Thread: Quick question re: syns

Hi, I was just thinking, do you have to have 5 syns a day or is it okay to have less, or even none? I've only been having 2.5 a day so far!

Hi there, you should be aiming for around 10 a day or as you get nearer 2 goal u won't be able 2 cut down on sins.

Thanks, I guess i'm being too good then! Better have a nibble now...

I would just try and stick to what your doing as some days you might find you hardly have any syns whereas other days such as the weekends you may have more than 19 syns so by the end of the week it balances itself out!

Best thing is just to see what works for you!

That is so true...

Hi, I don't have many syns on SW, mainly cos it's gota be all or nothin with me, if I have a 'treat' I'm afraid I won't stop, so I try not to have any, it's workin so far, but then I find on a Saturday when I'm really busy I tend to have 'food on the go' so it kinda evens it out - sayin that tho, a friend of mine who's lost over 3 stone on SW has all her alloted syns everyday as she says if u don't have any, then have a big treat, u cud pile on more weight as it's a shock to ur body? Best advice is as above, trust in ur own body and the scales - gud luck

Wow angel thats fab about your friend loosing three stone on Slimming World!!

How did she do it? How long did it take her?

Hi Akeli - I think it's took her about 6 months, she's had a steady weight loss most weeks, it was her who got me back onto it, she looks amazing, she wasn't terribly big b4, well not to me anyway, but now she's lost that weight she looks fab, and feels it too, her goal was to lose it b4 she went to a Texas ranch this christmas just gone - think she didnt want the horses to 'buckle under her' - her words not mine lol - she says she's found it really easy, she's amazing willpower tho - ex navy - very disciplined!!

Hi I have bought the new slimming world magazine today going to have a read at it and might have another go again not banking on it though.

I think you're right about it balancing out actually - as i've had hardly any syns all week but last night at a restaurant I ordered a tuna pasta bake..except it was greasy slop covered in cheese, I wasn't happy! So I think it's probably evened out, I didn't eat much of it but I expect my remaining syns got used up on it!

I'm like you Angel, too scared to have any choccie or crisps in case I go mad and eats loads of it! Haven't had any for a week!

awww I no exactly how u feel Sapphire, I was nearly tempted to open a jar of my ikkle babies' chocolate pudding earlier


I didn't

I think i'm going to have to start upping my daily syns - last week (my first week) I had 54 syns for the week, and only lost 1.2 lbs. I looked at my food sheets for last year when I went to meetings and I was having 70 syns a week by having 10 a day, and losing 3 lbs a week, so I am going to go back to that approach this week. I'm not going to have any chocolate though!

Today i've used 4.5 already on a pink & white marshmallow wafer thing (2.5) and a chocolate mini milk lolly (2)

I think its all about experimenting to see what works best with SW...

it's recommended between 5 and 15 a day isnt it? officially? having less isnt a problem though!

You could save your syns up as "flexible syns" if you have a meal out planned. That certainly is very helpful!!
