  • I'll be 51 in 4 weeks. I'm 190 lbs. Last month I scheduled myself a physical exam because it's been 4 years since I been to my pcp so I thought it's time to get back on schedule. We'll I'm glad I did because just last week my labs come back saying I'm prediabetic and my cholesterol is high. **until I get in to the…
  • I'm 49 years old, been on slimfast years back, always had good results but then went back to my old ways and also I have a job where I sit at least 6 hours a day. Since 2017, when my job role changed and required more desk work, this didn't help in regards to weight. It made it worse. So, at my highest weight 3 weeks ago,…
  • SlimFast has been my go-to for years, but, since January, I've been using Giant brand Satisfy shake mix. They're 50% cheaper than Slimfast powder and tastes superb. The best out there (chocolate and vanilla). Sadly, as of Memorial Day, they stopped making it entirely. So, I've gone back to trusty Slim Fast. The Smoothie…
  • Since September, I've been on a strict diet consisting of 2 shakes per day then a real supper. im currently using Giant brand Satisfy meal replacement shakes; theyre better tasting than ANY other brands ive tried (beats slimfast and all carnation varieties) Comes in Vanilla and Chocolate flavors; Also the price is…
  • Wow you're like me, I like to do just dance Xbox, Jenny Ford marching on YouTube and will be starting Wii fit again; when I did the aerobics segment it was alot of fun and really didn't feel like exercise. Don't give up
  • Yes I'm going through it right now and it's so tough! Tougher than when I wasn't watching calories but that's why I'm like I am now (heavy and clothes don't fit) so yes this will be hell for awhile. What I notice as long as I don't buy or make cakes, cookies and the "bad" stuff I will be ok and get through it but this pms…
  • Cottage cheese and Dole tropical fruit, just drain before putting it with CC. Also, plain whole milk yogurt (Stonyfield is a good one), honey and Kretchmer toasted wheat germ. Use these as desserts, too, very filling and satisfying.
  • Slimfast (Advanced Nutrition Smoothie powder) has real low sugar content (13 gm). It is sweetened w/ Sucralose. Way better, too, at curbing hunger, as claimed on package, as long as you prepare in a blender. Currently, on Carnation Breakfast Essentials powder, prepared same manner,even blended with banana and peanut…
  • When i began exercising, and seeing results on my weightgurus app, not just relying on my weightloss shakes. My Weight Gurus digital app sync scale is syncing daily weight to its app, and so far, it's saying I've lost 5 lbs. That's when I knew weight is starting to come off. I really like technology in terms of weightloss…
  • I make a Slimfast Advanced Nutrition Vanilla shake for breakfast, breakfast Essentials or Nutrisystem Chocolate powder shake at lunch, then a sensible dinner. Water, fruit or yogurt, and unlimited veggies in between. only 1 dinner roll w/supper, if that's part of the menu. Too much bread tends to blow me up in the belly.…
  • Sorry there weren't more people on here that had better experiences with Weightloss shakes. To alot of people that are trying to lose weight, it sounds like a food =mouth connection. They're just not into the shake/drink thing. Which is perfectly fine!!!! My obstacle is if my diet shake isn't a huge one, like 12 or more…
  • Just wondering how your diet is going? I started mine 4/9/16, similar to what you're doing, feel like I've lost only a few lbs, it's going slow though. Just started walking for my exercise. Also have added to Walkmeter app to my iPhone. Love it. It syncs progress to MFP!! I think the exercise will indeed start to help drop…
  • So glad someone began a post for protein shakes. Glad I came across Slimfast Advanced Nutrition Smoothie shakes in Vanilla Creme. I also have recently begun to add jif pb powder and a banana while blending. This vanilla tastes the best! Very comparable to White cake mix!! Smells sooooo good, even my 9 yr old agreed!!…
  • That's great that you're cycling 20 mi/day!!! How many minutes is that? Right now, it takes me 30 minutes to walk a mile. Just wondering. Was going to go to park to walk dog, but, i decided to stay home, and do it here in the yard! I just recently figured how to sync my iPhone with Walkmeter app, so happy it "tracks" the…
  • This post doesn't have anything to do with MFP! This isn't Match.com, or Farmersonly.com, ya know. If you need to" kiss the person above you", then go to those dating websites. Good luck, and may love find you, but not on a site like this. Calorie counting, etc is hard enough! Thank you!!!
  • What's this post have to do with MFP? this isnt Farmersonly.com, ya know.
  • Glad the Slenderblend is working!!!sorry you're experiencing constipation. Maybe add some fruit, like banana, to Slenderblend. I think it helps with const. But, did you know, Slimfast Advanced Nutrition powder is filling, especially if you add more ice than what's recommended, compared to shaking milk and powder in a…
  • SLLeask: What's your comment in reference to? INeedIron is asking a good question. They're dealing with some real, medical issues here, and simply asking advice from others who maybe dealing with the same prob!! If you are trying to harass OP, then INeedIron and Blondiegirl needs to report you for harassment. Your comment…
  • Yeah, PMS is starting, diet shakes ive been on since 4/8/16, just aren't hitting the spot today, even with mix-ins, like pb powder and banana. TOM is 10 days away. Thinking about a snack thats low carb, but filling. Hmmmm, thinking about cheese cubes. I had some sharp cheddar (7 1x1 cubes), cucumber slices, and baby…
  • Had the BEST shake for lunch... Carnation Breakfast Essentials powder , dark chocolate flavor, with a small amount(2tbsp, because running out!) of Slimfast Advanced Nutrition powder in creamy chocolate, combined with 8oz. milk, banana, 2tbsp. Jif peanut powder, and 8-10 ice cubes. Awesome! Like your sipping on a banana…
  • Just bought the WeightGurus app sync body scale yesterday. So far, liking it! Measure and tracks weight, BF, muscle mass, body water, bone mass. Coolest thing around!!! Like how it syncs to myfitnesspal pal app!!! Paid $29.99 at Bed, Bath Beyond (on sale).
  • Slimfast Advanced Nutrition powder, creamy chocolate or Vanilla Creme, since 4/8/16, plus 1 cup of my keurig Weis Kona Afternoon blend kcup.
  • Kazminchu: lemme clarify something: "than rather chew some fake gum"=the first part of that sentence was brush, floss,etc =good oral hygiene. Translated to I'll keep doing was I've been doing, which is, brush, floss,etc, you know the drill. Please stop the bitchin and nit picking already. Thanks!
