SLIMFAST NEWBIES - Introductions

[Rayven]

Hi guys. I'm Rayven, I'm 30 years old and I'm a foodaholic! lol
I have three children aged 7,6 and 11 months. I was 18 stone 6 at the beginning of the year and managed to get down to 15 by April, i then patted myself on the back a bit too much & came off the diet, but luckily have only put back on half a stone, but Christmas is coming & its my 31st Birthday in March and i'd like to be a LOT closer to goal by then, so am back on the slimfast! I did give Cambridge a try (as i've been on it before) but i just don't have the willpower right now to have absolutely no food - i find slimfast relatively easy to stick to though. Fingers crossed the weight will start to come off again. xx

Hello... not really sure what im doing. The site is a little tricky to navigate!

Well im Sally, 35 and need to lose 2 stone. I chose slimfast as i have got bored with WW. I used to be a WW leader but got fed up with the whole points thing. My friend is doing Lipotrim and we both started on Monday. So far so good!

thanks for reading my Intro

Speak soon - im looking forward to getting some help and support along the way.

Love Sally xxx

Hi all,

I think I have introduced myself on the wrong page, but anyway, I am trying slim fast (tesco version) for the first time. It's better than what I thought and so far it's been ok, not as hungry as I what I thought I would be.

Using wii for exercise and adding some calorie counting in too.

Hi everyone,

I have just finished my first week on slimfast & had a loss of 1.2lbs, which I'm really chuffed with as 3 days this week I have had cake at work (different colleagues birthdays) and sometimes have only substituted one meal with a shake instead of 2 meals.

I've never done slim fast before -mainly because I thought that I wouldn't feel full on just a shake, but amazingly (to me anyway) it hasn't been as bad as I thought.

I'm aiming to slowly increase my 'committment' to the plan, ie. 5 days a week just one shake a day, 2 shakes a day on the other 2 days and then slowly build up so that i'm on the 2 shakes a day +600 cal meal 7 days a week.

good luck everyone.

stats btw - 23 yo. with 1.5 stone to lose

Hi, I have joined as a friend of mine is on here (doing another diet) and she said it is a great help to have support of fellow dieter's.

Basically I start my diet on Monday, once back to work and doing daily walks of up to an hour. My goal is to have lost around 6-8 stone by August 2011 as that is when I am getting married, however my first goal is my holiday in June, I want to have lost at least a good 2-3 stone by then.

I have done slimfast before for a bit over the summer last year, however I came off it and all the weight went back on and quickly.

Wish me luck!

 

[Kes]

good luck!!!!

Start a diary i know it helped me loads!!!!
Ask any questions you like, everyone is really helpfull on here too!!!!

Hope you reach your goals!!

Hi, I am starting on Monday, although I am doing the Tesco brand version (UltraSlim) as it's so much cheaper than SlimFast, works the same way though I think. I have nearly 7 stone to lose, feeling slightly daunted but I know I can do it with some motivation.

 

[Kes]

welcome, ive not looked into the tesco version, so im sorry i cant comment, but dont feel daunted, just take each day as it comes and you will get loads of support and motivation as i have from this site!!
good luck and keep posting!!!

Day one completed near enough, found it easier than first thought. I just need to get my head around drinking the amount of water required. I am not a big water fan, any ideas on what I can do to make it more easier?

Hi girls, I'm new on here (although been popping on over the last few months ) I'm starting sf tomorrow, I've got 1stone 9lbs to loose. I stopped smoking last March and my eating habits have just got out of control. Look forward to getting to know you all x

 

[Kes]

welcome lexyD!!! Good luck and look forward to getting to know you more!!

Bumble bee!! Im not a water fan, cant drink the stuff on its own, so i try and drink very diluted double strength (as you dont need as much) no added sugar squash! I can drink and drink and drink that!!! And as its no added sugar its quite low in cals!!
Hope that helps

Hi all

I'm on my second day and I managed without giving in to the left over chocolate temptation yesterday (with thanks to the support). I feel very proud of myself tonight too as the family had chippy as I was running late from work and about from 4 small (honestly) chips I went without!
Thanks for the tip on juice with water Kes as I am not drinking enough. I have found that today my mouth is very dry and I feel like a have stale breath (soz). Does that come with the shake?!

Hi guys,
I've almost completed my first day of slimfast. I have a huge 6stone to loose. I currently weigh 17st exactly. three years ago I managed to loose 3st doing lighter life and got down to 12st 9lbs. I realise now that although yes I did loose weight and cant say the programme didnt work, I need a different approach. So slim fast here we come.
Good luck you guys and well done for starting to us all. xxxx
