SLIMMING WORLD AND ME


My name is Amy and when I joined Slimming World in March 2017 I had got to the end of my tether trying to lose weight and being unsuccessful – it was driving me mad!
I work away a lot and this makes it difficult to sustain weight loss due to eating out for every single meal! (There’s only so many salads you can have that aren’t covered in sauce).

My start weight was 12 stone 3lbs and I’ve got to 11 stone 13 over the past few weeks…not great however, I have maintained and being away is very difficult so I’m happy I’ve lost and not gained.

Another challenge I face is that I don’t live with my boyfriend yet (we are trying!). So this means we have to eat what’s put in front of us by the parents as it’s cheaper to eat together.

I also have a huge family and lots of friends from school (so does he) and so there’s 8 weddings this year, and so many birthdays and christenings! All his friends turn 30 so we can’t miss the big ones!

Anyway this is my blog representing (and hopefully helping) those with a busy career and life trying to lose weight sustainably! I’m hoping this blog will help keep me on track.

My Take Away Resruarant Slimming World Syns List

I find it really difficult to find up to date information about Slimming World online. I think this is because all of the Forums are from between 2010 and 2014 when the 'Red and Green' days still existed. Obviously Slimming World has changed somewhat since then and it makes the new guidelines for the plan much easier however...I cannot find anything online about Take Away food. I know that Slimming World has pages for each of the most popular take aways but it doesn't really go into much detail about their syns, especially my favorite which is Thai Food. Here is a list of everything I have compiled together for a 2017 Slimming World Take Away Restaurant Syns List. As it will take some time to go through this I am going to be writing my findings in a series of posts about how you can still eat take aways on your Slimming World plan. THAI FOOD Starting with my absolute favorite. On the main Slimming World website it does suggest things like Pad Thai Jay or Kha...

Slimming world lunches on a budget

Slimming World is known for having so many different items of food that you can eat with low syns or no syns at all. Often lunch time is where you find the highest syns with lots of bread, creamy sauces and carbs everywhere! I went to the gym this morning and stocked up for next week on a four items all under 3 syns each. First things first Batchelor's Pasta 'n' Sauce which if you follow me on Instagram you will know is one of my absolute go to, quick fix lunches. I think I have had it most days this week. Anyway...In the supermarket today I found these and they are only 1.5 syns. SYN HEAVEN. They are great because you don't need to add anything else other than hot water and they taste the same as the packets. They are limited in options though as there was only this flavour and the chicken and mushroom one on the shelves. The chicken and mushroom pot was also 1.5 syns. On the Slimming World Lifeline Online there is another options but maybe they haven...
