    does anyone else struggle to get their syns in?

    Me.I have only used 8.5 syns per week on both weeks I've done the plan so far.The only reason I hit 8.5 was by forcing myself to have a 2 finger kit kat and then I felt really guilty afterwards! I'm starting a search for things that I really like that I can use as syns but finding it really hard...

    Any quitters?

    Does lots of exercise lead to no losses??

    I spoke with two ladies also on SW today at the swimming pool.We started discussing what each of us was doing to try to aid the weight loss and when I told them about my new exercise regime they both said that the more exercise you do the less you see it on the scales because you're turning fat...

    very controversial I'd say

    Yep the side effects of orlistat if you do eat anything with high fat content are awful! And tbh I barely lost anything whilst on them either :p
  127. H

    very controversial I'd say

    I was considering asking for orlistat again because I was prescribed it last year by my GP..but couldn't really see the point as what I'm eating is so low in fat already.I'll be watching this thread with interest!!

    Is it normal to feel SO full ALL the time?

    Hmmmm Maybe I AM eating too much..but only of the superfree stuff.Like for dinner I had a salmon fillet with 4 new potatoes and then literally filled my plate with mangetout/babycorn/spinach/runner beans/asparagus.Is that ok???Or should I watch out for over eating on the SF's too?
  152. H

    Is it normal to feel SO full ALL the time?

    Ok I know I'm only on day 4 of extra easy but so far the one thing that really stands out is I feel full all the time and have no hunger pangs.I've checked and double checked and I'm pretty certain I'm doing it right.If anything I'm filling my plate with at least half of superfree foods rather...
