SLIMFAST NEWBIES - Introductions

Hi, I'm also starting the Slim Fast plan on Monday. I'm completely out of control with my eating and heavier than ever! I gave up smoking 17 months ago and put on over 2 stone. About 6 months ago I had to start blood pressure medication which has made me feel incredibly tired and lethargic and I've gained a further stone! Enough is enough, I need to get a grip or I will just keep gaining. I've ordered 4 tins of the shake from Superdrug as it's buy 1 get 1 free.

Good luck - we will do it!
 
Hi everyone!! I am looking to start slim fast this Thursday - I have been dieting for most of my life, but particularly over the past 4-5years. In total I have lost about 6.5 stone, but have hit a plateau that I just can't get over. I have swapped (many times) between SW and WW, but unfortunately I think I know how to cheat the diets now, so I am self sabotaging!! Therefore I need a fresh start and I have opted for Slim Fast as it feels a bit more structured and less "cheatable" - lets see how it goes!! :)
 
Hi Everyone,


Thought I would come and introduce myself,
My name is Becky and I'm ready to rock slimfast :), I've done it before a long time ago but I am a
Bit rusty on the rules so please excuse me if I ask too many questions lol, I did plan starting calorie counting a few weeks back but I have had chicken pox so been total off the wall with everything. I have just over 7 weeks till I go on holiday and hope to at least lose a stone,
I am the biggest I've been in years and need to shift some weight. I am going back to work on Friday and it's my weekend shift so hope to start plan fri.


Looking forward to sharing my journey with you all


Becky
Xx

Haha exactly why I keep one - if I know I'm tracking it all I tend to stick to it!! I've actually found it a lot easier than I thought - I'm enjoying the structure! I've been on SW and WW for ages, but the problem is they teach me no portion control and I know how to cheat them :) I lost 3lb today when I got on the scales so I'm chuffed :) let us know if you set up a diary and I will come and subscribe!!

Hello

This is day 1 for me for my first ever time on Slim Fast. Going ok so far but I'm busy at work which helps. Think I'll go to Asda tonight to stock up on some SF snacks as fruit and veggies are going to get boring. I'm just trying to do this for 2 weeks to start with to see how I get on, I find if I aim for any longer then I just give up. Baby steps!

With 3 stones to lose this is going to be a marathon and not a sprint. Can't wait to read how everyone else has managed! :)

Hi everyone!I've just started slim fast today! I put 5lbs on over the last two months with our honeymoon and then having no motivation to fit into a wedding dress since we got back! I want to lose 2 stone. I have quite bad IBS so not sure how I'll react to the slim fast but to be honest whatever I eat at the moment sets it off so I might as well give it a go!
Xxx
 
Hi sooom! This is the start of my 3rd week but I had a blow out this weekend (we had friends staying) so I'm scared to weigh in this morning. I suffer from IBS too, some days I'm fine but others I get the usual stomach cramps etc. I think the chocolate one sets me off & if I don't drink it slowly. Aside from that it's the easiest plan I've ever done, hope you enjoy it :)
 
Hi rach sorry for the slow
Reply, the app used to notify me of replies but doesn't seem to now! I'm loving it so far! Been doin a shake for breakfast -I like chocolate best - and then a bar for lunch. I love how structured it is! Haven't weighed yet though week!
