Glad everything went ok, Doreen and that they've fitted you in for an early appointment next time, too. Think you were wise not to drive, after having your eye dilated. xx

Thanks! Random question, But on most threads I've read there is nothing about the amount of water people drink. I religously try to drink 2 litres of water aday. When I stop drinking water I start putting weight back on. Do any of you fab Slimming world'ers calculate your water intake too?

Hi - my drink of choice is fruit tea - I drink a few a day, maybe a couple of coffees or 2 teas plus water with the occasional carbonated diet drinks. I try to follow the NHS guidline on fluid intake - 1.6L plus we get fluid from veg, fruit and other food don't we.

I think drinking a fair amount keeps us feeling fuller and I've read that when we're dieting - if we're dehydrated our bodies are less able to release fat.

Good luck with ur weight loss journey - keep us posted xx

 

[UKSerena]

Your day looks fab sweetie! Well done on your fluid intake too x

Looks good to me Linda, The only concern is if you had 2 heb oats then you have to syn the potatoes too, On a red day they are also a heb.
Unfortunately you have to either syn the potato or one of the oats. I`m sure I am correct.
Sorry.
What did you think of the chicken with chorizo?

 

[upndown]

I was supposed to go to a meeting tonight at 5pm. When I was leaving the house it was not quite dark but I could not see because of the lights on the other cars. My eye had to be dilated as I said and they have not closed properly yet and it would have been too dangerous to drive, if fact I could not drive.. I expect they will phone me in the morning, I am supposed to attend for 5 weeks. oh well..

Well I think you did the right thing there Doreen - I'm sure u can rearrange ur meeting xx

No snow and no sun which is good as I have my eye dilated for the test. I did get seen very quickly but I have to go back on 4th Feb for some lasering on my right eye as it is leaking. Could not be done today as I was seen before my time I would have had to wait a very long time. The doc said he was going to put on my notes that I get very anxious and must have early appointments.

The one on the 4th is 9.20. Ihad to be seen within 6 weeks. I will be seen 2nd which is really good.

Really good to read those posts Doreen and its great that the doctor understood about your anxiety and will make sure you get an early appointment, that should really help. You were very sensible not to drive this evening and they should understand that. Hope your eyes have settled now. xx

Hi Stacey... I see Nanny D has already welcomed you. I'm another of her crazy regular posters but have to say this is such a lovely friendly place and always help on hand. Good luck with your SW journey.
