Hi Blinkybonk,
how are you finding it? It can be quite hard to go from CC to SW as on CC you watch everything you put in your mouth, are you finding it hard to adapt to being able to eat as much free food as you like? Your food is looking good though x

 

[BinkyBonk]

Hi Barbette *Waves*

I thought i would find it hard but i really trust the plan so have thrown myself in 100% and decided not to worry and it definitely worked my first week =)

I much prefer this method as I am not constantly panicking and working out the calories, i just stick to the right foods, the bf has decided to do the plan with me, he started Monday and is enjoying the meals so far and has lost about 2 1/2lbs in four days but he has found it harder to stick to the Syns x

Ok thanks. I was trying to get my hands on some low syn popcorn so might have to pop into sainsburys. Only really like salted tho, wish they wouldn't always be multipacks.

Could you buy a big bag of popcorn and weigh it out to get a low Syn portion as and when you fancy some? X

I'm going away this weekend and going to a theatre, I would always normally grab some popcorn, chocolates or icecream and since my friends will probably do this I wanted to get some low syn popcorn to take along. I'll either get a multipack one and take along the salted popcorn or take some crisps instead. I have tried a few favours of popcorn that have been ok, but don't like sweet at all. Could always take some I don't like into work, they would get eaten.
