hello every one,
I started Optifast 800 shakes 4 weeks ago. Today is my engagement anniversary, my birthday is also few days away. I want to take my husband on a date but I don't want to just set doing nothing. What ideas do you have to work this out? Ps I also have a 5 yr old child.
Thanks in advance

What, specifically, is your question? If you want to take your husband on a date, you should do that! It's good to celebrate anniversaries.0

My question is that I think it wont be an exciting date in a fancy restaurant without sharing the meal with him. I should have my shake or 4 oz of lean protein and a cup of veggies. It would be odd. Any opinion?0

Go have a nice meal with your husband. Try to pick something healthy from the menu, and fit it into your calorie goals if you can. If you can't, just enjoy your special night and don't worry about it too much. You can go back to counting calories tomorrow.
You won't get a lot of enthusiasm for Optifast here, I'm afraid. You really don't need to drink special shakes to lose weight, you just need to stay under your calorie goals and you can eat regular food. That being said, if you do prefer the shakes make sure you're logging them here so you know you're getting enough calories to feed your body properly.
Happy Anniversary, and I hope you have a wonderful night with your hubby!0 -
One day is less than 1% of the year. You should enjoy special occasions with family, not drink a shake and have vegetables.0

How bout you bag the shake for the night and eat real food with your man?0
-
The world won't end if you skip the shakes for one day. Go enjoy a meal with your husband.0

Give your man some tail. Best present ever.0

Seriously?
Your relationship with your husband and having a wonderful night out is a whole lot more important.
The world will not end if you replace your shake with real food. Nor is one meal going to undo all of your past work....0 -

What? How is that a "gift"? Does it happen so infrequently that you consider it a "gift"? If so, I feel sad for you.0 -

For me it happens every time I am willing to fork over 200 bucks.

I reckon men see it as a "gift" every time they get some :laugh: Be it once a week or 10 times!!

Ten times in one week? Who has two grand to spend on the sexytime?0 -

So we have found the one person in the world that doesn't buy sex!!! What are the chances? I bow down before you.0 -
Don't sweat it, it's one night.
I eat cake for my anniversary. I draw the line at eating cake for everyone else's party. I choose small portions but eat the food at the celebrations of family members. I skip the cake at work.
Here's the deal, weight loss and maintaining are a lifetime thing. If at the end of the day you're on the verge of tears because you can't live your life and lose weight, well, then you're doing it wrong. Not celebrating major milestones because your trying to lose weight just doesn't work. Celebrate the big stuff, reel it in elsewhere.0 -

I'm not going to lie. This makes sense.0 -
You celebrate you engagement anniversary?
I digress.
Why do a program that means you can't go to dinner to celebrate a milestone?0 -

Yeah, I found odd as well. Then again I know someone who celebrates monthly anniversaries and posts lots of annoying lovey dovey crap about it on her facebook page (for the entire week) that I had to unfriend them.0 -

Now THIS is a woman who understands men!

A date doesn't have to be at a restaurant you know. Go to a museum, the zoo, on a hike, see a movie, paint pottery, go to a concert, go dancing, go roller skating, stay at home and play games, volunteer somewhere together... Whatever would be nice and special.
How long do you plan to do shakes? Do you have a plan for when you stop them?0 -
Thank you everybody.. Well, it is the first day we start dating so it is so special to me. Even though he doesn't usually remember it but I do. In my culture we get marry by arrangement so we don't start talking on the phone and meet each other until we are officially engaged (applying for marriage certificate) then we have the engagement period to know each other better and then the wedding..
I will see what I will do. I agree that it is a life time maintaing weight but in my case I want to loose weight ASAP before I conceive since I have been trying to conceive for baby #2 and I don't want to put on extra weight on my old baby weight.. Just my opinion. @Lounmoun I plan to stay on shakes until I loose 35 pounds or get pregnant. I have 25 pounds to go (or at least a month)0 -
If you are trying for a baby... You shouldn't be doing a VLCD!!!!0
-
And neither of them have an issue with a woman trying to conceive being on a liquid low calorie diet? Wowzers. No way my GP would advocate something like that. Good luck.0 -

They just told me to be on prenatal and test and stop it once I get it0
