The one thing I do notice is maybe you could use more Syns? We are told to use 70-105 per week and this week you only used 69. Apart from that it looks good

 

[Sandrah78]

thanks taz - that's what I thought, last week when I had a pig out on the wednesday and the night in newcastle I lost 1.5lbs, I'll try increasing this week.
now i come to think of it, the last time I went out and had a few drinks I lose more then too - hmmm...

 

[Taz]

You may be like me. My body responds better to more rather than less. When I tried calorie counting it just didn't work as I needed more fuel. I always find that when I have very few Syns I lose less

 

[Sandrah78]

I did once try with no syns and maintained - was truly gutted and vowed NEVER to so that again lol. I've updated todays diary to include my tea.

 

[Taz]

Yeah, no Syns totally doesn't work for me either!
