Extra Easy New to MiniMins and Slimming World!

[Nikcot]

I started on Wednesday, my sister has been doing it for 3 weeks now and has lost 12lbs! So I'm hoping to follow in her footsteps. 7 weeks until my birthday and would love to be a stone lighter by then

Syn free crisps are ok in moderation on an EE day / Green day. Just dont overdo it.

I just tried the crisps, yummy! I only ate 3-4 though the rest of them are still stuck to the plate!

Ive barely touched my syns today so I could losen my syn belt a bit for some crisps. Im glad someone said that though as I assumed they'd be syn free and I LOVE crisps!

My understanding of the plan is any free food eaten as a snack & not part of a meal has to be synned! This is to avoid over eating.

Off to the Chinese to get my chop suey and boiled rice 5 1/2 syns. Totally missing out on what I usually have tho anyone have any ideas on meals to take to work? I work in a hairdressers so dont always have a lot of time to sit and eat. I always take a lot of fruit tho.

Make some lovely soups,freeze them and microwave at work or take in a flask x

I made up a huge batch of 'super speed soup' today. Apparently you losw a lot faster on it? It tastes lush. The recipe is above in the slimming world recipes.

free food can be eaten at any time freely. at no point does it become synned.

It does if you are abusing it. So, making a cake & replacing flour with cous cous =
Food abuse. Making crisps to snack on instead of synning crisps = food abuse. Making tortilla chips from lasagne sheets instead of synning real ones = food abuse.

Having a mugshot/savoury rice as a snack = not food abuse,

Loads of threads on here discussing this.

Absolutely, i meant free food in its original form, not tweaked in any way.
I remember years ago being able to blitz a can of macaroni cheese and use it as a sauce lol!

Morning everyone! I get Monday's off. What does everyone have for breakfast?!

 

[kingleds]

Theres a whole thread called whats for breakfast that you could take a look at for ideas.

 

[Soph.w]

Thanks!

 

[Sarah23fly]

Hi ya, today I had porridge .

I cant believe im going to say this but I think Ive lost weight. Maybe only a pound but I can see a bit of difference.

Tomorrow will tell, fingers crossed!

My fav is Magic Porridge (28g porridge oats mixed into any flavour mullerlight, covered & left in fridge over night)

 

[Stoo]

welcome aboard and thanks for the crisp recipe, i'll give it a try

 

[Soph.w]

And why haven't I been hungry today?!

 

[Showag]

Hi all.

Im a restarting newbie-ish lol

I started slimming world a few months ago and only went for about 4/5 weeks, i did quite well and lost 13lbs but I thought it was a bit expensive to stand on scale and be told my weight so ive opted to go to boots every fortnight for my weigh in instead! I started SW again yesterday so fingers crossed it all goes good.

Im doin extra easy! I still find green and red a little confusing so going to keep trucking on and reading threads to understand it a bit more!.

Good luck to everyone though!!
