**punk*~*star** starting Slim Fast Jan 2013

Hi everyone, I'm Kay, 30 & a married mum of 3 :) I have tried numerous diets over the years, most recently & successfully was SW! Anyway after a number of non-starts with SW recently & after regaining weight (I'm about 1.5st under when I joined in January 2011) well I saw SF on offer @ superdrug & decided to buy a months supply with the intention of starting on Monday... So that's me & ill be back with weight & measurements Monday - ready & raring to go... Lookin forward to 'meeting' you all :D X

Just been to boots and bought a drum of slimfast for £2.95 so if my order hasn't arrived by Monday I can still make a start :D

Hi Kay. I too have come from slimming world. Good luck with your journey. I have my first week weigh in tomorrow. It won't be as good as it could have been due to a feel wobbles (damn evening snacking!)
Anyway I hope you enjoy it! I really do as I genuinely like the taste of the products I use. Look forward to following your progress from Monday x

Hi :D good luck for your first weigh in X I think your done awesome sticking to it & I bet everyone has slip ups (I know I will!) that's great that you like the products, I think that's always half the battle coz some shake based diets are awful!

I'm looking forward to starting... Have bought just over a months supply to see how I get on :D

So my order has arrived so have lots of choices now, I got 4 more tubs, 6 bottles, 6 bags of cheese biscuits & 12 snack bars :D I have some ready meals in to have with salad & I plan to look through my SW recipe books to see if I can make them in calorie allowance... I'm actually feeling quite excited about starting & decided my first goal is to say on track 100% for 26 days (my next scheduled day off plan) lets see how we go :)

Ooh fab sounds good. I've just been to tesco and spent a small fortune but hopefully it's 2 weeks shopping so will see me through for a while. Got some low cal snack stuff. Brought some ww soups as they're under 100 cals and on offer. Got some curly wurlys as there only 115 cals and dark choc kit kats for 107 cals. Also some mini meringues which are 20 cals each and ww choc whip which is 45 cals. Ummmm some ww yogurts which are only 50 cals each and some ww cookies for 85 cals or so. Lol. Just realised how much ww stuff I brought but it's so much easier and all calorie counted for you. Only a couple of days now until you start along with me. I'm going to be weighed at slimming world as usual on Mondays I won't tell them
What I'm doing but I love my group and everyone there so I don't want to stop going. Have still managed to keep slim fast a secret from
My mum lol. The only person who knows I'm
Doing it is one of my best mates as she's not judgemental and I met her at slimming world so she knows how hard it is. :-) just realised how much I've waffled there!! Wooops sorrry!!! Xxx

Yeah it is hard especially when people are so judgmental! My mum has always been thin so she is a nightmare, her fave saying at the minute is 'I don't know why you bother with the diet stuff, you're not THAT fat!' Cheers :( my husband knows & he's awesome, I jump from one diet to another (wasting a fortune along the way) & yoyoing from a size 12 to a size 20 & he never says a word :D it's nice you have a supportive friend & group, it makes all the difference & I don't see a problem with still going to group even if you not following plan...

Good to know about the WW soup, it is easier when things are already calorie counted :) ill have to go stock up when the bloody snow goes!

Aww it's nice to have a supportive hubby. Have you got much snow where you are? We had quite a bit last week as the south seemed to have got it first but it's all melted now thankfully!

So what made you want to try slim fast? Xx

We got snow pretty bad last week (kids school was closed Monday) then it was more icy till last night when it started again & covered another couple of inch... It's sunny now & forecast loads of rain so hoping it will go soon :)

To be honest I've tried SF before but never stuck to it (a few years ago now) I've had a number of none starts with SW recently - I think because SW isn't like a diet I tend to fixate on things I can't have coz you can eat normally, does that make sense?!? So thought I'd give SF a go while it was on offer... Hoping once the weight starts coming off it'll make me more determined to keep going :)

What about you?

Well I've done SF before at my slimmest for a holiday. I combined with with ww at the time I think. Now I've got a hol coming up again and I'm alot heavier than I was. I found my old diary from when I was on it last time and i seemed to have good losses and I was happy too (suffered from depression before) so I thought I'd give it another go as the vlcd just aren't for me it's too strict and I like my carbs! So I think SF is a happy medium. I was bit worries about the amount of sugar in it but it seems to be working for me and it stops my major sugar cravings so I'm glad for that. Also been reading some success stories and there were a few who had lost quite a bit on SF which I was glad to read as I have a long way to go. Hoping to lose a stone a month before my hol x

A stone per month is a really good goal & definitely achievable :) we aren't going on holiday till June 2014 so I have plenty of time to get sorted but at the minute I'm getting bigger not smaller :( well I'm hoping to stick to SF for the next 6 weeks (plus 2 days off plan at the end off feb) & team it up with the biggest loser 6 week slim down DVD (got it in poundland last week BARGAIN!) & see how I get on from there :)

Where you going on holiday?
