There is already a sticky for FAQs new to extra easy etc.

There are also sub forums for things like recipe ideas, syn values food diaries etc.

There's also a really good search facility (and some message boards dont have one at all, so we should appreciate it!) that might help you find things you are looking for.

I dont mean to sound like I'm nagging - but if you take a few minutes to browse around the various areas of the site you will probably find places where lots of your questions have already been answered, or where people are already posting food diaries etc in one place

If you are new to the site I appreciate it takes some time to get used to it - but on the other side of the coin, regulars are seeing the same questions coming up over and over again which have been answered so many times (and I'm a relative newbie myself!)

Sorry if I sound whiny, its just if the folder structures arent used, then whats the point?
 
Ah Mandy you beat me to it!!
i was going to say this is turning into a syn value request thread!!

There is a fab thread called "from here to eternally slim" which is for support and there are food diary sections too where people can check over your daily food!
 
Thanks for all the info on the syns, yeh I will move onto there. I do have a diary and will take this off and move it to there. I will stick to that. no more quesions I promise :) Sorry oviously a forum dummy....

If you want to get anything moved you could ask a mod. Personally I'd just leave this for now and then ask in the sub forums in the future :)

Lots of people accidentally post questions in the wrong part of the board, you're not a dummy, you just need to get used to the layout
