Journey so far,

My weight loss journey has been an ongoing one, after having my first baby I gained some weight and lost it all on the old weight watchers plan, I then went on to have my second and third baby and just had my 5th 10 months ago. I never got back to goal and seemed to really struggle losing any weight at all. I was going to weight watchers just before falling pregnant with my little boy and as I had very bad gestation diabetes on all my pregnancy’s last one was hard going with a very strict diet and 7 injections of insulin a day. My head was in the game and I was looking forward to keeping up a healthy eating lifestyle, when I had my little man and was counting the days and to rejoin weight watchers.

So 6 weeks post birth I was back to my meetings weighing lighter than I had when I left so off to a great start. 

As I was breastfeeding my little boy I was given extra PP per week to eat, which I tried to eat on my third week on the plan, I felt it was to much food for me and was not surprised to see a gain. My leader advised I should eat the extra PP, Which is very important to allow for good milk production and to maintain a weight loss of 1 pound per week. But I decided to just use the amount recommended for weaning or supplementing with solids, so an extra 7 and its worked for me. (I am in no way recommending any one should do the same, speak with your leader for advice on PP and Breastfeeding)

Starting weight 13.2  (83.8 KG) at weight watchers WI, my own start weight from at home was 13.5 stone


So last week was first week back after Christmas and I started off the break with a 2 pound loss which I was delighted with, which had me at 11.12 gained 4.05 over Christmas which I expected and was OK with as I knew it would not be there for long if I can help it .

So Week 1 following the new little book with the 26 pp daily allowance 
Has gone very well I have upped my exercise and its hard work but I am enjoying it and looking forward to tomorrow to my meeting and WI any loss will be good but my WII fit is showing a good loss remains to be seen if it will be the same tomorrow. 

we Shall see what Weigh In shall be .....


OK so that's my lot for now, I have some nice recipes I will put up for anyone interested and for me to keep them in one place .
