Anyone want to do slim fast with me?

I’m so down about my weight which has just gone up and up, especially since meeting my current partner who is food obsessed! We both love our food but I’m the one ending up looking like a beach ball while he keeps offering, buying and cooking all sorts!

I need to break the habit and I’ve told him I’m going to completely do my own thing for a while food-wise. I think slim fast is the simplest and I quite like the shakes and snacks. Hoping for fairly speedy results and then to transition to normal healthy eating!

Anyone want to join me?

Yes I will give it a go. I have an unopened tin of strawberry shake in the cupboard, it will need dusting off!

I am so unhappy with how I look. I weigh around 12 stone and am 5'4. Not a great combination.

Well done Nixie! Starting tomorrow? We’ll update as we go! I just really feel the need for moral support with it as I’m struggling to get any kind of control over it.

Yes starting tomorrow, I've messed today up already. I ate cake 😁

On the plus side, I walked the dogs.

I ate cake too, but to be fair it’s my son’s birthday weekend! Good luck with tomorrow. We can do this! 👍👍

Following.
I have just ordered Shake the Weight which I think is similar. I've ordered 2 weeks of shakes and snacks.
I'm 5'3" and 12.7stone. I have lost a little but not enough.
I have been doing the 30day shred for past month, just started level 3 today and although i do feel fitter and have more definition in my stomach/ waist i havent lost anything through it.
I have tried 16:8 IF in the past so need to start that again. I find it really difficult in the evenings to not eat.

How's it going so far? I've had my shakes and my snacks, quite nice. I'm a bit hungry but not too bad - looking forward to dinner!

Can I join?

Will be starting tomorrow! Got to shift some lbs for IVF.

Hi LolaGrace, yes of course! Good luck and keep us updated. 😊

Day 1 - breakfast bar and got my 2L of water to down!

LaNomintude · 15/09/2020 14:21

Well done! I've been good today too so far, can't say I'm enjoying it particularly but hopefully it will become second nature after a while. Lots of weight to lose.

I have been doing it for 4 days so far. It's not been too bad. I have one of the porridge with water for breakfast, a cooked lunch as I prefer main meal at lunchtime. And a shake in the evening. I have also had a piece of fruit as a snack if I am feeling a bit peckish.
I have just stood on the scales and have lost 3Lb so I am happy with that as a start.
I have been trying to make sure I drink enough water but I think I need to drink more.
