Trying to Win at Losing Weight

Ok, so I have to admit it!  The website for Sim Fast impressed me.

I was thinking about trying Slim Fast to help get a jump start on my diet, right?  So I remembered that I had registered for their site several months back in order to get a free pedometer.  I went to the website on Friday and got kind of sucked in!

There’s a bit of a “learning curve” with it, but if you take the time and go through all of their features, it’s pretty neat!  I really liked it!

You can set it up with your information and track your weight each week, you can keep track of your water intake, calorie intake, and there’s a meal plan area which helps you plan out what you will eat for the day with meal suggestions and recipes.  You can also set up an excerise plan on the site, figure out your bmi and there are motivational downloads to help you.  Once registered, you can also use the community forum to chat with other people using the Sim Fast diet, or ask questions to slim fast reps and dieticians.  Slim Fast also offers a 1-800 number  customers can call for support or help.

What caught my attention is that the site is free.  There’s a lot of information and tools on it that I know I can benefit from.  I used to pay a pretty high monthly fee in order to have features like this on the Weight Watchers website.  I even had to pay for the online portion when I was attending and paying for meetings.

So far, Slim Fast has been impressing me.  I actually went out and bought some this weekend, so I can start on Monday!!  I even talked to my hubby who is now completely on board!  We were walking through Costco and saw scales, so we started talking about getting a new one cause ours sucks.  So he stepped on one, and stared at the number.  Got off of it and steps on the next one, which was like a pound higher, then says…they’re probably not calibrated!  lol  Umm…no, you just weigh more than you thought!

Anyway, he agreed that we will start Monday, and he likes the fact that we’re starting with something gimmicky, like Slim Fast.  I think it will help us stick to it, for the beginning at least.

I’ll be back tomorrow to let you know how the first day went!
