Hey Everyone ... My name is Tamaira and I am currently 402 pounds. I have decided that it is time to do something about this weight and get it off. I have opted to do the Slim Fast 321 because I live a busy on the go lifestyle and it is very easy for me to grab some snacks my 64 oz bottle of water and go and not have to worry about any meal except cooking dinner when I get home. I honestly have never really given my all to any diet and so I am looking for friends and support to keep me on the right path.

Current Weight - 402- January 16, 2011
1st Goal - 380 - March 16, 2011 my birthday
2nd Goal - 355 - June 16, 2011
3rd Goal - 325 - October 16, 2011
4th Goal - 300 - January 16, 2012

Please add me as a friend if you are looking for support or willing to support ... WE ALL ARE IN THESE JOURNEYS TOGETHER!

    Welcome! Keep an open mind on the slim fast part. Learning healthy eating habits is important so that you can keep the weight off once you lose it. Getting a jumpstart with the slim fast will be good practice, but long term it doesn't let you learn anything.

    Welcome! Give it all you've got. I used Slim Fast after my second child and loved it! This was before they had all the meal bars that are good. I was addicted to the chocolate one. Try lots of chicken and fish at dinner to fill you up for the evening.

    Add me if you like for support. Your are right we are in this together!

    Your absolutely right ... Im hoping that I can get the jump start I need and drop my first 102 pounds over the next year and then really focus my 2nd 100 pound weight loss goal based on my own food/snack choices and maybe change up plans to a weight watchers or dietitian and/or trainer. Based on my current lifestyle of working full time, heading back into school for a Masters, having a 2 year old, being a single mommy and living 4 hours away from family/support really has really given me some challenges but Im definitely working on focusing all of that over 2011.

    Hello Tamaira

    I have 200+ lbs to lose also. I love the support on this site and hope you will too.

    I'd like to add you as a friend but I can't find the place to add you. If anyone can tell me how to add a friend I would appreciate it.

    Best wishes
    Brenda
