You've not dreamed it up Maman, the official line is if you don't have the whole Healthy Extra, you should syn what you do have.

As someone else sugested, it's mainly to ensure that people do have their HE's - after all, it's not all about losing weight, it's about getting (and staying) healthy!

Thanks for clarifying that. I have had mine every day but will make a note to be even more pedantic about them!:p Maman, you were correct :j

I find it very strange that out of the numerous consultants i have had - none of them have mentioned this! Even when joining a brand new class - she has never mentioned synning healthy extras if you haven't had them all

So i am correct in saying that if i had 28g of porridge but forgot to eat the scan bran that you should have with it - i would have to syn the porridge? or if i have 3 extra light laughing cow instead of the 6 i should have - i should syn this aswell? What about if the above happens in one day - would i have to syn the above & have 'proper' healthy extras?

I have always gone on the stance that if i haven't eaten all my healthy extras - tough sort of thing for example, i sometimes only have 1 alpen light & don't have room for the other or i don't have all my milk & don't fancy drinking the rest!

I find this very strange indeed! Especially as it is not mentioned in the books!

Sorry for rant - i just don't understand!


So yesterday i ended up with 9.5 syns (not including for part the healthy extra of milk!)

Happy today - going out tonight & i got a letter from tax man last night - with a cheque for £732 :eek: and a letter a couple of weeks ago from company saying i will be getting £212 back in this months pay :eek:

Zumba tomorrow yay :T

Made a nice mexican bean soup last night - but it was missing something - didn't have much of a kick - but i did load it with herbs & spices! :think:

Anyway - better get back to work!

WELL DONE everyone xxx

DOH! Wish i had remembered about my chunks of aero before having that curly wurly. So that makes yesterday 11 syns - arg! Not happy but what can I do.

Good luck to anyone who has weigh in

Oh, forgot to ask - for the Zumba fans - would you class it as high impact? I am guessing so.

Nessie I agree with everything you've said - I find it strange it's never been explained but am sure consultant knows her stuff.

If I hadn't been reading this thread, there's quite a lot I wouldn't know so thanks to you all for that

Zumba - it can be high or low impact - depending on how much you jump around - i can't jump that high (i would get black eyes IYSWIM :eek:) but try to keep up & bounce along as much as i can without damaging myself

Think of it as dancing - impact depends how fast you go - if that makes any sense!

Morning Folks



Not a happy Dizzy here

:mad:


WI last night........ANOTHER 1lb GAIN!!!!!


Really peeved.....really reallllly peeved :mad: (particulary as I said nooooo!!! to all the temptations at mums last week )

I'm going to take the Tefal Actifry & shove it up the PMT fairies Bums!!!:o
I did actually do a food diary this week as I was not at home & on Green days all week at mums until Monday night, So I've left it with my Consultant to look at and I'm just waiting for her to E'mail me, But I really think that Greens all the time really don't seem to agree with me (this happened a few weeks ago & I assumed it was the bread I was eating)
Pity really as I really am Carb craving with sodding PMT Grrrrrr

Righteo I'l be back in a bit when I've sorted my head out & had a hormonal fight with myself :rotfl: x x

maman

That's a real bu**er dizzy (insert consonants of choice;)).

I know it seems very illogical zippy and I must admit to finding some of the 'mystique' around SW very frustrating at times. I'm not one of those who can treat it like magic, I need logical explanations. I console myself by accepting that there probably are logical explnations but SW wants to keep quiet about them as it's a money-making organisation.

As for the synning HEs, when I said that it was the official line I didn't say that I did it!:D I've never eaten a scan bran in my life and don't intend to. So if it's a 2 part HEB, for example, I ignore the bit I don't want. This isn't often as mostly I have bread which doesn't need any weighing.

Lost 6lbs at weigh in on monday and so far so good this week so far. It's my sons 16th on Monday though and celebrations start this weekend so i'm hoping I can stick with it without indulging

Have a great weekend.

Be good.
