After just having my second baby it is time to start focusing on getting my self fit and healthy to enjoy them. After 5 weeks after birth I finally weighed myself at 13st 4 at 5ft3 that is a lot to lose. Currently 13st 2 on last weigh in (thurs).

Am following EE with HEx for breastfeeding. I am currently not going to class so am going to write my diary on here to keep me on track.

Want to try and get as much veg in as possible, cook as much as I can around a baby and toddler
 
Monday
B muesli (heb) fat free shape yoghurt, banana.
L pasta shells, pepper, asparagus, tomato purée, lightest Philly (1.5) light cheddar (hea)
D peppers stuffed with quinoa topped with leeks and Brie (hea x2) quorn burger (2) cheddar (4)

Total sins 7.5

- need to drink more water tomorrow - one diet coke and one squash.
 
Hi Hun :)
Do you find slimming world harder being a vegetarian.
I desperately want to like slimming world but every time I do it I find the results are so slow.. I find because I am veggie I am always eating carbs .
Just thought I'd get your opinion being a fellow veggie.
I also have a little one like you.. Although mine is 6 months now Goes way too quick! Xx
 
Hi I like it on EE for being a veggie as encourages balance, I like the encouragement to eat so much veg which I enjoy. I like having the carbs in proportion to the rest of the food and hopefully lose weight. I don't eat a lot of bread on slimming and try and buy wholemeal pasta and brown rice and generally have sweet potatoes rather than normal potatoes, also use quinoa quiet a lot, this keeps me full and stops the snacking.
The worst for me is lots of prep with a baby and toddler and cheese as I am addicted and eat too much, with having extra healthy extras am indulging but when I stop use most of my Syns on it. 6 months is a lovely age, lots of exploring
the world around them. How are you finding it? X
