What I ate in a week - Slimming World

Welcome back to an appetite for makeup,


Hello, this is a little different to my usual kind of posts but slimming world and my slimming journey has become a massive of my life, so I wanted to share it with you.

To give you little update on my slimming journey, I have lost 3 stone 2lb, this is mostly through Slimming World and Zumba. This has taken about 3 years, but I wasn't really putting my all in to it and didn't really stick the plan on the weekend at first.

Lost quite a lot in the last few months and I really feel I have got my head properly in to it.

Sorry for all the waffling, let's get in to it.

I watch a lot of 'what I eat in a day' videos on YouTube and they really help me to keep me focused and give me lots of ideas.

So I thought I would take a photo of all my meals through out the week and show you all.

Day 1 - Friday


Breakfast- Salted caramel Hifi bar, watermelon and a coffee.

Dinner- Chicken done in the oven with spices and served with green beans; melon for afterwards.

Tea- Gammon and egg with cauliflower, carrots and crispy kale.

Syns -  Snackajacks - 4.5
                Hifi light - 3

This day, was an SP day; and I really enjoyed it, I just fill my plate up with lots of meat and speed veg and have lots of speed fruit for afterwards, I never felt hungry either.

Day 2 -Saturday


Breakfast - 2 weetabix, with SS milk (150ml) with chopped apple and banana.

Dinner - Bacon, tomato and scrambled egg with an orange and a yogurt filled with berries. 

Tea - Chicken in blackbean sauce and boiled rice.

Syns - Chinese in black bean sauce -7.5
               Hifi light - 3

Saturday nights always get me, either with drink, food or usually both.
However tonight I used the online help and researched which was the best meal to have from a Chinese takeaway and it came up with the 'chicken in blackbean sauce'.

Day 3 - Sunday


Breakfast - Hifi bar, banana, Apple and a tea.

Dinner - Sunday's dinner, chicken and beef.

Tea - Sweet chilli hot smoked salmon     with salad.

Syns - hot smoked salmon - 4
               Gravey - 1.5 
               Yorkshire pudding - 2.5

Sundays dinner is always a good one for slimming world, fill you plate with veg and meat and all you have to watch is how much gravey you put on. 1.5 syns for 100ml of made up gravey.

Day 4  - Monday 


Breakfast - Egg sandwich, strawberries and a coffee.

Dinner - SW sausages, cauliflower, carrot, broccoli, tomato and crispy kale.
Watermelon and raspberries.

Tea - Steak, king prawns, new potatoes, mushrooms, tomatoes and peas.

Syns  - Pombears - 5 
            Sesame oil - 2

This day I ate out which can be heavy in the syns, I always go for steak, new potatoes and veg, just make sure nothing is soaked in butter.

Day 5 - Tuesday


Breakfast - Weetabix, raspberries, Apple, orange and a coffee.

Dinner - hot smoked salmon with salad and strawberries.

Tea - Chicken in oyster sauce and brown rice, watermelon for after.

Syns - Curly Wurly - 6

I loved this chicken in oyster sauce dish I made, which I got from the website; 
I can't believe it's free and it's packed with veg, I served it with brown rice but it would be lovely with just more veg on the side or spiraled courgrette.

Day 6 - Wednesday 


Breakfast - Hifi light, orange and apple.

Dinner - Ham and haloumi (HA) with salad and strawberries on the side.

Tea - Eggy bread, beans, mushrooms and tomatoes.
Watermelon and strawberries and squirty cream. 

Syns - 3 dashes of milk - 3 
           Tbsp of light mayo - 2 
           Curly wurly - 6 
           Lighter squirty cream - 1.5

I planned for more SP days but sometimes I slip up, so I tried it again, I loved the eggy bread meal with beans and mushrooms. 
I'm having that again!!!

Day 7 - Thursday - Weigh day


Breakfast - Hifi bar, Apple, orange and coffee.

Dinner - SW burgers, carrots, pepper, crispy kale and tomato.

Tea - Nachos, as a treat.

Syns - Nachos - 15
           Dime - 9

Well becuase it's weigh day, I started off really well, but after I get weighed i always have a little treat. I made nachos then had a dime bar, I have this little treat and get back on it the next day.

So that is all my meals this week, this week I lost 3.5lb and I was slimmer of the week! 
I was over the moon! 

I hope everyone enjoyed this becuase I really enjoyed taking photos of my meals because it kept me on track.

Thankyou for reading.
