I am confused.... how do they work, my group leader hasn't explained these to me. I assumed you could use syns at any time throughout week as long as averaged under 15 per day....

As far as I know from all my consultants on SW, and I have had a few, having joined SW 6 times in nearly 7 years, this is how it works, according to them:
You need to use your 10 - 15 syns per day. You cannot "bank" or save them for the week for a special occasion. I know some people here work on 105 syns per week and work from that total, however this is not correct ( I have done it myself but it is not what SW advocate!)
If you have a special occasion, like a wedding, birthday etc you decide beforehand how many syns you will have for that day, be it 20, 50 or 100, and work from that stopping when you hit whatever target you set.
After that you continue your normal eating
plan.
Anyway, that is how it has been explained to me!
I cant see how the 'decide before hand' thing works, surely thats just saying 'Oh eat what you like'
I know the weekly thing maybe isnt the official SW way to do it but it seems to work for people
I have to admit I prefer using them as a weekly thing. Ive been out a couple of times this week and Im well under my weekly allowance, I think Ill average 11 per day over the week. Had I done it daily Id have been over 3 days this week, albeit by only a few. I suppose its a mindset thing. 3 days failure or a weeks success.....
