Just calculated my total syns for the week **drum roll/cymbal crash **
105syns out of a possible 105 so bang on my syns allowance for the week!! Phew!! Yippee!!!

 

[Kate54]

I was so sure I was going to be over my total syns for the week so relieved I’m not!! Good week all things considered, need to watch my syns on a daily basis though as I’ve been over a couple of times and I know better than that, considering this is my third foray into sw, but I’m sure we’ve all done it. Just hoping for a good result later this morning with my weigh in, fingers crossed!!!

Update 1.3 lbs off !! Whoohoo go me!!

[Ruth Mitchell]

Hi Kazz43 sounds like you had a bit of a blow out but hey every journey will have a bump in the road so just take it as a learning curve and it will iron its self out.
I have been trying to do the diet for a few weeks but hubby works away and then comes home n all my good intentions go out of the window, it happens but its a case of get back on and set yourself onto the right course once more.
As a result of being a YoYo dieter for many years with my weigh going up each time (was a size 12/14 now 18)I'm now going to write down mt foods every day and be accountable for the choices I now make.
Hope you get your course for 9st12lbs back on track n Good Luck

 

[Kate54]

Well it’s my birthday today so probably will be over my syns but hey ho back on plan tomorrow
