Slimming world

debsarooni · 01-27-2012, 02:54 AM

Anyone here doing Slimming world?

When I was on here a few years back there was a support thread and I can't seem to see anything like that now. Can anyone point me in the direction of a SW support thread? Or shall we start a new one up?

I have just rejoined. Successfully lost half a stone so far in two weeks.

This week is going well - I am still trying to get my head round the new extra easy plan. It was all red and green days when I was doing it before.

Attempted two SW recipes this week so far:

Diet Coke Chicken - was yummy and synfree
Smash pizza - disintergrated into mash lol but still delicious

Im planning on trying the ham, egg, been and chip bake this weekend in the current mag. Looks scrummy!

I'm doing SW - absolutely love it!!

I'm struggling at the moment though - going through one of those ravenously hungry all the time phases and just want to stuff my face with carbs even though I know I don't do well with them. Very frustrating and I hope it passes soon as my losses have completely stalled at the moment. Grit teeth and work through it time

There are soooo many good recipes. have you looked at the new soup book? I've got loads of ideas from that and have made up some really yummy and filling soups this week.

I have just ordered the soup book. Hopefully my consultant will have it for me on monday. Looking forward to trying to make some homemade soups!

Hi I'm following slimming world have been for about 8 months I had lost 3 stone but after breaking my arm and Christmas getting in the way I'm now at just a 2 stone 6lb total loss.

I can't wait for the mint/choc mullers I plan on making them into ice cream

debsarooni · 02-01-2012, 02:45 AM

2 Stone 6lb is brilliant ChunkyDunk.

I can't wait to join you and have lost that! Xmas stuffed me up too but we will get our chrimbo weight off again soon!

Yes that was my plan too. Put the mint muller in the freezer and ta daa syn free mint choc chip ice cream.

Tryed sainsburies last night and none yet. Got my mate going to Morrisons today so she said she would pick me some up if they had em. Fingers crossed!

Hi ladies!
I am doing SW myself at home because there is no meeting in my part of Ireland. A friend of mine is doing it but she lives an hour away, so she gave me some of the books. Absolutely love it, its the first plan i have come across that just makes sense and it totally works for me. Never had much success with calorie counting or with ww, even when i was 100% on plan, but find slimming world suits me really well.

Was reading about that mint choc muller light! so excited! and did you see that they are bringing out a dairy milk flavour philidelphia light? 4syns per 30g apparently!

I'm so jealous

LOL. I live in Canada we don't have slimming world but I look at the website and I do have a few recipes in a binder I could use but we don't have a lot of the things that you need over here

Ham, Egg, Bean and Chip Bake sounds delicious! i'd love to try that

Oh well, i'll watch you progress all the same

Good Luck Ladies

Still having no success getting my hands on these mint mullers. They must be good as everywheres always sold out!

Another 2 and half pounds off this week. Happy about that!

Hows everyone else doing?

I will find the recipe for the ham, egg and chip bake and put it up on her for you Cat90

Bonnie+J - Dairymilk light philli - no haven't heard that one but it sounds yummy!

LondonGirl88 · 02-08-2012, 04:21 AM

You can order them online from Tesco if you do your shop online? They dont specifically say mint but if you see 'Muller Light Limited Edition Yogurt' and look at the packaging it is the mint choc one.

Bonnie+J · 02-08-2012, 03:07 PM

I thought the mint mullers werent out until the end of feb? cant remember where i read that. Havent seen them either, but think they will be so delish!

Doing pretty well here. Found some low syn treats, as i was finding myself clawing at the cupboards in the evenings. curly wurly for 6, snack a jacks for 3.5, 5 jelly beans for 1. I dont use my syns with my meals, so i have them to spend on a small treat in the evenings.

cat90 · 02-08-2012, 08:06 PM

Awww thanks Debsarooni that's nice of you

look forward to getting that. Congrats on another 2.5lbs gone

Elliemar · 02-14-2012, 05:41 AM

I finally got my hands on the mint Muellers yesterday - won them in the raffle

I got over my stall and have now hit 4st 6lb lost - but best of all my BMI has now tipped into the healthy range and for me that's the biggest win of all!

A little tip for you all - google superspeed soup and you'll find the recipe on the ******** website. It's fab, very filling and I can vouch for it's effectiveness. I lost 4lb this week after living on it for 3 days!!

Cat 90 - shout if you want some recipes and we'll see if we can help

Hello, I started slimming world a couple of weeks ago and I am struggling. I am doing extra easy and I stick to my syns allowance and have my a's and b's and all my free and super-free foods but in two weeks I have lots 1lb, just 1lb, my boyfriend who's only difference is his breakfasts and lunches has lost 10lb. He does not deliberately make me feel bad and he says 'don't worry, it's a loss, it's a step in the right direction' but he can't help but be a bit smug about how well he is doing. Why is it not working? I read in the magazine about a girl whose starting and goal weight are the same as mine and she did it in 5 months at this rate it'll take me 5 years. I'm not expecting miracles and although I get my clap and a little encouragement every week, not including those who gain or maintain, I am the smallest loss.

debsarooni · 02-22-2012, 02:08 AM

Another 2lb down and I really don't deserve it.

Saturday night I was just craving wine and chocolate. I ended up eating a whole box of malteasa's and drinking vino. But by some miracle, still lost another 2lb. Im nearly back under 20 stone which is an achievement. Can't wait to hit the 270's and start heading further downwards.

Coats fitting better and I treated myself to some new jeans!

Roo - sorry chick. Im not sure why its not working. It seems to be working okay for me. Steady 2lb a week off since I started. Perhaps you need to up the superfoods???? Hang in a bit longer, maybe your body will just have a huge drop one week and its just getting used to the plan.

Ellie - whats your thoughts on the mint mullers? Im really not that impressed. Thought they would be a lot nicer. Maybe its just me . . .

Ham, bean and chip bake - Cat

Make some slimming world chips from about 3 good sized potatoes. Part boil and put in oven with frylight for about 15 mins. Take out and then add in a can of beans, can of chopped tomatoes, can of chopped ham - I used ye old oak (jelly all scrapped off) and finally bang in some mushrooms.

Mix up everything, return to oven and bake a further 15 mins. Pull out, make some wells, crack in 3 or 4 eggs and return to oven for about another 8 mins or until eggs set.

It is scrummy!!!!!!

Can also vouch that the chicken casserole in this months mag is delicious too!

Hows everyone elses week been?
