Hi everyone. newbie alert! I'll be joining class Wednesday. I have a gallbladder issue, so will be looking to do a low/dairy free, possibly gluten free version of the plan with limited red meat- has anyone ever had success with slimming world with a gallbladder issue ? Thank you

Areas

I'm not sure about gallbladder but there was a woman in my class who did the plan dairy free and gluten free. It took her a while to adjust to the plan. It just involved going through the book and pinpointing what she could have and once she got in to a routine she was very successful and reached target. The consultant should be able to help you with your choices and there should be some articles to read on the website once you get your log on details.
Good luck and let us know how you're getting on!

Probably not the same gallbladder condition, but I had gallstones, which flared up when I started losing weight (was unaware of them at the start). I lost 3 stone, and then had my gallbladder removed - I have lost another 1.5 stone since.
There was a vegan in my class who seemed to be doing well on the plan, and I have a friend who is vegan who lost 1.5 stone using Slimming World.

I forgot to say how i got on last night. I was half a pound up and not impressed! I stayed 100% on plan all week. Even when I went to a double 60th on Saturday. I stayed away from the buffet and only had diet 7up all night. On Sunday when everyone around me was eating cake and chocolate I had a salad and apples! I went to the gym 5 times last week as well. I'm going to stick with it 100% this week as well as I know myself that sometimes the hard work might not show until the week after.

I was down 1lb this morning. Probably as much as I could expect whilst following my own version of the plan!!! I’m going to try and put in a good couple of on plan weeks- I feel that if I started to see results myself it would motivate me a lot more!

Measure your portions too. That's where many people make errors. Don't eat too little either.

Areas

You're right spurious, for a few weeks there I definitely wasn't eating enough. I think that's why I've hit a bit of a lull. Not eating enough of my speed food. Just eating my HExs and a load of free (pasta) and P foods. I need to fill my plate more with speed foods. My portions were tiny as well.
I've been very tired a lot of the time and I think it's come down to not having enough of the right foods. I'm "on plan" syns wise but not on plan when it comes to eating the right about of speed foods.

Hey what's on plan at Nandos?

https://fatgirlskinny.net/nandos-syn-values/

Since when is Chicken Butterfly plain with no skin 3.5 syns? It used to be 0 afaik.

Me and herself go out for dinner on a Wednesday (we don't live together yet). We always goes with chicken butterfly and two spicy rice and we harbour a bag of spinach in. The salad in Nandos is brutal.

Also... does anyone in here happen to do SW in D12 or D8 by any chance?

sumsar

First weigh in after joining last week and I'm down 6lbs, which puts me at 15st 8.

I'm hoping that loss will help keep me motivated and determined, basically aim to do the same again this week and hope no slip ups.. all with the expectations that the first week is an outlier and the next week's are 1 or 2lbs (hopefully).

Anyways, fingers crossed I'm on the right path and all that jazz.

Well done sumsar!

I did slimming world last year and reached target after consistent losses every week. I ate more than Id ever eaten previously. I really think what worked for me was having my 1/3 speed with pretty much every meal. I usually had 10 to 15 syns a day as well,unless i was saving for the weekenf☺ It took a while to get into it but by the end of the second week it just became habit and I still find myself putting my speed on my plate first and then my free foods. Free is good but free plus speed is great!

How did you get on?

It's amazing the difference a good class can make.
I tried out a few before the one I am in now & they were soooooo boring it was a chore to stay for image therapy. The one I'm in now is great craic, so much so that even though my job is relocating a few min away from the previous classes, I will travel the 20+ min to stay where I am!

I loved the new group last night! The biggest game changer was the new cheese she recommended to me. She said you can find it in tesco and you can have 70g of it as your HEXA and also a low fat sausage you can get in Aldi. It's just small things like that and less of the people asking "Can I have 20 apples a day".

What is this cheese?!?! And sausage? I like tips like these!

I'm thinking of changing my group, my consultant is lovely but I just don't find the same friendliness and group feel as it had before. Plus there are some people who just talk over everyone else. Plus there is a group jist across the road from my work now instead of a trek across town. Will see, I go on holiday this week so will decide when I get back, maybe try out the other first.

My group is great. Really makes a difference when you have a leader who is tuned in. Often find mysrlf thinking of what treats i will have after weigh in. She always says dint go mad after wrigh in as it will affect next weejs wrigh in. She is right. Down 2.5lbs last night

Areas

The cheese is Eatlean Protein Cheese. She said you can find it in the fridges in Tesco (maybe other shops have it as well) near all the body building stuff (egg whites in a bottle and all that). You can get it in block form or grated form. There's also a spreadable version.

Eatlean Protein Cheese (25g) 2 syns
Eatlean Protein Cheese (70g) hexA or 6 syns
Eatlean Grated Protein Cheese (25g) 2 syns
Eatlean Grated Protein Cheese (70g) hexA or 6 syns
Eatlean Spreadable Protein Cheese (25g) 1½ syns
Eatlean Spreadable Protein Cheese (90g) hexA or 6 syns

The sausages are the Aldi Brannans low fat sausages. They come in a pack of 6 and they are half a syn each.

She also showed us the Vienetta on a stick from Iceland that are 3 syns each.

Delighted you're getting on so well with the new group. I think I must be a bit spoiled with my group as I really find the leader and others in the group so helpful.

On sausages, Dunne's do a brand called Loughnane's which are only 1 syn per sausage. They're really lovely.

Areas

They're lovely sausages! I like to buy them in bulk, split them in to portions of 2 and then freeze them ready for my Saturday morning fry. Most Saturdays I'll have sausages, eggs, beans, toast (hexb), bacon medallions and if I have it in boiled boxty from Iceland. the only syns I'd use would be for the sausages and if I had it, ketchup.

Ye it's Whelans white pudding

AFAIK the dublin meat company deliver, so even if its not local, you could do a meat order if you've room in your freezer and work through it gradually. Their Tex Mex Turkey burgers are super lean too, I think they're 154cals each, I dont even syn them but you probably should. They're €5 for a pack of 4, so super cost effective dinner option.

I'd love to do this myself but our freezer is always full

I need one of those large press freezers really but don't have the space!

Areas

I can't see the 2 syn pudding. There's one White Protein pudding but when I put it in to the syn calculator under pork it's coming out at 6.5 syns.

Should you be putting it in as pork though? Is it not made of chickpeas?

Areas

Oh right, didn't think of that. This is why I'm not allowed near the syn calculator!
