Slimming World Weigh In #10

This week I have given in to temptation and been very good too. I really, really fancied a burger so I did. I used my healthy extra a and b on the wholemeal roll and cheese. I had two Birdseye burgers and some lean bacon with a green salad. It was yummy! Each burger is 5 Syns, I squeezed out all the fat and patted on a piece of kitchen roll so maybe a little less? It was my daily Syn allowance but it was worth every bite. That's why I love this plan, I get to eat what I want and still stay on plan. What did I resist? We went out on Sunday for a pub lunch and I had grilled chicken salad, no dressing. It was great, I made up for being extravagant earlier in the week and just enjoyed eating with my family.

How am I doing this week?


I lost 1.5lbs! Absolutely over the moon, so back on plan. I also lost an inch from my waist so doubly happy.

Total Syns this week = 82
Total weight loss = 16lbs


Takeaway fish and chips were on the menu this week. I really fancied some fish shop cod and while OH went to buy them I made Syn free chips for me. I really like Slimming World chips. I took all the batter off my fish and just had a small taste. I did eat all the fish. I am sure it was lots of Syns so I added 10, my days allowance. You could always bake your own fish, no Syns and have homemade burgers with lean mince, no Syns. Then indulge in whatever takes your fancy.
It may seem strange to use a days allowance on takeaway fish or a burger but I am really OK not having crisps, biscuits or cake. I don't have them in the house and if I ate one I would not stop. Total abstinence is best for me. Even sticking to plan I usually just lose a pound a week, I am sure it's my post menopausal hormones.

For lunch one day I needed something quick and I was hungry so I baked a potato in the microwave. A trick I learnt was to wrap the potato in wet kitchen paper, it stops the outside going hard and dry whilst the middle is cooking. When cooked I cut it into quarters and put one Laughing Cow Original triangle cheese on top (half Hexa allowance), then poured hot baked beans on top of the cheese, the cheese melts deliciously underneath, and topped with 20g Feta cheese (half Hexa). Quick, filling and very tasty.

My best recipe of the week is Salmon and Green Beans. It isn't totally Syn free (2 Syns) but is a wonderful way to eat salmon.

  1. Ahh! It's great that you can still eat some of what you like. The burger sounds fantastic and like it was enjoyed. It seems pretty sensible saving up your daily allowance for one big treat. Well done with the weight loss. That is fantastic.

  2. Well done on your loss. I've not thought of using feta on a JP before but I'll give it a go. Mich x #Slimmingsunday

  3. Congrats on the weight loss. I think the best part of a diet, is a diet where you CAN eat a little of your own choice (even it it is a syn, now & again).
