    Slimfast April Challenge

    Hi Everyone. Having lost two pounds in the first week of April I have since managed to put on three!!! ( Easter, you know how it is ) I have lost two of those extra pounds but feel it would be a bit cheeky to include them in my total..... So now I have to loose four pounds in 7 days, unlikely I...

    Starting tomorow!!

    Good Luck Jazzyy, You sound completely in control. You are right that you loose more quickly to begin with and a lot of us here know the horrors of "the Plateau" but I think it is a great diet and is suiting me just fine. I am a bar person rather than a shake person as I do like something to...

    100% day today - Thursday

    Yep, I 'm up for a perfect day. Yesterday went fine until a crisis with my daughters GCSE coursework caused us both to scoff down an Easter Egg which was taunting us in the kitchen. Luckily only a small one . Just lots and lots of coffee today.

    Great idea. One problem. I have no idea how to" copy and paste". Some one may have to do that bit for me.:confused: After a weekend of gorging I am only eating two bars and fruit today. Nearly 4pm and things are going well, just have to get over that early evening hump.....

    Slimfast April Challenge

    Hi, I have not posted for a while as have not had a brilliant couple of weeks and I am too ashamed to admit it. I have not put anything on but there is an obvious lack of loss. I will renew my efforts in April and aim to loose 6 pound. Now it is in writing I have no option have I? The trouble...

    a new start?

    Welcome, I agree, the best thing about Slimfast is not having to think about meals too much. I like to think of it as a poor mans Cambridge or Lighter Life. I have just discovered mini snack a jacks at 89 cals per bag which I have as a snack. I am not very good at drinking lots of water. I...

    Feeling conflicted.. need some guidance please!

    Hi, I know where you are coming from. The trouble with diets are that they not a true reflection of real life. We just become so obsessed with every calorie and that makes us think about food all the time and that is just not right. It would be so lovely to just eat the right amount and not...

    what does everyone drink on slimfast?

    I have about 2 large cafetieres of coffee each day plus a couple of cans of diet coke. I do drink some water but I don't very often feel thirsty. I know I should drink a lot more but for some reason I just don't. I know on Atkins diet drinks are thought to be the work of the devil and that...

    does anyone allow themselves little treats?

    God Yes, If I didn't have the odd treat I would go mad. Last week I had wine and pork scratchings on Friday night. As long as it is only every now and again and I don't have any gains then I will have them. If I put on a pound or two then I may have to re consider but at the moment I am...

    What will you do when you've lost the weight?

    Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. I may pretend that I am doing all this for health reasons and to get into the normal BMI range but that really is nonsense. I am vain and want to look good and that is the only inspiration. Shallow as a puddle, me.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY SPARKLEWINGS. I have not had a brilliant 10 days diet wise. I haven't been really bad but small things seem to be leaping into my mouth, bits of cheese while doing the children's tea, the odd square of chocolate, a glass of wine here and there. While these in them selves are...

    Weekly Weigh In....Anyone?

    Hello Everyone, Stayed the same this week. But as everyone says, better than gaining. I am mega hormonal and pre menstrual, you know that feeling when you think your bosoms are about to take over the world, so am hoping some of it is fluid retention. If it is I should wake up on Monday morning...

    Weigh in!

    Congratulations, I too like the products and think the idea of having a slim fast meal a day long term will be my salvation. At least you know where you are and how many cals you are getting down which is basically the trick for weight loss and maintenance. To loose, eat less than you need, to...

    no loss

    Hi, There may be some secret cals sneaking in, milk in teas etc. I think the diet that Slimfast recommend is actually a bit high for most of us, try tinkering with it a bit and use their stuff plus other food , thats what I do. I have had a dreadful day, we had friends to lunch, full roast...

    Morning All, 1 1/2lbs off this week so I now weigh 11 10. This was after 4 very good days, two middling days and one day that I ate everything which wasn't tied down, so I feel pretty good. Jeans are definitely a little baggy and teenage daughter showing signs of stress that I may be getting...

    Hello! trying to decide what to do

    I quite often hold my breath and suck in my gut when on the scales, I am sure it makes a difference, perhaps I should be doing some deep breathing out instead. Re continually hopping on scales, I have been known to completely undress at lunch time for a quick weigh. Not any more of course.:sigh:

    Hello! trying to decide what to do

    Hi, I think the good thing about Slimfast is that it is a calorie controlled diet which takes the choice away from you for two meals, therefore removing the possibility of making mistakes. I usually have fruit for my snacks so leaving an extra 100 cals or so for my supper, a square or two of...
