Been a while...

[smjmekg]

Been dealing with a lot of stuff, and avoiding the diet and exercise in the process. So to refresh...I'm 5'4'' and 174 lbs. I had my son fifteen months ago today, and Monday starts the new me. I'm starting the Slimfast diet, and I mean it. No more BSing, and no more complaining about my weight. I'm doing something about it. I WILL be back in my size 9 jeans!!! Not sure how long it will take, according to Slimfast's website I can lose 34 pounds in three months...we'll see how that goes. Overweight~~yes, unhappy~~yes, lazy~~YES, diet and exercise~~BRING IT ON!!!

I'm starting it for the first couple weeks, and then continuing my exercising. My husband and I are trying for baby number two and I want to get some weight off, safely and quickly. Then as I continue exercising, I'm gonna watch what I eat and I'm starting prenatal vitamins tomorrow. I thought since are we trying to get pregnant, prenatals would be a better choice. I think the slimfast will help the first few pounds and me with eating right and proportions, then when I'm pregnant I'll be able to continue exercising moderately and not gain as much as I did with my son, it wasn't a lot, but it's been hard to lose. I gained about 35-40 pounds and have only lost 10 still since he was born in July 08.

Good luck --- but do make sure you eat reasonably to insure that you get enough calories, vitamins, minerals, etc.  

I know that Slimfast is one of the diets that is said to be most helpful in losing weight -- I keep a few shakes in my fridge for those days when I don't have time for cooking, etc.  Just remember that Slimfast is not meant to be a life long thing and is not something that you will maintain indefinitely, so in order to KEEP the weight off, you will have to incorporate a sensible diet and moderate exercise along with it; otherwise, as soon as you go off the Slimfast, you will most likely gain the weight back again.
