Hey welcome to all the newbies! This thread sure is growing. Just wanted to report in I am soooo happy. Frogger hang in there. I was in the same fix for the last month. Well I am happy to report I lost 4# this week!:dizzy: I could not believe my eyes this morning. I actually had to look three times! 55 down- 80 to go to my goal weight. I have been working on this now for just over a year. I am actuall only 15 pounds from what I weighed in 1993 when I got married! Seven years to put it on and only a year and a half or so to get rid of it. Hope you gals have success too:)

hi all,

if you are stuck hng in! if you are losing, keep going! im down 6.4 since thursday.

HI everyone!
 

I've been a lurker but I just wanted to sat that it is so wonderful to see you all having success with Slim Fast. I have to admit, I have been toying around with different plans for months (and gained a total of 5 lbs. trying them then deciding I didn't like them LOL!). I swear, everywhere I look, people are saying sugar is soooooo bad for you and so I try to make myself stick to one of these low-carb, high-protein plans and I JUST CAN'T STICK TO THEM! I am just not that much of a meat eater.

I've wanted so badly to start Slim Fast but I think I've been brainwashed that somehow sugar turns straight to fat on me and as long as I'm eating anything starchy or sugary (like the SF shakes), I'm just wasting my time and helping to put more fat on myself. I've wanted to start Slim Fast but it's as if this "sugar is evil" mindset makes me give up on the SF plan before I've even begun.

Your positive weight loss experiences with Slim Fast have really inspired me and helped me to believe again that sugar isn't the horrible demon many make it out to be.

Thank you all for your wonderful updates on yourselves here. I am going to give this a try. I am FED UP with feeling horrible about myself. It doesn't have to be this way.

225/ 160 eventually!!! :)

just wanna say i think sugar does go to to fat. thats why i use twinfast instead of slimfast. its lots less in sugar&really fills you.

Guess what you guys! Down 1 lb today! The plateau is OVER! (I hope!) After 4 weeks of stalling!!! Thanks for all of your support. Let's keep losing everyone! Think thin. Think thin!
How is everyone else today? Hope you all have a great day!

Hey Ladies,

Well I am on my 11th day of Slimfast and feeling great. I have a total loss so far of 6 pounds and it is great. I am really liking the Slimfast alot. I wasn't sure I could stick with it, but I am. I can't wait to see how much weight will come off in the weeks ahead. I am so happy that I have finally found something that will work for me.

Frogger - That is so great that your plateau is broken. Way to go! It is so great that you stuck with it and didn't let it stop you from working on this journey.

Jenny - Welcome, I was like you in that I wasn't sure about the Slimfast, but now that I am on it I really like it alot. I do wish that is didn't have as much sugar, but it is doing great things for me so I am not going to complain to much. Hope it goes well for you!!

KD580 - Congrats on your loss. I am curious what Twinfast is and where do you find it. I haven't heard of it before. But I like the idea of not as much sugar.

I hope that you are all having an awesome Slimfast day. :)

tundragirl- glad you like it. twinfast is the same as slimfast, but its manufactured by twinlab& is a powder. it comes in chocolate, vanilla&strawberry& is only 5g sugar. im not sure what state you are in, but in ny, i havent found it anywhere except online at www.vitaminshoppe.com. its catalog number TL1465&i think the vanila is TL1466. the vitaminshoppe offers a free program where you earn points for buying stuff&then 1x year you get $for free stuff.

KD- Thank you! I will check into it. I am in Oregon and probably won't find it here either. 5 grams of sugar is quite a difference. I wonder why Slimfast hasn't started to make theirs with less sugar. Maybe they will get the hint sometime soon and do the same thing.

im not sure why either. also look at carbolite egg white powder. its great&carb, fat&sugar free. www.netrition.com. i mix half scoop of carboliy=te wh 1/2 scoop twinfast.

hi guys,

well today is day 10, and im down 6.6.

165.2/158.6/150/-6.6/+8.6/

Hi- Can I join you guys?
 

I don't use slimfast, I use another drink called Complete but there is no support group for it. I love my drink, I didn't like the taste of Slimfast- no offense. I have it everyday for breakfast and it keeps me full.

welcome! i dont see the harm. i dont use it either. i use a creation i made myself. its qa combo of twinlab twinfast& morico carbolite. today is day 11 for me&im down 7 1/4.

165.2/158/150/-7.2/+8/

kd580 thanks
 

It feels good to be welcomed in. I am bummed because I am out of my Complete and won't have it till the end of the week. I miss it! I got used to haveing it for breakfast- it keeps me full!

Have a great day! It is rainy here!
