      Hi Linzi, congrats on your baby & to you for not only having had the baby but be trying to lose weight already. As a new mum I guess you need to make sure (more than the rest of us) that your diet is varied & full of nutrients etc. I've lost 1st 12lbs in 6 weeks & I tend to have fibre-filled breakfasts like porridge & frozen berries to keep me going, home-made soup at lunch with fruit & yoghurt & meals like you suggest above.

      Stupid question but could you get some time in the kitchen if little one is with dad or grandparents meanibg you could do some bulk cooking? It would be a lot of work at the time but if you made batches of bolognese/chilli/tomato based curry etc to freeze you'll have meals ready to de-frost. I use frozen veg & fruit every day so there's no prep & its generally cheaper too! I know from experience you want no-fuss quick & easy food but I found the key to that was to have 1 day every couple of weeks to devote to preparing batches in advance. If you make a chilli fir example you don't have to always have it with rice - have it with a jacket potato or make wedges (normal or sweet potato) or get some weight watchers wraps & make enchiladas for a change. Bolognese stuffed peppers or courgettes perhaps? You can use the basics to create a variety of meals that'll stop you getting bored BUT you need someone to help you as none of us are superhuman & it can't all be done by 1 person on their own. I tried & failed ;-) xx
