Slimming world and pregnancy

[Olive1988]

Hello my midwife has said I can follow the slimming world plan due to my weight as long as I let the class teacher know I'm pregnant. I cannot really afford the classes so was hoping to just follow at home. I have followed the plan before so know the basics. Does anyone know if there is any differences if you are pregnant? Is anyone else doing it? Are you allowed to lose weight on the plan or just maintain? Any help will be really appreciated xxxxx

Interested to hear about this too! I have at least 2 and a half stone to lose and I really don't fancy adding more to it!

Also following! I've put in 1.5st and am only 17 weeks!

I can't afford it either, can you do it online for free??

You are allowed 2 healthy b and two healthy a's. Talk has been about maintaining or not gaining loads rather than losing.

For pregnancy you follow the usual plan, but you are allowed to have 2 HExAs and 2 HExBs. Once baby arrives, if you choose to breastfeed, you get even more allowance for As and Bs

Thank you is it the same number of syns 5-15? Xxxx

yes same syns.

up to 15 syns a day

How much weight do you have to lose? I only ask because I think in some areas the gp can refer you for free. Worth checking x

Hello all, so I have been following slimming world for a week and have put on 1lb which I feel really disappointed in. Is this normal when you are following the plan when pregnant or are my portions too big. I'm hungry all the time at the moment so I'm eating quite a bit of free food xxx
