Um .... more Q`s from me lol

[Daisysp8]

Hello :wavey: ...... I`ll be lurkerising and being annoying in here on my journey so thought i`d best introduce myself proper

I`m Daisy, i`m 30 .... I was a size 8 up to getting preggers with my son (who`s now 6) and then went up to 15 stone ... Got myself down to 10st 4lbs for my wedding last year, but found it slowly creep back up, and found that the only way i could get it down was to starve myself ... never good, used to be anorexic and don`t wanna go there again. I`m hypo-thyroid (which has a lot to answer for) and suffer with various other ailments that have caused issue for weightloss ... But i`m hoping to get to the 9 (ish) stone mark by spring next year.

On to the start of the many questions lol ...... You seem a friendly bunch

If i make my own slimming world chips (which are yum, i have to say) are they only free on EE and Green ?

I`m tending to be more of a Red day .. (i do like my meat lol and the 2x HE)

Also how the hecky thump do you get your pizza and chocolate fix ? ? I have been reeeeeeeealllly good .. and i mean really, really, really good ... but daaaarn i`m missing my choccy and pizza, to the point i`m dreaming about it :nightf: :17729:



When i got weighed on my first day, i then weighed my self at home too (10st 13lbs) ... and this morning i had a cheeky jump on the scales ( i don`t normally, I only did coz i`m ill with a cold and scared i`m going to pile it on coz of medication) ... but i`m 10st 5lbs :character00100::bliss: .... So yay coz it is working but crikey i really would like a domino`s of pizzahut fer tea


Reet enough of my waffle for now ... (mmmm waffles) lol !!

Hi Daisy - yes, only syn free on Green / EE.

Pizza fix: Take a look on the recipe forum as I'm pretty sure there was some kind of pizza base people were making using smash / mashed potato. Also one of the supermarkets wholemeal bread mixes is a HexB. A search in minimins should bring that up too.

My choc / sweet fix at the moment is coming courtesy of Skinny Cow dipper lollies (3 syns) or the caramel shortcake lolly stick at 4.5 syns.

What are you using your healthy extras on? I found it hard to go from 2 A's and B's to 1 initially, but have found some tweaks. (Eg Syn free yog on breakfast cereal instead of milk / changed to black redbush tea instead of 'normal' so don't need milk allowance for hot drinks).

If we have an idea of your likes / dislikes we can try and give you some more tips.

I get my chocolate fix from a curly wurly, i be extra good all day and save up my syns and treat myself! I think it is 5/6 syns? Or a small pack of buttons - thats low in syns too.

If you are doing red days a lot - there was a recipe in the mag a while back where you use chicken for a pizza base (slice it in half and lay flat) and then top with passata, cheese, herbs and other meaty things not like the real thing I know, but might help with the cravings!!

Sounds like your loss this week is gonna be a blummin good one! Good luck hun, dont give in to the pizza desires! Having lost a good amount of weight at the WI is a MUCH better feeling than the very short lived pleasure you get out of having a pizza - i promise! xxx

if you like red days get a chicke breast and flatten it with a meat tenderizer then top with chopped toms basil and mozzerella (hexa) and whatever else you want should sastifie pizza cravings

I'm a red/green day fan (mainly as i enjoy my cheese too much to only have one HeA of it on EE). And if i'm in the mood for a chip like fix - i'll either do the 227g of jacket spud in wedges - or 198g of new potatoes - still parboiled and then roasted - usually with spices on them as well. OK, not real chips (even in a SW sense) but enough to get me by.
