Lots to lose ! Anyone else got lots to lose!

Im confused on something with the syns.

If a piece of bread with 94 calories is 5 syns (ish) why is a mullerlight yoghurt with 94 calories syn free?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that SW isnt just based on calories-it's all about satiation. It's how much the food fills you up-basically the best usage of calories. The easiest example to get your head round the concept is the orange vs orange juice. Imagine a box of oranges-you could drink the juice in them in 30 secs flat, therefore consuming all the calories in a short space of time, however you'd be hard pushed to eat all of the oranges whole! Hope that makes sense! Dont get hung up on looking at calories.

I've about 7-8 stone to lose

Welcome to the group Zennon, there is plenty of advice to be had on here. I have been a member for just over a week now and everyone has been really helpful. No question is too stupid, trust me, Ive tried so anything you need to know, anything you want advice on simply ask, and someone will have an answer for you. And you will get plenty of support from everyone on here as we are all in the same boat, some might have a little less to lose, some (myself included) have a lot more to lose, but the point is we are now all doing something about it.

So pull up a chair, warm your feet by the fire and good luck

Thanks for the advice, it makes a lot of sense when you put it that way.

[wackyjacobeany]

Hi there everybody i have about 15 to lose. I have done 4.5 so far so nearly hitting my 5 stone mini target. I would be over the moon to hit my 10 stone target but one stone at a time is defo the way forward for me.

Amazing post guys. I cant believe you have done 54 pages in 2 weeks. If only the weight would come off as fast as you guys type then we would all be ok lol. Good luck everyone. I will be popping in from time to time to say hello. x x
