Lockdown weight - slim fast

[AsLongAsIHaveMyTea]

I know there’s already a slim fast thread but I was wondering if anyone would like to join me in a new one starting this weekend? I am rapidly putting on weight this lockdown and I want to shift it quickly so I’m starting slimfast on Saturday. Would anyone like to join me? I’m thinking for 2 or 3 weeks

yep count me in

Oh brill, so pleased to have a companion! What day are you thinking if starting?

Count me in too! I started my slim dad diet yday. I’m starving!!
Aiming to loose 3 stones tho so in it for the long haul :(

Slim fast lol not slim dad

Brilliant!! How have you found it so far?

Started this morning! Fingers crossed the hunger doesn’t get to me!!
Is anyone having their main meal in the evening? What are you thinking of having?

Hello all, just popping in from the other thread to say good luck!

I'm nearly 4 weeks in and have lost 12 lbs. It's been very much worth it. Wishing you all success!

@AsLongAsIHaveMyTea

Brilliant!! How have you found it so far?

I'm day 3 now and probably taking it a bit extreme as I'm not doing the 3x 100 cal snacks allowed so I'm just doing two shakes and then the 600 cal dinner. Perhaps I'm being a bit silly hitting it so hard as I'm hungry and find the shakes rather underwhelming (although I've only tried the chocolate). When are you starting x

@YourWurstNightmare

Thank you!! And a huge well done that's really made me determined today
Did you do the snack allowance out of interest ?

@AsLongAsIHaveMyTea

Sorry didn't see your last message! We are only a couple of days apart then. How much did you want to loose if you don't mind me asking ?
For dinner I had a roast chicken breast half a mash and a load of veg (was under 500 cal) not sure what to have tonight 🤔

Oh thank you that’s really kind! 12 pounds is absolutely amazing and shows that it can be done!
I started this morning! I’m also not going to do the snacks but I will have fruit or veg sticks as a snack if I’m hungry.
I feel determined!

Oh no worries! I want to lose 9 pounds. It’s the weight I’ve put on since Christmas- which is really bad isn’t it?! So I want to shift it. My clothes are really tight and I just feel a bit rubbish because of it!
Yes I’m thinking lots of chicken breast meals and jacket potatoes!
Tonight I have a jacket sweet potato with cottage cheese and salad

Did you do the snack allowance out of interest ?

I used it the first week, but only for fruit. I can't have tiny bits of treats. It makes me want more!! After the first week, I sort of naturally dropped it. I only use it for fruit when I really need it now.

How’s everyone been this weekend?

Hi can I join please? Just noticed this hasn’t been posted on for a couple of weeks (might be wrong as only had a quick read). Is anyone still on this thread?
