Those with less to lose under 1.5 stone

Do you aim for 10 syns or is it actually ok to aim for 15 ?

I am usually aiming for 10 but sometimes it does go up to 12. I keep reading "have all your syns"


Opinions please .

There is no hard and fast rule - you just have to find what suits you. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence on here that people have better losses when they have all their Syns, but there are plenty of people who don't, and I'm one of them!

If you're happy with 10-12 a day, then that's great and you shouldn't use more just for the sake of using them. However, if you use all 10-12 on what I call treat items (crisps/chocolate/wine, etc), consider using some on the little things that make a meal nice eg gravy, small Yorkshire pudding, salad dressing etc. as this is good for an interesting diet and helps with maintenance later on.

Do what you feel is right for you and, most important, what makes SW sustainable for you.

Hi thanks for the reply. I do use them for gravy, sweet chilli sauce etc. Some days though when I'm ravenous I have a pack of velvet crunch crips and a HIFI light which takes me to 12 ish . I guess it's all trail and error.

It sounds as though you're doing fine and the odd day when you might even go over 15 won't matter!

However, try do make sure you satisfy hunger with Free foods and don't rely on crisps etc for that.

Hi
I have 21 pounds to lose and I am sticking with 15 syns fri- sun so I can have 3 small glasses of wine on these evenings
then during the week i usually have a kitkat or a fudge with my cup of tea on an evening, and then use the rest (up to 10) on things like salad cream, cheese & extra milk.
weight has been slow last couple of weeks but its been my 40th and I have been out celebrating!
but its still coming off!
good luck

Hi I do the same I aim for 10 syns a day but don't worry if once in a while I have more. But I have found I need to reduce my potion sizes now I'm getting closer to my target but I still eat when hungry but just less. Everyone is different and everyday is different some days I eat what feels like all day then others I only eat a couple of meals. Listen to ur body and usually that works so if your happy with 10 and it works stick with what ur doing.
