Hey, I started Slimming world last Wednesday. I have 2stone 6 and half to loose, my little boy was playing up while she was trying to explain everything to me so rushed through it. I came home and read the books she gave me etc. But I seem to be ending every day on between 10 - 15 syns. Is this right or wrong? Should I go for less syns? Will it speed up my weight loss?

I'm not on slimming world but wanted to say hello. Good luck with your target!

Hello hunny!

Everyone seems different. Only advice I ever heard was not to aim for 0 syns every day. I aimed for 5-10 per day although sometimes less, I'm naughty weekends so Mondays were always extra good ha! I tried to avoid using my syns for breads and cereals though ...

Took me a while to get the SW plan into my head but as soon as it is it clicks straight away and you wonder what was so confusing x

yeah i am avoiding using them for bread and cereal as well. I think I will cut down on what i am synning and eat more free foods!!

Hi Gemma! Good luck with Slimming World

I personally didn't see pasta, rice and potatoes as free, total moderation without needing to syn is the way I viewed them x

I try to limit pasta etc, as I feel over full when eating them. I meant fruit and veg x

It was just a random input To get rid of my gain and be at my last taregt I set before things went mad I'm about 2 stone to get rid of like you. We can do it

we can! I get weighed tomorrow :/

Ooooo let us know how you get on
