    DOING SW FROM HOME???

    I usually use between 10-15 syns each day, I have gone over the 15 a couple of times as well but only once a week. I was always of the impression that the minimum each day should be 5 as it all helps with the weight loss and it the plan doesn't seem to work as well if you have none or try to...

    I've found with sw if I don't eat enough I don't lose anything, wks when I eat absolutely loads (sometimes using flexible syns) and think I've lost nothing I usually lose the most! I haven't tried doing green or red days tho I stick with extra easy. Hope ur week is still going well ? Sue
