Any breastfeeding mums doing the trial? Do you get more points like with the old plan?

the points are higher with the new plan as the points in food are higher now. Check out the WW thread in the weight loss section as someone there is BF & get more points 40+ I think. So you do get more like the old plan for BF

as long as you are bfing you will get the extra points:)
yeah they say some chicken is 8 points not 16 but not any of the types i can find.. yeah its my healthy takeaway too..
i found it really tough the first week..still do.....but i find it a bit easier cause i can eat bananas or fruit when i have no points left:)

I started today. Got a calculator and an eating out guide and the other guide too. Felt guilty spending the money (got that $50 pack) but it will be worth it to start out as I mean to go on. ITs a bit of a wake up writing stuff down though! Woah! ive already lost 12kg on my own (and regained 3 over xmas, lol) but needed a bit of a kick in the pants so yeah. Im pleased I exersize quite hard so that give me a bit extra if I need it. Am looking forward to seeing results!

Man, they change the programme so often!! When I did WW back in 2004 sushi was really low points, I used to have it for lunch every day!
I do love WW though - I lost 15kg after living in Canada & eating far too much (and staying inside for six months hiding from the snow!), then lost 15kg again after I had DS1. I loved the motivation that going to get weighed in each week gave me

So what are some good filling food that people are eating? Im not much of a bread eater so I usually have salads, but then find im hungry later in the arvo. Like KA said - Im liking the point free fruit.
I probably used my weekly points on lollies yesterday - oops! Making lolly leis for DSs bday and having a few snacks along the way

Not quite true... i think it says if you are fully breastfeeding (or worded differently) meaning the main food source for your baby. I breastfeed still but only twice a day and she is a toddler so i dont qualify for bf points.

you can bulk out your salads with avocado, hummus, nuts, cottage cheese, eggs - boiled egg whites have no points! You should try and make sure you have a protein in your salads anyway, maybe tuna or chicken, bit of ham.

thats good sheza.! yeah i have two bday parties over next two weeks but hopefully if i dont start snacking I'll be alright..the massive bag of lolly cake offcuts is getting hard to resist though:) i dont get why a foot long sub is less than sushi!!!
they never asked me about how often i bfed bizzy i did not know that..there you go:)
hunters- I am finding filling food hard..i normally have cheerios and milk for breaky and fruit..and then i snack a bit..:) then spag on toast(like 3 points a can vs 10 or something for tiny baked beans one!!!) and then i tend to run outta points towards night time:) I drink way too much sugar free v and zero cause they are 0 points lol:)
