    Was anyone else told that when they changed the consistency of bananas in SW they became syns???

    Yes, if you mash things etc it changes apparently but I was also told that if by doing this, it doesn't affect you, then go for it!

    i'd guess its just a processing thing, along the same lines of GI - the more you do to it before you eat it, the less calories you use up digesting it and so the calories it contains are proportionally more (does that make any sense?!)
    i can never think of anything witty to write :rolleyes:

    I'm just being a wuss and trying to avoid the humiliation of getting weighed anywhere vaguely public :embarasse

    I'm home this weekend, so I can have my first weigh in on saturday, which is a little bit early, but at least it will giv me an idea! And hopefully I'll have come up with a solution (or some courage!!) by wednesday:undecided!

    k x
    I thought that and i have a lot to lose compared to some of the people in the class that i go to..... But i decided to go to one first thing in the morning whcih for me is fab as i dont have to starve all day!! i think it is much more of a relaxed class than some of the evening ones i have been to.
    Once you have stepped through that door you will know you have done the right thing...... but like you said its having the courage to walk through it!
    Mind you on the slimming world website you can work out what you can and cant eat and find out the same on there as going to a class.. theres even an online food diary which does the adding up of things for you.... just need to weigh every week to chart your progress. Good luck in whatever you decide though

    I have others which I will post when I've made and tested. I have made some before and they've been horrible. I must admit, if I'd known it had chickpeas in it I wouldn't have tried it but OBVIOUSLY glad I did
