Melody, your story sounds a lot like mine!  My "baby" is almost 21 y/o, so I can hardly blame her for the excess weight any longer.  I am now 48 with some real health issues and being overweight doesn't help.  I am afraid that as time goes by, if I remain overweight, more health issues will develop.  I don't want that!  So I am here at Slimfast.com once again to try.  I saw the new packaging with the 3 2 1 thing at the store and thought I would check it out.  My biggest bad these days is actually NOT EATING.  Typically, I have coffee and water at work all day and sometimes a vending machine snack in the afternoon.  Then when I get home, I am so tired that I don't want to cook, so I grap something fast and easy... like a bowl of cereal or a PB & J.  Sure, I'm losing a little bit of weight, but not much.  And I feel AWFUL!!!  Maybe this plan will help me get back on track.

hi Im at a weight that I have never been before 194 so I understand how it is to lose the weight,I have trouble at night it is when I eat the most and go off the diet I am always hungary and I know you pobably are having a problem sticking to a diet like me maybe we can help each other

Hello Melody my name is Tara.  I to have done the slimfast before.  In 2002 I weighed 230 pounds, On January 17 that year I decided (after watching a home video from Christmas morning) I was going to change my life, I started on the slimfast program that day.  The next January I was down to 154.  I was extatic (sp) I had lost 74 pounds. 

Well since then I have unfortunatly gained back 40 pounds.  I know it can be done because I have done it before, I just have to do it again.  I just have to stay focused, motivated, get EXERCISE, and drink my water.  Right now I am sitting at about 194, I am also not looking to be a super model,  I just want to be comfortable in my clothes and stop having all this extra hanging over my pants. 

Hoping we can help each other,

Tara

Hello. Im new to this program. but not too slim fast.  I am hoping to change my lifestyle for a healthier more active me. I love the outdoors, i have a bicycle that collects dust and is a great hoem to spiders. :~) I have a tread mill that is used for hangin clothes, towels, etc.

I have felt the motivation in the past and i did start a excersise regimen.. it didnt last long.. So here i am once again.

I had my 1st baby 14 years ago (long time i know). I started the slim fast program about 5 months after delivery. I was 150lbs. before pregnancy 105. I was determined to loose weight, i was loyal to my slim fast shakes, fruit snacks, water, etc. I dropped to 115 within a few months. I was a happy camper back then :~)

Now i am facin a heavier battle. 2 more children and I gained absolutely every pound plus more i am 195 now. I am saddened by the fact i have allowed myslef to get so heavy. Stress, a divorce, comfort food, post-p depresion, pregnancies, hypo thyroid and now diabetes have absolutely contributed to my weight.

I am ready to stop the excuses and start eating right, i am nt after a model body just one that can make me feel good about myself again. I am willing to be loyal to the slim fast shakes again.. especially with the technology we have now, support groups, slim fast snacks, tips ets.. i know i can make a change in my life.. one day at a time..

I would like to make  a few support pals and even friends..

My name is Melody and i look forward to hearing from you..
