    extra easy-is it working for you?

    thanks for replying. maybe im not getting the third free thing right. I do find that bit hard with the types of things im eating like pasta dishes and rice. Maybe i would be better having meat amd veg so you can clearly see how much veg. I tend to just add some sweetcorn/peas to pasta n sauce...

    10 or 15 syns a day?

    Just logged back on, sorry for not replying sooner to everyone. It is interesting to read that people who are having 15 actually have better losses than those who have lower. I wonder if its anything to do with feeling you are not depriving yourself too much. I try and have a curly wurly...

    10 or 15 syns a day?

    Thats fine then, some days i go over by half a syn and have 10.5 so just wanted to check this wouldnt make too much difference with the book saying your allowed up to 15 anyway. I have around 4 stone to lose anyway so i like the point about reducing your syns as your weight lowers. Thanks!!
  15. J

    10 or 15 syns a day?

    My last question sorry! Does everyone stick to having a max daily allowance of 5/10/ or 15? Our slimming world consultant recommends everyone has 10 and only have 15 if your doing loads of exercise? 10 of your average and 5 if your in the house all day long every day? Is this the norm...
