Breast feeding on slimming world

[Choice4567]

Just started slimming world again after quite a few years. This is the first time I've done it whilst breastfeeding

I'm finding it hard to get my head around how many healthy extras I'm allowed, and how to eat that much dairy!

Anyone have any experience? Thanks

I'm currently doing slimming world and breastfeeding. I'm having milk for brews and then adding cheese to most main meals (pasta dishes, lasagna instead of bolognese and then making a white sauce for that) and sometimes snacking on babybels etc. I'm still struggling to use them all but my supply seems to be fine and I've lost 1st 1lb in 6 weeks.

Wow @Smarshian that's a brilliant loss well done! I've been snacking on babybel too.

Are you aiming for 3 healthy A a day?

Yes aiming for that. Doesn't always work out but it has been coming off at a good rate. Are you starting this week?

Yes, just started last Thursday

Ah well good luck - lost 4.5lb in my first week and I'm now only 9lb from target. Hope it goes well for you too.

Cheese on toast or on ryvita is a good way to use them. Or milky drinks.

Thanks! I've been discovering cheese on toast so that's good

1at week and 4 1/2 lbs off, very pleased with that

I wish it was the Bs you got more of. I find it hard to eat more As without Bs. I’ve been having:

As -almond milk with my overnight oats, cheese with main meal, random mini cheeses as a snack

Bs- oats as above, and a nutrimum bar (I have decided to call these a HexB as I don’t want to any something I am eating for health/BFing and the calories are similar to a hi-fi bar)

Baby is 6 weeks, and we are supposed to have a 4th A at 8 weeks aren’t we? I don’t really drink milk so will be dying for some bread to eat with all that cheese.

How many syns is everyone having? I’ve stuck with 10.

Weight losses so far 1lb, 3.5lbs, 3.5lbs...
