Hi everyone, this is my first post on here so I'm hoping you can help!
I did Slimming World last year and did amazingly well but I smoked back then and really didn't eat much at all anyway as smoking is such an appetite supressant. But then last November, I found out I was pregnant (after many years trying) so gave up smoking. I now have my little boy who is 9 weeks old (I'm stopped breastfeeding after a couple of weeks) and haven't taken smoking back up but want to get back on the diet but I'm really struggling. I've been doing it for 3 weeks now and have barely lost anything. I know 3 weeks isn't a long time but last time I did this diet, I lost 5lbs in the first week. So I'm just wondering if you could tell me if I'm going wrong anywhere with what I eat. This is an example of a typical day:
Breakfast:
2 x bacon (fat removed) cooked in fry light, baked beans, fried egg (fried in fry light)
Lunch:
Chicken with some BBQ seasoning, jacket potato and baked beans or veg, with some salad cream/mayonnaise (always light or extra light)
Dinner:
Beefburger (homemade using extra lean mince) in a wholemeal roll and homemade chips (using potatoes and cooked in the oven in a little fry light and ketchup. I might also have bacon (again fat removed) and low fat cheese.
Snacks will include:
Muller Lights and fruit. Or sometimes I have a packet of crisps - like the Velvet Crunch ones that are only 81 calories per pack.
My syns I generally use on wine! I have a small glass of an evening.
Does this seem ok or am I not eating enough or am I eating the wrong things? Last time, the lady at SW said that I wasn't eating enough and it would hinder my weight loss but it didn't because I lost 2 stone.
