I'll be having Christmas off for healthy eatting.......but I have to say, anytime I am going out for a meal/night out etc, I always have exactly what I want and don't bother about the healthy eatting. Life is far too short to constantly be bothered with your weight and so on these occasions I don't bother.

I've been lucky so far in that, even when I have been bad I have still lose weight - but it's maybe down to pure flukiness. Weigh-in tonight! :)

Good luck with weigh in tonight :)
Mine is tomorrow eeekkk.

I agree with you on going out etc, I have whatever I fancy.
Also when I go on holiday and totally dont think about Slimming World and just get back on plan when I get home.

Yes I'm going to enjoy my Christmas meals out but will still cut back on the usual holiday amounts I use to eat of chocolates/cheese and booze!

Weigh in tonight - fingers crossed I have not gained and have lost that 1/2 pound to reach my first stone.

Will be miffed if not but not been filling in my food diary this week and went to an earlier meeting last time not an after tea onerolleyes will have to work harder if Ive not lost this week!
 
Well, I lost 1lb last night (was hoping it was going to be 2lbs as that's what my home scales said, but never mind). So that's 34lbs now! :)

Fab weight loss that:)

I lost 1/2lb not a massive loss but got me to my first stone so got a pretty blue sticker:)

Am happy - big goal for me - next target is my club 10 in 9lbs then the 2nd stone, will be hard in the run up to Christmas but I'll try my best.

Consultant set me a 2lb target for next week (but wish he wouldnt do that as I like to go at my own slow but steady pace!)

Realised why it was only half pound last week - don't reckon I always eat enough! So bigger portions, more fruit/vege/salad and no leaving 5-6+ hours between meals/snacksrolleyes need to up my water intake too. Starting on the food diary again too as gave up on that last week.
 
Thought I would join in.

Ive never been to slimming world but have been losing weight for 2 years now. I'm type 1 diabetic and I carb count for my insullin. I started in oct 2008, I was size 14 and was 11st11 bmi was 30 :(, That shocked me into a whole lifestlye change.

I stoped snacking and ate smaller meals. I have lost weight really slowly over the last 2 years. I have found the last few pounds the hardest. Managed to get to 9st3 and size 10 for my wedding in Aug this year and its just taken me 3 months to loose 3lb to get to my target of 9st0 last week! I really had to up my excersize for the last few lb try to walk 7 miles aday.

Idealy my ideal weight is 8 1/2 stone but it will **** take me another year for the last half a stone!
 
So all you lovely slimmers
How has your weekend been? I hope you have all got through it.
Mine has been good. I went out to Pizza Express and cinema with the hubby last night and ordered a low calorie pizza which was lovely :)
it works out at 25 syns for the whole pizza and comes with salad in the middle too. x

Here is a photo I took of it.....

I do like the look of those use to have the Gardinera (spelling?) one without cheese or pesto so it was vegan.

Weekend has been ok - had chinese out Sat lunch - sweet and sour veggie chicken (mock meats made from soya) with steamed plain rice. Have no idea how to work out syns for that meal - I dont have quorn so dont know if it compares to that?

I had jacket supd and beans for tea so think I got away with the Chinese!

Today I have been making a birthday cake for my Mum - made a choc one at first then decided a lemon/lime one would be better so made that - have put sugar free apricot jam in middle of lemon/lime one but put some choc spread in middle of choc one and dairy free choc drops on top both are made in my silicone butterfly shaped cake mould.

Trouble is I had to have a spoonful of the choc spread and some of the choc drops - resulting in me feeling very sick for ages - dont think my body can cope with high fat foods anymore! Serves me right:))rolleyes

Back on track tonight - SW wedges, veggies, veg sausage wont have anything else now. Did cook a chicken style burger as got things to use up but got it out of the oven and it was swimming in fat so left it and had a vege sausage!

Wont be a great week as will have cake, alcohol and Indian meal Tues Mums birthday then next Sat am out with friends and Sun is family do for Mums birthday so more cake:{

Must keep on track - still about 3 stone to go!

Think Christmas will be tricky.

Realised today I've now totally got over the over eating of some foods/drinks like crisps and alcohol but the chocolate/cake one is still an area I need to keep an eye on!
 
You will be fine Alison :)
Enjoy the Birthday treats and just count it as a flexi day, we still have to go out and enjoy our social life afterall.

I'm not too fussed about most foods now, when I frst started sw I was craving all the bad stuff all the time. Now I like things in moderation, I keep in plenty of treat size chocolate bars which are all less than 6 syns each and I also keep in some low syn ice cream lollies too.
At the moment I really love the Skinny Cow caramel shortcake lollies and also the mini chocolate twisters x
 
So how is everyone getting on so far this week?
I had a flexi day on saturday so I could go out and enjoy pizza with my hubby but been good since.
I am abit naughty though as not exercised at all since Friday, tonight I'm going to my fitness class though then will go on my exercise bike the rest of the week. x

Hi ladies. Can I join you in this little club?
I joined SW 3 weeks ago, got a very nasty shock on the scales, then have been ill ever since (and I eat when I'm ill!). The one thing that seems as though its going to be a problem for me is that the OH and I run 2 youth football teams. When we get home from training, which can be about 9pm, the last thing I feel like doing is cooking. And yet it is too early to eat before we go. The easiest option is the chip shop! LOL. Any good ideas?

Hiya Hun
I only just seen this msg from you.
Do you have a slow cooker? These are great for those evenings when you are out until late. I often use mine so I can come straight home and just eat.
At the moment they are on offer for only £7 at Asda too.
I usually make things like casserole, stew, soup, curry, bolognese, chilli.
xxxxx
 
I have had a good week - worked a Chinese in ok Sat.

Been very much on track as tonight is a flexi night for Mums birthday - I made a yummy vegan choc cake and a lemon/lime one - I have had a small slice of the choc cake - wont have any the other one. Dont know what a small slice of choc cake is syns wise - about 1/2 a normal size slice.

We are getting an Indian meal in tonight for Mum and me - I shall have a vegetable rogan josh with plain rice and onion salad I guess about 8 syns?. My Dad fancied Chinese instead but will order all meat/fried food so I wont go near that, however he has ordered chips - again I wont have any as never know if they are cooked with meat so they never tempt me.

Will have either 1 glass of wine or a beer 6 syns.

Working 8.30am -7pm tomorrow as got parents evening so I shall aim to go for weigh in at 7pm just up the road from work, saves me going Thursday as so tired and got a chesty cough that everyone at work thinks is a chest infection but I feel ok. Not excercising this week - am too wheezy! New gym by work opens Mon - think I'm going Sunday to the open day to check out any good opening deals.

Really looking forward to my curry:)
 
Hi Alison
I hope you enjoyed your mums Birthday and hope you enjoy the curry too.
I was having a nose around the Slimming World site earlier and found a lovely recipe for Apple Crumble, been out today and got the ingredients so going to attempt to make it on Friday I reckon.

Awww I'm glad you are finding the thread helpful hun :)

Am happy - lost 3lbs this week:):):)

And after curry, chinese, chocolate, cake and beer too!
Well impressive but I know it does not mean I can have a 2nd slice of cake!

I have not done any excercise either, have started havin a shot of hemp oil daily as think I was lacking essential fatty acids in my new lower fat diet. My skin was all dry/flaky even scaly so had to get some good oil (doubt my consultant will be impressed with my knocking back oil shots:))) my skin is much better now and they do say good oils burn fat.

I went to the meeting near work after a 13 hour working day but have text my usual consultant to let him know I beat his lose 2lb challenge last week!
 
For those of you that enjoy hot chocolate I picked up some Alcafe Hot Chocolate Light (instant, just add water) from Aldi only 37 calories per drink :))

Ooo I love hot chocolate. My favourite is Highlight chocolate fudge which is 2 syns a sachet x
 
I love hot choc but all the instant ones are packed full of milk powderrolleyes I have to have Montezumas hot choc flakes - pure choc flakes and sooooooo good, have to make those with soya or rice milk so needless to say dont have it very often! Many syns:{
 
Oh god the week has gone so quick and cant believe I will be weighing in tomorrow morning...... x
 
I'm gutted, had a 1.5lbs gain this week :(
I have been really good too and stuck within my syns so god knows why.
Our bodies can be blooming weird at times x
 
Sorry to hear that but yes bodies are strange things!

I ate very much to plan the week before and lost 0.5lb last week I ate too much and had fatty fods yet lost 3lbs really can't work it out sometimes!

Have been fancying chocolate today - gave in and got some from Aldi a new dark choc bar with almonds and orange topping - pure bilss, difference with me now is I have had 2 of the 8 squares and will save the rest, in the past I'd of not worried and eaten the whole bar in one go!Will work out syns later its a 70g bar with 8 squares.

Do like being in control these days:)

Food today has been:

B - 2 wheatabix, rice milk from allowance, blueberries

L - leftover pasta/bolagnaise, side salad

D - SW chips, 1 veggie sausage, mushy peas, baked tomato and mushrooms

Snacks - 2 cubes choc and had some soya yoghurt and blueberries.

If hungry later might have some rice pud (comfort food needed in foggy cold weather!)
 
Sounds like you have had a good day Alison.
We've had chinese tonight, I weighed it all out though to make sure I got the correct amount to syn it up lol x
 
I had a good day apart from my new fave naughty - the new kallo rice cakes - in branston pickle and sea salt and vinegar flavours - healthier than pringles I guess but yet to work out syns:x

Trying to forget the rest of that choc now:red
