Hi all
Newbie here, secretly been lurking as a guest for a while now but decided to bite the bullet and introduce myself and join in!
I'm Melissa, i'm 23 and live with my fiance and 2 children, a 4 year old and a 2 year old. I put on quite alot of weight in my first pregnancy and I never really lost it then got pregnant with my second, didn't put on as much second time round but went to a weight I didn't like!
Pre pregnancy I was around 8st 11lb (got to the comfy stage with boyfriend, prior to that I was about 8st 7lb), during pregnancy I went to around 11st 3lb
, weighed in at around 10st 10lb after, managed to get to about 9st 13lb from dieting and breastfeeding, then during pregnancy with my 2nd I went to 10st 12lb...anyway cut a long story short, I now weigh in at 9st 7lb 2 years on, not too bad really, I have been yo yo dieting for the past year but nothing was really working, or I found it hard to stick at it.
I started Slimming World around 2 weeks ago now and have lost 3lb so far, abit gutted that I didn't get a big loss like others I have heard, but i'm putting it down to that I don't really have the much to loose anyway, I want to get down to 8st 7lb ish again so I have abit to play with as i'm quite happy at the 9st mark. I go on holiday in 2 weeks so my first target is to get down to 9st 3lb, more if I can.
I'm not going to meetings just yet, my mum has clued me up on how it all works so I have been doing it from home, so I could possibly be doing something wrong? I've been mainly doing green days as I find red days hard, heres a typical day if anyone can tell me if i'm on the right track?
Breakfast: 2 Weetabix with 150ml semi skimmed milk
Snack: Vanilla muller light yoghurt, fruit(blueberries, strawberries and a plum)
Dinner: Spicy sweet and sour mug shot, sugar free hartley jelly
Snack: Quavers
Tea: Bachelors mild cheese and broccoli pasta 'n' sauce (made with milk and water) with a bag of steam veg and 1 laughing cow extra light cheese triangle
OR Jacket potato with branston baked beans and salad
1 Coffee with milk and sweetner and a few cups of tea with a splash of milk and sweetner.
Am I on the right track, should I be eating more??
Once I get back from my holiday I plan to attend the meetings to loose my last bit of weight, just can't really afford it at the moment!
Melissa
