Hello, is there a reason why you are gaining? do you know why? or is it unexplained gains? x

i guess im not doing as well as i thought i was its not very often i go over syns my friend who is also doing slimming world with me thinks im not eating enough but i feel like im eating more than enough. i normally loose about 1lb a week but last few weeks ive had a maintains and gains i would post my diarys so u all could see what ive eaten but consultant likes to keep them for some reason

Firstly, have you synned the chicken salad from McDonalds? I'm pretty sure it's synned, someone should confirm though.
Secondly, what day are you doing? red, green or ee? x

 

[marlenep]

no i didnt syn it as it was grilled chicken no dressing and plenty of veg i didnt know it could be a syn :/ im on the extra easy plan x

 

[***Saskya***]

I think the McDonalds salad has syns hunny. Are you drinking plenty? x

 

[Lizzzi]

no i didnt syn it as it was grilled chicken no dressing and plenty of veg i didnt know it could be a syn :/ im on the extra easy plan x

Maybe i'm getting confused with something else but i'm sure its around 2 syns even without dressing. Someone should confirm though. No idea why it's synned, must be something added to it x

 

[marlenep]

yes i drink loads ive gone from 3 sugars per cup of tea to sweetners fizzy pops i now only drink diet coke instead of what used to be loads of normal coke, or free 7 up and i drink either water or sugar free juice. errruughhh damn mcdonalds !

Salad, Grilled Chicken & Bacon Salad, per portion 1.5syns

Just checked syns for you so not too bad! xx

 

[marlenep]

oh thank god for that but would of thought it was syn free considering no dressing grilled chicken and plenty of veg ...little confusing lol

 

[Lizzzi]

There you go, 1.5 is nothing. Don't worry! just be careful with hidden syns x

 

[***Saskya***]

They might cook it in something with syns, it is McDonalds after all hehe x

 

[marlenep]

well yes this is true but i thought i was being really good having salad while everyone else muching on burgers and nuggets etc i will defo remember the syns tho next time im taking my own salad with me lol

 

[***Saskya***]

I dont think 1.5 syns is too bad hunny xx

 

[Lizzzi]

well yes this is true but i thought i was being really good having salad while everyone else muching on burgers and nuggets etc i will defo remember the syns tho next time im taking my own salad with me lol

at the end of the day, at least you didn't opt for the burgers and nuggets and stuck to a low syn/healthy option which feels impossible when you're in McDonalds. Be proud of that on it's own

 

[marlenep]

no its not its good actually and its filling too so cant really grumble at that but will find out off my little brother what they cook the chicken in etc as he works there. thanks ladies i really didnt know it was a syn. thanks lizzie i am proud as i do like mcdonalds and its never easy when the kids sit and offer what they no longer want but i managed to stay away from temptation. i just need to get my motivation back ive been loosing really slowly and altho i dont want huge loss each week i would like it to be a little more than a pound or half a pound.my friend is as naughty as she likes and she still looses like 2.5lb each week.....slightly jealous actually lol
