Oooh don't drop your syns that low! The way I see it is that when you are close to target if you plateau you still have room to lower them and then see if it shakes it up a bit. Plus! When you hit target you will need to stop losing weight and maintain and thus meaning more syns. Make sense or have I waffled ?!
Your idea of doing more exercise and keeping syns normal is a much better idea

Makes sense - the kind of sense I like as it means more treats

Saturday so far.....
Started well.....
11am - scan bran x 5 (B) scrambled egg, bacon
Went for hair cut - still all good......
2pm - started going wrong
Met friends for pub lunch - cheeseburger (on a white barm) and potato wedges. Yum.
Maybe today is an extra easy to allow for wedges???? If so I think it's syns for cheeseburger 22 - guess as quarter pounder is listed in book. - mine was 8oz with cheddar only no sauce etc
now I have had bad good I feel like a pint so gonna call a 'flexi day' 70 syns and go the pub as havent been since January! So if I assume 30 syns to be safe for lunch that leaves me 40 for the pub......
Going for pints if it correct at 6 syns per pint as otherwise drink gin which is lower syn BUT nowhere round here sells diet lemonade and I don't like tonic ....

The official guilt trip confession for the remainder of Saturdays poor behaviour.....
After the filthy cheeseburger & potato wedges in the pub, returned the car to home and decided a trip to another pub was in order this time focusing on alcohol. Waiting around bored for the other half led to ......
Ww caramel wafer biscuit. 4 syns
Ww choc mini roll 4.5 syns
Bit of egg fried rice from the chippy (few spoons pinched from someone else) which then gave me a Chinese craving
Cue trip into Warrington approx 8 pints (in the middle a trip to the Chinese buffet!)
Buffet was quite reasonable compared to what I usually eat there, one small plate of the picky starters (all the crunchy bits like prawn toast)
Followed by a plate of the crispy seaweed - then back to the pub!
So that was my monthly day off in march done! No more now until April.
On another note am pondering changing weigh in day from Monday am to Friday am, as spend a lot of the weekend currently focusing on eating things to suit for weigh in - that's not a healthy lifestyle change!
Just think that mentally Friday will work better for me, along with a fresh loss on Friday makes the niggling temptation to get a pizza on Friday night or go the pub much less tempting!
So Fridays from now on!
