Slimfast

[Daffodils78]

Who's with me? Got 2 stone to lose

Also going to up my water and activity and exercise

has it worked for anyone? thanks

Having a good second day! Feel a bit lightheaded and shaky today tho! How much tea/coffee is everyone drinking?

rosie I just eAt what I see... I’m just a pig, I don’t know why I do it. Yesterday was great all day as I was manic, get home and did dinner (enchiladas so not the best) and went out to kitchen to get water before bed and for no reason I ate one of the caramel bars. Wasn’t hungry.

I’m finding since I’m calorie counting I weigh more. Why?!?

I’m drinking normal coffee intake. Skimmed milk no sugar. I have about 5 a day. I lost A LOT of weight with slimming world but came to a standstill and wanted a change

Ps. I also weigh everyday. I find it keeps me on track. I don’t think it’s an issue. Just always in a morning when I get up.

Struggling today with the shakes 😩 I’ve gave in and had two choc digestives feel so upset I gave in on second day!

2 biscuits won’t kill u. Don’t give up. Try the meal replacement bars instead of the shakes or have lunch instead of dinner if u can’t go that long without a meal. I’ve been having lunch and meal replacement for dinner with a options hot choc

Hi everyone, sorry this is embarrassing but has anyone had a terrible upset tummy? Not sure if it's because I'm drinking so more green tea & water plus two shakes. Today's been terrible

Mines been grumbling bubbling away lots!! I’ve just had a nice salad feeling better about the biscuits now 😂 silly I no!! Hope you’ve all had a good day?

Enjoying the bars much more than the shakes. Thinking I might have one for breakfast and dinner instead of a shake. Had an alright day. Hope everyone else has. Terrijo glad u didn’t let the biscuits ruin your day 😃

llmb you are not a pig!!
We may have made some bad decisions in the past - in the very recent past, in fact possibly earlier today - but that does not define us & will not define us in the future. We are making good decisions now, we are not sabotaging ourselves, we are able to look at food & look past it. Just because it's there does not mean we have to have it.
When we do this once, we know we have the ability to do it twice, ten times, 100 times.
Sorry if that's a bit lecturing. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I get it - with me it's the conversation in my head: "see, I'm useless, no self control, it's my fault I'm fat (= no good) and I'll always be like that so there's no point trying". So when I do manage to resist temptation then it's a big deal & I start to build up my self esteem etc etc. (Psychoanalysts are welcome to comment!)

rosey you are spot on! This evening all I wanted to do was eat. I wasn’t remotely hungry but watching in my head I keep hearing ‘eat you want to eeeeeaaaat’ !!

I’ve also started to have slimatee at night time as I did Cambridge diet before and this helped me so much with any bloating and things it’s a quiet nice taste too!

You don't want to eeaaaat it, llmb, you're waaayy better than that! 💕

Glad the tea helps, Terrijo - never heard of it before, I guess its a herbal / fruity thing. Where do you get it from?

@Daffodils78 How are you doing today?

Yea it’s a herbal one from Holland and barrets my consultant recommended it to me, it really helps with any toilet troubles 🙈 when you change diets

I only want to lose 2kg. Will slimfast work for me if I only do it for a couple of weeks? How many meals do I need to replace?

Hiya can I join in too?! I'm going to do the Tesco meal replacement shakes as I'm poor but they taste nice so at least that's something!

I'm struggling so much though as dd won't sleep so I'm constantly knackered and want to binge! Dh is crap too as he's always bringing home chocolate so I'm glad I've found this thread.

Will weigh and start tomorrow as I've already scoffed biscuits today!

Hi all. Welcome new people. I think all diets work as long as u stick to them. Day 4 for me and feeling alright 😃

Hello all!! Love this! How many people here 😁 it’s good to talk and ask questions to other people!! I’m off to buy more slimfast today it’s buy on me get one half price in Superdrug 😁😁

How's everyone doing today?
Must admit that I've not had a shake today as it was chilly here at lunchtime & there was some homemade broccoli soup that needed eating. It was made with zero fat & I managed to have a small slice of sourdough without butter (I'm so proud of that!!)
So for tea it's a small portion of homemade coronation chicken (bulked out with lots of crunchy apple) on iceberg lettuce & 10 cherry tomatoes. And I'm eating it really slowly so it feels like a bigger meal

What are you having for tea?

I’ve just had my meal bar and a hot choc. I have my meal at lunch when I’m working. I had a beef and cheese salad sandwich. French fries and a 2 finger kitkat. Yum 😋

Can I just ask has anyone lost any weight yet, if so how long it took? Also what is your total calorie in take each day? Iv put on one lb since doing slim fast 10 days ago! I feel like giving up as my weight should go down not up! Today I’m finishing on 916.l calories. Not deliberately, just randomly not been hungry, maybe the heat? Iv never ever calorie counted and never been ‘over’ weight.....

I am watching this because I have just started a diet with Almased and would like to see if there's any difference.

I've lost 7lb in total, about 2 of which has been assisted by SF plus calorie counting. Today I'm on 1400 kcal (just the way its worked out) with no shake but tomorrow I'll be back on 1 shake for lunch plus muesli & blueberries for breakfast & a small pasta & veg evening meal.

(Unfortunately my chronic illnesses cause blood sugar problems so I try to manage that & have sensible snacks available if I feel ill. I'm not diabetic but could be if I don't lose some weight & manage my blood sugar properly. And that is one heck of a motivator!)

LARLARLAND would you do the shake-only fast? It looks interesting but pretty harsh. I'm sure you'll see results tho!

llmb How's your will power tonight? Thinking of you ignoring temptation!
