Slimming world advice please :)

oh yes food diaries do help a lot! Especially with the syns and Hex! And SP can be a great boost too! Good luck!

I have a question, I posted it on my sw group page and also on my sw Instagram but nobody replied.

When you're already over your daily syns, do you still have your healthy extras as normal if you haven't had them already? Or is it just adding more unnecessary calories when you are already over syns.
What I mean is, yesterday lunchtime I had pizza so was over my syns but hadn't had my B so I had 2 chocolate hifi bars with a coffee later on the night.
But then thought, am I just having these for the sake of it making my day worse, or is it still beneficial to have them even though my day is technically ruined?
Hope I make sense!

Well according to SW, syns and HEx are not related. One is for pleasure and one is for your body's fibre needs. However, only having 1 hifibar (or certain Alpen light ones) apparently speeds your weightloss. (Where as only having a part of your HExA allowance has to be counted as syns, go figure, cause it then does nothing for your calcium needs.)
But I suppose from a calorie point of view Id leave the HExB completely on such a day, as you are allowed to do.

I weighed In Thursday and is maintained, the scales teetered on +0.5lb.. Longest few seconds of my life lol. But to be fair I expected a 1lb gain I gave up and just ate crap

Back on it but not as strict on myself. Next week I'm going to plan well and try and do everything by the book.

Best of luck to everyone else!

Is anybody elses food shopping anymore expensive whilst on SW?

 

[AngelUK]

I put on 1 1/2lbs but that was expected as I stuffed my face as if I were a contestant in a fat pig competition lol.
Back on track now I hope!

Welcome mumface and good luck No our shopping bill is not more expensive than it was before but we always ate fresh and organic anyway. Only difference is less oil and maybe less expensive cheeses ( )
