Hey I'm a newbie and just wanted somebody to confirm if I'm on the right track - doing it from home. So today my meal plan was/is:
Breakfast 1 slice of wholemeal bread - toast (HE) with flora light spread and marmalade on - 2 syns?
A Pear mid morning, Lunch was SW veg frittata(eggs, pasta and veg) - free? Will have an apple shortly and I also have a 0% fat shape yoghurt - 0 syns I think? 3 cups of tea with milk over the course of the day (HE) and drinking water otherwise. For dinner I'm planning on chilli con carne - extra lean mince, tinned tomatoes, onions, kidney beans, carrot and mushrooms - all free? No cooking oil used. Was going to save todays syns as I know i'l go over tomorrow!

All sounds good. Esp chili
Only bit to be careful with is flora/marmalade - I know its a pain but try + measure what u use so syns accurate. For hex b - bread. U can have 60g so either 2 slices 400g loaf or if its a 800g normal Sz loaf just cut crusts off 2 slices + weighs 60g (400g loaf too thin for me).

Ask any questions on ur journey and I'll try + help.
I first joined sw sept 2011 and list 2.5st by march 2012 but after lots of stress last summer I'd gone back up to 12st 1 but back on track (11st 12lb at moment) and determined to get to goal of 10st 7lb by may 20th (holiday) x

I'd say a teaspoon of each on my toast is that 1 syn each? Bread was 800g loaf but 1 slice usually does me anyway - need crusts on! That sounds a decent loss you had in 6 months. I don't really have a set goal weight or anything i just want to slim down a bit as sitting at a desk for 10 years has made me a bit chubbier than I'd like. Wondering wether to buy scales and do it properly

Wondering wether to buy scales and do it properly

Rather than scales why not just got off ur measurements than can be more motivating than watching numbers on a scale

 

[Maddysmum]

I'd say a teaspoon of each on my toast is that 1 syn each?

Just checked + 1level tsp flora is 1.5 syns plus marmalade which is 0.5 syns per tsp x

 

[lostfan]

im about right then with the syn amount - plus its flora light lol

Even better
Flora light is 1 syn per level tsp x

Think the 1/2 syn roulade is a good idea if it will satisfy you sugar craving!

Thanks for the SW help but think I'm going to CC with SW principals IYKWIM ... try to cut back on the bread etc and have superfree at meal times

Done it at home + group.
Joined initially 1st sept 2011 + lost 2.5st by march 2012 but then tried to do it at home and lost + gained same lb ova + ova again till admitted defeat and then due to lots of stress didn't do anything till sept 2012 went back to group weighing 12st (gain of 11lb) and within 4wks lost 5lb but then had to stop going again due to being really I'll and put all back on again.
Joined group again 2 wk ago and was 12st 1lb
Determined to keep going to group always (even wen I get to goal) as I think I need that support/focus

Want to be at goal in 16wk as thats wen I go away but as all inclusive hol expecting to put some on but then I'll be straight back on it wen I get back

If u join online or go to group you get as access to lots of extras to slimming world + the new books but in meantime if u need to know anything I'll try to help
