Well done to Jenette for losing 4 lbs!!! To Fiona for getting back on track so well and Alison for joining SW you really won't regret it[clap][clap][clap]
Mizzy you plan of damage mimitation is bound to work[clap][clap]
I have been out for another long walk this morning, had fruits and yog before we left and just having tuna chop house salad with yog and mint dressing[angel] and a glass of water[angel]
Well I planned the food for the next week - Original or Green days, bought all the stuff (bar the fresh meat etc) bought all I needed except for Quark which was conspicuous by it's absence as one of Waitrose's fridge coolers had broken down - so natch it was that and laughing cow cheese which was removed! So am off to check out budgens after I have walked the hounds - lovely wet night here, and DH has gone to the golf course, I am tempted to go for a swim.
Half way through the new mag so feeling more motivated, it really does all help. And will have a good look through the website again tonight.
Frittata and couscous and leaves for lunch, and planning linguine with basil pesto if I can get the quark. If not will try it with low fact creme fraiche which will give it some syn value. Will serve with large salad, and have melon, cherries or nectarine for pud.
Sounds lovely Fiona[msntongue] Reading the mag always helps me too[msnwink]

About what I expected.
Will have to try really hard this week as I seem to be losing one week and putting on the next.
Don't understand how I sat next to a lady who said she had been out for 2 meals this week and ate what she wanted and stayed the same[msneek]
don't worry Sally, i know you'll be extremely dissapointed but it'll be ok, stick with it and it'll be a better week for you next week[grouphug][grouphug][grouphug]
i wouldn't worry about how others seem to be doing, no one can eat what they like and it not catch up sooner or later, it happens a lot in my class too, and there are some serious shocks that second week when the previous weeks excesses finally catches up with them
you've come a really long way Sally so stay positive you really can do this[clap][clap][clap][clap][clap]
Mizzy[msnsmile]
Sally don't worry and listen to Mizzy what she says is so true[msnwink] Just get back to it and next week you will be OK[grouphug][grouphug][grouphug]
My older children aged 17 and 21 and hubby have all ordered an Indian takeaway and the smell in my house is just divine[msneek][msnscared] I have tasted ONE piece of chicken tikka and I am now going to get a big bowl of black forest fruits and yog to take my mind off it[msnoo]
Best health and beauty boosting foods
Avocado
Good for: youthful skin
Avocado may be naturally high in fat, but most of it is the healthy, monounsaturated type which is essential for plump, youthful skin and actually helps neutralise bad fat in other foods, meaning it could help you lose weight. Avocado lowers bad cholesterol and is a good source of potassium, which helps the body flush out toxins. It also contains the most potent anti-ageing combination - vitamins E and C - which mop up ageing free radicals and de-clog arteries.
Brazil nuts
Good for: hair, nails and skin
These nuts are a great source of selenium, which improves the condition of your hair and nails, and boosts skin elasticity. Selenium also wards off opportunistic infections, keeps the muscles in your heart healthy and even helps with acne. Brazils also contain a good amount of zinc, which reduces ageing skin inflammation and eases dry skin problems like eczema and psoriasis, which leave the skin more vulnerable to wrinkling.
Broccoli
Good for: the heart
As well as being packed with antioxidants, this veg provides heaps of beta-carotene which protects against cancer and disease. It's also rich in folate, which can help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Broccoli is high in fibre which is vital for cutting the risk of bowel cancer, digestive disorders and heart disease.
Cabbage
Good for: anti-cancer
It may have been the most dreaded vegetable at school dinner time, but it contains amazing anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds. Studies have shown that people who eat cabbage once a week compared to once a month slash their colon cancer risk by a third.
Berries
Good for: supple skin
Blueberries, blackcurrants, raspberries and cranberries all help the body make collagen, the protein needed to keep skin supple, smooth and healthy. Blackcurrants in particular protect against UV skin damage and reduce the ageing effect of sunburn by neutralising free radicals. Cranberries and blueberries both help protect against cystitis by stopping harmful bacteria sticking to the urinary tract.
Oily fish
Good for: anti-heart disease, anti-diabetes, anti-wrinkles
Oily fish is the best source of omega 3, an essential fatty acid which the body can't manufacture on its own. Omega 3 has been found to protect against heart disease, adult-onset diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. This fat also reduces skin dryness and improves elasticity, which means wrinkles are less likely to appear. Celebs like Kim Cattrall follow a salmon-based anti-ageing plan - the Perricone Plan - which lifts and smooths skin in three days. If the recent pollution scares have put you off, tuna, swordfish, anchovy, herring, mackerel and sardines are good omega 3 sources.
Grapes
Good for: preventing saggy skin
Red and black grapes contain 20 known antioxidants that work together to fend off the free radical attacks that lead to wrinkly skin and disease. These antioxidants are concentrated in the skin, so always buy the most colourful grapes you can find. All grapes contain compounds that strengthen the capillaries and protect against thread veins and skin sagging.
Carrots
Good for: anti-cholesterol, protects skin from sun damage
The bunny's fave is high in anti-ageing vitamin C and a good source of dietary fibre. One study showed eating two carrots a day lowered bad cholesterol by 10%. Cook the veg to release nutrients from the tough cell structure and you'll get heaps of beta-carotene. Research has shown people with low levels of beta-carotene in their blood are more likely to have heart attacks, strokes and certain cancers. This nutrient also protects against the sun's rays. One study found taking carotenoids equivalent to two large carrots a day gives a natural SPF of 2-4 in light-skinned people.
Citrus fruit
Good for: fighting infection
The orange has been described as 'the complete package of natural anti- cancer nutrients'. It's an excellent source of collagen-building vitamin C and helps maintain the body's defences agains
