Slimming world support thread 2

I think slimming is not a good way because it produces more diseases and creates more problems in our daily life.

Hello all!I'm new here and I'm just about to go back to SW on Tuesday after a dramatic fall from the wagon!I look forward to hearing about everyone elses SW experiences!

Hi, I'm back. I've been offline for a while. SW is going ok. I have just moved from my family home into a student flat as I am going to uni soon. I'm finding that being on a budget doesn't effect SW at all. It's been mostly green days for me. Has anyone made a fantastic meal that they would like to share? I'm looking for inspiration!

Does anyone know the syns of Asdas 'Nutritionally Balanced' Salmon teriyaki and 'Fresh Tastes' Salmon Niscoise meals? I have them in the fridge and one of them looks like dinner!

Hi! Hadn't realised there were slimming world threads. Cool!

Im down 3lb this week and got my stone and a half award at class.

If anyones got this months mag - the 3 bean chilli recipe is to die for! Delicious, cheap to make and all free on a green day

Hey all! I'm going back to SW on Tuesday (23rd) after a 4-ish year hiatus. I got a ways to go, so wish me weight loss!!

Can anyone tell me how many syns are in a MAGGI stock cube (tiny square cubes in foil)? It's an African cooking staple and I cook everything with it. They sell it in bags of like, 20 or so here in the UK.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

I got weighed fairly recently and was less than I thought but naughty naughty have not weighed myself since. Tryig to be good. I have and a tasty raspberry granola (shapers from Boots) this morning. A bit too sweet for me and not to be encouraged every morning. 188 calories - well, better than the huuuge veggie samaosa I was lusting after anyway.

Happy to report Ive hit my 2stone mark and lost my 10% body weight

Hi all.....well thats me back again......after falling off the wagon rather dramatically last year I have finally decided to get back on track. Doesn't look like any of the 'old' gang is still here, but hey, looking forward sharing my journey with you all.....I lost 2 stone last year before falling off the wagon, and since then I have gained 3 stone back.

I have been diagnosed a few months ago with a severely underactive thyroid and have been put on medication. I am starting to feel better now but my weight is not going down yet. My doctor gave me reductil now and I'm starting to take it tomorrow. Hopefully I will see a change soon.

I have attended a scottish slimmers meeting yesterday, but I didn't really like it and find it very confusing, so I think I will re-joing SW next week.....at least I know what I'm doing lol......

Well my starting point is 20st 4lb.....hopefully by Xmas I will be down a stone.....

peacock 2 · 10-24-2008, 08:11 AM

Moony- Do I count as 'Old gang'?? I have been here for quite a while. I hope the meds help and good luck with SW.

Amy - Regarding the Maggi stock cubes - I think if you go to SW you get a password and so can go online to check the syn value. I would be very surprised though if it was more than say 1-2 syns. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Congrats Debs! That's a great loss

Moonchild · 10-27-2008, 08:22 AM

Peacock, didn't even see you there!!!! Of course you count as old gang lol......Well, been on the tablets now since saturday morning and I think I already feel a change in my appetite. Don't know if it's just my imagination, but I seem to be having less cravings.....my other half is on backshift this week, so this will be the true test....cause usually if I'm home by myself, I tend to eat a lot more.......or sneak in a Mc D's lol.....

peacock 2 · 11-05-2008, 10:00 AM

Afternoon all. Hope all is well on the weighing scales!

I passed an accident this morning and was rather shocked that a mum was standing there with her two kids gawping! Obviously not anything to do with the crash. I really let rip and called her disgusting. She said I was stupid! Well rather that than spend my time gawping at a poor motocyclist and allowing her 2 young kids to view it all. Good grief!

Moonchild · 11-06-2008, 05:51 AM

Hey Peacock,

Absolutely shocking....some people really do need a reality check...it's disgusting!

Anyhoo, joined up again yesterday, and my new group seems really nice. Especially after the scottish slimmers desaster from 2 weeks ago. I weigh in at 20st 4lb, same as I was a couple of weeks ago on the GP's scale. But to be fair I have not really watched what I was eating, so I'm not surprised. I've been taking Reductil for a bit over a week now, and I think I feel less hungry.....but only time will show....will make my weekly plan during the day. But have a party on Saturday, so I have to wait and see what happens this week.....

peacock 2 · 11-06-2008, 09:13 AM

Good lucky Moonchild!

I have not weighed myself for a long time and don't think the scales will work properly so that probably means a visit to Boots. Although i no longer go to SW I know (I think!) enough about it to know what to do (says she!). Of course all the no syn 'free' food may have changed now - sometimes that happens.....

I remember eating a tin of WW rice pud - foul! and about 13 syns to boot!!

However I believe the Quorn stuff is still low/free so I should be ok there and I eat mainly pasta and rice and always stick to green days as I am veggie.

Of course I do indulge in chocolate (wish I had some today!) and other -worse stuff but I am trying!

Does anyone know if those batchelors pasta packets are still low in syns - they used to be free - I got a load of the Mushroom and ? ones.

Moonchild · 11-07-2008, 06:43 AM

I think they are still free......, u just have to use some of ur A choice for the milk.....yeh, just checked, they are free on green.....and i love them....they do fill u up quiet a bit....and if u tart them up a bit, u can even have them as a full meal.....

Yeh, quiet a few things have changed since I fell off the wagon.....but nothing severe....mostly still the same.....
