Oh girl, you need some food that sticks to the ribs! Also, have you counted your calories? Unless you're slathering some butter or mayo on things, it doesn't look to me like you're eating much more than 1000 calories. You should up your calories, like in to the 1500 range, and see how that makes you feel, and if you are still losing steadily that way, and adjust from there. You can also calculate how many calories you need a day at Fitday.
For filling foods, try more protein and good carbs. The SlimFast is high in sugar, and it's no wonder you are starving soon after. SlimFast Optima has half the sugar, but it still doesn't last very long. Try a slimfast and an egg white omelet with veggies and a little cheese. One egg and a couple of whites really go a LONG way in the skillet. Or you can try egg beaters. Maybe that for breakfast, with some fruit, and then have your SlimFast for a mid morning snack.
I keep Quaker Weight Control instant oatmeal at work. When I get major munchies, I pour it in a styrofoam coffee cup and use the hot water tap on our coffee maker. It's a little sweet, and it is suprisingly filling. A veggie burger on a whole wheat English Muffin (or a ww pita) with some lettuce, tomatoe and dijon mustard is about 200 calories.
And also studies have shown that people who stretch out calories in 5 meals a day (3 plus 2 snacks) eat less than the ones that eat 3 squares. You'll keep your blood glucose much more steady this way, and this will keep you from getting spikes and crashes which make you hungry. You can also try some brown rice with your veggies. There are some nice red and black rices at specialty, whole food, or natural markets that are really good and that don't need extra high calorie seasoning or sauces.
These are just some suggestions - I hope they help!

away. that is going to be my biggest problem. Any suggestions about helping to control the hunger, especially after my walking work outs. So far my mini goal is to meet 9000-10000 steps a day and to walk at least 3 days a week. I think that is a pretty decent place to start. I look forward to chatting with everyone 
. I could rip the cabinets off the walls and eat them. So I could say with 100% honesty that if my weightloss is sidetracked its going to be because of my horrible hunger.
