Slimming World - off plan for Christmas

I am writing this partly because I feel for the first time in a long time that it is okay not to eat on plan every day! I have been fluctuating between 1/2 a stone loss since March and I can't push it any further. I am not going to over indulge but I am going to eat what I want if I am out for tea with friends. I am not going to punish myself over Christmas because that's what I am supposed to do. Why is everyone being so hard on themselves?

I have made the decision to start from scratch in January. It is a good time to get yourself back on plan!

I have put together 5 steps which I think will help me back on plan.

1. Weighing myself on 23rd December - Once I know how much I need to lose before the year ends it will make me all the more determined to go out and get it done.


2. Writing a food diary and keeping my Lifeline online up to date as much as possible. This will help because I can see what I am eating and where I am going wrong.

3. Exercising 3 times per week without fail - more if possible...I have a Fitbit so I am hoping this will give me a good push so I can physically see what I am achieving.

4. EAT ALL OF MY SYNS. I am not going to deprive myself any more - why should I? That isn't what Slimming World is all about. Their motto definitely is far from 'STARVE YOURSELF' their motto is eat whatever you want but sensibly, FOOD OPTIMIZE. So this is exactly what I am going to do.

5. Plan and prep. I am going to plan all of my meals and stacks at the beginning of each week and plan when I can go to the gym within those times. I am going to ensure I have everything organised for the week ahead so that I am planning to succeed not to fail. Of course, I will have bad days but I can substitute those bad days for really really good days!

Overall I want to be successful in my weight loss for 2018 so I am going to not be hard on myself but plan for success!

Do any of you have any plans to keep you on track for 2018?

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 Khao

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&#
