[SWlurker]

Oh come ye oh come ye! All who are following slimming world! All who have lost their way and who have taken the scenic route, re-join and rejoice! Together we are stronger! Oh, and those of you who are on-plan PLEASE join this thread too, you're needed here!!!!

Oh lecture over

It's all in my mind, ledodgy, all in my mind. My main problem with my weight is lack of self control, so I find to count them daily helps me to be controlled.

But thanks for your encouragement.

well...the logic is there...will ask consultant why the rule is 70 rather than between 70-105.... I was when she told me....because when I did SW years ago, I am sure that we didn't limit us on 70 if counted weekly...hohum (saying that, we were adviced not to eat 15 syns everyday, lol)

have been doing mine weekly aswell as its easier for me to have one day of 'not thinking' than temptation all the time

Pink, but you are only 1 syn over the 15 that are "allowed"...so...not gonna make no difference...

I lost 4 pounds last night but that's because i've been doing the tonsilitis diet.

I also find it easier weekly...especially if I have wine...because, well, one glass just ain't hitting it for me, lol

3andnomore - I'm not actually over. I've only had 11.5 syns today.

Lol wine is my biggest syn too. I count a bottle as 30 syns and have done with it.

well done on losing 4 Ibs...that is superb...but sorry about the tonsilitis, painful and unpleasant Hope you are feeling better asap

Oh , one of the girls at my group lost 7 1/2 Ibs yesterday...it was her first week but still...wow...only time I lost 7Ibs in one week was when I did Jason Vales Jucing plan (lose 7Ibs in 7 days)

I tried to work it out, and think I have it roughly right....dry white wine is somehting like 25 or 25 1/2 syns and red dry wine is 26syns... (written it down somewhere...but to lazy to check)

Yeah i think dry white is something like 24 and red is 27 but I round it up to 30 anyways.

Hi everyone, I'm going to drag myself back to Slimming World next week after taking the last three months off. Had about a stone to lose initially and got to 5lbs from target then fell off the diet with a spectacular bump. Have put on another few pounds over summer (too much wine, choccy..the usual suspects!).

Going to stock up on lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and SW-friendly foods and get into it again.

Well done to everyone on their losses so far. BTW, I always counted 105 syns weekly like ledodgy and if I didn't go over I would still lose that week. I can't manage on really low syns, need my treats!

omg just looked at my progress chart and slimming world reckon i could be 9st13lbs by 27th of october what are the chanves of that happpening

mmmm nesquick magic straws are only half a syn each

well, ou never know, you might be How many Ibs would you have to loose to achieve that? [nosy ole bint emoticon]

dunno i am 11 st 11 lbs atm

that would be 26 Ibs, if I calculated that correctly.....hm...in how many weeks ?

Nemo - well done mate - you must be so chuffed with yourself - keep at it girly!!

justneedsomesleep - fab loss as well - you all make me so jealous!

I am the half pound a week girl, but I do have an excuse - I am diabetic and that makes it very difficult to lose weight especially if you eat 'diet' foods as they usually have sugar in them, which my body holds onto. I struggle with yoghurts as the Muller ones are too high in sugar - so have to have plain yog with pured fruit (which is ont syn free!). I got the Irish Diet ones from Tesco - eight in a pack - taste great - work out as free - so I am happy as I have eaten two today!!!

Does anyone know the syn value of those Ainsely Cous Cous - I had half a packet of the moroccan one for lunch today! I am starting properly on Saturday (dont want to miss my scrabled egg butty at work tomorrow!!)

I can't recall the exact syn value, but it could be free or the most I have seen a couscous to have was 1-2 syns

I assume that is on a green day? I will have to look them up!

ooops, yes on red it would be more....obviously

just checked the website...it's 1 syn per 100g cooked (without butter/oil) on green and 7 on red

3andnomore, scan bran is only available from the meetings, its ike a crumbley ryvita but also gross. My consultant made a chocolate brownie with them by adding sweetener, cocoa and hot water. I tried it at home but ended up with a soggy chocolatey ryvita. oes anyone have any idea how many sins are in puff pastry? tried that BBQ sauce it went down well thanks.

right i have got to try and not have more than 10 syns for next 4 days cos the last 2 days i have had 16 syns i need to lose at least a lb this week

You know MDF wood? Well you know the brown bit in the middle and in the back? Well that is scan bran.
