SW journey as a mama of 2...

[Trefoil]

My little one wanted a sausage supper from chippy for dinner and as she never asks for this I thought sod it and took her (with Oh away I can't be bothered cooking). The local chip shop is Italian and they make fresh home made pasta to order so I ended up ordering arriabata and asked for no olives and to be cooked without oil(I'm still calling it 5 syns to be safe but I did watch her and she didn't go near oil but incase any was in pan). It took ages to be ready but it was so worth it. Yum. I only managed half as portion was huge! I love pasta and haven't had it for ages and now I've had arriabatta twice is one week. Typical lol.
Bed time for me. Night xView attachment 183601

That looks very yummy! What a nice treat!! Hope you enjoyed it and that you had a lovely day too!! I love pasta, also love that it's 'free' on SW!

Hi everyone.

I have been VERY awol however I am back to work and ready to confess my syns.
I was off for 2 weeks annual leave and my daughter was really unwell with her asthma. 10 days of steriods later and multi dosing of her inhaler and she is much better.
It was triggered by a viral illness which she kindly shared with us all.
I then also found out I am pregnant!! I am 10 weeks today so still early but it explains all my food aversions, extreme hunger for all the wrong things and my sickness.
I therefore haven't been to class for a few weeks but I am planning to try restart so that I can do damage control and not gain loads like I did last time!
Looking forward to catching up with all the diaries!

Thanks Ruth! Things are starting to settle and I'm managing to eat food but not quite healthy yet. I did manage an apple today! Haha. How are you? I have had a quick catch up on your diary. You are doing amazing. So close to target! You must be so proud. Your looking amazing. Have you managed to speak to landlord yet? X

Congratulations! What wonderful news - hope you are feeling less sick now and starting to feel more human.
Hope you are all recovered from your viral illness!! Xx

Sooo... last time I wrote on here I was 10 weeks pregnant. My little princess is now 6 weeks. I haven't been near slimming world since finding out I was pregnant nor did I follow plan. Lots of other things happened between then and now and Therefore my weight crept up and up!

Me and mum are going back to a new class on Friday morning. I think I am around 2.5 stone heavier than my last weigh in so all in I have around 4 - 4.5 stone to lose depending where in and up feeling comfortable within myself. I want to focus maternity leave on looking after my 2 girls and making myself healthy and a better version of myself.

Not sure who still pops on here but be lovely to see some familar faces and new ones to spur me on!

Few meals I've had since Friday...

 

[MilliesMummyx]

Class on Friday showed a 27lb gain since last weigh in. Which I expected tbh. So far sticking to plan well (the additional healthy extras help). Breastfeeding makes me really hungry especially after cluster feeds so I've been reaching for fruit bowl instead of junk cupboard which is working so far.

Hello anyone following

 

[Jenny_b]

Hi,

well done on reaching for fruit.

how many of each healthy extras can you have when breastfeeding? as I'm pregnant atm, I'm allowed 2 as and 2 bs, I heard it was more but unsure. thanks

good luck for a good loss next weigh in

 

[MilliesMummyx]

Depending on age of baby and if your purely breast Feeding. But 5-6 mixed but pref more a than b. I'll add pic... I havent been nanaging 5 per day tbh. when are you due?

 

[Jenny_b]

that's great, thank you. I'm having baby October 12th. been on and off sw since I was 12 weeks pregnant, about 1 stone down so far x x

 

[MilliesMummyx]

Breakfast at 7am. 40g of asda almond and raison granola ( b choice) and strawberry mullerlight.

Snack at 10am... satsuma and watermelon.

1130.. mugshot

1445 lunch. Tuna mayo and onion pasta (3 syns) decaff coffee (hea)

 

[MilliesMummyx]

Well done losing! I lost around 2 stone total before concieving then nausea kicked in so I couldn't look at fruit or salad etc. So it resulted in a 27lb gain which wasn't great as I gained alot during my 1st pregnancy too.

 

[Jenny_b]

27lbs isn't too bad, I gained almost 60lbs with my son, that was the main reason I started sw this time. couldn't cope with 60lbs on top of already being overweight. I'm pleased to be down 1 stone and still 14 weeks left so its possible for a bit more. It will be interesting to see what I weigh after baby is born.

best of luck getting back to pre-pregnancy weight asap x x

 

[MilliesMummyx]

I gained alot with my 1st pregnancy that I had only just started to lose and now back on. But I kbow if I stick to plan I can lose it.

Weigh day tomorrow morning. Eek. Stuck to plan and committed 100% so would like 3lb off.

Missing sugar big time... x

 

[Jenny_b]

fingers crossed for 3lbs.

good luck x x

 

[kirsty_baird_26]

Hi congratulations on the birth of your baby girl. I have just had a little boy and also trying to get back on it.

Good luck x

 

[MilliesMummyx]

Class is 1130 so not long.

Thanks kirsty, congrats to you too. So hard getting on plan. Just eating is a bonus with a newborn at times. So don't worry too much.
