    SLIMFAST NEWBIES - Introductions

    Hello, I've started my third week on SlimFast and I am loving it. It's so easy and takes all the thought away from food! I will pop in here from time to time for a chat :)

    Amazon deals.

    Yes the tubs of powder are half price on Amazon too so I will use them when the offers in the high street shops have all finished! I stocked up on lots of tins of powder last week when Morrisons were doing buy one, get two free :) I just checked the Morrisons website and the Buy One, Get Two...

    Should i - shouldn't i?

    Hello! I tried Exante VLCD once but never got through a single day - mainly as I thought they tasted rank! I've been on SlimFast for two weeks now and have lost 17lbs so I'm really happy with that! I presume the weightloss will slow down but it's certainly been a boost to lose that amount in...

    Tell him he'll be a lot more scared, and very near to death, if his appendix ruptures. Seriously, if you suspect appendicitis, get him to a doctor. My mum was in hospital a few weeks ago and there was a woman across the ward from her whose appendix had ruptured, and the morning after the op...

    Total Solution I've started so can join you officially now!

    :D Just drunk my first shake for brekkie. Not sure about the taste. It was vanilla and was a little too creamy for my liking but I kept thinking thin and downed it. Aftertaste isn't too bad though. Taken my measurements today, and weighed myself, so it'll be a weekly Wednesday weigh-in...

    They got my order wrong :(

    Oh no how annoying :( I hope they rectify it soon for you. I was surprised at the lack of literature. I just got a fold-out leaflet and that was it. I guess they're keeping costs down and I'm used to getting tons of stuff from SW (I joined there three times!). A bit more 'stuff' alongside the...

    Tell me I'm not hungry people!

    Go and clean your teeth, then everything will taste yucky for a while anyway, so you won't want to eat it :) Also, it's not going to do any harm to feel hunger, and the hunger will pass... I know it's an uncomfortable feeling, but our bodies aren't designed to keel over at the first feeling...

    How tge hell- please stop me raiding the cupboard!

    Water seeps into your body as you shower but unlikely 3lbs, but we do weigh less in the morning. STOP weighing yourself, you'll end up driving yourself crazy and could self-sabotage. I bet you'll weigh less again in the morning. Ditch the scales, hide them - no need to weigh more than once a...

    Why do this?

    I honestly think that being 'big' suits some people. They are pretty, they are outgoing, they have a good time, their skin glows, they have fabulous hair etc etc. I am NOT one of those people. I look and feel too big, fat, too unhealthy, ugly. Being this size does not suit me at all, so for me...

    I'm new and have a couple of questions

    Thanks for the new replies :) Foodjunkie, have a look on Amazon and search 'beck diet solution' - it's a book that talks about changing how you think about food and I hope that reading that alongside doing the vlcd will keep me focused! I really think I'm going to do this :)

    home made hummus how long will it last?

    I think it should do yep. If it smells ok, I'd eat it!! I can never make it last though. I use 400g tin of chickpeas and Syn some philly cheese to use in it, add some lemon juice, salt & pepper and I usually end up eating half of it before I've actually used it for anything :o I love hummus :D

That way, repeat offenders may get the message that if they post in the wrong place, they're not going to get...

    Suddenly Changing Shape

    Well done! If you're working out lots then you're going to be more toned, have more muscle, and muscle, pound for pound, takes up less space than fat, so even though you may not have lost weight, you're becoming slimmer because you're more toned :) Keep up the great work!!

    Eating more

    6 Syns is fine to have - have between 5 and 15 each day :) I eat a lot more now than I did before, but I'm eating healthy foods, not big slabs of chocolate. The type of food you're eating now will help you lose weight, as well as leaving you satisfied and not hungry. Believe in it, it works :)

    Different ways with veg
