sw website

[debtdummy]

does anyone use it to record the food they have had or is there an app or other form i can use,

I did the online sw diary for a few days then got bored lol.

 

[debtdummy]

yeah i was thinking that might happen, but writing down what i ate lost interest for me, i would rather find it online and do it or on ipod

Hi there
I do SW online and I love the diary -I haven't missed a day yet -no excuse for me "forgetting" things that way. I sit first thing in a morning and plan what Im having for the day -then I know what i have to look forward to, and what healthy extras or syns I have left to use up.

 

[debtdummy]

thanks i have typed in todays food so far , tonight is bbq so will sit here trying to plan that

how dumb am I didn't even know you could use sw online to record your food diary, makes no odds to me i am addicted to my minimins food diary but have to admit keeping track every day does stop you from "forgetting" to note your complete food/drink intake

wouldn't an app for syn values be great

yeah theres a WW point calculator app for phones. it uses the camera on your mobile to scan the barcode on any product and it tells you how many points is in it. Was saying to my hubby that someone ought to make a SW one so i can walk around the shops with it!

Youre kidding!! Any idea what its called

 

[Karen]

ummm... it has to be an android phone. You go to the market section on android. The application is free and is called 'WWCalcUK'. Someone will make an SW one eventually, Im sure. (well, i hope!)

 

[Starlight]

Awww thats a shame, sounds brilliant, shame its not an iphone app

 

[Karen]

you might be able to find an app on there... i dunno anything about all this high tech malarky to be honest. twas my hubby who showed me and I was all dumbfounded at how out of touch I am.... lol. I kept looking at phone saying 'but how does it know?'...

 

[donnajt]

Is there a SW syn calculator - like the WW one? that's what I need, who has got the time to search thru that syn directory, the print is so small, and unless you have mobile internet you can't check things in the supermarket!

 

[debtdummy]

there is an app but its not very good, i wish there was a decent one

 

[loungelizard]

I'm trying to get into the habit of adding things to my shopping list on the SW site then the syns are easy to find.

 

[donnajt]

SNAP! I've started doing that too - also bought a book to record all my favourite SW recipes

I go round Tesco with Internet phone logged in to SW syns online, god knows what i look like whilst just standing staring at a product whilst im waiting for it to load on my phone, but is useful for looking at different products ( if it wont load i just write down what it is look it up at home and buy next week if ok)

The diary is so clunky and slow imo I'd far rather be able to jot it down on paper.

 

[debtdummy]

ive got all sw cookbooks most of them ok

Is anyone else starting to find the articles on the website a bit pointless? Worse is that it seems to be getting more and more advertising based - last week there was a survey on flavours you might like for the Dairylea Deli range, and its still there this week. Plus this weeks so called "picnic tips" is little more than an advert for Muller light yoghurts!

There are so many ways this website could be better - i-phone/android apps, better presented syns directory, but there seems to be little likelihood of it ever being exploited fully.
