How many syns when under 10 stone?

[Croc]

Hi everyone,

As some of you may know, I have been struggling to lose anything for a few months now. My C recently suggested that I should drop down to 10 syns a day, as 5-10 is the recommended amount for people under 10 stone- even though I am still hovering at arond 10st 10lb to 10st 11lb, so technically I shouldn't need to do that yet!


I had a bit of a mardy to be honest after being told this and I told the C that I'm not sure I'd be able to do this long term as my 15 syns a day are what keeps me going and make this plan do-able! :cry:

Has anyone else been told this or tried this if they are under or near 10 stone?

You've lost me a bit to be honest, you say you're struggling lately to loose weight and when your consultant advises you to cut down on your syns you have a mardy about it!

I'm under ten stone and my consultant hasn't mentioned this to me and I use 15 syns a day. If I say I'm struggling, my consultant advises to write everything down and up the amount of superfree foods I eat.Hope this helpsClare

Upping the superfree foods is always a good place to start and if that isn't working cutting down on syns would be the next thing to do!

Hi vanilla_cupcake,

I know what you're saying, I just meant it more in the way that it has never been mentioned before that I would EVER have to drop down that low in syns. I started SW 17 months ago, and liked everything I was told about the plan, including the amount of syns you could have etc. and was told I would always be able to have a max of 15 syns and still lose, so I feel a little 'cheated' that's all. I just feel like SW have the moved the goalpost a bit! I'm still 'following' the plan correctly by having 15 syns per day, so it should still work shouldn't it?

I could drop the syns occasionally if that's what it took to get moving again, but I'd struggle beyond that and start to feel deprived

If that's what I have to do to lose again then so be it, but looking at the other replies that have already come in from my post, I don't think I should have to do this really.

I have always loved SW and don't want to have to try another 'diet plan', I really want this to continue working for me.

Have you tried upping your superfree?

 

[Croc]

Have you tried upping your superfree?

Yes I have, to the point where I would say it was at least half of my overall daily food intake. It's a bit baffling isn't it (unless it's just the issue with too many syns)? Hmmmmmm...

It's sounding like that! :sigh: cut down to 12 syns and see how you go with that! Are you doing EE?

I think that would be a good idea actually, it's not too drastic that way!

I did just EE for the first 15 months or so, but have recently started doing Red days too on the advice of my C to see if this helped, but it's not really made any difference to weight loss to be honest, although I do really enjoy Red days I must admit! He he

I was going to suggest trying Red, what about Green have you tried that or would you miss meat too much? Have you done a food diary in the diary section for people to have a look at and see maybe if you could make some changes?

I think I'd find green too hard- I love meat!! I'm going to get a decent weeks diary put together and submit it on the Diary section to let everyone have a look and make suggestions.

Thanks for all your help and suggestions

Also do you have the same HE's every day? If so try and swap them about and give your body a shock to help kick start it

I always use my HEXA on skimmed milk as I love drinking tea throughout the day. Occasionally my HEXB changes, but I have to admit, I'm in the habit of having 2 x slices of wholemeal bread from either a Warburtons 400g loaf or WW wholemeal.

I sound really boring don't I?! :sigh:

My A is always milk and my B's are usually bread and a Kellogg's Fibre Plus bar, are you having 2 HE's of A & B?

 

[rjg123]

Just a thought but have you reached your natural target weight? Are you at a healthy BMI? Your body may have stabilized for a reason.

Sorry, am accessing this on my mobile and it doesnt show user weights and info.

I have 1 x A and 1 x B when on an EE day, but try and have 2 of each when on a Red day.

My BMI is over 27 still and I have been much lighter than this in the past. I hope my body doesn't want to stay at this weight!

My consultant mentioned this at group last week. Someone said "I think I have to many syns" and our C said "you don't need to cut your syns down until you're 10st or under". Sorry I can't offer any advice other than what has been said but wanted you to know I had heard it to

If you don't want to do it, then don't. You said in your original post that your consultant suggested it - but you are not obliged to follow her suggestion.
