry tomatoes,spring onion,little mozarella balls diced.
Slimming World mini crustless quiche (with red onion,mushrooms,cherry tomatoes)
chicken breast slices
strawberries
Crisps
little chocolate nests that I made with my Son yesterday (being healthy as meant I can now cook things with my Son without feeling guilty)


Ended up walking around half of Wiltshire (it felt like it anyway),after Stonehenge we went to Old Sarum where I even ended up walking around part of the Castle wall (I would never have had the confidence to do this before),even went to Salisbury Cathedral and a walk around a local park. Managed to not go in to any of the Cafes and when asked by my boyfriend if I wanted to stop for an ice cream,I managed to say No thank you and walked past (not sure who was more shocked)

We had fish and chips for dinner as I was too tired to cook and it took 1hr45 minutes to get home by car,I ordered large fish and feeling I would try to be better than normal the small (children's) portion of chips,got home and after eating all the fish including the batter (I know it's syn free, but to me it's the best bit),I found I could only manage a quater of the chips and ended up having to leave the rest (something I probably never would've done before,I think i've finally after all these years found my full button).

Breakfast:2 eggs fried in fry light,2 grilled rashers of bacon,beans,mushrooms,sliced potato fried in actifry,2 quorn sausages (2 syns),small wholemeal bread roll (HEX B), 1 tsp flora light (1 syn),350ml skimmed milk (HEX A)

Yesterday was not a good day and really starting to feel like giving up,getting stressed in my daily life and the last thing i'm really wanting to do is to watch what I have been eating, I made some chocolate brownies with walnuts which just happen to be my favourite dessert and had some with ice cream yesterday and since I had fish and chips on Saturday I am really starting to feel fat and frumpy which I guess is an ongoing cycle with me,I feel like i'm heading for my old ways.

Yesterday for breakfast I had overnight oats with pina colada mullerlight and chunks of fresh pineapple,for lunch I had frozen french fries (not particularly good for you) which I cooked in my actifry (I didn't add any extra oil),3 slices of ham,2 eggs fried in fry light,and baked beans and for dinner I fried chicken breast pieces in fry light with some frozen stir fry vegetables and some rice I boiled and added to the mixture,I then put in quite a bit of soy sauce. For snacks yesterday I had a curly wurly,a small bag of fudge cubes,and a chocolate brownie which I warmed slightly in the microwave and then had with a huge portion of vanilla ice cream. Note to self,don't even buy the things then they won't be in the house!

I have taken lamb cubes out of the freezer and went to an outdoor market yesterday where I bought a load of vegetables including aubergines so will be making Summer lamb stew and cous cous for dinner tonight,feeling bad for the past week but onwards and upwards I guess.

Breakfast- Overnight Oats with Summer Berries and raspberry and cranberry muller light yoghurt
