Hi Lauren Well Done

Super, I found it hard to believe about corned beef too so how many syns is it now? i'm not doing the plan but I like to know these things

[Superwitch]

3.5 syns per 100g on an original day. I am like you, I like to know what is going on. I am intrigued by diets and what works for people.

[hugmequick]

oh dear. Had such a bad day at work yesterday that i headed for the dreaded chocolate cake!!!
It all went bad from the word go! (I work in telesales/call centre for John Lewis Ediinburgh)
Nevermind I am back on track today. Having a red day today. For brekkie had some mackerel with scrambled egg which was absolutely delicious!
For lunch...hmmm...what could I have......I'll find something in the house. And dinner tonight is Haddock. yum yum yum!
Got this months sw mag....some really nice stuff in it this month. Can't wait to try some of them.
Can anyone tell me what the healthy extras are for both A and B because its the one thing that my mum couldn't tell me!
I love being on the sw though although I can't afford to actually join up just now which is a shame. The joys of being a poor poor student!
26lbs to go and i'll be there... COME ON!!! lol
Going shopping with the mother parental unit tonight to asda for some shopping. Any recommendations?
Will more than likely write again later.
Take care chappies!

Bit late but the healthy eating range at asda is good, well the veg stuff anyway.

In the latest sw mag it has low c beer in it I think this meant I had to buy some, so I did.

The HE A choices are milk and cheese and the B choices well there are loads of them. The password for the members site at the mo is lunchbox they may be listed there.

Ok have had a look don't seem to be, you can probably buy the food optimising book on ebay.

[veggie]

Wow just seen a food optimising book on ebay for £16 doesn't cost that much to go one week and join up to get one. Also cheaper ones though (£1 or £2 with two days to go).

[Superwitch]

The prices people are paying for those books is crazy. I have seen them go for £37 on there. It is true that it is cheaper to go to just one meeting and get the book given to you. It isn't like Weight Watchers where they give you a different book every week. I couldn't live without my Food Directory although I have started looking quite a few things up on the net as well.

The Slimming World Magazine is another fantastic thing. You can also order all kinds of recipe books from the magazine.

[Superwitch]

Have been pretty good again today. Weigh in tomorrow and will be a little put out if I have stayed the same again as I really have been good this week. I have been drinking Hi-lights to help with the chocolate cravings. I have eaten scan bran as healthy extras 2 days. I have stuck to my diet even when at the cinema or on a picnic. I have been to the pub and drank only soft drinks. I couldn't have been more angelic if I had tried.

My only downfall this week is that I haven't been to the gym or swimming as the opportunity hasn't been there. Will make more of an effort to go this week.

[Megareth]

Hi,

Does anyone have the password for this week for the slimming world site? It is no longer "lunchbox"...

Hugmequick how are you doing on your macaroni cheese...which makes do you have? I find tesco the best, and HP is sickly...

Also how many tins do you have in a day? lol.

Speak l8tr

[hugmequick]

aww and i wanted to have a look on the site. i haven't had the chance. oh ha ha. if im lucky i have one! Not been good really and i dont know why. I'm back up 2 pounds to 14st and apart from my chocolate block a couple of days back i haven't been bad at all.
I've been exercising on my eliptical runner i have been eating fine and what do i get in return....2 pounds in return!
started today with a chicken omelette which was very yummy, lunch I am about to have soon but will have to look in the freezer. and dinner is sausage, egg, mushroom and turkey rasher. which i am looking forward to i must say.

has anyone else had bad weeks where they are doing everything but still seem to put weight back on??

Hiya Lauren,

I have just had a small piece of choc birthday cake my sisters. I thought I will be okay because I have figured it out....I feel like I am putting weight on when I eat Macaroni cheese and drink diet coke...' I most probably do, but I noticed that the next day when I come off macaroni I feel thinner.

Work this out - I weighed a week ago and was 15st 1lb. I got weighed at my doctors on the thursday which is what 2 days after weighing on my sister's scales...at the docs I was 14st..4lb...I get weighed at my sisters just now and I am 14st 12lb...what is happening...have I lost or gained...it seems have lost is it 3lb...so if I was to weigh at my doctors then would this mean I am 14st 1lb...lol?

But yeh I do notice that it seems to slow down if we just eat macaroni but it is so addictive...I also note that I did not drink enough water when I feel fatter...I read that some people put weight on...but if you have lost then the pattern of loss must continue it halts when you come off it and go on again because you are mixing food which turns to fat in the body like meat and pasta or meat and potato together...

Let me know how you go on...I also note that it is not half a pint of semi skimmed milk but less as it is skimmed that is 1/2 pint allowance.

Best wishes

Gareth

Passwords lemonade then skipping.

Lauren loads of people have weeks where they do the same but the results are different don't worry. It is best to view your weigh loss as a monthly loss as some weeks you will gain for no reason.

Gareth weigh yourself once a week or month at the same day and time your weight does go up and down daily.

We can do this!

[Superwitch]

Last week I was pretty good and stayed the same. This week I have been angelic but only lost 1lb.

I am hoping that if I am really good next week thgen my body will catch up with my good eating habits - lol.

I am definitely going to try even harder this week and have less green days as I think I am ODing on Pasta and Sauce - lol.

[cat90]

Gareth, Only get weighed on one scale use the same one every time or it will drive you I have 3 and don't weigh the same on any of them it sounds like your sisters scale is not accurate i'm sure the one at the doc's will be more accurate than that one. You could try weighing a 20lb bag of spuds on it or something to test it
