I tucked into a seriously delicious roast beef on Sunday — fat cut off, of course — and counted Syns for the gravy, oil for the veggies and roasties oh, and a glass of red. I felt v happy!
Why I Stopped Following Slimming World - WitWitWoo
Where are my carbs? Wine woes I now realise that wine is my weakness. I do like a drizzle of olive oil on a salad or in my cooking or butter on my toast. I made supper early — a big bowl of pasta, topped with my cheese allowance, which happily cheered me up. I do feel less bloated around the middle and I hope this translates to a loss. The woman in front of me was pretty disappointed with her result and she looked gutted. I took my shoes off and anything else I could decently and stood on the scales.
There was a lot of clapping, by way of support. The common themes this week were cake and alcohol… people had had a lot of it. I realised the recipes are going to be a key part of the Slimming World plan and they really do help you feel happy. We also chatted a lot about the best value places to buy fruit, veg and meat these are all pretty much free foods on the Slimming World Extra Easy plan.
Any tips on budgeting is brilliant for those of us feeding the five thousand. Bacon — happy days! A BLT, even with my skinny bread, is amazing for diet food. TIP Mix some chopped tomatoes into baked beans to make them more tomatoey and add a good few splashes of Worcestshire sauce. Poach or microwave an egg and put in a ramekin, then top with grilled bacon and the heated saucey beans.
Are Group Leaders Trained?
Slimming World curry! Yes — you read that right. I got the Slimming World Fake Away book and there are so many delicious ones to try. Try this Slimming World chicken and potato curry for starters. My energy levels are also much better at the end of the day which equals feeling much less ravenous and ratty when I get in from collecting the kids.

I bought these after I lost weight in , so I felt chuffed to be wearing them again this summer. A few more pounds and I can lose the baggy cardigan!
Measurements I forgot to do mine. Will dig out the tape measure and scribble them in my book. Getting a tad bored of cottage cheese and celery sticks… need to try some of those heathy veg crisps using my new favourite staple Fry Light.
Slimming World
Anyone got any other good snacks? Next week I will start working through these low-calorie snack ideas. Lightweight The girls in the office think this statement is funny… but in the last 2 weeks the diet has made me such a lightweight! I got a text from Slimming World Gemma on Friday eve I think she remembered this was a tough diet time for me.
And it did give me a boost. Although, I did walk to school with the kids and we went for a big walk in the woods. Losing even a few pounds has made me feel more up for the exercise. Looking at joining a local yoga class. I stayed. I just felt slightly disappointed not to lose more. The other topic this week was the dreaded TOTM for us women. This might have kicked off the massive chat about chocolate and sweet treats. I might look for some low cal bakes to make for me and the kids this week. Read more: 25 lower-fat cake recipes to try.
Again budgeting was still a hot topic and we shared a lot of savvy supermarket shopping tips… online shopping seems to be the best idea as you can avoid temptation and overall make a saving. One woman who worked on a checkout laughed at how a woman came in for a pack of chicken and left spending quid, but forgot the chicken — sound familiar?
So no weigh in this Tuesday, but I will be using the online restaurant tool to check my Slimming World Syns. One bloke had been on an all-inclusive to the Caribbean and managed to put on 7lbs… he was back on it this week though, still smiling!
Food Optimising Plan
So to keep myself in the game I will write everything down — good, bad or ugly. There are plenty of tasty fish and shellfish dishes to enjoy and I had an amazing rib-eye steak at the Mariners in Rock — and I ordered it with no chips this is a first for me. I did enjoy a bit of illegal bearnaise, though. Love her. Picnics Missing a few of my favourite treats… Kids and DH are tucking into cake and crisps, and I am being v strong.
Not quite the same…. Pastry Pasties are just too many syns! I do need to save a few for my holiday wine… cheers! The second part of the holiday went uphill in enjoyment nice meals out of the house!! My friend Helen came this week to group. We both stayed and joined in the chat. Everyone is getting so busy with weddings and parties, so there was more chat about reaching personal Slimming World targets. Mine is 25lbs. So 8 down….
Why I Stopped Following Slimming World
My lovely girl turned three on Sunday and we had a house full of family and friends. Car picnic I kept on plan on the long car journey down to Cornwall by stocking up on sushi and edamame from Waitrose. It really filled me up and I forgot how much the kids like those edamame beans in the pods. Pricey, but worth it. Glowing Getting out in the fresh air this week has given me a healthy boost. Dresses So I mentioned I wanted to wear summer frocks this year and that is exactly what I did this week. The healthy choices are paying off and just getting off those few pounds has made all the difference to how confident I feel.
I even wore my cozzie in the pool! Supermarket sweep New in my shopping basket this week are Syn-free Mug Shot Soups for a handy fill-a-hole snack. Dinner date-night Not a social life low, but it should count as a diet low as I well and truly ditched it! Me and the DH had a delicious three-course dinner at Watergate Bay starting with this whipped butter with sea salt, slathered over my illegal crusty rye sourdough — saying no to good bread and butter is sooo much harder for me than cake!
The kids were safely tucked up in the kids zone for the evening and I enjoyed every mouthful! I will get back on track this week — my goal is to lose 2lbs. Too many fun things in the calendar! Will report back — lycra, me… well possibly!
My friend Helen reached target this week. She got a lovely shiny sticker and target badge. I love this pic of her 12 Syn cuppa and bowl of treats. Just 6 Syns and they seem to last a long time.
Go us! Go glam, girl! Putting on my VE Day party clothes was so much more fun without the extra weight on my tummy. Shirt dress, heels and victory rolls in my hair.
