[l0v3child]

Not everything, some things have a free food allowence. But for treat foods its a pretty much correct

Do you have a home bargains or quality save? Stowells are in there for a couple of pound. Other than that most supermarkets have a light wine for under a fiver. x

Yes I have both, thanks a lot x

Do any of you guys out there know what the syn value for perry (aka cheap wine with only 7.5%) is this classed as low alcohol wine or different?

Cant even find a calorie content to try and work it out!

 

[RavenGypsy]

Its Peralini, not the most top class! Looking at the money side of things I think it will be cheaper and less syns to buy vodka nd diet drinks!

Anyone know the syn value of Gordons Sloe Gin, I assume that it would probably be more than normal gin?

How many cals? Would use the 20 cal / 1 syn ratio for this one....

I used slimming world app on my phone.
Gordons sloe gin
35ml is 4 syns
25ml is 2.5 syns

Interestingly the one below was the gin and slimline tonic can which is 5 syns for 330ml (which I assume is a can)

I like using my syns to have an alcoholic drink, gone try martini now I know you can have 50ml for 2.5syns, most spirits tend to be 25ml for 2.5syns, going to have it with diet lemonade in a tall glass to make it a long drink. My fave beverage is cider but its 14 syns for 568ml bottle.

Nice to hear sloe gin is no different to most over spirits.
I had a flexi syn evening and have 10 double Dark rums and diet coke for 50 syns.

I have a bottle of Banrock Station Light, 5.5%. It says on the bottle 60 cals per 125ml glass, isn't regular wine 4 syns for the same?? The SW book guide says, light wine is 1.5 per 125ml.. ??? If light wine works out 3 per 125, and regular is 4 for the same, sod it, I want the full fat wine!

Well for me its 2.5 syns less as its 6 for 175 Rose and 3.5 for the 175 of the light one I drink. I can have 2 glasses of one or 4 of the other so I know which I would choose x

Depending on how much weight you need to lose if you have little to no syns from food you can drink. I've lost over a stone drinking 8 can each night, but it's come to the point where my weight loss has stopped, and I therefore need to cut back on the drink. Nothing to drink last two days and weigh in tonight so see how it goes!

 

[FlubbyFairy]

I really feel like wine after reading this thread.

 

[Carrotima]

My biggest downfall is wine- I just can't give it up. Over Christmas I pretty much ad a bottle of wine every night. If I didn't drink I would be super skinny ha! Trying to hold off til next weekend now- sat here with a hot vimto:-(

 

[caz1972]

my favourite tipple is vodka but after reading this thread i have started having martini extra dry with diet lemonade, anything to save a few syns! arty0036:

 

[Skulldilocks]

I've found that since joining slimming world, my desire to drink has cut down immensely. Before Xmas I gave up drinking for about a month and found it so much easier than I thought. Then I've been doing dry January. Helping me save pounds and lose lbs at the same time

 

[caz1972]

i have cut down drastically too, me & my hubby used to drink 5 out of 7 nights at home,not getting drunk or anything just a couple to relax really, but now we have decided to keep it to the weekends only so that should help with the weightloss & save a bit of money too!
