while she didn't have 4 pieces of fruit with everything, she made sure she had superfree with everything
even her syns like chocolate bars
I think if I were to do that, it would encourage me not to eat so much chocolate etc
sounds like a good plan
I lost half a pound last night
it's a loss I know, but I'm a bit gutted, I was so close to the one stone award.
My boyfriend is being very supportive though, senses my disappointment, we are going to play some more badminton this weekend and cook a lot of meals.
so much better than the weekends where he has pizza and I have a veggie stir fry!0 -

Thanks, definitely keeping my motivation high to get it next week
Thing is, I really enjoy healthy meals and stir fries. It's just when I was sitting next to a giant cheesey doughy pizza do I actually miss it and feel like im missing out
Plan to eat a lot more super free veg this week. Want to make a roasted beetroot side dish and maybe extra greens in stir fries.
Also tried the cauliflower rice, was quite nice but I feel I need to have it with a saucy dish, might use it with mushy pea curry 0 -

What is the recipe for superfree soup??
Am I missing something cos lookinf through the list of SF foods they all seem like stuff I'd never eat!! let alone find in the supermarket
My recipe is
Onion large
Carrots
Parsnips
Butternut squash
Sweet potatoe
Potatoe
Mushrooms + peppers there optional
Passata
Tin of tomatoes
2 veg oxo stock cubes
Ginger + garlic
Plus mixed herbs
I fry onions then add all the veg in. Fill up with water till all veg covered then add tin of tomatoes and passata. Then crumble stock cubes n herbs. Bring to boil, simmer till veg cooked and then blend.
Last night I only had onions, small but of pepper n mushrooms left in press so fried them. Added 2 Tins of tomatoes n a carton of passata. Boiled for 30 min then blend. Had to add some water as very thick.
I've heard people in class just getting bag of mixed veg and putting it in water till it covered few stock cubes and blending.
I also make potatoe and leek which is onions, 3 leeks 6 medium potatoes, fill with water. Some veg stock cubes and cook till mushy then blend. Only downside is it's more free them Super free so you have to add some fruit or veg to meal.
But having a potatoe In soup thickens it and it fills you more so I usually throw in a couple into most soup.

The best bit of advice I can give is take it day by day and if you have a naughty day and lose the run of yourself, don't let it ruin your whole week, get back on the saddle and don't dwell on it. Its worked for me and for over 3 months every week I've had a loss.
I went through a really bad stage where I was losing the run of my bad days, then almost starving myself to make up for it. of course, some weeks I lost, but others I gained and it just wasn't working
Late, I've started doing exactly what you've said, having the occasional naughty meal, snack etc, and moving out. That was about 6 weeks ago, and I've been losing every week since then. Some weeks smaller than others, but still losing
it also makes it easier to keep going as a lifestyle when you treat it like this
well done on the 2.5 stone! I'm definitely hoping for my 1 stone award next week

just joined up yesterday and kicked off the food plan this morning having my usual bowl of grapefruit and boiled egg but just realised the grapefruit is probably canned (from canteen in work) and canned fruit is not superfree :mad: wouldnt mind I was going to have porridge but it was like water!
how many syns should i give for a standard ceral bowl loaded with canned grapefruit?!
don't worry too much, grapefruit in it's own juice is only about 1.5-2 syns depending on the brand
you're still well on track for the day 0 -

Tonight my mam said lets get curry as we cleaning house for Xmas. I was like no went and made spag Bol it was lovely. Even made 1/2 syn cake for after (not great but was something) then my brother came down with cakes his fiancé had made. Ended up eating chocolate cupcake it was smallest one there. But there is a 1/3 of a caramel cake left that's calling my name :-( I've 3 days to make up for last two days so fingers crossed I can
You sound like you coped very well
Don't beat yourself up, it's difficult to keep refusing when being offered bad food.
Is the cake yours? Sometimes I throw out food to stop the temptation! Not great but I need to sometimes0 -

No cake was between me and my Ma so thankfully she scoffed it. Was bold yest and had chips in bray but it was it sit down place so not full bag of chips and had lovely plain hake. Enjoyed it but worrying again about weigh in.

Breakfast 2 weetabix with banana n few manadrins
Snack muller fat free Greek yogurt 1/2syn with manadrins n apple
Lunch soup either potatoe n leek or a tomatoe n veg. With 2 slices Dunnes store better for u bread 5 syns
Snack apple or pear n manadrins
Dinner usually pasta with loads of super free sauce. Not to much pasta tho and either less then 5% fat mince or plain cod.
Some nights chips with slender choice sausages n a salad.
Snack another yoghurt n fruit.
I did eat chocolate birthday cake, steak with pepper sauce, potatoes n veg with garlic oil. I also had couple of low fat crisps n some low fat chocolate maybe 2 bars.
I'm the same as Emma I need to be prepared, I failed last time as I didn't prepare enough. N made bad choices instead
Thanks for that, need to sit down at the weekend and plan my meals for next week. I've my Christmas party this weekend and the afters of a wedding so that's going to be challenging. Had a look at the menu so going to see what the best option is.
It's an Italian restaurant. How does this sound:
Starters: Minestrone Soup
Mains: Salmon and Prawn and Skewers with Rice
Dessert: Going to skip it !!!!!
Drinks: Will probably have 1 or two glasses of wine and then go on to a spirit with diet mixer.0 -
I might be a bit late with this, but please try not get too disheartened. I know that's sometimes easier said than done, but just forget that. Every scales is different, and you won't know exactly how you have done unless you stand on the SW scales, as thats the one that's been monitoring you. If you just forget about boots, and try to get to a class tonight or tomorrow, it'll help get you back on track. try not to let it upset you too much.Girls I weighed myself in boots this morning and discovered I had put the 2 lbs back on that I lost.... Sickened is not the word. Couldn't face group tonight. Don't really know where to go from here
I've done the super speedy soup. It's yum, but I can't face putting baked beans in it so I put a tin of mixed beans in, instead! Also, I saw someone mention they put parsnips and potato in their soup, as these are not superfree I'd avoid these as much as possible in your soup. although they are tasty!
I have my weigh in tonight. I did the scan-bran challenge the week before last and ended up going up an 1/5 lb last wednesday so by god it better be gone tonight! I also haven't had the best of weeks as I am on holidays so fingers crossed I can even get that 1/5 lb back off, and I'll be happy with that!0 -

I lost a pound this week, so I got my half stone :-)
ah I'm so happy, really motivated to keep my behaviour at it's best :-p
well done on the half stone! the stickers have begun
to anyone weighing at home, please don't take it for granted
all scales are different
the point of slimming world meetings is to get a consistent weigh in from the same scales at the same time of the day once a week0 -
That happened to me far too often - and I'd end up eating stuff I didn't want with the excuse there was nothing else available. Now I always make sure I have a banana, an aldi less than 70 cals muesli bar and a satsuma in the car - pull into a garage for a packet of ham and I can eat all of it for less than the cals in 2 plain bits of white bread. And now I've made the change I've done it when at a hotel conference, instead of the bar meals I went out for a walk and had my lunch outside. OK so it's not exciting eating but really only ever 8 hours away from the next meal at most & I've decided I want the weight loss more than the food.(If you like tinned fish it's a great one to keep in the car as well)Not a great week, had to work sat we had an emergency, so bad food day, drive to kk sun morning crisps and chocoate and white bread!!!!

morning
how was everyone's weekend? Mine wasn't sooo bad
my week was better than expected, I had my friends graduation on tuesday (elephant and castle chicken wings!) then took my other housemate out to dinner on wednesday to Les Freres Jacques. Oh my god, it was amazing!
4 course meal of deliciousness! while it wasn't the healthiest, it certainly was freshly cooked, proper food, so I actually felt much better eating it. the food in elephant and castle was so salty, I just didn't enjoy it after I got over the initial flavour buzz, I don't think I'd go back to be honest
those were my two worst days, or should I say meals. I made a point of staying on plan as much as possible. lots of gym time, proper breakfasts, bringing in lunch to work, fruit for snacks etc.
I got quite ill over the week and had to be put on steroids, not impressed at all
but feeling better now, and confined myself to the pool/sauna to stop myself having the temptation to eat (steroids always make me feel ravenous!)
so I'm hoping the work I put in this week will show by a maintain or even better a nice wee loss
fingers crossed!0 -
