I drink it for breakfast on the days I go to work, have for years. My favorite is the Cappuccino one.

skeptic · 25/08/2005 14:42

I never found it filling enough .

Nat777 · 25/08/2005 22:13

Does it actually help with weight loss?

Thought this was another Milupa thread sneaking in by the backdoor

I like the strawberry/banana shake, chocolate bars are ok aswell. The frozen meals are quite good aswell, Italian Chicken is really nice.

andyrobo237 · 01/09/2005 18:49

My favourite is the cafe classic and the Mocha - both freat for brekkie - but makes your wee smell!!

Steppy1 · 05/09/2005 20:55

...started it today (with DH) so hope can stick with it...and lose lots of weight !!!!!

Steppy1 · 07/09/2005 15:21

...I've lost 3 pounds already - DH lost 4 !!!!

Nat777 · 07/09/2005 18:31

Are you having one for breakie and one for lunch? Does it actually fill you up? Well done by the way!

Steppy1 · 13/09/2005 18:34

...was doin really well but then lost the plot....only lost a pound in the week.DH by the way lost 7 because he stuck to it (envy) trying to get back on track (typical diet for me, really enthusiastic for a few days then los it !!)

vickiyumyum · 15/09/2005 14:36

am considering doing this instead of lighterlife, as i don't mind the tast of slimfast sahkes and soups, whereas can't stand the lighterlife ones and also it is far cheaper than lighterlife.

anyone else have any success stories? tips?

vickiyumyum · 15/09/2005 21:19

bump! anyone?

vickiyumyum · 18/09/2005 18:03

anyone? just me then!

andyrobo237 · 19/09/2005 15:48

Well me as well! I have lost 2 lbs in two weeks partly on Slimfast. Whrn I can I have two shakes a day, otherwise I alsways have one for breakfast. Gotta keep going - need to lose the stone I put on since last xmas!

vickiyumyum · 19/09/2005 19:18

glad i'm not the only one doing this then. i started off on the lighterlife diet but had to quit mainly due to finances, i just couldn't afford £46.50 per week! and secondly because it made me throw up!
am now halfway through my first week on slimfast and couldn't help but weigh myself and had lost 4lb so really pleased with that (lost 1stone in one week on lighter life, but am happy with 4lb) would be nice to lose that every week, but suspect that is probably very ambitious.

Nat777 · 19/09/2005 22:09

Can anyone answer, does one for breakie and one for lunch actually fill you up? Thanks!

andyrobo237 · 20/09/2005 17:34

I don't get too hungry haveing them for lunch & breakfast, but I also have fruit mid-morning and a couple of plain ryvita mid afternoon to keep me going!

lillylove · 13/10/2005 22:57
