I've lost seven pounds in two weeks - ask me how.

[StellaBlue]

Seriously.

SlimFast. God bless it.

Shake for breakfast, shake for lunch. If I get peckish, I have one of their 'snack' bars (many varieties - I like mint chocolate and peanut-butter nougat). I eat as much fruit and drink as much water as I want. One 16oz soft drink about every four days. Wine if the fancy strikes me, but no huge quantities. And I have been walking 20-30 minutes a day, with some sprints thrown in to get the heart rate up. That's all. Whatever I want the other meal, but no huge portions or third helpings.

Just my little tesimony. It can be done.

And, for the record, I do actually have a real, diagnosed, 'thyroid problem'. So I don't wanna hear your excuses, fat America. :7

1. Way to go

keep it going at least by increasing the exercise part. I am happy for you.

2. go to British gambling joints...

You can lose hundreds of pounds in minutes. And most likely they will never return!

3. I lost two pounds in Blackpool once...

And about forty pounds in Southend... I can't stay away from those two-pence games, you know the ones that push 'em forward and forward and forward and you keep feeding them into the top, until finally the Gareth Gates key chain is pushed all the way to the edge and - whoop! - into the winner's tray!

Yay!

5. Those ARE addictive

the "Bulldozer" arcade game, I mean, not the Slim Fast! I haven't tried them yet. There is a funny Mr. Bean episode where he gets stuck taking care of a baby in an amusement park, and he plays that game.
I read a thread about brittle fingernails here on DU in the women's forum (?), and someone told about eating Luna bars as a meal every day for a while and she noticed her fingernails weren't breaking as they used to. I think all those bars are pretty full of vites and minerals!

4. Sounds more like it's a number of

life changes, rather than Slim Fast. Not that it didn't help, but it would appear, from your post, that you've also cut out a good amount of crap food, started drinking more water, and exercising more.

You lost 7 pounds in two weeks because of your drive, desire and determination. Slim Fast was just fuel.

6. Aw, thanks again!

You rock!

7. I just lost six pounds...

In other words, I just lost my Physics Textbook (which is about six pounds, silly).... But it'll turn up I hope....
