    Is it really worth wasting 5 of your daily syns on a packet of crisps though? Doesn't seem worth it to me...
    well that's the thing and this is what really annoys me when people say this... everyone uses their syns differently! I know someone who has 2 curly wurly's a night. I know another who uses their syns on 2 extra slices of bread for toast at night time and I know another woman who uses her syns for her glass of wine every night with her dinner. One thing I have to say to people at our group is... your syns are YOUR guilty pleasure to use whatever way YOU want to use them... if you want cheese... crisps... chocolate... bisquits.... ice cream... Mayonnaise... your take away... jam.. marmalade... it's entirely up to you. So what you might see as being a waste... is just what someone else needs to get them through their day... and vice versa!

    I kind of agree, i have the extra light and light mayo in my fridge but i hate it and use my syns for real mayo when i eat it...this may seem a waste to others but it keeps me happy. If i was unhappy i couldnt keep to the plan long term which is my goal.
    The way i see it if you want to use your syns for mayo/ crisps/ alcohol/ sweets or a creamy sauce its up to you, if it makes your happy and your
    on plan go for it :)

    down another 3.5lb this week and got my club 10 award and now over 2.5st gone, so i'm pretty chuffed and not bad going since the new year if you ask me. :)

    all in all, that makes me down almost 4st since the middle of last year, with the rest being lost from eating the same as my wife who's been doing SW for almost a year now and has a total loss of over 5st on SW and another 1.5st before that so between us we've lost a small person's worth of blubber in the last 12 months. :D

    Yup max syns was on Easter Sunday at 15, and that day I went for 2 walks!

    Rest of the week I was well behaved.

    Leader thinks it was due to lack of water-I'd be thinking I was doin great finishing a small bottle in a day.

    Hopefully this week will see some better results. Been drinking water constantly.

    Yeah if your exercising and not drinking enough water you are more prone to water retention or just if you don't drink enough in general. If your body is used to getting enough fluid it won't cling on to it. Also too much salt can increase water retention.

    As long as you went straight and strictly back on plan as soon as you came home you'll be fine even if you are up a pound or so.

    Hope you enjoyed the holiday!

    Hi everyone, just about these syn free sausages... I couldnt find the mallon ones last night when I went shopping after my meeting, however I did pick up some Mrs. Hicks gluten free, containing just sausage meat, salt and soya. Just wondering does anyone know the syn value for them? x

    I don't quite know how but I've had a STS after two weeks off plan. I am suspecting perhaps that it may take a little time to show on the scales. Hoping that if I'm good now and back on plan this week I can keep myself on the straight and narrow! Hope everyone else is pleased with their progress, I'm shocked and thrilled xx

    the mallons sausages are not 1 syn, they are 4 because they recently changed their ingredients. However, their gluten free ones are free. If you can log on to the website and insert all the info regarding the hicks ones, you'll find out the syn value :)



    Merkin, well done you :)


    I lost 1/2 a lb. Thought I'd get a STS so I'm thrilled. roll on next week :D
