I am new as well. I am a 27 year old mom, (like to blame my weight gain on having a child) who needs to lose about 50 lbs. This is the largest I have been & I feel absolutely miserable, I am tired ALL the time, have zero motivation. so if anyone out there wants to help me out---feel free!! I am open for any suggestions/advice!

Thanks

Renee

Danielle,

How is it going?  I have had 2 good days but dread the weekend.  I need to write down everything I eat or else I put more in my mouth than I realize.

Good Luck and keep in touch.

How is it going?  I have had 2 good days but I'm about ready to go out to dinner YIKES!!!  Challenges.  Plus the weekend is upon us which is always more difficult.  Good luck to you and anyone else who reads this. 

Like always I find it very useful to  write down what I eat.  It's so easy to nibble otherwise.

I'm just starting, too! I've been yo-yo dieting for years but I always gain back the weight plus some. I'm almost 23 and the am the heaviest I have ever been. I completely understand hearing others say you are beautiful but feeling fat and ugly just the same!!!! I'm also looking for some support to help me shed the lbs and gain some self-confidence. Best of luck to you all - let's do this!

Danielle,

I am just starting slim fast also.  Any "fisherwoman" is beautiful  :-)  I need some motivation!  I have gone down this path many times.  I need to get 20 pounds off.  My problem, portion control!  I can manage to stay active but I need to drink my water and watch my portions.....

Those feelings of "fat and ugly" I can relate to but I think we need to feel positive and get rid of those negative body images in order to move forward.

Have a great slim fast day.

Lori

I just started today and I have been feeling similar lately. My boyfriend also tells me that I am beautiful. I on the other hand at times feel awful about my self image. I hope that both of us can see ourselves as our significant others see us one day.

a word of wisdom........your weight does not determine your beauty.......your heart does

Good luck I am just starting this too. I want to loose around 50 pounds, more if possible.  I really like what I see of the meal plan.  I am not a fan of the shakes but the bars are ok .  I like how you can put your own foods in the menu, it also gives you idea.  I am lazy and I like how they let me change things up and they still keep track.

I am just starting the slim fast program and hoping to loose 30 - 40 pounds! I have had a real tough time since my hysterectomy 2 and a half years ago, and its so hard being 21 and wishing you could eat like everyone else. My husband tells me I am beautiful, but I know I am just fat and ugly. I am looking for some buddies to help me get rid of this weight and feel good about myself. Thanks for listening and good luck to all - you are heroes!
