    Do you have your Syns?

    SW don't recommend it and i've never tried it, but i think it makes sense. realistically most people like a treat at the weekend but don't struggle to eat healthily during the week. this is how most people who don't have weight problems eat, so i think we should be allowed to officially on SW.

    saturday night snacks

    i'm thinking of making syn free houmous....that would be nice for dipping.

    Do you have your Syns?

    i have between 10 and 15 a day but am 100% with measuring syns. i never guess.
  107. M

    Do you have your Syns?

    i don't lose if i have a low amount of syns. hate to think what would happen if i went syn-free all week! why not add something daily that you enjoy? ie chocolate bar, glass of wine with dinner, etc.

    Learning to drive automatic v manual?

    I would learn in a manual. Then once you pass you can drive auto or manual cars whereas if you learn in an auto then you're stuck with autos and it's an added expense to take another test for manual. Its surprising how quickly you pick it all up.

    ::mOd-kArEn79's DiArY::

    sorry taz - i've never done fast forward. i've only ever done success express a few times. i think nannyjax did a thread on fast forward explaining everything so if you search it it may pop up.

    night eating disorder..

    totally agree with you on this one. parents need to take responsibilty for their kids. i can see where i've learnt my eating habits from and i respond to my emotions by turning to food. i've also learnt to eat massive portions from my parents and i was a slim child who ate smaller portions...

    Lovelyboyfriend- how much support do you have?

    i have a dad like that too! he never asks me how much i've lost, but last week i came in from post christmas class "so how much did you put on then?" i told him to sod off! he's not very good at making his point. most people would initiate a conversation about something to see what your...

    Lovelyboyfriend- how much support do you have?

    i just read this out to my boyfriend and he said "oh cool, i'll be quids in then when you pile the weight back on!" lol VERY SUPPORTIVE!!! not! he does make me laugh though - cheeky sh*t! ....and last year when i did SW i was putting £2 in for every pound i lost and he was taking the money...

    Has anyone ever found SW scales to be wrong?

    all scales vary. i have digital scales at home and my weight changes by a good 5lbs if i move them half a cm! the scales at my GP surgery are rubbish and the nurses ones look like they're from the 1950's! so i wouldn't rely on them. having said that i had definately lost once and weighed-in...

    2011 - Whats in store for you

    it is lovely - the scenery around that area is beautiful. we'll probably go in july or september. i prefer september as the sea is warmer but i'd go now given half a chance! oh and september is good as i will have lost more weight by then! :)

    a New Years day insult !!

    it was very hurtful at the time. however, i'm ok about it now. it was just one of those things. i was never meant to hear/read it. i understand that most people have a little b*tch behind others backs - it's human nature, but when it's someone you genuinely like it's awful!

    ::mOd-kArEn79's DiArY::

    was just thinking about the fruit we have in. our satsumas have shrivelled and all that's left is a pineapple and a few pomegranates! so i'm gonna chop them up for brekkie :)

    a New Years day insult !!

    i was on facebook last week and 2 male ex-colleagues, in their 40's, were online posting music. i've always had really good banter with them both and one had noticed i was online. i got a chat message saying "watch out fat karen's online. she'll probably start giving us grief about our music" i...

    Would you like to be in the magazine?

    i wouldn't mind. i'd take it to the newspapers instead! lol ....bigger audience ;)
  238. M

    Would you like to be in the magazine?

    i'd do it. i'd never reveal my stats now, but if i lost 10 stone i'd LOVE to be able to say this is what i used to weigh...can you believe it? no neither can i! :D i'd love to wield it for the camera and tell them that i changed my life not SW!

    What have you done with the Xmas goodies?

    we still have a tin of chocs, 2 boxes of shortbread, 3 tins of biscuits, large bag of peanuts and other bits! i ate all my chocolates over christmas - quickly on quickly off is my moto! everything left my mum and boyfriend can eat between them. it's all in the dining room and i never go in...

    Lou's Diary - onwards and inwards!

    that sounds like way too much effort for me lou! :D besides i only do green and i'm not that keen on some of SW recipes. someone has written to this months mag asking for more green recipes and they're doing it in the next issue...... so gonna keep my eyes peeled for that one!

    Help...please

    i can really identify with what you've said. i know SW works, but i was struggling over the past few years and dabbling with Celebrity Slim, which restricts carbs. then i did SW and was still thinking in a Celeb Slim way and it didn't work. the best thing to do is test SW out. on your first...

    Amy's EE Weightloss Journey :)

    definately. some B's differ for red and green also - ie you can have measured meat as a green B and measured wholemeal past/potato with skin on as a red B, so worth checking.

    Extra Easy help!

    i don't think it will ruin it. i 1/3 superfree is recommended for optimum weightloss. you'll still probably lose - don't panic! :) have a fruit salad for supper ;)

    Does fruit make you hungry?

    i think it is the high water content and low natural sugar content. ie grapes have high natural sugar content which is why they're not speed fruit.

    Extra Easy help!

    baked beans aren't superfree - they're superspeed. superfree have to be free on green and red to qualify as superfree.
