Would anyone be interested in a Slim Fast Christmas challenge?

Hi everyone,

After reaching my heaviest weight ever I am considering giving Slim Fast a go. I know it's not for everyone but I've tried it in the past and I think it's quite good for a kickstart. I also think taking choices away in terms of food and keeping it simple is good for me. I have a particularly busy time at work over the next few months too and often miss lunch but a shake is easy to fit in so I thought that it might be a good fit for this time of year.

Is anyone already doing Slim Fast and how are you getting on? Would anyone be interested in giving it a go and supporting each other to see how much we can lose for Christmas?

YES YES YES

Been looking at Slim Fast, cost puts me off a bit though and whether realistically I can stick to it.

Don’t know anyone in RL that has had success with it.

So this week was a bit of a disaster - have felt pretty rough for most of it. I want to actually do this properly but I'm worrying about whether this is the right approach. I like the idea of using meal replacements for a few reasons but having put a lot of weight on in quite a short period I am currently waiting for the results of tests to see if I have PCOS. If I do, from some of the reading I've done, it sounds like it is advisable to reduce sugar - Slim Fast is quite sweet and I'm worried that it might not be a good idea - does anyone else have PCOS and know anything about this?
