Hello everyone,

I've been doing slimfast for the past week and a half and lost 6.4lbs. But today I'm starting Slim & Save :)

One shake down, I was surprised at how tasty it was to be honest.

Well anyways, wish me luck, hopefully the next couple of days won't be too difficult and I'm hoping if it is there will be plenty of support for me here :)

I haven't got any of the soups yet, only shakes, bars and the spicy spaghetti, are the soups worth getting?

I think I'm lucky that I did slim fast a week and a half before this as it has made my tummy smaller, I get full up a lot easier so I think starting this might be easier because of it, so far so good but it's only halfway through the day

Well I'm starting at about 11 and a half stone and my goal is to get back to 9st, but I'm going to do what slim and save suggest of getting to 4lb below target before re-feeding, assuming I can stick it out that long.

How long have you been doing it?

The soups are worth trying im just using up old stock that I have left before I order anymore. I prefer all shakes myself.

I did it last year from january going feom size 18-20 down to a 12. So I started this just over a week ago at 13.5 size 12 with muffin top lol. Anyway my goal is 10 stone size 8-10. Shall be on it until july I think. Youll get to your goal if you can manage slim fast im sure you can manage this. Weight loss is great on here I lost 10lbs first week so defo worth doing.thus no muffin tops and jeans fit nice lol.

I'm the same at the moment (size 12 with muffin top), when I was 9st before I was a small size 8 but still untoned and a bit podgey, I'm hoping to get to 9 stone as well as tone up and be happy this time. Really want to follow this properly and do the re-feeding properly as well.

So with around 38lbs to lose I'm hoping to get to goal by the end of July at the absolute latest :)

I certainly hope so, how do you find exercising on so few calories? Is it ok?
 
Re: LifesDesire's Slim & Save Journey

Youll feel drained during first two weeks but any exercise you do already is fine to continue just dony take anything extra in the first two weeks after that I find im full if energy. I ran 10k on it before
 
wow, ok, I'll stick to simple things like walking for a couple weeks then, then i want to start doing couch to 5k, so maybe the first week of that will be alright after a week on this plan... I hope so :) can't wait to see the results
 
Re: LifesDesire's Slim & Save Journey

Hi and welcome :)
I've resumed my normal exercise routine on week 3 and I feel fine. I workout up to 4 times a week and I usually do high intensity circuits, body pump or spin. I also have a pt session once a week.
If your body is used to exercising it'll cope on less calories. It just needs to adapt.
I usually up my protein intake by an extra protein shake on my workout days though to make sure I don't lose any muscle.

Good luck on your journey :)
