Morning all. Hope you are well. Could I please ask about syn allowance. Is it ok to use them as a weekly total and count down, or have you got to use them daily? And advice would be really appreciated x

Morning Emmaline hope you are keeping well. Don't worry about the iffy days, we all have them, and the scales not going up is a good bonus, it just shows that you have been on track the rest of the time. Pleased to hear that you have your computer sorted I don't know what I would do without the...

Evening Emmaline hope that you are keeping well. Food is looking tasty as usual. Off for the weekend now so will hopefully be able to get on to the forums more often. Booked a holiday to majorca this evening it's not until next may, but it's something to look forward to. Hope your back is...

Hi Emmaline, ouch your back sounds very painful. All we can do is our best and as long as we keep trying and don't give up then that's good enough in my book. Your so meticulous in your logging of you food for the day you will definitely succeed no doubt about that. It may take us a little...
