I know exactly how you feel.. I also have been trying to lose a large amount of weight.. All you can do is put one foot in front of the other and just "go".. Have rewards for yourself if you make a certain weight goals.. Keep telling yourself you are worth it even if you don't believe it at first. eventually you will start…

You got this.. Don't be intimidated..Go to the gym with the attitude that it's all about me and to hell with everything else..Don't let your fears or worries beat you down..

I agree.. too funny..lol

With side pics it's always hard to tell but from that I would say 130-135lbs..

If you want it bad enough, you can overcome anything.. You just gotta dive right in and go for it. Don't think about it. Just go.

I also disagree with people when they say you have to drink it forever or gain the weight back.. I have gone off it and did fine. People who use it and gain their weight right back, could be because they haven't gotten it through their heads quite yet that weight loss is a lifestyle change. This can happen with ANY weight…

I do Slimfast.. I have had great success with it.. I think any lower calorie plan will work fine though. You just need to do what is right for you. Not everyone loses weight the same. Not every "diet" works the same for everyone. Good luck with you weight loss!

I agree..

Seriously, a person would have to be blind not to see the difference.. You look great! Keep it up..

I don't get it either. This is seriously disturbing and gross..

Just wanted to also say CONGRATS on your weight loss tmauck4472 !! You have done awesome.. Not too many could do what you have done.. WOW.. WTG!!!

Congratulations!! It's so nice to hear about someone maintaining their weight loss after working so hard to get it off. Especially when the odds are stacked against us.. Great job!!

Sure wish I could have a cookie... lol :tongue:

Too bad they aren't real beers..lol I wish they made a low cal, low carb beer that actually tasted good.. Maybe someday..:bigsmile:

Thanks!!:wink:

Thanks for the support!! Btw, don't worry, I am sure your weight loss will pick up soon.. You will find what works right for you. Believe in yourself and make sure you tell yourself everyday that you are worth it!

Come on now.. Experience and age does not always make you an expert at weight loss and healthy lifestyle.. If that were the case, then us "older" folks on here wouldn't have the weight problems we have.. People shouldn't attack someone young for wanting to be healthy.. More young people need to start being more concerned…

I agree.. It's not a "magical elixir" but the plan itself has helped me too..

Thank you and continued good luck in your journey too!

Great job!

I was starting to think starting this forum thread was a bad idea..:ohwell: Now I think it was a damn good one.. I feel more motivated than ever to prove to all the "non believers" I can do this and it is possible to lose weight with Slim Fast and keep it off once you go back to so called normal eating. So thank you for…

No I wasn't looking for any praise at all actually. My family gives me enough and that's good enough for me. I just wanted to share something that has been working for me.. I like varied opinions but "reading between the lines", some in here have struck me as kind of mean spirited. That's ok though. It just makes me even…

I was working with a registered Dietician. I was following a very specific 1500 calorie meal plan. I never cheated. Ever.. No sugar drinks.. I did EVERYTHING the dietician told me to do. I exercise everyday.. It might be hard to believe but that just didn't work for me.. Two pounds a month is not a good weight loss for…

So if my grammar was better, I would get more positives? :drinker:

I never realized talking positive about what Slim Fast has done for me would generate such a firestorm of criticism. Wow.. The whole reason I started Slim Fast was because my weight loss was going nowhere. I was eating very healthy and exercising.. Trying to do things the "right way". I was lucky to lose 2 lbs a month.…

I guess I saw this weight loss as a sort of sucess story and that's why I posted it. I saw other forums talking about this with people being so negative about doing Slim Fast that I thought I would start one where there's a positive.. I am not to my goal weight yet. I have a long way to go but this has been a great start…

What you said was exactly right..Not everyone is the same.. Thank you for your supportive words..

:laugh: That sounds like me..lol

I love it! What a great idea!!

Walking is a great way to start.. I was told by my doctor and dietician to start with walking. I lost my first twenty pounds with just walking.. At about that point, I started biking because I felt like my body was ready for something a little more.. Now I am up to a 37 lb weight loss. Exercise now feels great. I am…
