Extra Easy Losing the baby weight

[vintagepockets]

I originally lost 2 stone doing Slimming World in 2012 going from 11st 12lbs to 9st 12lbs in time for my wedding in 2014. Maintained at 10st 3lbs for a few years but I have recently had a baby and gone back up to 11st 10lbs. I've joined a group and I'm ready to get back to Slimming World and reach my interim target of 10st 6lbs by my birthday in May.

I'm breastfeeding and my baby is 10 weeks old so I have a whopping 6 hexs to use! No idea how I'm going to use them all and today has already been a bit of a fail in that respect. Just need to realign my thinking and use them in my snacks I think!
