Having Immediate Success - Am I Doing Something Wrong?

Mission Country — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 06:08:48 GMT

Hello. I started Slim Fast about three weeks ago and lost 15 pounds. I drink six Slim Fasts a day because I like them. I might have a little bit of food on the side but not much because I am full. I feel good - my face is losing weight - what is that old saying - "When you get to a certain age you have to decide - your face or your body?" Well, my body is improving rapidly but my face is starting to go south. I think they have a lift now where they can lift just the lower part of your face? Ha!

Anyway, here is my question. Someone told me that Slim Fast is full of sugar and that I will get diabetes form drinking it so much. What do you say, Slim Fast? Your product works for me but will I get diabetes? My doctor said my sugar was up a little bit but I don't think it is from the Slim Fast. Before I started Slim Fast, I ate nothing but sugar, it seemed like. Thank you.

I am a very picky eatter with more foods that i dislike instead of liking. I was wondering what were some of the normal foods people can cook and eat while on the slim fast diet. My biggest problem is i hate vegtable with the exception of corn! Help!

CARBS

Shaina — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 04:41:01 GMT

What are some GOOD choices I can make when I'm craving carbs? I don't have myself on any kind of restrictive diet or anything, but I did my work out late tonight (after 8 pm) and I've promised myself no eating after 8 pm, but it's nearly 11 pm now and all I can think about is having a bowl of cereal!! It probably sounds funny, but I literally can't sleep for wanting a dang bowl of Special K!! I think for tonight, I will go ahead and have a Slim Fast shake; hopefully that will do the trick and I'll be able to sleep! :)

Wondering about calorie intake...

eles3d — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 03:35:25 GMT

I have been noticing that people are giving there hight and weight on here and sometimes I see what cal goal they have. My seems to be low? I am 5'2" and 240. I am 28 y/o and have a cal goal of 1500. I plan on doing the eliptical (sp) for an hour or two everyday (which may not work as my work schedule is really messed up; I work in an ER, registering patients...sometimes 3p-11p and other nights weekends maily I noticed 11p-7a...ughhh. This is going to be hard I know). I then decided to do strength on Sundays, Wed, and Saturdays...BUT I do not think that will work out either...

So my question is; what would be the avgerage calories a day I should consume?

Bars and recipes

greentealady — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 14:57:20 GMT

Hi,

Does anyone worry about the ingredients in the meal on the go bars? I love these so much but am a wee concerned about the ingredients.

Also, I am kinda new to slim fast, does it have a site or forum to share recipes?

Thanks

Im really upset with myself

jessica.truitt — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 04:59:39 GMT

Okay, 6 years ago, I did the slimfast diet and lost 25lbs which I then weighed 135lbs, I had my second son, and things have been down hill since.... I now weigh 173 lbs, three years after the birth of my second son. I looked in the mirror and saw lots of well yuck, finally monday, I returned to slimfast. Back in the day, this online support system did not exist, so the menu and caloric planning makes life so much easier..... Anyways, here is the problem, I went to Wendy's tonight, and had my entire meal planned out there... it was a small chili with a baked potato which totaled my calories for today to 1490 calories, so i get to wendy's and no chili, so I ended up eating chicken nuggets and felt hungry 2 hours later... at that point I updated my calorie info and to my own disappointment I brought my caloric intake up to 3,380 calories, and now I am eating doritos (that is also added into the above calories) Now I am really upset with myself because I cheated... I am feeling a lot of guilt... I have worked so hard over the past week and I know this diet works because I did it before. What should I do? and how do I get over cheating??? I just feel yuck now.....

Coffee drinker

kvazquez2006 — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:46:10 GMT

I have a real problem with Coffee drinking. I love to drink coffee with an enormous amount of creamer. I think the creamer I had in my coffee this morning was something like 300 calories. Crazy isn't? I am so addicted. Today I cut back to just the one cup but still, 300 calories.

Yikes................

Does anyone have tips on how to stop drinking coffee?

New to this site...Looking to connect with people

SaraT51405 — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 15:04:34 GMT

Hey everyone. I am new to the site and noticed it on the back of my slim fast can this morning. Since February or 2007 I've lost a total of 21 pounds! I would like to lose about 10 more to be at my goal weight. I am finding that these last 10 pounds are really hard to get rid of......along with this belly fat! I am looking for someone to exchange e-mail addresses with and to myspace with (if you have one). I've signed up for 7 classes at my local Y to help kick myself into losing these last 10 pounds!

Im married and have 2 daughters, 2 and 4. I am going to be going back to school in the winter (hopefully) to pursue a career in Probation/Parole. I already have my Associates in Law Enforcement and completed the poilce academy in 2003 (when i was in shape). I am in Michigan (blah). If anyone is interested, LMK, ill be here waiting!

Uncontrollable OverEATING HELP!

Cstjohn88 — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 10:01:33 GMT

Does anyone have a problem with this??

I don't know whether or not its because I just quit smoking(8 days ago), or my stress level.. or if I really do have a disease... Should I go to OA (overeaters annonymous)?? That is what I ask myself.. or 'Do I or am I developing an eating disorder? Have I been like this my whole life, and just haven't realized it?' I did just start two weeks ago.. Am I going to struggle with myself for the rest of my life like this? AHH I'm driving myself crazy. I try to read self help books, and then tell myself its just a self contol issue.. Then when I am not controlling myself, I'm like read one of those self help books, this is an emotional problem- not a physical one.. Am I just psyching myself out? Or is this for real?

Its like during the day, at work or wherever.. I'm a good girl, I eat my salads with lemon juice and have a grilled chicken ***- whatever. But at night when no one is around.. I just eat eat eat. I eat a quesadilla, I have a burger, a salad, almonds, 3 100-calorie packs, 4 33 oz. bottles of water, more almonds, then im ravaging (feels like it at least) my refrigerator for something to make me feel full. And then I feel like crap. What the hell is this all about.

Am I just weak? Or do I need a 24/7 foodslapper? <--- lol

Does anyone have any tips on how not to do this in a healthy way?

What Do I Do????? HELP!!

What's your favorite snack that helps you thru weak moments?

laurasmom — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 02:36:24 GMT

For some reason, today was a tough day for me, I had the urge to eat all day! I've been doing so well, losing 42 lbs since March. When times get rough, I try to find a low cal snack to ward off the cravings. I used to eat large amounts of food, a binge eater. I'm finally under the 200 mark and don't want to mess up now. What are some snacks you have to get you through the cravings to eat?

Dried Fruit

cmtrahan — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:33:58 GMT

I am new to the site, but I have been drinking Slim Fast Shakes for about 6 months now. Any way I am 51 yrs old and about 40-45 lbs overweight. My problem----Dried Fruit, I crave it almost uncontrobaly. All day long at work I snack on a contrainer of dried fruits containing pineapples, mangos, papyas,and bananas. I don't like raisins,nor any of the other dried fruits. I am not losing any weight at all, does anyone know if these dried fruits are hindering me???? I have asked my doctor and she says it is okay to eat them, but I'm begining to wonder. If anyone has any ideas I'd appericate them. by the way I can not eat any kind of nuts, I am deadthly allergic.

Thanks

Cramps with the shakes??

buggysmom — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 22:39:42 GMT

Anyone else get stomach cramps after drinking the slim-fast shakes? I used slim-fast a couple of years ago and had the same problem. Currently using the Optima, but I noticed they do have a Gluten free Slim fast now could that be the problem??

Looking for Some Working Moms

michelet3 — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:14:17 GMT

I could really use some support from other working moms! I have 3 kids, 9, 6, & 3. I work 40 hours per week and am on the board for my kids PTA. I feel like everyone wants a piece of me and there is never enough time in the day to get it all done! I eat well during the day but after the kids go to bed and I finally stop and sit down, I start snacking! I know this is the worst time to eat, but I could really use some tips or advise. Or just some friends to motivate help motivate each other!

Looking for Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe

ClarinetGal — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:38:07 GMT

Hi all,

Before the site went down, I was able to go to slimfast.com/recipes and get a good recipe for Spaghetti and Meatballs. I only had it once but the meatballs were yummy.

I was wondering if anyone had this saved out on their computer or written somewhere and if so, could you please share? I can't find it on the site now!!

Thanks.

Problem with trying to lose weight, but living at college..

jessrayne07 — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:09:16 GMT

I just started a new diet/workout plan. This is day 4 and I'm already getting frustrated. I've never been one that sticks to diets, I hate feeling hungry or not getting enough to eat. I recently found out, however, that I am going on vacation to see my boyfriend, and I need to lose some weight. (beyond the fact that I think I need to anyways even if I wasnt' going to see Jay)

My major problem is I live in the dorms. I have to have a meal plan and I figured by not eating at the Cafeteria, I'm wasting my money (since at the beginning of the year I had to pay for a meal plan no matter what). I have come to realize, however, that the food at the cafeteria is fattening beyond wonder. I dont have the extra money to buy a ton of healthy food and I just don't know what to do. All I can do right now (and afford) is to buy the slimfast shakes and that's it.

What should I do? How do I lose the weight if I can't make healthy meals and have to eat at a cafeteria? Help!

Jess

Nutrition Facts

hohoho — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 19:53:20 GMT

I always check nutrition facts before buying anything from the store. Believe it or not, it's a real key. It feels good knowing what kind of nutritions are in my food. Many times, it tastes that much more delicious! I think this is a good habit- maybe you should try it.

Vitamins/supplements tip & trick

Schmink45 — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 18:35:27 GMT

I add the vitamin/supplement nutritional information into the "My Foods" area. It not only reminds me to take my vitamins, but adds to my general overall vitamin nutritional count i.e. vitamin C, calcium, etc. I list them as AAAMultiVitamin, AAACalcium/magnesium/zinc, AAAGlucosamine etc. Even if the supplement doesn't have any of the nutritional information on my daily food chart, it still reminds me to take it since it's at the top of "My Foods"! I do the same thing for any medication I'm on that I NEED to remember.

Have diet pills really helped you?

laurasmom — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 16:30:51 GMT

Has anyone used any pills with any success? I have 3 different brands here at home, but found they didn't really help me. I have tried Slimquick, relecor, and cylaris with no benefit. Maybe I didn't use them long enough. Do you know of any brand that helps curb APPETITE? They can put a man on the moon, why can't they make a pill to cure obesity??
