Hi hun well done on your loss
Sw is great haha I love it! I am in it for the long haul so I am going to concentrate on myself! I want to get married finally instead of putting it off because of being embarrassed of what people will think of me, now is my time Hehe
Have you made a food diary? I am going to edit my posts to make it more clear of the super free foods I am eating at dinner time
Thank you for the sub, I am hoping after a little while I will have some different foods in here lol got loads of recipes that my friend brought around for me from when she was on Sw, exciting haha

I keep my paper one to it helps me writing it down and then I put it on here after, that way I don't forget haha
I will keep you posted on the new meals I make, I love cooking and luckily have my slow cooker so if I have extra veggies left over I can throw them in there with oxo cubes and some herbs etc, I hate waste lol but I told my partner that I will look for recipes that have the same sort of ingredients so I can cook 2 different meals
I know I will be making a chicken and veg curry very soon, its a family recipe, its a dry curry I guess you could say, so no yoghurt etc going in, I prefer it that way, hmm thinking about it is making my mouth water haha
I haven't made it yet because you need a tsp of salt in it and I was worried incase it affected my weight loss or something lol
Right I think I should go to bed, he is sleeping on the sofa and his snoring is driving me crazy lol the usual routine after he has had dinner haha
Good night

I think the only thing with salt is, it might make you retain a bit more water? If you are unsure, just check with your consultant!

 

[NotsofattyPatty]

As far as I'm aware, SW doesn't worry much about salt - there is no recommendation that you pick reduced salt products and many of the staples (baked beans, stock cubes etc) are available in reduced salt versions. As you are encouraged to cook from scratch and many salty things are limited by being Synned, such as nuts, crisps etc, you are probably having much less salt than you did pre-SW and we do need a little. I use low salt stock products most of the time and I never add salt at the table or when I'm cooking, but I don't worry about it otherwise - and I have to be careful because I have (controlled by medication) high blood pressure which is much improved since I started SW much to my GP's relief!

When i started SW my mum and sister both wanted to follow the plan but not go to class. So cooking etc was left all to me and i got really annoyed. They would still have lots crisps/chocolate/biscuits etc so way over the syn allowance. I have now given up on them and am doing it by myself. They keep getting take aways and it is getting harder to stick to plan so be grateful your not living with your sis.
All the best for the week ahead..xx

Good that you got back on it after the kebab disaster! Some takeaways are better than others, like some Indian options with plain rice and tomatoey sauce.

Lol at the 'burgers are allowed so doughnuts must be fine too!' Interesting take on it!

I didn't think of Indian! would have preferred it tbh, wish I had just stuck 2 fingers up at my partner and chopped up some fruit and told him to sod off and sort his own dinner out! but me being me...

My step son cracks me up! bless him! love him to pieces but he is always trying to feed me haha he is 19 but is a bit younger for his age so some things he doesn't understand fully, now he is home he wants the same food as us, but he is wearing size 28-30 inch waist jeans, super skinny and tall so told him he has no hope, last thing he needs is to lose weight! so he is going to be having regular burgers when I make ours, plus his usual favourites pizza curry etc

Your step son sounds lovely! I hope you can enjoy having him around! x
