Hi there Irishtweet!

Wow, i'd never be able to do any diet whilst living in a hotel - i'm impressed!

Looks to me as though you're doing alright so far, i'd get very sick of kettle meals though! And so much harder to eat enough to be full without easy access to fresh fruit and veg.

Best of luck with it!

Thanks Emmster
Tho i have to say.. last night didnt go too well..

Went to an italian. had a lovely salad for starters..
and then went downhill.. got a 9" pizza and ate it all myself.
Toppings included - pizza sauce, grate mozzerella, carmalised onions,pepperoni, goats cheese, basil pesto, and parmasen cheese. Thin based.

Was yum, but went way over syns im sure..
so then headed to the cinema and endedup eating lots of little sweets. dunno how many!

restart today im afraid!

OK back to the hotel and their brekkie

had 2 slices of lean bacon.. they looked grilled
had beans, and grilled tomatoes too..
and half grapefruit.

think the brekkie was 0 points..
snack - banana

lunch is goingto be a struggle. going to a cafe, and i coudlnt find their menus online.. buti ll do me best..



plan for dinner later is mild curry super noodles at 3.5 syns
dessert - mullerlight yoghurt with strawberries and grapes


chat laters... with futher adventures of living in a hotel..

welcome to slimming world and minimins!! good luck with weightloss, must be hard doing this at a hotel!

thanks dreamaholic.. hopefully only another 2 or 3 weeks left here, but i have to start sometime and it will be great practise for when im eating out

ok update..

lunch,, ended up being a small pork homemade burger, with a tomato based sauce, with 1 mash spud, broccolli, green beans and cheesy cauli.

im thinkin of using the cheese for my hea and then put 2 syns for the sauce (just incase) 3 for cheesy cauli and 5 for the burger and 2 for teh mash.. im sure thats all my syns for the day..

with that in mind, off to tesco i went.. i bought grapes, strawberries, raspberries, tin of mushy peas and tin of beans.. ate all and im actually full.. didnt go for the noodles as i dont have any syns left..

however, i caved in about 30 mins ago, and ate a few sweets that were left over from the cinema last night, so there goes my 100% day.. feck sake.. anyhows, im surewith all those ss foods ive eaten all day i should get a kick start hopefully!! didnt manage get out for a walk or to get any kettlebell workouts done, but tmrws another day

Total syns for the day... way over 15!!

Aww hun, it must be so so hard having to live in a hotel, there is no way I would be able to stick to plan 100%. It looks like you are doing the best you can though.
I find that once you have one 100% day you get even more motivated to go 100% the next day and so on.
How much longer do you have to stay in the hotel for?

At least 2 weeks.. could stretch to another 3. not sure.. So only a month in total. i shouldnt really moan too much! jUst bad timing for my Weight loss tho.. but sure ill do me best!

hey there how's it going so far?

Where abouts is the hotel? Hope it's somewhere nice!

Its in Sligo, in west of Ireland,

Dreamaholic... ive just had the most awful wk. Havent been following slimming world at all.. and ate all around me! probably didnt help i was so hungover from the wknd it took till yday to be fully recovered!

So ill start again today.. its just too easy not to follow it when ur out in these resaturants that all they want to serve is oil and fat ladened food, andn when u ask for it without they say they cant do it, so obviously it all comes in a tub and they just serve! argh! rant over..

I thought i did v well last week, just a few slip ups, and was relaly good with the room meals of noodles and fruit, but hey ho.. i lost nothing!!
