If you are eating plenty of fresh fruit and veg, and drinking plenty of water constipation should not be a problem.
calcium can be obtained from other foods as well such as yogharts or if you are really worried can be supplemented
pregnancy will make a difference to your needs as obviously the body is going to require more energy and calcium as the baby develops.
It is not unusual for consultants to have differant views on things either
but just for the record this is slimming worlds advice on the question do i have to eat my healthy extras and if i don't will effect my weight loss
A: It won't affect your weight loss if you don't take all your Healthy Extra choices. However, the Healthy Extra section is there to ensure a balanced diet, so from a health point of view we recommend that you enjoy all your Healthy Extras each day.

Just read through the last few pages...
Miss Slinky, I also don't wish to add fuel to the fire but I do feel that you have over reacted to this issue. This forum is a place to chat, discuss and try to help each other in our weight loss. Slimming World is a 'plan' for healthy eating for life. I seriously doubt anyone of us would take people's interpretations of it or comments as 'gospel', and lets face it the advice from health professionals and even Slimming World changes from time to time. As adults we just need to apply a bit of common sense try to stay as close to the plan as we can. If things aren't working and we are not losing weight then we can re-evaluate what we're doing. Even if we don't follow the plan to the letter it's probably a lot better than the unhealthy eating habits that got us ALL to this point where we have a lot of weight to lose. I don't think it helps to have someone constantly correcting every little thing.
I think it's quite irresponsible to suggest that by not eating certain things you will become "seriously ill", "stop your weight loss" or not have a healthy baby. I'm pretty sure the majority of mothers of healthy babies in the world are/were NOT following Slimming World!

I agree with Dory, I've certainly been where you are before and on so many occasions I've fallen back into bad habits and just put on more and more weight. I'm hoping that when this happens to me again (and it will) that I can make the choice to just carry on with the plan and lose weight even if it is slower, and not undo all the hard work.
Good luck, you can't change what you've done only what you do

Hey emzybop.
I'm sorry you came back to a heated debate.
It's all about support and weight loss though, that's why I made this thread and it will continue for as long as I can help it
Don't worry about the off days, did you have a nice time? Someone said this on another thread..
If one of your car tyre was flat, u wouldn't go and slash the other ones would you?
Its just one or two days of being off plan.. You will lose this weight but instead of being upset about it, learn from the experience.
When hubby wants to out for a meal I always ensure there's a mix grill on the menu to ensure that I can ensure lots of yummy low syn meat (or free depending on how it's made) with lots of salad and plain boiled rice..
As for the alcohol, someone else may be able to give you some on how to cut back, I don't drink...
Chin up my darling. Everyone has days like these.. Xx
dory78 said:I sometimes wonder if my daughter is actually underweight, she's a proper lanky bean pole! I hope she continues to be slim all her life and my constant dieting doesn't affect her detrimentally
I'm sure she won't.. As long as she sees you doing what you are doing now she will be super proud.

Have you got anything in mind?
I've just been looking through some recipes on here. How about we all try to cook something new and post the recipe and a picture?
Or something we can do every day... like increasing walking or flights of stairs?
Ooo, I like this!
