Hiya Folks,
I just thought I'd introduce myself and see if I can get some support through the forum. That's me just finished my second day of Slimfast. So far it's going okay. Yesterday was a breeze but I think I've definitely felt a bit more hungry today. I'm looking forward to getting to my first weigh-in to see how effective it is though. Even though I only started yesterday, I'll be having my usual weigh-ins on a Monday. This is because I work offshore and I leave home on a Monday to join my platform on a Tuesday. I won't be able to weigh-in while I'm offshore so I'll have 3 weeks worth of results and 2 where I'm away usually. I will be taking Slimfast away with me though so I'll see how it goes.
Yesterday I started the day with a strawberry shake made from the powder and skimmed milk. I just used a cocktail shaker to mix it up as it was faster and easier to clean than the blender. I have to say that I quite enjoyed it. I've seen on other threads that some people don't really like the powdered shakes but so far I'm impressed. For my morning snack I had a packet of sour cream and chive pretzels which were good enough. I thought I'd try a summer berry meal bar. Can't say I was over enamoured but it was edible enough. In the afternoon I had a chocolate caramel treat snack bar which I have to say must now be one of my favourite sweets. Very impressed! At night I had pasta carbonara using a recipe from the Philadelphia range. Very nice and under the 600 kcal mark. In the evening I had a KitKat to finish off the day. Over the course of the day I also made sure I had my 2 litres of water and also had a couple of cheeky cans of Diet Coke. Felt rather good about myself by the end of the day.
Today I started again with the strawberry shake. Morning snack was the Heavenly Chocolate Delight snack bar (quite tasty). Lunch was a ready made Simply Vanilla Shake which was lovely. In the afternoon I had a packet of Cheddar flavour bites. Again, quite tasty. For my dinner I made a quick Chicken Cordon Bleau from one of the Hairy Dieters books along with a couple of sweetcorn fritters and some salad. Very nice! Not had my supper yet but it's all going good. I'm not feeling overly hungry so I think I might be able to manage this.
I've also got a dog which I walk for about 3 miles every day so with the reduced amount of calories I'm on, I think that's plenty exercise to be getting on with.
I'm really looking forward to sharing tips and stories with other people on here. It's always nice to have a bit of support from like minded people. Thanks for reading my waffle. I hope to keep it up till I'm the size I want to be.
