Happy Birthday Moira - hope its a good one.

suffering today, was out for a meal with friends. Food wise I ate very well, butternut squash soup followed by salmon and veg. Let myself down on the alcohol front though. I was going to drive, changed my mind at the final hour, How I wish now that I had driven! Off for some scrambled eggs to make me feel better.

SShhh everybody, Honey has a hangover. :rotfl:
Enjoy your breakfast/lunch.

KatiePC the Berlingo's a brilliant, and nippy, little car, I'm sure you'll enjoy driving it. I look forward to seeing some of your new recipes

Going out to lunch to day - it's only carvery, but that makes it easy to fit in with SW and I'll have melon to start and no pudding :A

Hi Lois Lane

If you want help about reducing your salt/sodium intake there is a great deal of information, explanation and suggestions on my website. - In particular page http://www.wildeaboutsteroids.co.uk/sodium_foods.html gives information about high sodium and low sodium foods. If you would like individual help you can email me from the email link on the links on the left of all my many webspages and I will do all I can to help you.

The main source of salt intake for most people, according to the High Blood Pressure Unit at St George's Hospital, Tooting, London, is bread. Most bread is high in sodium. Some lower sodium bread is made but it is sometimes a bit hard to track down. I make my own unsalted bread in a breadmaker.

Processed food and ready meals also tend to be very high in salt. - All of this information is on my website.

All the best to you.

Thanks for the kind words guys . You're probably right, I should stop worrying about it! I'm really delighted with my progress so far, it's helped so much by the exercise, and I'm not looking to lose weight any faster than this. I'm just finding it easy as long as I am sensible ... and I'm still terrified of slipping off the wagon when and if things get more difficult. I am sure with you guys for inspiration that day's a long way off though!

KPC, nice wheels :T ! I would love something with tons of boot space ... right now my poor dogs have to be folded before they fit into BF's impractical choice of car ...!

Honey :beer: - top tip - an AlkaSeltzer XS tablet and some serious sleep along with your eggs and you'll be cured :cool: ! Hope you feel better soon.

Off to pop a chicken in the oven and make some soup for through the week. Did I mention that BF has noticed his trousers a bit looser ... he seems slightly confused by this ... I quote "I haven't even been trying ... after all, you're the one on the diet, aren't you?!". Little does he know he's been eating low fat everything + extra veg for the last 2 months :rotfl:

Don't worry, if you feel as though you're slipping, visualize yourself where you want to be - close your eyes, take time out and do it properly, see the dress you're wearing etc. - it really helps! Failing that come on here and we'll put you right!

Men - they eat whatever you give them and so they can slim without pain or effort, nice huh???

Thanks Margarete, however as I mentioned before, I have already reduced my salt intake, and I eat very little bread, processed food or ready meals. Please don't think I've dismissed the whole idea out of hand, because I haven't. I've read the information on your website, and I am already avoiding or cutting down on the foods in the red list. In fact for anyone who is following Slimming World (SW), most of those foods are restricted.

One example is bread - on SW bread can either be eaten as a Healthy Extra B choice (HEb), providing it is wholemeal, or counted as syns. SW recommend two HEbs a day, and one allowance of bread is two slices from a 400g loaf - that amount isn't going to contain a large amount of salt. Another item on the list is cheese - again this is permitted either as a Healthy Extra A choice (HEa) or as syns. SW recommends one or two HEa's each day, and one choice could be 28g of cheddar, which wouldn't contain very much salt either. Syns can be used for foods that don't fall into other categories, but only up to a maximum of 15 per day, so again, limiting the amount of unhealthy food that can be eaten.

I've just seen a Slimming World pack go for £41.00 on eBay!

And it's not even the most up to date :eek:

LOOK!

Why doesn't the person just join a local class...?
