thanx for the welcome xxx🙂

twinkle, well done, are you following a diet? i'm with SW but change it to fit in with my diabetes xxx

Welcome and well done to eat2live and twinkle.

I am also with Slimming World and 1.5lbs off being at target. Currently have lost 3st 9.5lbs since Feb 2010. I also adapt the plans to fit in with diabetes, ulcers and diverticular disease so have a quiet laugh when people ask me if I want to be a consultant - no way could I advise anyone as I have never followed any of the plans!!!

But whatever I am doing, it is working for me.

thanx for the welcome xxx🙂

Hiya, I'm not following any plan at the moment, although I've a feeling in the future I may need something more structured. I resent paying money to any class yet! I've just minimised my two lifelong loves - bread and potatoes and have literally cut out all 'rubbish'. I tend to be better when I give myself hard and fast rules - i.e. I won't eat crisps/sweets (have never had a sweet tooth fortunately). People wonder why I don't 'treat' myself but I'm not suffering or miserable with what I'm doing so am going to continue for the time being. I'm a competitive and stubborn b*gger so determined to be the star pupil for my GP and DSN! I literally visualise a pie/cake/choc bar and ask myself if I want to eat that, or do I want to lose a lb this week and the weight loss wins!

Having said that, I'm less than a couple of months in and am sure I'm going to rebel at some stage....!

What sort of dinners do you have on the SW diet? What irritates me is all the 'fancy' stuff on a bed of this or that, I just want to knock something up for the whole family after work but recipes always seem to call for obscure ingredients and too much time!

Hi Twinkle

well today i have had, 2 weetabix with half water and a little milk with canderel sweetner, the weetabix has no effect on my BS,

lunch, was a salad sadwich, made with 2 slices of a small wholemeal brown loaf

dinner was, chicken fried in frylight with onions and mushrooms, and stirfry veg, Hubby had new pots with his but i just had more veg,

for snacks, 1 mullerlight yogurt, 1 small orange and later another orange with my sugar free jelly, and a bag of mini cheddars,
only used 7syns, allowed from 5-15.

another meal is...very lean minced meat ie: beef, turkey,
dry fry, add peppers, soy sauce and . a little gravey or passata,

i buy frozen veg in the steam bags, cos i'm lazy lol

sometimes i have a few new pots,

and some days i have a big plate of salad and dont need the bread,

all the food at SW is everyday food, and can be incorperated wth family meals
hope this helps x

If you mean me then it's mainly exercise. I don't need to lose much so I don't restrict my diet, but I do eat healthily 🙂 If I'm being lazy for a spell then I put on a few pounds so have to try and keep myself motivated!

thanx northerner, i meant all of us, just out of curiosity really,

I've used a few techniques - I swapped out anything high Glycemic Index in my diet for Low (and occasionally Medium) and I used a calorie target of about 1600 cals per day (with a limit of 100g of carbs).

I also brought a pedometer and aimed to be hitting at least 5000 steps per day with a good proportion registering as "aerobic" on the meter (apparently >10mins of >1 step second).

 

[eat2live]

whoo whoo another 2lb loss for me, to add to the total xx
