Slimming world

[missamy94]

Not sure if already a thread about this but just wanted some opinions please, im 4+4 and have been going to slimming World for a while and I've lost a stone and a half and obviously (I say obviously, I MC at 5+3 last time so I'm nervous about this) I'm going to be gaining weight once I get further along but want to still keep eating as I am doing. Has anyone ever done slimming world while pregnant, when did you stop going due to weight gains? how did you find it in your early weeks? Thanks

There have definitely been recent threads about this so people will be along soon with SW advice but just to say I have put on 2 pounds (31 weeks) after losing a stone in my first trimester as on GD diet so it can be done healthily. Would your GP or midwife see you with advice as I'm sure you will need extra support after MC? Well done on your weight loss BTW!

I just got my BFP today and I've been on a diet (sort of) and I plan to keep on going as I don't want to gain as much weight as last time and want to get a handle on it sooner.

You're fine to keep going, you don't need any extra calories until much later on. Slimming world do have a pregnancy support so when you are ready, speak to your consultant at group.

Congratulations!!!!

Thank you to you both, it's a big help, I'm not seeing my midwife until I'm 9 week 6 days because that's the next available appointment which is later than I wanted due to my MC, but I suppose just have to hope that by time that time comes that there is a heartbeat!

Hello again missamy 😊
I'm 4+5 and decided to try and carry on with slimming world at least through the first trimester, when my membership end. I think it helps me keep on track with eating healthily anyway. Not that I lost an ounce this week, I'm blaming my boobs!

Hi kats I put 1.5 on this week and I've been really good, my boobs are hurting so it might be them!

I've been at slimming world for a year now, lost over 3 stone and then fell pregnant in August, I'm still going, have put on 10lbs but that's because I've not been great with food, and even then I don't think that's an awful lot (am 24+3) I'm not leaving because I know I won't go back and that the gains would be worse if I didn't go!
It is possible to lose weight (safely) and be pregnant as I'm sure some others will tell you. Good luck
