I'm following the Slimming World regime.
All About Sliming World What Is Slimming World Food Optimising? The diet claims that with Food Optimising, you lose weight without hunger. At the beginning of each day the dieter decides if they will be on a green or original day. The system is based on green days having unlimited carbohydrate and limited protein. On a original day the dieters can have unlimited protein and small amounts of carbohydrate. All vegetables are free on Green days, on Red days all are free except potato and similar root veggies. All fruit is free on both Green and Red days. On a red day 2 selections of a dairy and a fibre have to be eaten. these inclue for example 2 slices of wholemeal bread, and a pint of skimmed milk, brown rice and laughing cow chees triangles. On a green day the fibre selection is changed into a protein one. The Diet has sins which the dieter can have between 5-15 a day. Sins are Slimming World's effective alternative to calorie and fat counting or WW points. Sins are designed to make sure you can have a small amount of your favorite foods every day. All food that isn't Free has a Sin value. How Does It Work? Food Optimising takes account of a food's energy density, its health-giving properties, its ability to satisfy the appetite quickly and its ability to keep us feeling full longer. Using these principles, Food Optimising creates an energy (calorie) deficit which causes the body to draw on its own stores of body fat and convert this to energy. With a sin limit on all high fat or sugary foods this keeps down dierters intake of calories and situated fat. How Much Weight Do You Lose? A steady weight loss of 1 to 2lbs per week is recommended by the government health guidelines however people with a lot of weight to lose may have more rapid weight losses in the first few weeks. Are There Any Possible Side Effects? Because of the unlimited food some dieters found what when they eventually came off the diet they were accustomed to eating large amounts food. Consequently they put weight back on rapidly if they didn't stick to the diet. Apart from this no other side effects were noted. I know it sounds complicated but it isn't it just I'm terrible at explaining. Nicki:D |

Hey everyone.
My calories yesterday were way to low. I'm supposed to be getting in between 1900-2100/day. Yesterday I ate all healthy food but only made 1300 calories due to a lack of food in the house. I went grocery shopping last night though so I am now on target for the rest of the week. Here is my food plan for today (Tuesday) in SK: B: whole wheat cereal w/ skim milk w/ banana and 190mL of orange juice S: Dr. You protein bar L: Tomato salad, lemon and garlic dressing, yogurt, grapes, Dr. You fiber crackers S: Dr. You Fruit and Nut bar D: Stir Fry beef with VEGGIES!! Roughly 1750calories. |
Hey everyone! Well I didn't do bad today with food, but I didn't do too good either. I previously have counted calories, but have now decided to give weight watchers points a try (but I am not actually joining WW, just doing it on my own). I am supposed to have 24 pts per day (when I counted calories my range was 1200-1500).
Breakfast: 2 bananas: 4 pts (210 cal) Snack: Gummi Butterflies: 2 pts (120 cal) Lunch: 2 Betty Crocker Cinnamon Streusal Muffins: 8 pts (420 cal) White Cheddar Cheez-its: 3 pts (150 cal) Dinner: Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya: 12 pts (520 cal) Total: 29 pts (1420 cal) So I went 5 pts over, but when I look at my calories I'm within range. As for exercise, we just got an elliptical for $20 from my Aunt. This morning I did 15 minutes on it and burned approx. 177 calories. I'm planning on doing another 15-20 minutes tonight before going to bed. Hope everyone had a good day! |
zoochick777 - :welcome: I wish I could get my calories down to 1420, I think you did a good job!
shan84 - You could say you were really calorie cycle. :D I need to buy some food as well! Good Job! |
Awesome exercise day today (to make up for the lack over the weekend)
20 minutes running 75 minutes walking Total steps 20,0082 |

Just wanted to share something with everyone. I went for a hike up the mountain tonight with one of my co-teachers. We hiked to the top in about 1 hr and another 30 min coming down. I can't believe I did it! It is such a great step in the right direction for me! I'm so happy.
GO RED TEAM!!!! |
Okay, so here is the plan for today.
Breakfast - 1c Total Cinnamon Crunch, 1c 2% milk - 310 calories Morning Snack - apple - 80 calories Lunch - French Bread Pizza & yogurt - 430 calories Dinner - Chicken Soup & wheat thins- 446 calories Total - 1266 calories Exercise - 50 minutes walking Since I didn't do any exercise yesterday, I am going to walk 60 minutes today instead of my usual 40. That way it will only take me a couple of days to catch up. |

Today
Good Morning RED Team,
Breakfast 210 3 hard bolied eggs 80 1 slice of toast 100 1 tbsp of butter Total calories 390 Snack 70 boiled eggs Total calories 70 Lunch 400 Chicken with Brown rice and onions 52 1 cup of tea with sugar Total calories 452 Snack 60 1 apple Total calories 60 Exercise 3 sessions of 45 minutes on the stationary :ebike: bike at high intensity. |
MrsVegan00 - What do you do? I read that you said graveyard shift. No worries I think weekends are hard on all of us.
MonteCristo - Great job today! shan84 - Sounds like you had a great time. One more hour until I get to see TBL on TV, I am so excited! |
Shan- great job on the hike. How long have you been in SK? I lived in Japan for 2 years. It was a great experience.
Today I walked 11,733 steps, but none counted as aerobic (oh well)...Tomorrow is another day. |
Hey Mel. Good job on the steps. Thats such a high number! I'm loving SK. I actually live on an island off of the southern tip of SK. It's about an hour to the mainland by ferry. My weeks are pretty repetitive but I like having the routine. I teach M-F 8:30am-5:00pm and I spend the weekends relaxing and exploring the island. I live right on the beach so that was a big draw originally too. I actually came to SK 7 months ago, but lost my first job when the school closed. I've been with this job now for 3 months almost.
Sorry for the long answer. :) GO RED TEAM!!!!! |
Well I didn't do too good today at all. Breakfast started out okay. I had 1 banana (2 pts), and 1 90 calorie strawberry bar (1 pt). I had to eat an early lunch today, at 10 am, and had Subway. I ate a 6" turkey breast sandwich on wheat with american cheese (5 pts), but I also had 1.5 chocolate chip cookies with it (8 pts.). I then got hungry around 3 and my boyfriend ended up getting Taco Bell so I had a Nacho Belle Grande with just meat and cheese (17 PTS!). That was my biggest mistake with food today. Then while watching the biggest loser I had some baked fries and one homemade taco (not sure the points on this one). The other bad thing is when I went to exercise we realized that something came loose inside the elliptical so I can't use it until my dad fixes it. I ended up spending some much needed time on homework instead of exercising. The only good thing about today is I drank plenty of water.
I WILL be better tomorrow! |
I was at about 2025 for calories on Monday, and then was at 1835 yesterday. Not too bad.

Good Morning RED Team,
Breakfast 210 3 hard bolied eggs 52 1 cup of tea with sugar Total calories 262 Snack 60 1 apple Total calories 60 Lunch 400 Chicken with Brown rice and onions & mixed veggies 52 1 cup of tea with sugar Total calories 452 Snack 60 1 apple Total calories 60 Dinner 350 Egg salad 160 2 slices of bread 52 1 cup of tea with sugar Total calories 562 Exercise 3 sessions of 45 minutes on the stationary bike at high intensity. |

Just in case anyone hasn't figured it out, I'm posing my plan in italics, and then I come back and bold what I actually did.
Early Breakfast - 1c Total Cinnamon & 1c 2% milk - 310 calories Late Breakfast - sausage biscuit with jam - 333 calories Morning Snack - 1 slice coconut cake - 456 calories Lunch - Macaroni & Cheese and 1/2 sweet potato - 316 calories Dinner - 1 slice stuffed crust pizza - 380 calories Total - 1795 calories Exercise - 55 minutes walking That is horrible! I can hardly bear to post it. I knew today was going to be bad with the cake at work and pizza for dinner, so I ate a bit lighter the last two days, but why did I eat a second breakfast?!?!? Ugh! Fortunately I am still under my average of 1500 per day, but I'm still not happy with myself. |
Hello everyone. Today was a much better day as far as food goes. I even woke up to a 1 lb loss, even with the bad stuff I ate yesterday! I've decided that the strategy I'm going to use for this challenge is a mixture of WW points and counting calories. When I go by points throughout the day I tend to eat less. But I have been going over by about 4 pts per day, but still staying in my calorie range. Here is what I ate today:
Breakfast: 1 packet of High Fiber Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal -- 3 pts (160 cal) Snack: 2 servings Chocolate flavored mini-rice cakes -- 2 pts (120 cal) 1/2 Dill pickle -- 0 pts (0 cal) Lunch: 1 Lean Pocket Pepperoni Pizza -- 6 pts (280 cal) 1 serving White Cheddar Cheez-its -- 3 pts (150 cal) 1/2 serving roasted n salted cashews -- 2 pts (80 cal) Dinner: 1 McDonalds Chipolte BBQ Crispy Chicken Wrap (was supposed to be grilled but they got my order wrong) -- 8 pts (330 cal) 1 McDonalds Fruit and Walnut Salad -- 4 pts (210 cal) Totals: 28 pts; 1330 calories |
It was a day off from work for me so I got a lot of walking in.
7200 Aerobic steps (67 min walking) total steps 20256 I've consumed ~1410 calories today |
Today
Breakfast - 1c total cinnamon crunch, 1c 2% milk - 310 calories Morning Snack - apple - 80 calories Lunch - french bread pizza, yogurt - 430 calories Dinner - Chicken Potato casserole - 337 calories Total - 1157 calories Exercise - 40 minutes |
Thursday here in SK was good for me. I did a 15 minute exercise video at work in our auditorium because we didn't have classes today and I was slightly bored.
Breakfast, Snacks, and Lunch only came to 900 calories. SO I allowed myself to go out to dinner with my coteachers for some Korean food. Had salad/grass type stuff, pork loin, kimchi, lettuce leaves, and only 6 oz beer and a few shots of soju. Regardless, I did still stay under my 2100 calorie limit. I did get all my water intake in today because after dinner we went to a local bar, and instead of drinking more alcohol I just had two glasses of water. Anyways, hope everyone has a great Thursday wherever you are. Its almost Friday here! I start teaching a "mommy and me" class tomorrow for Korean parents and their younger children. Should be a fun trial run tomorrow with one class in the morning. GO RED TEAM GO!!!! |
