Goooooooooooood Morning Salad Munchers ! ,

I hope you all had a good nights sleep and are feeling mighty fit on day 1 . I will be looking forward to your posts later this evening. Some yummy salad pics :drool:. Just a quick reminder, I hope you all remembered to weigh yourself this morning on your home scales for the start of the challenge. You will need to know this figure for next Monday when you weigh yourself at home again, to see how much you have lost .

I am feeling better this morning. I'm doing the Turbo Cycle so its an exercise day for me. I have done 30 minutes already got another 30 mins to do later. Also I've drank 1 litre of water already, yippee ! I'm having grilled chicken salad for tea later tonight, so looking forward to that. Would love to hear how you're all getting on. I will pop back later .

Morning!
Woke up with a headache, not a great start, sure it's nothing to do with all the wine I drank last night :-/ shouldn't struggle with the 2L today, need to hydrate!
Weighed in, just pondering what to have for breakfast!
Thinking omelette with quorn sausages and mushrooms.
Salad for lunch
Then tea.. a meat/fish item with roast veg.
Syns.. Maybe crisps or a mini bag of choc buttons.
Does that sound ok?

Morning bunny Am tired today but raring to go on the challenge yay! Weighed myself this morning (as I do every morning haha!) and have made a note. Would really love to be 2lbs lighter this time next week so going to do my very best!

I think my food might be a little bit boring this week and much the same each day as I didn't have much time to plan lots of things for the week given that I made a spur of the moment decision to join the challenge yesterday afternoon I would like Saturday off if that's ok and maybe Friday evening but will see. Not going off propoints but might find it harder to stick to salads on those two days cos of it being weekend.

So glad you are feeling better this morning hun! xx

Good luck all fellow salad munchers for this week!

Thanks Kay!
Ha I look forward to the week ahead clean eating makes you feel so good!
I certainly will include the leaves! I bought a whole lettuce and bag of pea shoots yesterday, and have spring onions, celery, peppers, cucumber too. Then just add stuff each day- egg, tuna, chicken, bacon...
I also picked up some fat free dressing x

Hi all,

I've only just discovered this thread and LOVE the look of it!! I've just missed out on this week's challenge (I may try sticking to it just by myself anyway and see how it works for me). But next week I would love to give this a proper shot!!

I love salads, looking forward to experimenting with them!

Thank you Kay, I've just had a look on my diary

Re fri/sat, I will still keep to the exercise and water plan and may even stick with the correct food on Friday. Still staying within propoints anyway so won't be doing any damage as such!

Going to have a browse on this thread in a mo, to see what others have had to eat on this challenge.

Was going to pm you but will post here, just a few things I want to make certain of (please correct me if I'm wrong ):

These don't need to be syned - tea and coffee with sweetener and semi skimmed milk, nas squash, quark, fruit, salad, veg, pickled onions/beetroot

These need to be syned - light salad cream/salad dressing, yoghurt, custard, nas jelly, choc options sachet

Can have on green and red days - extra low fat cheese triangles, lighter cheese, eggs

Can have on red days - tuna, chicken, ham, soup e.g tomato or carrot and lentil

Can have on green days - warburton thin or ww wrap as long as it's only part of one meal and not with the main salad

Thanks Kay xx

Hello hun glad your liking the thread. Unfortunately this is the last week of The Salad Challenge, then I will be closing this thread down and my new one will be going up for the winter months which will be The Soup Challenge, which will be similar to this one in parts, that's starting next Monday. If you feel you have understood this challenge well, then I still don't mind adding you today and you can join us this week on the Salads . If you have any questions, feel free to fire away and I will do my best to answer them on here. If you do join today you will need to post up Day 1 tonight with the rest of us using the template and take a salad pic of your salad if you can but its optional. Let me know what you decide xx

Okay in answer to your questions :-

1) Correct - Perfect.
2) If you go through Section 7b of the guidelines, there is section on `Dressings ' in which you will see pics of the ones which are `free ' I think in WW they would call that `zero points ' am I right ? Light salad cream however does need to be syned hun. Fat free yogurt is free so no points. No added sugar jelly is free too so `0' points. Custard and choc options would have to be syned.
3) Correct, we call them `healthy extras on SW ' yes you can have the low fat versions of dairy .
4) Yes on RED you can have meats and proteins, veg soup would normally work better on the GREEN/EE days but you could still have it on Red in SW it would be counted as a healthy extra, but you need not worry about that, yes veg soup on red will be fine.
5) Yes you can hun, the carbs will be part of your meal which doesn't contain your salad .

Hope this helps xx
