Jess' photo diary, surgery & baby later. Fresh start

[Jess<3]

Hi, I found out I was expecting quite early but cannot keep quiet anymore!!
I'm only around 7 weeks so like I said still early, I've told my closest friend and will be telling family in 2 weeks with a surprise announcement which im excited about!

So here's the beginning of my pregnancy/slimming world food diary!


(My food diary before pregnancy http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-weight-loss-diary/244479-start-my-7-stone-loss.html)

COPIED FROM FIRST DIET DIARY I STARTED
Hello, welcome to my little thread for my weightloss... I started slimming world 7 weeks ago, in the need to lose about 7 stone!!

I want to lose this weight because:
:- I dont want to be fat anymore!! (i have since i was in junior school!)
:- The rate I'm going I won't live as long as I could.
:- I want to be healthier & happier!
:- I want to be able to run around an play with my son & future children.
:- I want to be able to shop in 'normal' clothes stores. Not the 'fat' shops.
:- I NEED to loose the weight to help with my knee surgeries!


I nearly had gastric bypass surgery, i need to lose the weight as number 1, i am very over weight, 2 i need to lose it so i can have my knee/ligament surgery again as weight is a big problem with recovering. My consultant referred me to have it done, i was half way through my pre-op diet when i thought things through properly. I really wanted to try a healthy diet first before such major surgery at the age of 22. Ive done plenty other diets but they 'never worked' Well i cancelled my surgery an joined my local SW group.

Joined slimming world on 27th September 2011 - best decision i ever made!

Hi jess
Congrats
I was really excited too and started a diary here at around the same time ( maybe even earlier! )
I'm 13+5 now it has gone pretty quick but my diet has been horrendous have gained 3lb in total so far but I've decided to restart SW today and try and carry on throughout pregnancy .
That hazelnut porridge looks yum !!
Xx

 

[Jess<3]

Hi Sammie! Thanks you should try it, was beautiful! I'm actually sat having orange choc one now lol.

Congratulations too, I found out very early as couldn't stop testing lol but wanted to wait until scan to announce on here after telling family but just couldn't wait and wanted to start sw diary.

I was gutted with the gain last night :/ think I was expecting things to still be normal and start gaining around 20 weeks ... I can wish haha

Still sticking to it 100% don't want to gain all my loss over 2 years back but understand I will gain . X

Thanks Hun
I've only put on 3lbs so far but I was bigger than I would have like to have been when I got pregnant so I'm going to try and reign it in now and stick to sw.
Maybe you could help me out a bit ?! I've done sw a little bit before but I've never stuck to it that well and I seem to struggle with meal ideas but yours all look lovely.
Is this your first child or do you already have children? Will you find out the sex?
Xx

 

[Jess<3]

How far along are you?
Yes sure I don't mind with been pregnant you have 2 healthy extras instead of one unless doing green/red which is two anyway so I've swapped to them.

This is our second baby, we've a little boy, Jacob who's 2 and a half in December. Is this your first child? An yes il find out, no way I can wait that long lol, you?


Well sw wise today been terrible. Porridge for breakfast, pasta in sauce for lunch but had kebab for tea!! :/ Xx

Hey Jess, congrats on your pregnancy! I remember you from the SW forums.

Sounds like you're doing great so far, never mind the kebab x

Oh god yesterday was bad for me too, I'm honestly finding it so hard to eat healthily during this pregnancy all I want to eat is carbs ! I'm 14wks with my first and we're not finding out . It's going to be so hard to resist but as it's our first we really want a surprise
Aww that will be nice for your little boy to have a brother or sister .
I'm doing the green plan as I'm a vegetarian but like I said I think I'm going to find it difficult! X

Your more patient than me lol. I wanted a surprise with Jacob but after my first scan I just needed to know!!! It would be nice having s surprise but I just woukdnt be able to wait, plus be easier as we've already got everything for a boy.

I do green often too, do you like quorn? As I do most meals like EE but substitute meat with quorn x

 

[Sammielouise071]

pregnant &amp; trying to maintain or lose!

Part of me wants to find out so we can but stuff in the right colours but the other part of me says no just wait and buy stuff after .
Yeh I do like quorn well I like the mince and the ham that's about it lol .. I'm not a very good cook though although I have attempted a quorn Lasagne before and that was nice ( not very sw friendly though ) x

 

[missy1978]

If you want any veggie SW ideas have a look back through my diary if you like - I have lots of recipes on there! You'll have to go back a bit tho as I've been off plan since about 7 weeks

You can do lots of lovely stuff with Quorn, I use a lot of chickpeas and beans too. I'm being a bit of a lazy cook these days. Need to get back on it really! xxx

 

[Jess<3]

Yeah I've been using quorn mince for a few recipes.

Since WI on Tues not been too good. Had takeaway Weds, and then last night we went to Hull Fair and had burger and chips!

But fresh start today,
Magic pancakes with vanilla yog, strawberries, grapes and banana with sprinkle of cinnamon. 0syns 1heB.
