Hello ! I had a baby give weeks ago and would like to start losing the baby weight now. I'm breast feeding which I think you can do and follow Sw? Will I be allowed to join at five weeks ? I've no other health conditions and post birth recovery is good.

I started SW 5 weeks post birth. My baby was 15 weeks last week and I was 1/2lb shy of losing 1 1/2 stone at weigh in. Weigh in again tomorrow...

You get more healthy extras if breastfeeding. I can't remember how many it was when I started, 5 a day (instead of 2) I think. It's now 6 a day if I do the 'extra easy' plan and 7 a day if I do original or green days. I struggle to have them all tbh, but it's clearly not doing DS any harm as he's climbed 1 1/2 centile lines since birth.

I joined when my baby was 3 weeks old. In 12 weeks I lost 20 pounds. I'm ebf so got more healthy extras. It's been great for me, encouraging a much healthier lifestyle and diet which can only benefit my daughter!

Ooh, good luck!

I lost another 2lb this week, which I'm really pleased with, not least as I've got my period this week (TMI, sorry!) and I'm normally very bloated, which means I don't lose much, then I lose loads the following week. Hopefully I'll still lose lots next week...

It's great if you are breastfeeding, so many healthy extras! I've lost half a stone in two weeks.
