The thing I find is that the syns have changed over the last couple of years so the books that me and my mother have collected over the last 6/7 years are, for a large part, out of date. I'm a great lover of the website - aside from the lack of forum.
I've often wondered why they don't introduce a forum onto the website.
They used to have a forum on the SW site many years ago but closed it down virtually overnight because it was unmoderated and they were worried about people giving duff information.

Yeah, I only found minimins on Mon and already find it invaluable. Already found some new recipes and is great for finding out syns on the move (the slimming world website doesn't work on my phone - too much data) I've always found slimming world better than ww, for me at least, but they're no where near as up on the uses of the internet. Ww has apps, points calculators and a forum, if slimming world had that it would be perfect :-D
Yeah, definitely, its nice to be able to speak to people midweek as well, get a bit more motivation.
I really would have thought they would have given you an "on-line consultant" but from what I can see that doesn't seem to be the case??
aliscrapper said:Yes it's always mid-week that the enthusiasm starts to dwindle isn't it! lol! - is like having a class to dip into the resources of 24/7!
That's true, there is no 1 to 1 personal support just generic image therapy messages when you weigh in.
My weigh in tomorrow. Yikes. Lol.
aliscrapper said:Good luck for weigh in! Let me know how you get on! I've got weigh in Tuesday morning and am already started to get anxious about it!
Thanks, I will do. I'm 50/50 on my weigh in tomorrow, I've optimised but been at the top end of syns all week BUT been to the gym a lot. Being top end of syns may mean sts and gym could mean cancelling that out but still sts. All very confusing. Lol.
It's so frustrating when all your hard efforts don't show up at weigh in! I can eat the same two weeks and lose one week and gain the next!:cry:
I've never tried the same menu twice, maybe I should try that. Lol. There are so many things that can affect weight loss, I just go along with how I feel and this week I feel a million times better than last so hopefully the scales won't matter (I hope they don't anyway!!)
