Happy Friday!!
I'm off and running today, may not be able to check in later.
Yesterday was good for me up until dinner time, did a little snacking. PMS monster!
SLMFT for me.
Today I plan to do much better

Melissa- 2 more days of classes until graduation or until summer break?? My hat is off to you!!

Crazed- your plan looks pretty good.
Maybe try to have a small salad (or some kind of veggie) and a little protein (cheese stick, etc.) at lunch.
Try to drink water as is always suggested (I struggle getting 64 ounces in), the water does work.

All the best to everyone today. Deb

Good Morning all!!

Deb - you did GREAT yesterday!! Way to go! That darn munchie monster, we should all gain up on him! LOL! AF is such a witch! I hope she's nice to you today and you have a fantastic day!! Keep up the good work! Its the last day before summer break for me, I've got 3 more semesters till I graduate and have to grow up! LOL!

I had a fabulous day yesterday, did my elliptical for 30 minutes, that makes 4 days in a row!!! Drank tons of water I think I got about 120 oz yesterday. I just might make it to onederland before Disneyworld yet!!

Have a wonderful day today! Be good everyone!

Got myself a Weight Watchers digital scale yesterday, so now I can track my progression more accurately. I weighed myself today, and will continue to weigh in every Friday now. So hopefully this time it moves a little! I got in more fluids, but I don't think I'll ever get in those 8 glasses of water (do diet drinks count as well?). I've also only missed 2 days of working out, so as long as I work out both today and tomorrow, I've achieved my goal!

Way to go with the workout Hun e.B., it sounds like you're doing killer!

On a little side note, did you guys know if you e-mailed Slim-Fast about coupons they will send them to you every month if you request them?

Good luck with the plan everyone, and have a great day!!

Good morning everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted. It's been kinda of a nutty week. My grandpa has been sick so I've been helping out with family stuff. I lost 4 pounds this week, but I am going to a Cinco de Mayo party tomorrow night with beer and food. I have to behave!

So, Tue I got LIMFAS
Wed was LIMAS
and Thurs was LFAST

You all are doing great!

Crazed- Thats a great suggestion about the coupons! I also saw somewhere that there will be coupons in the May 7th Sunday paper. I also weigh in on Fridays now, too.

Melissa- When is your DisneyWorld trip?

Deb- Hi and I hope the snack monster is being kind today!

Have a great day!

Hi ladies! I hope you don't mind me sneaking in here to ask an incredibly embarassing question.
Do slimfast shakes give you gas??
I finally figured out that they are the culprit behind my stinky farty gas! I'm so mad, what am I supposed to do now?
I use the powder to mix my own shakes.
Is it just me? Has anyone figured out something to counteract it?
Any ideas?
Or should I just shut up and leave you poor ladies alone?

Christine

Hi Christine!

For me, I noticed that the powdered Ultra used to make me gassy and my stomach acted funny. I tend to be lactose intolerant anyhow. Now, I use the ready to drink Optima and I don't notice a problem, but I do also take a Lactaid -type pill before drinking the shakes.

Good luck!

Good Afternoon all!

Rebel....WAY TO GO!!!!! WOOHOO!! Congrats on an excellent loss!! Great job this week!! You are doing so fantastic!! Keep it up!! enjoy your party tonight...just dont overenjoy! LOL!! We are going to Florida in July...yes when its good and hot!

Christine...Hello and welcome! for me the slimfast doesnt make me gassy its eating higher fiber which you are generally doing on a lowfat/lowcalorie plan like Slimfast. If I have alot of veggies in a day my tummy gets very gassy. You could maybe try beano, I've used it before having stirfry and it works like a charm. I hope you get some relief from it soon! And please dont shut up...we love'd love for you to join us! Good luck!

Crazed...I'm so glad you got a better scale, does the one you got do tenths of a pound..I want one like that. Diet drinks do count as water, but its my understanding that you only want those to be less than half of your water intake. and if you can do them non carbonated even better. And yes, Slimfast will send you coupons everytime you email and ask them to.

Well I am officially done with classes, just have one final next week, should pull out straight A's again this semester! I noticed we've got alot of friday weighers...should we all do it friday? I normally do tuesday but I dont mind switching. I sold back my books and have an extra $160, now I'm trying to decide if I should put it all into our Disney fund or if I should take $60 and go buy a bike so I can go on rides with my girls.

Okay I'm off to enjoy the sunshine!! have a wonderful weekend everyone!

~melissa

All I have to say is that I messed up on the diet the past two days. I'm back on track today, but I feel like crap about myself. Like all the hard work I've put into it has been ruined.

me too! Its been a very off weekend! I've got noone to blame but myself but I'm ready to get back on plan tomorrow and knock this weight off! I'm getting closer to my goal and weekends like this dont help! Tomorrow is a new day and I'm ready!

~melissa

Me too! Just hang in there, we can do it! Just think: nothing you eat will be as satisfying as the way you feel when you stay on track!! Good luck.


*sigh* (Damn peanut butter, why must you be so creamy and delicious??)

Happy Monday All,
Crazed and Melissa I need to join the "Off Weekend" club. I wasn't too bad, but not great either!!! I don't think I drank any water yesterday!!

It's a new week and we can begin again!!

I have stayed the same since my original loss which is frustrating, I have no one to blame but myself!!

Best of luck to us all for today!! We can do it today!!
Deb

Good Monday Morning all!! well today is the new day I need. Peeked at the scale this morning and it said I was up 6 lbs. Now we all know its not physically possible to gain 6 lbs in 3 days so I'm not stressed out about it because I know all I gotta do is get that water going again and cut out the salt and poof, back to normal. Today is the day for that.

I went ahead and got that bike, took the girls for a bike ride on Friday night and again on Sunday for a short one. My legs were screaming!

Well gotta get the kiddies to school so I can get to studying. Last exam is in the morning! Have a wonderful day everyone! Put the weekend behind you and lets move on!! We can do it!

~melissa

Okay Ladies I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCKKK!
Well, I graduated last Saturday on April 29th! It was so hectic with family coming in town and I had one final the day before graduation, aaaggh. But, I'm happy to say I received a bachelors in Exercise Science. My grades were two 'A's, one B+, and two 'B's....I'm happy. No more exams to study for...until September!lol! I'll be starting a 11 month acclerated nursing program in Philly can't wait!

Melissa-How's your finals going?

Ladies I'll be posting more frequently. My Aunt flo just left and I'm weighing at 168.8lb. So I'm happy I havent gained remaining the same. Now I came back home to South Florida to cover for my sister while she's on maternity leave.

I just bought some 15lb dumbell to start working out. I went to LA fitness across the street to see how much it would be for a month membership since that's only how long I will be here. But when they told me $80..I was so straight I turned and walked right out. Looked up a high school near by with a track and went to sports authority and purchased some weights.

Got my slim fast for my snacks and I'm ready to build some muscle and burn fat.

Keep it up ladies I see you've been doing great in my absence.
Until tommorrow good night. I'm off to the track with my weights in tow.

I just noticed I'm actully one pound down heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyy....party time. Okay off to the track after. Tommorrow I'll change the ticker.

Well, I ate okay today, but didn't excercise. Wayyy to tired! But it's a start, I guess.
