I don't think there's any reason why you couldn't do them together, however I'm wondering why you want to. You by all accounts are eating a low fat, nutritious diet, with plenty of fruit and veg, why would you want to replace one of your meals with a meal replacement bar?

hey hun! i meant to add my "why" to my post to Abz!
The "why" is because I find I'm an "all or nothing" kind of girl, so if I take all temptation out of the way and wake up knowing that I can have this for breakfast, this for lunch, this for tea.... etc then i'll be more focused and stick to it better!!
SO i was gonna do:
*cereal for brekkie with a smoothie
*cereal for dinner with a smoothie
*meal for tea,
snack on fruit etc...
but with that I was worried I'd go too low under on cals and thus not lose any weight / slow my metabolism down, and i was worried about lack of nutrients etc... but SF is meant to be nutritionally complete isnt it? and each shake is at least 215cals, and a balanced amount of fat....so was thinking this is way forward??
I actually like the taste of SF too, and their chocolate bars are to die for!! So I was going to get some tonight, start this tomorrow for a week and then next week eat as Ive already been eating (low fat, cal counting) then week after SF, and alternate.

Do you mean replace your smoothy and cereal for SF? If so, then I think you're going to take your calories down too low. I honestly think you're eating a healthy balanced diet, getting your calories and nutrients from fresh healthy food. I would maybe have a SF bar as say a midafternoon snack, but I honestly don't think you need to go down the meal replacement route.
Our bodies don't like it very much when we lose weight, that's why sometimes its damn hard to shift that one pound
but I also think that sometimes if we become to restrictive then we are setting ourselves up for failure and will ultimately sabotage ourselves. I'm NOT saying at all that this is what's going to happen to you, not one bit, but what I am saying is this...be kind to yourself, you're eating a low fat, healthy diet, with plenty of fruit and veg. You exercise regularly. You're doing everything right. I just don't want you putting pressure on yourself.
With all that being said, what ever you decide, you know I'll help and support you all the way
Need to get my backside into gear, I've got the dentist in 15 minutes..catch you later xxxx

i have to say that i agree. sf isn't nutritionally complete in any case. that's why you need to have a meal during the day too.
i think having a sf bar in addition to your cereal and smoothie might be an idea to stop your cals getting too low, but not instead. still. it's up to you

I have up to 1800 calories a day and I'm losing weight. Some days I'll have around 1500, some days a bit more, and somedays up to 1800. I try never to go below 1500 though, especially on the days I'm at the gym. Go too low and your body will go into starvation mode hun and hang onto every ounce of fat for dear life.

p.s Abz it shouldnt be too pricey as all the SF products are on offer at my Tesco at the moment, and gonna look at getting a tin of the shake power (which does about 12 shakes i think??) and then gonna get packs of the snack bars, and my normal fruit, water and nice choices for my 600cal meal so only slightly more than my normal shop.
I don't even know if I'm DEF gonna do this yet, gonna have a look in Tesco and take a nosey at the products and see what I fancy doing. xxxx
p.s Ali you're doing fantastically well! your pics are amazing! you look like a different person in your April 07 pic compared to Aug 09!! FAB! xxxx

Hey Katie, ooohh you're shopping trip sounds fab! cant wait til the lbs (or stone! lol!) start falling off so I can go shopping for new things! I REFUSE to buy anything new in this size as i dont want any sort of logic to stay this big.... dont know whats happening with Curves yet, im waiting on my friend and when she can go, otherwise I have to pay the £130 so thats a bum!
Hope this weather stays this nice for you for Fri! It's gorge in Wales! Which Butlins are you going to?
Well I've started my day with a Slim fast Meal Bar (chocolate crunch) and I'm a bit worried about doing SF and Xenical, as the meals AND the powder seem to both go over the 5g/100g rule?? but as a WHOLE meal they don't go over 5.9g for the bars and 6g for the shake, so should be ok??
Gonna take it day-by-day and see how I feel after today anyway...i'm going to make sure I still eat plenty of fruit all day and have lots of protein and veg with my main meal!
I actually got the Tesco Healthy Options version of the SF as it was considerably cheaper for the powder, and it says you can have 3 of those a day (as its only 170cals/shake) so I'm going to have:
Breakfast - Slimfast Meal Bar - 206 cals // 5.9g Fat
Dinner - chicken breast with jacket potato and peas -575cals // 5.2g Fat
Unlimited salad (lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, no dressings)
Tea - a strawberry shake
Snacks - Slim fast chocolate bars, apples, satsumas, grapes, mullerlight yogurts, and can have another shake if I want.
I'm going to the beach today with my friend who I havent seen for AGGGGGES so we're going to go for lunch at a nice restaurant/pub on the seafront, so i'm having my main meal as my lunch then a shake for tea, so OH can have something gloriously fattening for tea tonight coz he doesnt have to worry what i'm having!
I SHOULD be feeling annoyed this morning, but it's just made me determined that I'm just going to stick to this and prove everyone wrong!! I was talking to my mum about my diet and my dad just sat there smirking, so I asked why was he laughing and he said "come on Lyns, we've heard all this before, you've been on & off a diet since you were 17 and you've never stuck to it, so why's it going to be any different this time?"
So I said, "its different this time because I've got Annabelle. I dont want to be the "fat mummy" picking her up from school, I want to be the yummy mummy! I want to be able to go to sports day with her and run in the mummy's race, I want to be able to take her swimming and run after a ball with her on the beach.....It's going to work this time because it HAS to, I'm not doing it for vanity this time, I'm doing it for health reasons, and basically if it doesnt work, I'm having WLS."
So there!!!! Lol.
Right, gotta shower, dress Bella, pack Bella's meals and milk and generally just get ready.

hey guys, just a quick one coz im shattered,
didnt have food out, had a picnic at St Fagans instead, so I stuck to my slim fast bar, a SF choc bar and an apple.
Was STARVING when I got home, so had Healthy Living lasagne (400cals) and Uncle Ben's Savoury chicken micro rice (185cals)
Also had a mullerlite yogurt, a pack of quavers and another SF bar!
So first day in and one snack over plan! Not too bad!
Not sure if SF is for me! shouldve listened to all you girlies! I was starving!! and will prob end up eating MORE cals by eating the SF stuff, still feeling hungry and then eating proper food too!
Gonna decide how i feel tomorrow, i still like the idea of having the products in the house for when im not feeling too hungry, dont know what to have .......its an easy-to-grab option, especially when im bk in work/school and dont have time to stop for dinner, i can just sip on a shake..........
Going to bed now before I eat anymore! lol!
