Has anyone had success with Slim Fast? I'm always on the go so these seems idea for me. I don't know much about the product though.0

I used it, went through one tin and it is filling for awhile but I didn't see much loss but I think that's because it is high in sugar and I am insulin resistant plus when following the plan I didn't feel I was eating enough and always hungry.Has anyone had success with Slim Fast?

I think you should give it a try as a filler when on the run but also keep to wholesome homemade meals
Good luck!0 -

Thanks! I'm going to try it for about two weeks and see how my body responds to it.0 -
Yesterday, I almost hit a stumbling block. My husband and I were in a store and they had a large bag of chips for $1. All different flavors and I was like a kid in a candy store, because I am a sucker for chips. I stared at all the different flavors and my husband walks over to me and said, "You don't want those chips. You have been doing so well!" and he walked away. I guess he walked away to let me make the decision for myself, but I did not purchase the chips. I was really surprised my husband even made a comment, but it also let me know that those times when I just want to fall back, he is there to give me that little push.
I am not saying I am going to deny myself, because we all deserve a treat every now and again, but I thought about what my husband said and YES, I have been working really hard and I am glad he has noticed it too!
Just wanted to share that with you ladies! I have been sick off and on the past few days and I am trying to get myself back into gear for this week. Hopefully, I can get back to my full workouts on Wednesday, but I am going to give my body a rest for now.

Your husband sounds like a great man and friend. What a way to encourage you to make a better choice.

1. I've decided to move on to Month 2 of Insanity. It's really motivated me to workout in the morning. Waking up and working out with Shaun T. @ 6 in the morning is not a bad way to start your day either!
2. I have been doing pretty well eating "clean" (with a few indulgences occasionally)

Here's the original post - for any and all new ladies just finding this thread. I think that the original thread will soon buried because it was too long, so hopefully this helps. And, new ladies, please take a look back at the old thread, there lots of inspiration in there!Anyone interested in joining a Summer Weight Loss Challenge? It seems like this would be a great time to start a challenge to get our bodies bikini, swim suit, sun dress and shorty-shorts ready by June 21, the first day of summer. A nice challenge will also help us to keep our momentum going as we trudge along in these dark and dreary winter days with the warmth of the sofa and hot chocolate beckoning...okay, maybe I'm reflecting there.
The challenge would be pretty casual, and non-competitive. There won't be any prizes except for the way you will feel once you complete it, which is honestly the best prize anyone could receive. Check-ins should be at least weekly. If you have no weight loss to report, then we'd love to hear about a new workout you've tried, or even if you're having some trouble and you'd just like some support. We (assuming others will join) are all in this together, and ready to help each other.
If you are interested, please post your starting, current, and goal weight by the end of the challenge, along with three non-scale victories you would like to experience before the end of the challenge.
I'll go first:

Hi Everyone,
My name is Cynthia and for the record I know that I am sexy, all women are. The reason I gave myself that username is because being smart about how I treat the one and only body I have would make me even sexier. A co-worker friend and I have become Get Healthy buddies and one of the ways we are keeping each other accountable is through this site/app, so here I am! Its so encouraging to know that there are other women who are focused on making our lives stronger, better, and healthier by making better choices by how we treat our bodies=), so here are my stats
Starting weight:210
Current Weight: 190
Goal Weight: 160
Non-scale victories I would like to experience before June 21, 2013

Umm...so I have been slacking and overeating and so I have been yo-yo-ing. I have not been doing well on the weekends. :sad: I have to do better, I make meal plans, but following through with those plans is a work in progress.

Rochie81, I think we're twins. :laugh:
Kar1959 mentioned that she's going to change her weigh in day to Monday to keep her accountable through the weekend. I think I'm going to adopt that, you may find it helpful. Weekends are terrible for me. During the week I eat all of my meals, but on weekends, I skip meals like crazy, and then over eat later in the day. Not good.
We'll have to be there for one another!0
