breastfeeding and slimming world

[hurrydownthechimneytonight]

hi ladies, i used to do slimming world and now 8 weeks after having my ds i am going back on the extra easy plan. do i get any extra a and/or b boxes if im breastfeeding??

i cant afford to rejoin the group but really want to lose a stone or so before summer. thanks.

Yes but not sure how many - you'd need to go to group to find out as it varies from person to person

gah cant afford to go to group at a fiver a week.

All i want to do is lose weight and breastfeed at samed time. do you know how they decide how many extra boxes??

thanks

The leaflet I have from last year (may pre-date EE though) says as follows;

additional HE on top of your usual 2a and 2b

up to 2 months 3
2 to 3 months 4
4 to 6 months (if weaning) 3
4 to 6 months (exclusively bf) 4
over 6 months (when weaning) 1

It's 4 for the first 6 months, unless weaning at 4 months

Hiya, im doing slimming world, ds is 9 weeks! my consultant just said to have an extra A choice xxx

sorry, had to rush to get my food out of the oven!! meant to say im following the new extra easy plan, its fab! you can eat both meat and pasta etc on it! if you need any advice let me know and i'll check my books for you!

thanks honey2theb thats great, so i assume i can only have 1 b box and 2 a boxes??

appreciate any help/advice my ds is 8 weeks old and im determined to be yummmy mummy for the summer. (sorry short message 1 hand typin while milk munchkin feeding lol)

My sister checked with her consultant for me, (also can't afford to go) and she said the same number of 'extra' healthy extras while breastfeeding for extra easy as for the red/green plan, so up to two months 5 healthy extras on extra easy (1 a and 1b usual extra easy plus 3 extras- aiming to take most from a choices) or 7 heathly extras if doing red or green (2a and 2b usual red/green plan plus 3 extras, again aiming to take a choices), increasing by one more from 2 - 6months exclusive BF... is this wrong then? Weight isn't flying off me, but it was slow and steady when I did it after first pregnancy and did attend the classes.
I need to lose 2 stone, was going to join the slimmingworld thread in Weightloss on here for support. I'm following the extra easy recipes from the jan/feb mag, plus 3 extra healthy extras, usually b's I'm afraid, cereal or pack ryvita minis for energy after feeding frenzy- DD 6 weeks tomorrow

Sounds like I might need to cut back...damn!
