Hi there,
I joined slimming world in November 2012 after losing 3.5 stones at home and hitting a standstill with my weight. Within 6 moths I lost 4.5 stones and felt amazing. I became pregnant and left in January 2014 as money was getting tight. My son is now 11 weeks old and I am almost 3 stones heavier.
Approximately 5 weeks ago, I started the plan again from home and lost 4lbs in the first week - I've not lost a single lb since. I am following the plan correctly and never going over my daily syn allowance (usually having around 10 a day). The only thing I can think of that has changed is that I started Micronor (the mini pill) around the same time I re- started Slimming World. It's just a massive contrast to what I previously lost with Slimming World. I am considering an alternative method of contraception (I used to be on the normal pill- its caused me major headaches and mouth ulcers) because I can no longer stand the sight of my body - I would sooner live with the headaches! Anyway, has anyone else had a similar problem with this pill? I have considered that the extra weight may be water retention so i have upped my water intake in hopes to 'flush it through', but this has proved fruitless.
Any advice will be gratefully received!!
Many thanks
Jenny
