I don't really have any advice because I get the same reaction. I've put on weight this week and I'm a bit annoyed but I'm not telling anyone in case of the eye rolls and the why are you even dieting anyway, you better watch it doesn't turn into an obsession, kind of comments. Slimming world can...

2.5lbs off. Was not expecting that after a bit of a dodgy week!!

Well done everyone! I decided to weigh on a Saturday as even though I technically started SW 9 days ago, I didn't have scales until 2 days after I started. Anyway 3.5lbs off for me! Wasn't expecting that. I thought maybe 1lb and would have been chuffed even with that!

Hi there. Yes actually I do have plenty of frozen veg in the house but I've made a couple of stir fries so I prefer fresh for that. Plus I need SW chips in my life so lots of peeling and chopping required there :-) I definitely won't have a choice at least a couple of times a week though, will...

Hi everyone! I was a user of this forum 3 years ago to lose pregnancy weight, I was on slim fast at the time and successfully managed to lose a stone on it in quite a short space of time. However the inevitable happened and I've slowly put almost all of it back on. So decided as I don't have a...

Aww thanks guys! Have sts this week and last oh well can't have it all. I've been sort of slowing up on the shakes anyway lately to try and slow the weight loss even more so that I can find my maintenance calorie intake easily. I'd be happy to just lose 1lb every couple of weeks now until I...

Thanks for that, must try to drink a bit more then! P.S I love your Peppa Pig avatar!

Just a little happy post really to say I've lost a stone! 7 weeks of a pretty relaxed variation of SF and a good few off-days but I've done it! Yay!

Hi! Well I must say slim fast does work if you follow it the way you're meant to. I'm a few weeks in and I'm currently having a bit of a blip with it being my birthday and Valentine's in the space of a week. Lots of eating out and drinking!! But on the whole it's going well. Good luck with it...

And it's almost Wednesday again! I see you stayed the same last week, wonder how you'll get on tomorrow. It was my birthday yesterday and I've eaten out 3 times in last week, so that combined with Valentine's day will all probably show up on the scales for me on Sunday... Gxx

It doesn't seem to be affecting my weight loss only drinking 1l a day though so I just wonder if it's really necessary to drink 2l?? I have a really sensitive bladder as well so even just one glass of water has me running to the loo every 30mins! Gxx

I'm finding it hard to get even 1.5l down me. I'm mainly used to drinking just tea/coffee/diet pop etc... I've switched the fizzy stuff to no added sugar squash but even at that I'm struggling to drink so much, and I don't like drinking water so I just add a tiny splash of squash. Is it really...

I think the only problem with drinking just 3 shakes a day is that, as someone else explained to me in another thread, if your body gets used to that low calorie intake (3 shakes a day would only be 600-660 calories) you would need to keep up a low intake in order to not put on weight again. So...

Could you imagine?? Haha! New miracle diet, 3.5 Mars Bars per day and nothing else... No thanks! Gxx

Thanks for that rowanx2, I guess that makes sense really. So it's just about trying to find that magic number of calories that I can have without putting weight back on. I always wondered why so many people who lose weight struggle to keep it off when so many others who don't put weight on in...

So, is it true that your stomach shrinks once you've been on the diet a while? Because if it does, what happens when you start upping your calories again to maintain the weight after you've lost it? I have visions of eating a huge meal and getting my rather large appetite back then putting all...

Oooh now there's a thought, 1400 calories worth of chocolate a day! What's that, about 5 Mars Bars or something? Haha!

Yeah that's sort of what I was thinking adapting it to my own needs. Like today I just couldn't face a shake at lunch so had a pitta bread with low fat houmous instead yum! I have a funny feeling I haven't lost weight this week though after eating out twice! I did try to be good while out but...

Wow well done good achievement! I know what you mean about not feeling any different, I thought after half a stone I'd look thinner but I just look the same after 8lbs haha! Congrats on your loss keep up the good work! Gxx

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, been on SF 3 weeks now and have lost 8lbs. I don't have a lot to lose, want to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight so I haven't been following the diet too religiously. I've been doing a sort of variation of it, I have 1 weetabix or some ready brek in the...

I think the advice would be not to do it that way unless you speak to a doctor. To be honest depending on how much you're eating at the moment I think even Slim Fast the proper way is a bit of a kickstart anyway, it was a complete shock to my system the first week and I was hungry all the time...
