Newbie SW help

HelloI have a NB baby and toddler bf both and not losing any weight. Had tough pregnancies with severe sickness but unlike most I had weight gain. Could only drink flat Coke Zero (yuck)Also had gestational diabetes and insulin. Definitely crave chocolate biscuits and as I have 0 time for myself ATM sometimes cereal as a snack. I'm not anywhere near a sw group and don't have many of the ingredients so hesitant to pay for online membership though I do get the magazines online and have the booklet. I think I need about 4 hexas and 15 syns but I haven't had a minute to study the booklet and I really need to be able to make things fast and easy.
I feel so fat and unfit.
Any help appreciated xx

Usually it's 1 Healthy Extra A, 1 Healthy Extra B and 5-15 syns per day if that helps at all

I thought you could have more hex due to breastfeeding?

You can have 2 HEXA and 2 HEXB on EE while breastfeeding, anything else needs to be syned. I'd suggest staying away from the coke and sticking to water as diet drinks slow down your metabolism and makes your weight loss slower.

Slimming world has some articles based around it that might be worth a read
