I still have an issue with portion control. And the free carbs just don't work for me. Just waiting for something to hopefully 'click'. Down is down though! Any loss is better than none.

I've only been doing SW for less than 3 weeks, but at the weekend I tried on a dress that I'd bought online but didnt fit me, but I'd decided to keep as it wasn't a mile off. It now zips up no problem without me looking like a squashes sausage! Cannot wait to be able to wear the half of my wardrobe that doesnt fit

I'll get there even though I'm a bad slimmer, I drink more than I should, I cut corners, I didn't have a few off plan days I had a few off plan months! But ultimately I'm only human and if it wasn't going to be a struggle I wouldn't need to join in the first place!

SarahMollie wrote: » Hi Betsy, working out syns is not my forte so I'll leave that to the others but one thing I'd say is that its really important on SW to try to eat real foods where you can and save your syns! There are tonnes of syn free breakfast options, and then lots of others using your HexB allowance. If you're trying to get your head around SW, then thats the first things I'd try to do - eat real, whole foods as much as possible as likely they'll be free The only time I have syns for breakfast is at the weekends when I make myself a bacon and egg sandwich with by HexB bread and maybe 1-2 syns for some ballymaloe relish/ketchup. Or another one I like is the baked oats, so 1/2 syn for baking powder and my 40g of oats using my hexB. During the week I eat a lot of 0% natural yogurt and fruit as I can bring it to work in my handbag, or I make scrambled eggs in the microwave before I leave home (super quick) and then bring fruit wtih me for speed.

Deleted User wrote: » Is it? I don't see how it's any different from eating quinoa normally as I'd eat the same amount cooked without milk! I got the recipe from a SW recipe blog and there was no mention of it being a tweak on there! That's one thing I don't like about SW- I don't go to a group just have the book and follow a few groups/recipe plans online but there seems to be so many conflicting opinions online about certain things being allowed or not, seems like a lot of the consultants either aren't trained the same or have their own opinions and treat these as SW canon!
