I think it depends on your currenty weight and how over weight you are. The more over weight you are I think its easier to lose alot in the begining, however if you only need to lose 10 pounds it might be a little harder. Just stick to 1200 calories a day with some excersise and you should see results. So far I have lost 3lbs with on the slimfast plan and its been a week! But I have a long way to go. Good luck.

As of today I have lost 13 pounds!

Good luck to all of you!

That is awesome for you. My weight loss is the average 1 lb loss, but my exercise hasn't been nearly as consistent. I do think that is really key.  I am trying to lose 25-30 lbs. and have thus far lost 3.5 and tomorrow will be three weeks, but I have not been completely faithful the whole time so I am happy. We are going on a cruise next March and I want to be at my goal by then for sure and hopefully by Christmas. I love reading what is working for everyone.

GOOD NEWS FOR YOU THE FIRST TEN POUNDS IS EASY AND CAN BE SAFELY BE DONE IN AS LITTLE AS THREE TO FOUR WEEKS . THATS 21 TO 28 DAYS.WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THE FIRST TEN POUNDS IS JUST EXCESSIVE WATER RETENTION IN FATTY TISSUE THAT IS EXPELLED BY SLIMFAST EASILY  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

Actually as of this morning, I have now lost 11 pounds! woohoo! Thanks so much for the congrats! I hope you will be successful too! I am eating 3 meals a day, 1200 total calories per day and I walk at work 3 -4 or more miles each shift. (5 days a week)

Congratulations!  9 lbs.  Wow!  I am hopeful that I am as successful as you are.    Have you added in any exercise?   I'm just trying to figure out what is working for everyone else.  Thanks for your reply.

Everything I hear says that 1-2 pounds per week is a safe loss, so you have 61/2 weeks, so that would translate to around 13 pounds, so I would have to say yes.

I have been on my diet for three weeks (last sunday ended my third week) and I have lost 9 pounds (one week of it was on slim fast)

Hi,  I started my program today and my theory is to take baby steps.   I want to try to lose 10 pounds in 45 days and am hoping this is a reasonable expectation.  We're looking at a month and a half.   

In an effort to reach this goal I think that I will need extreme support from my fellow Slim Fast friends.  If anyone have reached this goal on this program, I would like to hear from you and learn how you did it, what were the challenges and how you got past them.
