Hi there, Wendie. I'm happy to be your first buddy. This site has been extremely helpful to me since starting the SF program. The people here are so friendly and always happy to give you a pep talk, words of wisdom, or a nice kick in the pants when you need it. I have lost 29 pounds since Sept. 1, and I could not have done it without the support of my SF buddies. This is the FIRST eating plan that I have ever had this kind of success with. I have been overweight for more than half of my life, and had almost given up hope that I could ever shed these pounds and get healthy. I NEVER in a million years thought that SlimFast would work for me, but it really and truly has. SF works for me b/c I need structure. I need someone to tell me what to eat and how much. I was doing a terrible job of feeding myself properly. SF has helped me to develop self control. Before, I was so afraid to go on a diet b/c I just KNEW I couldn't stick with it...that I would feel deprived and binge. But, the SlimFast shakes really keep me feeling satisfied and the yummy chocolate flavor takes care of my sweet tooth. I prefer the canisters of powder to the canned shakes. The Chocolate Royale is tasty. But, I do keep some of the cans of cappuccino on hand in case I'm in a hurry and need to grab one on my way out the door. The first 3 or 4 days are the hardest. If you can make it through them, you will probably find your cravings going down and your energy shooting up. My biggest advice is to DRINK your WATER. Getting hydrated has helped my hunger and weightloss so much. And check in on the site as often as you can. I try to check in everyday...it keeps my goals fresh in my mind. I also try to post a journal (I call it "Fatbook") nearly everyday to help me stay accountable to myself and my SF buddies. It's a great place to keep track of my wandering thoughts and see where I'm having success and where I can improve. Like I said. I honestly never thought SF would work for me. But, if YOU work...SlimFast works! Hope you decide to join us! God Bless -- Hilary
