Thanks for the info. That is really helpful. They are still synful yes and they kind of taste strange but they are low GI so don't raise insulin levels in the same way as sugar I guess. Once you get used to a wee sprinkle though they have their own charms as a sweetener. I like them myself...

Thanks Sus-murph. I credit mini mims/slimming world with my losing the weight first time. I read it first thing in the morning and it always(mostly) got my head right for the day.

Hi Everyone I am in the North and I have put on 1 and half stone after losing 3 a couple of years ago. I have so much empathy with some of the recent comments and I am also so encouraged by your perseverance and motivation. I am doing it from home now and I am going to re-read what I have read...

Thanks for the quick reply Chomp. I am doing SW from home so can't access website. I bought it in Holland and Barrett if that helps your googling

Hi Does anyone use Tiana coconut Nectar crystals? They are very different but seem healthier than sugar substitutes. Anyone know how many syns per teaspoon? Thanks for any info

The Beck Diet Solution is a brilliant book for helping you to think before you eat. Needing food to deal with pain in our lives makes long term dieting so difficult because there is always more pain. I have no answers just a lot of empathy.

I support the people advocating freedom of speech and in particular the person who said this is not the official SW site.It seems to me after nearly 2 years of reading posts that there is usually an intelligent discussion when tweaks are posted re pros and cons and it is vital that people can be...

Thank you Circes I thought it was a N.Ireland thing.Will do as you say re the calorie count. Regards Endgame

I don't know if these are just found in Northern Ireland but can anyone tell me how many syns in one ? Thanks

I am also really hungry this week but I think it is because I am so cold and want to eat to feel warm inside,comfort food etc. Have stuck to free foods but just eating loads.Feel bloated but comforted .

Thanks Chubby-Chels and Zola for your positivity. The information you have posted Zola is very interesting and seems realistic.Thanks for going to all that effort. I am going to concentrate on reducing my body fat further,starting to do some weights and eating more protein to try and build...

I have really saggy skin on my inner thighs and underarms after losing 3 stone and it is depressing. I am guessing its because I'm in my mid fifties and have been dieting all my life and no elasticity now in my skin. I had dreamt that this might be the year I would finally wear a swimsuit on the...

Yes,makes sense to me too.

I know it sounds bad but I am so glad its all over. I am exhausted running round after family and eating cr*p. I am so happy to be back in my own routine today and in sw mode which feels like "normal" to me now.I just don't feel good eating the old way any more (even though I planned it for...

I am so grateful to have this board to return to.I'm in too.

Hil Thanks so much for your wise reply . I know that every word you say is true and I am going to examine my thinking big time and get perspective on things again.And yes,be kinder to myself. Hope you have a great Christmas.

I am feeling all over the place at the moment and wonder can anyone relate to this. I have lost over three stone and I get compliments from friends and family and especially OH but instead of feeling good about this, I feel terrified inside.I have lost weight like this before, though not as...

Thanks everyone for replys.interesting and valid observations.Normally stay to class and was dying to ask others but of all nights had to leave straight away.Will ask next week and dont have a problem accepting it may just be me.
