the thing with any weight loss system is that there is a restriction of calories to help you to loose weight and when your body is creating new life I don't think it is a good idea to limit what you eat. I think it is important to be aware of what you are eating and listen to your body, know when you are hungry as opposed to say bored/upset etc....
You can still apply the principles of WW and make sure you are choosing healthy filling foods (salad on wholegrain bread for instance) as oppose to chips etc.... this way you are giving your body everything it needs without going crazy and having a lot more work to do once baby is here.
The thing with lite n easy is that it is not a weight loss system itself necessarily - they offer different calorie intake programmes and you choose which is applicable to you. Plust you can add extra meals and snacks to any programme you choose.
They do not ask if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or anything else- it is an entirely "at your own risk" system iykwim.
kelebek - yeah, i understand completley. Im not looking to "diet" as such when (if) i fall pregnant. Its more to keep my weight under control. I was hoping WW could help keep me on track so to speak as I had severe P.E lastime (i believe my weight was the cause for this) and next time I am trying for a VBAC, the more i gain, the less likley i get my VBAC.
I think I "should" be able to do it by myself for 40 weeks or so. Just putting into practice the stuff I already know and making the best choices when it comes to food and exercise. When i was preg with DD, i ate what i liked and i hardly did any exercise which resulted in an almost 30kg gain by the end of the pregnancy.
I will look into lite and easy, i havent read much about them, thanks xo
