Slimming World - II

Good morning and happy Easter to ye all. Decided I want to start losing weight maybe 2 stone as I've been told by people I used to work with and few others I know have said I've gained weight since I changed jobs which I have. Looking at what's the best way to start with this. Been online looking at ww online and is it worth signing up to the package deals.really determined to do this. Any advice would be much appreciated ðŸ‘

Sorry I don't know much about WW (weight watchers) online? But I think there is a WW thread on here too so people on that may be able to help. SW do online membership too but I haven't tried it, I find I need the group support, really missing it in these times. Best of luck on your slimming journey.

Anyone have a good SW Korma recipe? May as well try to experiment a bit with all these free evenings & weekends

There’s a lovely korma recipe in one of the hairy dieters books. I don’t have it to hand, but google might help you. I’ve made it a few times.

On SW for the first time. I don't need to lose that much. I gained 1/2 a stone from medication I was temporarily on, but the weight literally won't budge now that I am off it. So I started SW. Problem is that I am having terrible stomach pains from the lower fat diet. I have had this before where I get terrible bloating, pain, and trapped wind from cutting down on fat. The thing is the rest of my diet is really healthy. It was very similar to SW anyhow, so the only real change is the reduction in milk (I drank a litre of milk in tea a day before SW and with SW I have literally taken away 700 ml), and healthy fats like avocado and olive oil. It's not an increase in fibre either as my diet was packed full of fruit and veg anyhow, and that has not changed.

Last night I was in so much pain and fruit and boiled eggs wouldn't take it away, so I had toast with butter. Boom. Stomach pain went away, as I knew it would as before the diet fats always took this pain away if I ever randomly got it. Has anyone had this?

I started two weeks ago. Doing it from home obviously have been a member before so know the one and outs.
Had a great first week 10lb down but second week hadn't an ounce off,so disheartened beacuse I hadn't done anything differently but determined to keep back on track.
Is there anyone of Facebook or Instagram that I should be following for good ideas??

I was down 1lb last week and got my Club 10 award. And I am down 2lb this week and get my 2 stone award. I cant wait to get back to normal classes and pick up my awards from my lovely leader in person

Have never suffered from this myself, I can only suggest allowing for some fat intake within your daily syn allowance. If avocado or a little bit of olive oil or butter takes the pain away, it makes sense to include it in your diet and syn it. I realise that I'm assuming you only need a small amount of fat to ease the pain. Maybe talk to your GP about it though?

Back to it. I was in SW in from Oct 2018 - June 2019 and lost nearly 2 stone. It's come creeping back when my group moved times/days and it didn't suit me. Found a new one and back on plan. I feel better - not as groggy or tired. Hoping for 2 pound gone by next week. Upped the running this week so hopefully this works! Few gins this weekend...

Down 1.5lb this week, happy with that. I've lost 12lb since my last official SW group class.

Weighed in on Monday. 4 lbs down that's a full stone down in three weigh ins and a delivery of Boston doughnuts last week.
Made the chicken gyros from Pon and flat bread last night they were so delish. Made a 'salsa' from a tin of chopped Tomatoes and Cajun seasoning was so so delish.

Amazing loss, well done!

Hi is anyone familiar with the new "Vienetta on a stick" icecreams that are now in Aldi - they come in Vanila, Strawberry and Mint - would anyone know the syn values of these coz i dumped the boxes and cant find them anywhere online......i think the Strawberry & Mint are more than the vanilla.....thanks guys

Oh I seen them on Facebook or somewhere I believe the vanilla is 4.5 and strawberry is 5, I'll double check and find out for you.

Well done all.

Yea I love the PON books too. Made the honey garlic chicken last night.

How was the honey garlic chicken? Gonna try the sweet chilli beef from slimming eats tonight. The only good thing about lockdown I feel like I've so much time to try out new recipes, and no rushing in from work or kids out to activities...

It was lovely, we have made it a couple of time now. Plus it's very easy to make.
