Hi Everyone! I just started using Slim Fast today. I want to lose around 20 pounds. I am absolutely starving!!! So far I have had one shake and a fat-free yogurt (70 cal), I will have another shake soon! Can someone explain exactly what I should be doing. How many snacks and snack suggestions? How quickly can I expect to lose weight? I also plan to start using my eliptical (sp) again.

Hi Debbie - you will find more information on our other Slim Fast thread - which you can find in this thread forum as well - in any case, you sound like you would be starving based on how little you are eating....you should really check out the Slim Fast website for recipes and the actual meal plan - which actualy has you eating a minimum of 1200 calories/day - although I suggest eating more like 1400 calories per day - here is my typical day:

8:30am - Slim Fast Shake - 190 calories
11am - Fiber One Granola Bar - 140 calories
1pm - 1/2 - whole turkey & swiss grilled sandwich on high fiber bread, fiber one yogurt, light potato chips - 300-400 calories
3pm - snack - yogurt, popcorn, cheese, laughing cow cheese wedge on melba toast, etc...about 100 calories
5pm - Spaghetti (with high fiber pasta - check out www.fibergourmet.com), grilled chicken, baked chicken, steak on the grill, a lean burger or veggie burger, some veggies, a starch - about 400 calories
9:30pm - about 100-150 calorie snack - see any of the above - or even a dessert like a 100 calorie ice cream bar....

I started losing weight immediately on s/f - i have one every morning for breakfast and just love them - i actually freeze them for about an hour before i drink them - i don't like them if they aren't really cold.....

get on the elliptical - it will help you tons - i workout 5 nights/week and do between 45-60 minutes of cardio - either running on the treadmill or elliptical...good luck and check back often!
