Slim Fast Anyone?

[millie]

Well I was shopping and i saw all these new products that slimfast has on the market now, Some look pretty tastey so I Purchased a starter pack drinks, bars And snack Bars also, some new noodle dishes that came out. I havent tried it but im am having a problem eating way to many calories and my portions and i hope this helps.
I was wondering if this helps and if any one has ever tried this.Just wondering?

I never tried this, but if u were having a problem with cutting cals and portions this will DEFINATELY help u. If they are all pre-sized amounts and stuff u are already starting off good.

Good luck!

OH I HEAR THAT!

Only problem hear is that if I bought them shakes I'd be usin them to wash something down, or I'd be eatin them bars by the CASE!!!

Good luck again!!!

Ha! Been there...done that STAR! Good luck Millie....how expensive were they compared to what you had been spending? I already am finding out it's more expensive to eat healthy, but is the prepackaged any worse? Just curious.

I do the slim fast shakes for breakfast and lunch. I have had great success with that. As for the cost, I usually spend about 10.00 for 2 cases of shakes, about what it would cost to eat out 1 meal for 2 people.

YEAH IT IS MORE EXPENSIVE TO EAT HEALTHY THAN TO EAT UNHEALTHY I NOTICED WHEN I GO SHOPPING I SPEND MUCH MORE BUT IT IS ABOUT LIFETIME ACHEIVEMENTS SO I HAVE TO REALIZE THAT
T TASTED A SLIM FAST BAR I DID NOT LIKE THEM TOO MUCH BUT THE SHAKES ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Hey Fit..that's the attitude I'm taking about the cost too...and my Fiance' reminds me that I'm eating less so it all equals out in the long run too...I'm glad he offers that support instead of giving me a hard time about the more expensive grocery bill!

I like slimfast just for breakfast because it is so easy. One warning - the coffee flavored ones will make your urine smell funny for a couple days afterwards. No a problem with the other flavors.

[supermom]

[millie]

Millie-
Thanks for this post, you sort of reminded me of slimfast, lol. I have a couple cases at home, but I'm curious as to what exactly is in the "set" you bought. I think I knwo what your talking about, I've seen it at Walmart before, but don't remember what exactly is in it, or how long it's supposed to last, or the cost of it, I think I remember about $20.
I'm at that point where i'm stalling in my weight loss and need a boost and something different so this morning for breakfast i had a banana creme shake (my fav), packed a milk chocolate shake for lunch, and some red grapes and raw green beans for snakcs. I'm planning on either a subway 6" sub for dinner or a healthy choice meal- what do you think?
How have things been going for you since you started it? I drank mine about 8am and it's 10:30 and i'm ready for a snack, lol! Greenbeans here i come.

ps- i do'nt remember, are snacks ok?

i have been using the slim fast shakes also.they are great, but i must say over this summer i haven't been drinking as many of them. i m going to start up again. i guess part of it was cuz i was having a bit of a problem going to the bathroom when i drank them....... you know kinda constipated!! but i tried to take something to lossen it all up a bit. any body else have this problem?

.ya know what i mean?..teheheeheh.i know i know a little too much information for some of you maybee huh?
