Newbie about to try Slimming World!

[Katie84]

Awww thanks, it was actually a bloke who recommended me to SW then i found out a friend had done it too and lost loads of weight, so just cant wait to see those lbs dropping off

 

[beth 27]

Hi i am new to here and i have about 2 and a hlaf stone to lose and am trying slimming world for the first time this has been my menu for the day so far can anyone tell me whether i appear to be on the right track!!!

breakfast- 2 pieces of nimble wholmeal toast (healthy extra) and margarine 1 sparkling water and one black coffee

one black coffee one glass of water mid morning

lunch- 2 small potatoes and red onion , avocado and one tomato

i am on green day one glass of small wine whihc i have included as 4.5 syns

 

[flipflop]

Have you counted the syns for margarine hun? I'm pretty sure avocado is synned as well. I bought a load of them the other week to make a kind of bruschetta and looked it up at the time. Sorry x

 

[beth 27]

yeah thanks i have counted the margarine and the avocado was a couple of pieces apart from that does it look like i am on the right track thanks for the quick repsonse how long you been doing it for then does it work pretty quickly then!!

 

[beth 27]

i am also doing it from home too as have been recently made redundant and cant afford to sign on and attend weekly classes!!!! going to do either spag bol or cottage pie for dinner with quorn mince and veggies that should be ok do you think?
xx

 

[flipflop]

Yes, looks fine otherwise. I have my 3rd weigh in tomorrow, lost 8lbs so far. x

 

[flipflop]

Yes, my fave is quorn bolognese with the allowance of cheese on top. I have bean chilli cooking for tea.

 

[beth 27]

thats really good go you!!! i think i have got the idea of it now - its pretty much about not combining carbs with protein isn't it!! which makes sense i guess - any tips for me hun?? xx

Hi Beth, I used to live in Truro! See if you can get the vouchers from your doctor to go to the meeting for that extra bit of support to start you off

Thats about the gist of it although obviously you can mix the two using healthy extras.
