Loving Syns on-line....

[Bumblebum]

I joined a SW class on thursday after a couple of weeks going it alone (and using this forum of course!)

They gave me a password for the on-line doodah and I honestly thought I wouldn't use it.

BUT I have just spent an enjoyable hour (yes, I know how to live on a saturday!) going through my cupboard and checking syns. HUGELY surprised. Things I was avoiding aren't actually as bad as I thought they were (ie m&S pastry tartlets...only 6 syns...instead of creme patissiere I can fill them with natural yoghurt and loads of fruit!!)

I would recommend anyone who has password etc to use the facility...its really enlightening. For instance...was entering some sausage and as I was putting in figures I thought My GOD thats a lot of fat! Hence the 12.5 syns per sausage!!!!

Sorry if rambling, just impressed and wanted to share

I love it too! Just wish they had a mobile application for my BlackBerry then I could check things whilst out and about on the go! Loading up the full website to my phone takes AGES

Thats the only thing that lets it down. When i did weight watchers years ago i used to walk round Tesco with my points calculator

Definatly need an app for the Iphone or Blackberry

I'm going to make it my personal mission that we get one! SW needs to get itself into the 21st Century in my ideal world you'd be able to scan an item using your phone and it would tell you how many Syns it was

I know what you mean i'm always on the site too so handy! Loads of nice recipes also xx

I checked the old featsers burgers that I used to get EVERY time they were on offer for a quick tea, I used to get the flame grilled burger with cheese XL bite and was surprised that they were 30½ syns each!! Sometimes I would have TWO and I'd have them sometimes 2-3 times a week!!

I'm so glad that I can leave those beehind and make my own huge burgers now and freeze them so I can just cook it up.

Its all about wise food choices

I'm another one who loves it and I use it every day. I love the other features too recipes etc....

 

[Bumblebum]

Glad to hear its not just me becoming a bit addicted

I think the app thing is a valid point - I often wander round the supermarket spotting things but don't want to buy them until I know the syns. Then by the time I get home I've already forgotton what it was I was going to look up!!!
