i get weighed in 10am thursday and treat myself to the things i've been craving for rest of week, that way it doesn't feel like i'm missing out (can be as much as lunch out, chocolate and takeaway in evening!!!!!). I don't syn this but stick to about 10 syns a day for rest of week. It's not affected my losses to date but as i get closer i'm sure my weight loss will slow right down and then i'll have to think about cutting down a bit!
