Slimming world - will I lose weight?

Joined SW this week in order to lose 3 stones worth of baby weight Blush So far, so good. I like how easy it is and I'm definitely eating more fruit and veg by default. DS is 4 months old and EBF, so I'm allowed a total of 6 health 'a' and 'b' choices instead of one of each. That's a lot of food! Despite being a self confessed pig, I'm stuggling to eat it all and can't see me losing much. Anyone have any experience of SW while BF'ing?

I joined when DS2 was 3 weeks, he is now 14 weeks. I have the 6 hexs, two b's and the rest a's (all cheese as I hate milk). I've got 3 to 4 stone to lose and I've lost 16lb so far so you can do it.

I snack a lot on fruit, veg sticks, sandwich meat and hard boiled eggs. The amount of cheese I can eat doesn't make it feel like a diet.

That sounds great, well done! I've had 3 a's and 1 b today Sad I could have some toast and cheese too, but I've just eaten dinner and I'm stuffed! Had fajitas, and I made egg 'wraps' instead of the normal bread wraps. I'm pleasantly surprised Smile

Thank you! It's been easy some days and hard others but it's so satisfying to see the numbers drop on the scale.

I've been meaning to try the egg wraps, were they easy to do?

They were extremely easy. Just coat the bottom of non stick frying pan with beaten, seasoned egg. They stayed together really well. I probably used about 4 eggs for 2 large wraps though Grin Which is why I'm dubious about the possibly weight loss...

Weight loss is something that keeps many people frustrated, as some do not like to exercise or do not have good eating habits. It is important to understand that losing weight is not impossible, but it should be a decision. This is a great way to start and make a change in your life; Eating healthy by choosing the foods that can favor us. tiny.cc/ur9dny

I personally have had much better results following a Paleo lifestyle with exercise, even if that means I am streaming workouts for free via YouTube.
