I WILL lose 6 stone! :)
I'm not recommending it per say, I'm just saying it works for me
I always count the syns I spend on wine, so over the week I never go over my allowance. Some people on here are against taking syns as a weekly allowance, but I don't care, it works for me. SW has to fit in with my lifestyle otherwise I couldn't do it. It's done me no harm - I've lost 1 stone 12.5lb in about 8-9 weeks Mind I've got a fair bit to lose! lolA bottle of red wine is 24 syns, but if you can drink the low alchohol ones (5% I think) they are 12 syns so I'm told
Depends what you like to drink really SW doesn't endorse the weekly syn thing before anyone jumps on me! :8855:

4. You can’t save your Syns up for a night out at the weekend!
Yes, you can! If you really want to – and you feel really confident that by depriving yourself of Syns for some or most of the week, you’ll be able to enjoy your night out knowing that you’ve stayed within your week’s Syns – go ahead.
If missing out all week feels difficult… and especially if you’re worried about ‘blowing it’ part way through, the alternative is to stay flexible with your Syns. Your weight loss may be a tiny bit slower, although in the long term you could actually achieve a greater weight loss because you avoid those feelings of deprivation. What’s more, with flexible Syns, you could eat healthily and happily for the rest of your life and keep your weight off for good!

I'd never bothered looking or finding out for sure, as I had no intention of changing what I was doing lol That's one in the eye for the preaching brigade :giggle:

Was quite good last night. We went out and I took no money so it was left to DH to get my drinks. He is a tight arse so only buys me small ones so I kept within my Syn limit for 2 days (no syns Friday) I feel very pleased with myself!

Bless me for I have over synned!!! Mr PD came home with a couple of bottles of the low alcohol wine for me, then some friends turned up with a couple of bottles of fizz and it was a lovely warm afternoon/evening in our garden with the chimnea going....ended up drinking both bottles of the low alcohol, a large glass of pink fizz and a couple of vodka soda and limes......the low alcohol does mean that I have avoided a nasty hangover this morning....but I am once again scuppered by my social life!!! Really wanted to see what difference no alcohol would make this week!!

I am sat here with my booze free Saturday night halo on lol. Oh wait, that would be because I'm working all weekend!!!
Next social evening for me is Thursday, my friend is coming to dinner. She's still umming and ahhing about driving, so if she drives, it's all good for me as there will be no bad influence.

Still going strong with no wine for Lent. Just going to tell everyone that for my Easter present I would like some pinot grigio. just kidding, would be a terrible idea to have bottles of it lying around! However I will definitely be having a glass or seven on easter evening...!

I was considering what to give up, and the boyfriend just went: "Wine? Yeah, right, never going to happen" and sort of snorted, and I was like, RIGHT, I'll show you! Haha. So this will shut him up. I just felt I'd been doing really well with motivation and will power recently (gave up smoking for new years', haven't had a puff in 10 weeks) and SW, so thought why not try this!
