Hi all. My name is Debbie, I'm 34 years old and became a mum to my gorgeous little girl Gabriella last October. I have always been overweight and have tried loads of different diets over the years. I decided to give Slimming World a go because my sister has had some really good successes on it and because I didn't want to have to worry about weighing and working out points. What is really going to help is that my OH is also doing the plan with me which makes it a lot easier as I don't have to worry about making a separate dinner for him. I'm in maternity leave so can't afford to attend class at the moment so am having to do it from books (an of course Minimins) at home so hoping this diary will help to keep me on track and give me somewhere to write down what I've eaten and my thoughts so if I do struggle I can look back and hopefully see why.
I am currently breastfeeding though have recently started (sort-of) combi-feeding and am adding in a formula feed every day. I have read the breastfeeding thread and have decided to treat it like I have started weaning since I am adding in the formula feed so am allowing an extra 3 HE's a day (2 of which are HEa) although so far I have only been having and extra 1 HEa so should probably make more effort to have more calcium. I am sticking to EE to begin with but will start to add in some green and red days once I get to grips with it.
I started on Tuesday so have another 3 days until my 1st weigh in.
Food plan for today is:
B: 2x wholemeal toast from 400g loaf (HEb) with a tin of mackerel in tomato sauce
(meant to have some fruit for my superfree 3rd but not managed it yet)
L: Chinese savoury rice with baby corn cobs, broccoli, pickled beetroot, red cabbage and half a tin of salmon
D: Home made pork burgers made with lean pork mince, onion and mushrooms in a wholemeal bun (HEb), cheese slice (HEa), sw chips and a salad
Snacks: 250mls Semi skimmed milk (HEa)
I'll update the rest later
Please feel free to comment, particularly on my food choices if you think there is something I am doing wrong.
