Bye bye baby tummy

[*angela*]

Hey ladies+gents...

Hope all is well... Thought it maybe a good idea to start a new diary thing...

Bit about me - I joined Sw July 2011 and lost over 5+half stone up to Sept 2012 when I then found out I was pregnant with baby number 2... I tried my best to stick to class+to the plan but it just wasn't happening... My baby was born 11 days ago+I went back to class this week... 3 stone gain during my pregnancy - disgusted comes pretty close!!!

Glad to be back on plan though+100% determined to get all my baby weight back off asap... Love this website though+found it a fab help the first time round when I joined Sw.

Looking forward to getting to know ya's a bit better xxxx

Hi Angela, I was just about to start a new post myself as i too have just joined a SW class. I did SW a good few years ago when it was only original and green days. That seems many moons ago.
Anyway, a bit about myself. I had a little boy, well he is 3 years old now. I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy and decided to join weight watchers. I lost 3 stone, But then i started getting comfortable about my weight and started being a pig again. I then gained near enough the whole thing so again, i joined back weight watchers, and again lost nearly 3 stone.
I have been following it on and off for 3 years, so as you can imagine i am now sick to death of counting points. to be honest what has stopped me joining slimming world again before now is this new extra easy plan. I only joined back yesterday and I'm really hoping i can get to grips with it.
I have always been down about my weight, I'm never happy with myself. I set myself targets and when i reach them, I'm still unhappy and want to lose more.
I constantly have to cook seperate meals, for my other half and my son, and then mine. but I'm really hoping now on SW that i can cook one meal for all.
I came across this website whilst looking for meal ideas etc for SW. like you, Any advice, meal ideas etc would be really appreciated.
good luck xx

im like you, im constantly looking for new recipe ideas. im getting sick of rice chicken and salad which is what i have been eating the past few days.
this morning i attempted to make the oaty pancakes, they just didnt work. they stuck to the pan and burnt. im not giving up, i will buy a new non stick pan and try them again. i tasted abit of the mix and it was really nice so annoyed they didnt work. was really looking forward to them.
so in the end i had, quorn sausages, eggs, beans and tomatoes with 2xbread (hexb) i only ate one so do you know if i can have my other one later or do they need to be eaten together??
i force fed myself a fruit salad after which i didnt want at all but was sure this would be my 1/3 superfree. i have now realised my tomatoes was my 1/3...

anyway happy shopping xxxx
