I'm back on it too, ordered 30 shakes 2 weeks ago and eventually collected them last night!! My willpower is so poor, I had a shake this morning and thought I'll have a salad for lunch but no, that's just wimping out, so I had another shake half an hour ago. I have to do it, none of my clothes...

Hi Sarah! I lost 4lbs in my first week then 3lbs then stayed at 2lbs for the other 4 weeks then I fell off the wagon! I think it depends how much you have to lose? I have quite a lot so I'll lose more in the first few weeks. I'm back on it from today and this forum has gone a bit quiet...

Once again I joined Slimming World and once again I'm too greedy to follow it. Back on the Slim Fast shakes today in the hope of some discipline being instilled in me! It doesn't help that I've had plans every weekend since I joined SW which involved either eating or drinking - or both!!! If I...

Hello and welcome back!! I'm starting again today too, been off it for a few weeks and at the weekend I looked like a sausage tied in half when I put my jeans on. Disgusting! I have a dance in 6 weeks so would be chuffed to lose 7lbs by then. I'm doing it slowly so I don't pile it all back on. I...

Hello! I'm starting again from today. SW worked for me but very slowly and my portion control was out of control so I find SF really helps me to stay on track. I've been off it for the past few weeks due to work and school holidays but feeling motivated today and determined to lose a stone...

I'm back!!!! Been off it for a few weeks due to work and school holidays but today I am back on track and SERIOUSLY doing it this time!!! B: Vanilla shake (230 cals) S: 2 small satsumas (about 50 cals) L: Sainsburys BGTY chicken noodle cup a soup (59 cals) Strawberry Shake (230 cals) S: Apple...

Brilliant Tinkerbell!!!! I'm back on it today after a wobbly week. Really glad to be back on track though! :)

Here I am, back on track after a dodgy week off due to school half term break and friends visiting. (No excuse I know but it kind of is?!) Today: B - bran flakes & 1% milk (248 cals) - I bought shakes on my way to work S - Small apple L - Banana shake (first try, really nice!) & a banana (I'm...

Thanks for the tips! Back on here after a week of absence due to work and a busy weekend. Back on track today. Hope you had a great holiday!!! xx

Enjoy your holidays! You deserve it!! :)

Hi sooom! This is the start of my 3rd week but I had a blow out this weekend (we had friends staying) so I'm scared to weigh in this morning. I suffer from IBS too, some days I'm fine but others I get the usual stomach cramps etc. I think the chocolate one sets me off & if I don't drink it...

Hello all Slim Fasters! I've been putting off this question but how many of us do regular exercise? What type and how long? Also, did you find it made a big difference in your losses? I've given myself until the end of next week to get used to the new diet regime (that'll be the end of my 3rd...

:worthy: 7 stone is amazing, well done you!!! And from what I've been reading, it looks like exercise is the key. You should be soooo proud of yourself! I bet people barely recognise you now. Brilliant!!!

How are you getting on Tiggerific? Half way through your first week! :clap:

LOL you're not a weirdo! I felt a bit like that at the end of last week (which was my first week) but I put it down to my period being due. Could be anything to do with that? Also if I don't drink loads of water I feel a bit gross at night time. That's just me though. Yesterday I had my...

Enjoy your holidays!!! Don't be thinking about weight, we can deal with that afterwards! ?

Welcome Tiggeriffic!! I'm the same, did WW a few years ago and lost a lot, did Slimming World and lost some but it wasn't fast enough for me and there was too much freedom. I have a tea or glass of sugar free cordial in the morning then a shake at 9.30, snack (normally a banana or something)...

I am running like Forrest Gump on speed!!! :) How are you getting on??

I too used to do Slimming World but my portion control was out of control. SF means I'm in control during the day and can be a bit more free at dinner time as long as I stay around the 600 calorie mark. I normally have fruit as my snacks during the day but the other day I had a small apple in...

Well done! Glad someone else is on this journey too. Loving the spring roll info, I'll defo have to try some of them :) xx

OK so I weighed myself last Monday morning (1st Sept) and I was 16stone and 1/2lb (oh the shame). Then I weighed myself this Monday morning just past (8th Sept) and I was 15stone 11 1/4lbs, then this morning I weighed myself and I am now 15stone 6 1/4lbs - that can't be right?!? Last week was...

Thanks Tinkerbell! Thankfully it was just a bug. So far so good!!

Hey! Not bad but haven't followed the plan since Thursday. Had our trial of school dinners at my son's school on Friday then friends round. Been trying to count calories yesterday and today. Weighed myself tonight and lost 3lbs since last Sunday night so I'm chuffed with that! How are you...

Yeah I think I might get some as I really fancied some actual food for lunch today but stuck to my shake. Thanks for the tip! :)

Are the meal bars nice?? I'll have to try some of them next week but scared they're not as filling as the shakes? Well done with the housework!! :)

Much better today thanks! I actually felt fine by 3pm yesterday although the only thing I had all day was my first shake and water.........so ended up having a spring roll and some rice when my husband went to the chinese for dinner!! Oops. :( Never mind, today is a new day! B - Choc shake at...

Yep it is :( xx

Hey! I'm exactly the same. I'm a greedy guys so need to wind it in and slim fast does this for me. Even at dinner time my portions are half what they would normally be because I'm not that hungry?! I have an upset stomach today but hoping it's a bug and not the shakes as I really want to do...

Yum this sounds great!!! Thanks for the tip xxx

Has anyone had any nasty side effects??? This morning I had a cup of tea at 7am then a shake at 8.45. By 10am I had the most agonising stomach pains and had to run to the loo. Twice. At work!!! I've been ok since then but scared to have a shake for lunch in case it's that?? I hope it's a big as...

Day 2 - I've had a dull headache all day, I think it's just from lack of fluids as I've not been hungry like yesterday. I drank 2l of water but think I need to up it. I've been cranky too. I'm not letting a headache put me off!!! Anyway today's food: B SF choc shake at 9.30 Snack - banana at...

I know but we can do it!! Just need to be realistic with timescales. I didn't put on 5lbs a week so I can't expect to lose 5lbs a week ?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this correctly but here goes. My first try on Slim Fast after failed attempts on Slimming World (too much freedom) and Weight Watchers (all changed & I didn't like it). Day 1 - shake at 7.30am, banana at 10.30, shake at 12, apple at 2, starving by 3.45 but also had a...

Hi Loser85 - I had gallstones in 2012 and had my gallbladder removed after a year on a waiting list. Any low fat diet will really help stop the pain from the stones, I hope this helps and you get the op. It's the best thing I ever did! However because I can now eat all fatty food, I've put on...

Hello This is day 1 for me for my first ever time on Slim Fast. Going ok so far but I'm busy at work which helps. Think I'll go to Asda tonight to stock up on some SF snacks as fruit and veggies are going to get boring. I'm just trying to do this for 2 weeks to start with to see how I get on...

SO glad I'm not the only one who thought the mushroom was rubbish! I'm going to try the thai chicken one today at work and yes good tip, make it thinner so it's less foamy. I can feel my headache coming on again so going to take more painkillers. I've read this is common so that's made me feel...

Good luck! I started yesterday xx

My day was ok yesterday until I got home. I cooked dinner for my husband and 3 year old, that was fine, made my mushroom soup, tasted it and it made me gag, it was awful!! I wasn't really hungry anyway as I had the most horrendous headache, I've never had a migraine but this was the worst pain...

LOL!! I was just thinking the same today! I eat as if someone is about to steal it from me. HOG!! xx

Me too!!! I had a shake and a bar, been drinking loads of water and avoiding my colleagues huge tin of Roses and shortbread. Normally I'd be straight in there by 10am!! Glad to hear someone else is really motivated! We can do it!!! :)

I'm new too, just started today. Had a banana shake this morning and a bar for lunch. Wasn't too bad. I've done slim fast before and WW and like you all I've put it all back on and more! One question, I've read people are drinking boullion while doing the total solution? Never saw anything...

Hello everyone! Desperate to shift at least 14lbs before 22nd Jan when I go to Dubai for my 30th birthday. Need support from others hence why I'm here!
