Hi, joined slimming world today and as breastfeeding been told I should have 6 healthy extras daily. As opposed to two, it just seems a rather lot and was just wondering if there were many people who successfully lost weight whilst eating all these 'extras'?

I've lost 11.5lb in 6 weeks having the 5/6 extras a day. I mainly have milky drinks. I usually have at least 4 as and one or two bs.

Hi thanks was thinking how could I lose weight but today is my first day so going to give it a good go. Is it just extra A you have? And just have the limit of one extra B?

Just posted on the other bf post. Yes I have lost nearly 2 st since may while having all those extras with bf twins. Also having my syns. It really does work. I found I did need those healthy extras in the early days when I was ravenous. Good luck!

Weight gain in pregnancy

Weight gain during pregnancy is one of life's certainties, but studies show that many women don't know how much weight they should be putting on – and could be putting themselves and their baby at risk

Well done

That's amazing well done u I lost 1 pound last week so properly gonna try this week fingers crossed

I lost 3.5st in 6 months, I used 2 HEa and 4 HEb as I was starving and I'm not a massive milk fan. I have continued to use the same amount since I hit target to maintain because although dd4 is 15m now, she still feeds a fair amount and you get extra HE to maintain at target anyway, I also have extra syns as I carried on losing so had to lower my target by another 7lb, I've stayed within my target range since then. (i'm pushing it atm though as I gained 2.5lb in the last two weeks because I've lost my mojo a bit!)

user1474320794 · 03/12/2016 17:47

Four weeks in and I've lost one stone and four pounds yippee
