Hi started my diet on the 23rd July so i'm now in week 2 
Weighed 280lbs in Jan 2008 managed to get down to 260lbs by xmas last year but not by very healthy ways. Have stayed the same from then till July this year then decided that enoughs enough its time to do something about it. Especialy after being told that i cant have my sterilisation reversed till i loose some weight. Were also having a family holiday in May next year to Florida thanks to my mum (shes 60 and wants to do something big bless her)
So nows the time

Newbie!
Hi, just started on SF today, tried CD for a short while but really missed food!!
So hoping this will be a bit easier, obviously it won't be as big a weight loss but it's for the long term.
Have a long way to go but want to do it this time!!

Hi Stirky, well day 1 seems to be going well so far, not been too difficult to stick to! Just got to remember to drink plenty of water!
Is it ok to have diet drinks/diluting juice?

Yes sure diet drinks and no sugar squash is fine if you don't like plain water. I sometimes have a can of diet coke, nice treat lol. I used to have a can a day when I started SF again as was good if I had a craving for something sweet, though I've cut it down as not too good for your teeth lol.
Another great drink to have is green tea, as no cals and it's good for you. I like the green tea with jasmine, gorgoeus!

Great, thanks for the tips....you just reminded me that I had green tea with pineapple & grapefruit in the cupboard, just made one so will see how that goes!.x
Hi another newbie here
Hey everyone. I'm new here and trying the slim fast diet seriously for the first time. I've tried the shakes before but never really took it seriously as I was younger and weighed less so losing weight was not at the top of my list of priorities. I found this site by searching google after reading about it on the slim fast facebook site.
I'm look forward to joining in the challenges and this month I'm aiming to lose 10lbs.

Hey I'm going to be starting on slimfast next week! Hope it goes well. I have a real sweet tooth so I'm hoping having chocolate milkshakes and stuff helps control the cravings. Do the powder shakes taste good? Also is it ok to use soya milk to make them? I'm really hoping slimfast works for me. I have a blog for anyone interested in reading it and seeing how I'm doing Pink fluff and other stuff

Hello Badger & Pink fluff!
I've never used soya milk in them myself, but don't see why not if it's fat free soya milk. I love the shakes, although I always blend them with 4 ice cubes using a hand blender. Makes them go all frothy and creamy and taste gorgeous! I don't like them just mixed with milk, too powdery tasting.
Good luck with it both of you and let us know how you get on

felt sick and almost threw up with the first drink i made up so have gotten some ready made ones to try, i may not have mixed it right though and am not used to skimmed milk..
but will keep trying..i am sure in time i will get used to it..
i have over 5 stone to lose (think i was in denial for a while)
currently weigh 15st 11
want to be 9st 7 or at least around that..
so just popped in to say hi.. will be weighing on saturday, so fingers crossed for a half decent loss lol
