New Year, New You with Slimming World

I bought a new dress today in a size 16, I can't remember the last time I was that size, I think probably when I was university almost 20 years ago. Very pleased with this!

I had the SW salmon farfalle last night, thought it was bit dry, better with the addition of ketchup.

Went to aqua zumba for the first time, I'm not sure I was following all the moves but it was quite fun. Hope this will help shrink my waist a bit and also tone my legs.

I haven't been watching sewing bee mim but I googled and looks like suitably vintage for your style. I was thinking of you only yesterday when I saw this

in John Lewis. It's the most beautiful fabric but madly expensive.

That dress is lovely maman, love the colour.

Have absolutely no idea how but I lost 1lb today! I was up to my weeks syns Wednesday morning when I totted them up and was resigned to a gain and didn't worry about syns I had yesterday including a proper pink peppercorn sauce with Madeira and double cream (it was gorgeous).

I'm now only 0.5lb from bottom end of target so really don't want to lose anything next week! Doesn't really seem like the right thing to be saying on a SW thread.

Hello, psycho and rainbow!

Ha ha, maman, that’s the dress my daughter bought for my son’s wedding! She’s thinking of putting it on ebay it afterwards to recoup some of the money! It is a lovely dress – and it has pockets!!!!

Not a bad day today, I’m pleased to report.

Friday will be
Breakfast: yogurt & fruit
Lunch: out with a friend (again!)
Dinner: tuna & sweetcorn spud, salad stuff
Snacks: we’ll see how the day goes, lol.

See you all tomorrow.

Apparently once the vouchers for the SW meals stop they're going to be on 2 for £5 as a way of apology for the low stock.

I think the Tikka one is OK, but a bit saucy, I've got the pasta one I've not tried yet, its just there as an emergency really.

Well done to the above mentioned losers _party_

Just really wanted to address a matter of Fibre in the diet.

To those who's bowels seem sluggish, lack of FIBRE could be the reason.

I have been following the eating plans, but needed gentle persuasion via laxatives to be able to go to the loo.

Here is an excerpt fron teh NHS website:

The NHS advises getting about 18g of fibre a day, but most people only eat about 14g. So how can you get more healthy fibre into your diet? Here are 10 good sources of fibre:

• Beans. All beans are good, whether baked beans, beans like kidney beans in chilli or beans in salads. Half a tin of baked beans (200g) is 7g of fibre.
• Wholegrain and wholemeal. Skip white bread and pasta, look out for wholegrain and wholemeal on the labels.
• Brown or wholegrain rice. White rice doesn't offer as much fibre.
• Keep your finger on the pulses. As well as beans, chickpeas and lentils are full of fibre, high in protein and low fat.
• Nuts. Almonds, pecans, and walnuts have more fibre than other nuts.
• Jacket potato - the skin is the important bit. A small baked potato has 3g fibre.
• Dried fruit. If fresh fruit isn’t available, dried fruit offers a fibre-full snack. A 50g portion of dried figs is 4g fibre.
• Bran based cereal and other healthy cereal options. To count as high-fibre food, it has to contain at least 6g of fibre per 100g. A 30g bowl of bran flakes delivers 4g of fibre.
• Porridge. Porridge is made from oats which are a great source of fibre.
• Fruit and veg. At least 5-a-day portions and the crunchier, the better. A medium-sized apple alone is 2g fibre.

I know it is obvious, but I made the mistake of not eating enough fibre, I ate tons of oranges, but no fibre there unless I ate the skin (Yuk!).

Hope this helps someone

I am now trying the Overnight Oats to see how that helps.
