syn is short for synergy elle, not sure why it's called synergy though !!

 

[Martyn]

Syn = Sin: Something that is bad for your body or spirit. Generally i sin alot when boy folk are around. Or so certain religions try to say! mwhaha

30flitygirl....I see you did the same thing as me and went from cd to sw. hahaha. Nice to see a like mind! =-)

well I had to leave CD as it made me ill so I went to SW. I am loving SW at the mo though. How are you finding it?

 

[Gemstone]

I'm here too guys! Spent the day with my daughter - I love it when that happens! Also a friend came over this afternoon for a cuppa, had a good chat, went shopping with my daughter and then took her home. Great day, now I'm tired. Good job I had veggie pasta left over from Monday eve and only had to nuke it for tonight's dinner. x

 

[Fattyfattyboomboom]

flirty.....that was the very same reason I left. I did like it and the losses, but I just could stand being ill and feeling a lot of pain.

SW...is great. I love all the veg and fruits. After CD I really don't feel the same restrictions as I did when I did SW in the past. And as it happens I very rarely use more than 7-8 syns a day...and I never feel deprived. I never realised how much choice I would have. I do it on line with body optimise. and I find it so much easier!! you are much more aware of what you can have and never have too much of a problem.

I agree with you, CD reset my system so I can enjoy all foods now. Its great xx

 

[Gemstone]

Glad you're both getting on well with SW. x It's one of the systems that trains your body and mind for the future - that is when you have reached target weight. It might take a bit longer but you have a lifestyle change with SW, WW and that sort of thing. Well done and good luck for your continuing success x

The Syns are the Synergy of the plan. By having Syns nothing is a 'banned' food and enables us to eat what we want and stay on track. Someone has spent a lot of time and effort working out the amount we can have and still lose weight

Hi my fav girlies!

Had a mildly stressful day today! lol. I spent most of it trying to find a new computer! I have decided that i just dont want to go on holiday this summer. I dont think spending 3-400 quid on something i am going to be embarrssed and uncomfortable on for 2 weeks is all that healthy! lol. Soooo, instead i am actually planning ahead(again!).

I have decided, to spend the money instead on a new computer for gaming on. (yes, i am that much of a geek!) Once i start CD, i am not going to trust myself overly much to go out with friends to the pub and resturaunts like i used to. But if i stay at home, i will simply be bored and start to eat.

SOOO... solution. I am getting a computer that can actually play online computer games. Atleast then, i have something to keep myself busy through the 2-3 hours of nothing ness between them all going out, and me being sleepy enough to fall asleep.

I am just having a lot of trouble finding a cheap place to buy the parts. (Yes, i am building it myself) Argh!

Other than that, i am feeling cherpy!

Hows everyone else?!
x

 

[Taz]

Evening Tyn, good luck building your computer! rather you than me!

 

[elle2585]

hi everyone....friend came over, i made us roast chicken with jacket pots and salad which was good... HOWEVER, she bought loads of nibbles round and i ate way too many doritos... arrrrgh. well, look, this is going to be a bad week. totm, overeating. i just have to accept and move forward. but i dont think i will make my stone loss when i wanted to nomatter xxx

 

[Fattyfattyboomboom]

tyn,

my OH may have some ideas...he is good at that kind of thing.

Flirty...yeah I agree to...I really feel quite free...and to be honest, I am not really a big crisp eater, or chips, or anything like that. I like chocolate, but Ihave always been one of those kind of people who only has a small amount and I put the rest away. I don't think i have EVER eaten a whole bar of chocolate. I am more of a savoury girl and so SW works great.

Taz, good girl on the knowledge...I am not that studius about SW I just know what works and what doesn't and doing online seems to help loads. I like that I can just look up what I need to to find the syn amounts out. And I know what to complete shun away from, as they are too many syns.

Gem...thanks hun...I am really enjoying it without the hunger feeling.

OK a dilema...I know this may sound silly but I am trying to make my mind up. One of my best mates ( who lives in london) I normally go and see every few months and have a good old natter, few drinks and a good ol' booty shake with, has just called me to ask if we want to go to spain for a few days. Her parents ( millionaires) have a gorgeous house just outside of alicante and she wants us to go. She is leaving tomorrow and coming back on wednesday. Now we can all go...but it is going to be about £700 all in with flights, parking, spends etc. (staying at the house so no hotel to pay) but I am not sure what to do. we could go for a few days just to get out...but I am not sure I should "waste" the money and go. We are going to malta in november and staying in a really nice villa for 10 days and I am sure the money would be better spent there, but I just wonder if we should just have a few days away too? Not sure what to do. What do you think?

 

[Fattyfattyboomboom]

elle, You'll get there hun. Just start tomorrow a fresh....and get stuck into some exercise and it may not be too bad. TOTM can make it hard. For me...I find it very hard to eat at my totm. I normally eat big time the week before and then hardly eat anything when it happens. I guess it is kinda like hibernation....I store it up and then use it....hahaha. Don't worry hun, we all have slip ups....just try better next time and maybe next time your mates comes over with snacks be prepared and have some healthy snacks of your own.

 

[Martyn]

Hey Jenny. If he knows any good sites or places that do good prices and deals on computer stuff, i would kill to gethold of them.

As to your decission... Well i think it boils down this. Can you afford it? I mean, if you can afford the £700 for a nice spur of the moment break, then you should totally go for it, i think most of us would! lol.

If you don't really need the break, then saving the 700quid for your next holiday would be much better, can have a much better time when you need the break.

Or, send me the 700quid, i go on holiday in your place, and everyone is happy! mwhaha

 

[Fattyfattyboomboom]

ok nevermind....I made my decision....I am not going....hahaha...oh well. Too much other stuff to have to pay for...nevmind mind eh...there will be other chances.

J

night all. I am off to sleep....I just hope I don't wake 8 times like I did lastnight.

Tyn - Hiya - How clever of you to be building a computer - I took mine in today and the OH (What do we need a computer for? Why do we need the internet?) has been looking lost this evening and all HIS stuff is on MY desk still. He won't ask to use my lap top cos he doesn't like it! Don't cut yourself off too much Tyn, after all you don't want to emerge a gorgeous hunky nerd with no conversation or social skills do you? x

Elle - TOTM is horrible - I remember it with great affection - NOT! Don't beat yourself up over the snacks. My daughter brought a bag of minstrals with her when she visited today and I had a handful - and what? x

Jenn - You described the holiday as "a waste" - don't you think that answers your question for you? Don't feel pressured into going unless you really want to. x

Taz - In aromatherapy synergy is achieved when the oils are blended together and the whole becomes more powerful than the individual component parts. Maybe it is the same with SW in that all component parts of the plan come together to make it work. I don't know, I am just guessing. x

Nicky - Glad SW is working for you. Nothing is worth risking your health for. I think I said to someone else this evening, "It's not the length of the journey or the road you take to get there but that you can stay on it until you reach the destination". It doesn't matter if it's not a quick fix, it matters that you get there safe and well x

:character00238: Weather Report for Elle :character00238:
Today started cloudy and rainy in the southclearing up around mid-morning :character00238: Tomorrow will be cloudy again with rain.
:nightf: Now all you wonderful peeps (where's abz tonight?) I'm going off to bed - Night Night :nightf:

 

[abz]

good morning guys. i just spent aaaaaaages catching up, ha. i hate nuts of all varieties but peanut butter has to be one of my least favourite things ever!! the smell makes me gag. so much so that my ex chased me around the kitchen with a jar of the stuff once. he couldn't believe it actually made me run!! ha.

everyone seems to be doing well and is hunky dory? i've been busy at work so i haven't been posting. we have a new member of staff so i've been getting to know him and taking computers to bits. today i'm going to test a load of computer insides. we have loads of broken pcs and nobody has bothered to label up which bits broke so now i need to test all the power supplies etc, see if i can get them working again.

i am absolutely freezing today!! nithered. i think ketosis might have something to do with it. i also nearly forgot to have a shake last night so that could be it... still. i've gained a bit so far this week. think it's all water retention with totm and the heat and stuff so i'm on a bit of a mission to drink lots of water and lose it before tuesday...

i have booked tickets to go and see my mate in newcastle for a few days. she's the one that's been diagnosed with lymphoma. she starts her chemo today and i'm going over there to help her hat shop and wig shop and hang out and things am really looking forward to seeing her. we've been best mates since we were 11 and we went to uni in different cities and don't get to see each other more than a couple of times a year so it's like a little mini holiday.

god. i can't believe how cold i am!!

how is everyone else?

abz xx

:character00238: Good Morning Everyone :character00238:

Not the first this morning abz. Well done. How am I this morning? WARM! I really don't like the sound of ketosis - couldn't deal with that one. I like the way I'm feeling at the moment. I am feeling fitter, my weight numbers are going down (cautiously hoping for 2lb at tomorrow's weigh in) and I can feel bits of my body performing better. I'm even smiling about being in between sizes again. Can't get into a 20 comfortably but 22 really baggy. I guess I must be a 21 Oh well, onward and downward I guess! :character00238: x
