    Emma's Journey from Fat and Frumpy to Fit and Fabulous!

    I do occasionally, for the plan to be a realistic way of life you have to be able to include everything... There are some guidelines for syns in your plan book but tbh I'd probably just assume it was loads and write it off as an off plan meal! Sent from my iPhone using MiniMins

    Thanks Hun, I'm trying to keep myself going. Can only take it one day at a time. We've done 12 weeks, only 4 and a bit to go, should feel a sense of achievement, but it still feels so long to go. I definitely think my hormones are making me over emotional this week, can't wait to feel normal...

    New me for 2014!

    I came home from work tonight ready to have a go at Shred level 2. Took it easy to begin with because I wasn't sure what I was doing. Circuit 1, fine, circuit 2 - the DVD froze :( I tried re-setting it, but my DVD doesn't want me to see the cardio & abs sections. Carried on to circuit 3, but...

    Definitely don't restrict your syns too much the rest of the week. As you say it's likely to make u binge even more. Just get back on track and do your best the rest of the week. You say it's difficult in your 2nd week but it takes time to change the habits if a lifetime, don't beat yourself up...

    Yeh I do go to class, but they just go on about using your syns helping with weight loss. Think I will ask more specifically. I just don't get why I would eat more calories (even tho sw isn't about calories) to use up syns, when I'm not hungry or feeling deprived. I'm not forcing it this...

    Not sure what is wrong with me at the moment, keep falling asleep ridiculously early. It was before 9pm last night, fell asleep on the couch then went to bed at 10 and fast asleep again... The negative means I'm wide awake before 6am :eek: Not good, on my day off!! Will try to last later...
