Be Fab for Feb - Slimming World support thread 2017

No need to syn the little tablet sweetners. It's only the granulated sweetner which needs to be synned and only if you use it in Tablespoons, it's 0.5 syns per Tbs. It's mainly if you use it in recipes.

2lbs off
Happy with that as I stuck 100% to plan. Only thing I did different was to have a weekly allowance for syns . My allowance was 70 which allowed me a bit of flexibility and worked for me.

Now, I know that this is a 'after the horse has bolted' scenario but had lunch out at morrisons unexpectedly today.
I did not choose wisely , I will admit, however, if anyone on here would be kind enough to look on the SW app to see how much syn damage there is in a cheese and bacon toastie I would be grateful. I have estimated 35 .
But have purely plucked that figure from nowhere!

:T well done on the 2lbs. I'm glad the weekly syn bank worked for you. Denise and I do it all the time as do many others.


Oh no you didn't! I know 70 + 35 = 105!!:rotfl:


Actually you didn't guess badly, it's 37.5 syns.:eek: Hope you enjoyed it.


Next time have fish and chips. That's only 24!

This query and response actually made me laugh out loud for real so thanks for that. Who would have thought that a cheese and bacon toastie could be more syns than a portion of fish and chips? Well done for your loss Toomuch.

Well done to all the losers - Wiz, Tweets, ilovetoshop, whiplash, Cazza, and summerlady and great NSV Mrs Ryan - is wood classed as Free or Speed? :rotfl:

At least it used to be Free but now I suppose it needs to be synned @ 1.5 syns for the lot (now SW expect people to syn sweetner)

On the Pinch of Nom website, wherever sweetener is used they state that the new ruling only applies to each serving, so if your normal serving of lemon curd is a spoonful, you wouldn't need to syn it. If you eat the whole jar in one sitting, you do.

I can't remember the name, sorry, but someone mentioned that sweetner now needs to be synned :eek: Haven't been syning it and I use it multiple times a day! I use the little tablet clicker ones. What should I be syning them as?

Don't worry, it's only granular sweetener that's changed, you can still have sweetener tablets in your tea and coffee.

Have a good week everyone.

morning all

I'm back after a lovely weekend away at the rugby - that probably tells you al you need to know about how many syns I consumed over the weekend!

Today
B: muller light yogurt and lots of speed fruit
L: turkey salad with lots of speed
Salmon, veg and potatoe wedges.
Snacks: plums and carrot sticks
HEA Milk HEB Scan bran

I'm getting through the 5 scan bran OK though my oh my do they "help things along!"

I'm a tired lady this morning and its cold and icy here as well.


Sorry to hear work is a pain Shala.


Glad to hear you had a chat with your friend Kathryn. Keep your chin up!


So after my half a lb loss on Saturday going to try really hard to get a half decent loss this week.


Enjoyed the gym on Saturday, hoping to get again today after work. We are having roast chicken leftovers with stir fry veg and noodles so it wont take me long to make that tonight.


There is no amount of coffee in the world today can bring me round. Hoping that 5pm comes quickly.

Cold and bright here this morning but no frost. We don't often get frost because of being so close to the sea, although we do get the sea breezes even when it's not windy in the town!

I also had a chuckle about the fish & chips being less syns than the cheese toastie! Know what I'd rather have, LOL!

Another EE day today:

B - bacon & mushroom toasted sandwich, 3 syns for butter
L - either tuna salad or carrot & lentil soup - depends what DH would rather have - still need to ask him as will need to make the soup
D - LO gammon, egg, chips, beans, pickles

HEA - milk as usual
HEB - bread
Syns - butter 3

Morning all,

+1lb for me this week - I've really not been in the zone since Christmas, lots of bits and pieces in syns slipping through the net.

Also wanting to eat everything in sight, I think the cat is afraid to come near me in case she ends up on a plate...mind you if she doesn't stop picking on the dog, she could well end up as dinner :eek:. He is very tolerant even when she robs his bed, toys and traps him in corners but she really did push her luck when she tried to steal his food - the dog weighs 50kgs and she weighs 3!!! At least it amuses my neighbour when he hears shout at the cat to leave the bl00dy dog alone

Morning all, lost 4.8lbs this week which is blowing my mind really! Determined to keep going - have 5 weeks till my 30th and if I keep losing a lbs a week then I'll be back to my wedding weight by then, and then it's just onwards and downwards to target before Florida in October.

Hope you've all had a good weekend, I'm just trying to keep plodding on!
