Hi this is my first week doing slim fast also first time on mini mins so sorry if I'm posting in wrong place,I'm 5 days in and lost 3lb so far,I was doing slimming world for 14 weeks lost 18lb then not much in the last month no matter how hard I tried,what I wondered was is there a chance of this happening with this diet too? Any one experienced their losses stopping after a certain period of time?x

Everynight around now i feel the need to eat, pick and snack...... anyone else find this? what do you do?

But I'm back. So after a great loss in my first week I kinda went a bit stupid on the weekend, takeaways and cake, alcohol etc!
Anyway I got back on track Sunday and I've been on damage limitation in prep for todays week 2 weigh in. Luckily I only gained 0.8lbs! I can cope with that!
So I'm right back on track now and the scale is shifting back down. Looking forward to week 3 weigh in! Bring it on! :D

I lost 3lbs on my first week which is still a loss but i was hoping for more. Going to start doing exercise this week so hopefully next weeks loss will be more.

Really happy with my loss this week didn't expect as much as had a reasonable loss in my first week. Makes me feel so motivated roll on next week and what lies ahead.

Hello everyone :)
After being on slimfast for nearly three weeks, I have picked up a few tips to get me through each day.
Firstly, drinking a lot of water after a shake as it helps activate the fibre within the drink, making you feel fuller for longer :) Also, for the past couple of days, I have been cleaning my teeth and using a mouthwash about 15 minutes after my evening meal - the minty taste surpresses my hunger...I'm not sure why but once I have cleaned my teeth I don't want to snack on little treats which could ruin my diet. Give it a go! :P :D
I would like to hear your tips and tricks...

Do any of you take your shakes to work - I'm a bit apprehensive about the "conversations" it may prompt! X

Had a bad day and managed to pull it back for a loss?

I'm only on day 3 and yes I've failed already!

Day 1 and 2 perfect 1200 cals and my scales were showing it was working this morning on day 3 -4lbs! (Hoping it'll last till thur so it's official!)

But today I've had one shake for breakfast and then went to a BBQ - now I ate healthy so all my cals are good cals but I've now reached the dizzy heights of 1400 cals for the day! So I'm thinking I won't have my meal bar this evening or any snacks and leave it at 1400.

Have I screwed my week up?! :( xx

Hi Ladies, hope you're all well. am so mad with myself... Today was my 4th weigh in and up until this week I had lost 8lbs. my 1st wedding anniversary is next week but decided to celebrate this week.. had a lovely meal midweek but this turned into a week of indulgence takeaways, desserts, the lot! I knew i had put on but today i shocked myself. weighed in and have gained 4-5lbs.... please tell me this is water weight! advice to u all, don't do what I did.... :(:(?#

I've just been reading through the threads - do any of you take a fibre supplement?!

I'm just wondering whether you go to the toilet regularly - I don't want to mess my system up and I know with TFR you do take a supplement! X

Thought i would start it a a new thread . I know we all have our own goals but thought it would be good to set a mini goal - break it down a little.

I am 10st 11lb my goal is in 6 weeks i want to be in the 9s ideally 1stone off!

So there you go any one up for it?

So I'm starting my slim fast journey tomorrow!


I've bought the ready made shakes (in the past I've struggled to stomach the powder make your own - so hoping these are better!)

Any tips?! What have your losses been like?!

What struggles have you found?! X

Hey ladies

Been bit quiet on here. Hope you are all doing okay with sf still and keeping on track. Xx

It's stupid questions time from me - please don't think I'm too blonde haha

I made my first shake up with 200 ml of milk instead of 250ml - this giving me 50 ml for tea in the day as I only take a tiny bit of milk in t, do u think that's ok ? Or will it make an impact ?

Cheers

So iv had my first shake of day one and im feeling good about giving slimfast a go however...... all im getting from friends is negative comments. Their points are: 1) im having 2 sugar filled, high calorie shakes that are unhealthy 2) Why not have a low calorie breakfast and lunch instead of the shakes as i could have plenty of low calorie food for 230cals and be full 3) all the weight will go back on quickly after (im going to do slimming world after and trust me i wont EVER get this fat again!!!!!) 4) its a fad diet etc etc etc have you all had these negative comments??

Just had my first proper weigh in this morning, I've lost 4.6lbs! I'm so pleased with that! I was stuck around the 3lb mark for a few days, but it's started to drop again over the past 2 days.
I can't wait to see next weeks results, I'd love to lose half a stone in 2 weeks :D

Wow I'm so happy don't think I have ever lost as much as this in my first week of any diet ever lol.
Going to have to start doing some work outs this week. I've got Josies 30 second slim and loads of kenect games.


Wow I will be walking round with a huge smile on my face

xx

So iv just got my shakes all ready for tomorrow. Its 3 snacks during the day, 2 shakes and a 600cal meal but what about drinks? i love my coffee (with sweetener) and sugar free squash, can i still have this??

Hi everyone, started SF a week ago first weigh in yesterday and im -12lb, have another 9st to lose and im hoping i can acheive that with SF, good luck to everyone on the same journey We Can Do It : )

Hey so today was weight in and I haven't lost abything this week! Not sure why but I suppose it's better than a gain! Still feel totally rubbish though! X

With 2 shakes a day how long do the tubs last for?

If people dont mind saying how much have you lost on slimfast in total (how long) and weekly???

Iv done a few vlcd's but i couldn't cope with no food at all so i started to do slimming world. In 6 weeks iv only lost 3lb which isn't good enough so been looking at slimfast but how does it work?? can i have 2 shakes and i low cal meal in the evening? thanks

Hey all,

Today was my third weigh in and I've lost 3lbs so that makes it a total of 8lbs after a bad week last week and stayed the samé!
i so prefer it to ww which I've done all my life! This i find is a nice balance between The Cambridge diet which l've doné previously and ww . Am soo happy, i think I'll finally be slim! x

Just to confirm all slim fast is B.O.G.O.F in Superdrug £5.95 each for the drums

i am going to pop in later and see if you can order and pick up in store like you can in boots as i imagine they wont have alot of stock in if they are anything like boots! And you have to spend over £25 for free delivery .

Will let you know later!

Anyone have or know if any good apps for my phone, mostly wanting to work out cals in fruit , and veg, more for things that doin come
In packets lol, I can google but wonder if there is a quick alternative,
Thanks

Back of holiday on sunday and first day back on slim fast today , not quite as hungry as i thought!

Put 4lbs on but was expected with all the food/drink!!

Back on track now though so just have to wait till next wednesday weigh in although I'm sure i will sneak on the scales before then!

Long time lurker first time poster!!
So here I am I have been reading about you all for the last week and decided to start posting and join in!
i started Slim Fast last sunday 28th April 2013 and my weigh in is on a Sunday. last Sunday 5th May 2013 i had lost 8lbs!!
I know its usual for bigger people to lose lots in their first week so I am not overly excited by it- Is that wrong??
My mum has stolen my scales so I cant weigh inmore often than every Sunday!! darn mother :( hee hee

So i am doing well- no cheats and even managed 2 meals out last week and calorie counted them!!

Walking the dog, playing netball and gym 5 days out of 7.

So looking for buddies and somewhere i can whinge, moan or just chat rubbish!!

Hi everyone, hope the nice weather is inspiring everyone to lose weight, it seems to give me a real boost to get slimmer. Had another day out yesterday to my in laws so wasn't able to stick to the diet 100%, the weekends are always the hardest for me, but I've got right back on track today with a chocolate shake this morning followed my a nice long run, and despite the heat I managed to go further today.

Finally managed to pop into Asda yesterday to get the three for £10 deal but it has changed to two for £10 so I was abit disappointed plus they didn't have the flavours I had hoped to try-cafe latte and caramel so ended up getting banana and chocolate, it was really nice to have a choice this morning, until now I have only had the strawberry.

have a good day everyone x
