25,203Slim-Fast Update & Giveaway! *
It’s time for an update on my weight loss journey with Slim-Fast, and I’m happy to report that I have lost 5 lbs. so far!
It’s really amazing how much of a difference a 5 lb. loss can make. I’ve noticed that my jeans aren’t as close to cutting off my circulation (haha), and the best part about dropping 5 lbs. is that it really motivates you go move forward — or at least it motivates me.
Keep reading to find out how you can win one of three fabulous beach-themed prize packs from Slim-Fast!
I really thought that I would be more interested in the meal and snack bars from Slim-Fast, but I’m actually finding that the shakes are my favorite part of the plan.
Losing weight doesn’t have to mean sacrificing taste. Slim-Fast shakes are absolutely delicious and leave you satisfied, with up to four hours of hunger control. Not to mention, each shake contains 10 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber and 24 essential vitamins and minerals.
Slim-Fast’s richest, creamiest, best-tasting shakes ever come in a convenient, re-closable bottle and are available in the following flavors:
- Creamy Milk Chocolate
- French Vanilla
- Rich Chocolate Royale
- Cappuccino Delight
- Strawberries N’ Cream
SlimFast Giveaway
I have (3) beach-themed gift sets (pictured above) including a $25 Macy’s gift card. Total gift set ARV $150. Open to USA only, good luck!
Also, don’t forget breastfeeding burns on average 200-500 calories per day, so even without a weight loss program you are burning extra calories. A woman who is breastfeeding should consume at least 1,800 calories a day and achieve a gradual weight loss of 1 to 1 1/2 pounds per week.

I work out thirty minutes a day!
Also, cutting back calories. I never knew how much bread I love!
I’m actually pregnant, so not much I can do to get beach ready other than to have a maternity suite that covers me up as much as possible!!
To get beach ready, I increase my physical activity and eliminate carbonated beverages and desserts.

I never made it to “beach ready” this summer. That’s why I’m entering this giveaway! Tho I have done slim fast before and it worked well…… until I got pregnant again! Lol
I would love to win this. I have been working hard at reaching my weight loss goal, and I feel like I am stuck.
exercise!
Forvthecfirstvtime in my life I am eating healthy and losing weight!
I usually like to walk a couple of miles a day, but I was very sick the first part of this summer—so I gained weight—-then the temp soared to over 100 degrees and I never did start walking. I plan to begin this Monday!
I shave my legs with a coconut sugar scrub that makes my legs baby soft!TU
I walk more, cut sugar completely out and all white food groups.
I didn’t get beach ready this summer, darn it. :[ LOL I had a baby at the end of last summer, so I’ve been kinda busy! I’m hoping to get in shape for next summer, and would love to include SlimFast! As well as working out.
Nightly walks, bike to work, eat sensibly, and working out
I eat healthier and excersize more even if its doing a workout game on the wii to do it.
I was prego this summer!! No beach body here!!
No beach for me this summer! :( Hopefully, October!
I get beach ready by buying a new book and a new fluffy towel :)
I’m not beach ready at all this summer, and it’s almost over.
P90X2 and diet!
Taking long walks and eating right.
I love to work out on my gazelle at home and eat lots fruits and veggies along with drinking lots of water.

love slim fast it has been one of my go to’s when i have a busy day and not enough time to make a meal.
I started eating better and working out on my elliptical.
I don’t go to the beach! It’s too far away. But if I did, I would get an early start on the tan so I don’t burn and lose some pounds!
I start cutting calories and working out with zumba!
To get beach ready, I slather on a ton of sunscreen! :)
slimmed downed a little got a spray tan made sure to stockup on sunscreen
I started running.
I got beach ready by using them gym where I work and eating healthier! We actually had a run walk at the end of May in our office park. I still didn’t lose as much as I wanted, so I really want to try slimfast!
With slim-fast and walking a lot!
I like to prep for summer by working out more to tone up
would love to go to the beach, but it is very far away. but I would use slim fast! lost 30 lbs before on this. need it again!
Beach season isn’t much different from any other for me so I’m either sticking with my workout routine or taking a break from it :)
The best way for me to get beach ready is cut out all processed food, exfoliate and moisturize like crazy.
I am using slim-fast and walking.
shopping for swim stuff
zumba on the kinect
I’ve been getting beach ready by trying to lose weight as well. I’ve lost 10 pounds so far!
Counting calories and exercise!!
Would love to win this!
I’m trying to eat healthier and hoping to get to walking more as soon as my knee heals from a fall.
I am eating more veggies!
So was never ready for the beach this Summer. I guess it’s never to early to start for Summer 2013!
Watching my caloric intake & portion size biggest for me.
I get beach-ready by exercising every morning and eating as many vegetables as possible instead of junk food!
I avoid eating salty things so i’m not bloated!
We always bring a few lap blankets to the beach- it’s already turning cold now during the early evenings.
I started drinking my coffee black and eat a lot more salad for lunch. I also began making sandwiches with tortillas rather than bread. They’re easy to roll up, contain the veggies much better (they always seem to roll out the sides when using bread) and are light. :)
I am pregnant during this summer so I went out and bought a cute new bathing suit to show off my bump! :)
I get peachy with daily exercise, which includes any one of the following water aerobics, cycling, yoga and stretch classes.
I have lost quite a bit of weight but depend on slim fast for vitamins and minerals. Would love to have coupons because some months I have to buy the store brand. Slim fast has been my go-to for years(and I am 66)!
I am not really beach ready. I am at the upper end of normal and I hate to say have given up trying to loose that baby weight. I love Slim Fast bars but a bar product like that isn’t in our budget. Would love to win!
My family and I were planning a summer vacation which included beach time so I wanted to make sure I was swimming suit ready. For me it was all about carb portion control. I am a major carb addict. Yes, I can admit it. I cut my carbs to the actual serving size. I also started using my kids’ little cartoon design plates because they are smaller and it made it appear that I had a fuller plate. The last step was increasing my veggie intake. I lost 13 pounds in just over a month. I’m still a size 12/14 but it made me feel better about myself. I would love to get down to a 10!
I used my Kinect for exercise.
This stuff tastes great!
Trying to work on lifting weights more than just focusing on cardio
I try to workout for at least one hour 5x a week. I have also been getting better about eating healthier foods.
I got beach ready this year with my stroller pushers group! In a pack…that’s how we roll!!! ;-)
I have been drinking slimfast for 1 year and have lost and kept 50 lbs off.
I’ve cut back on the a,mount of soda I have been drinking and started walking more.

I would love to win this!
I try to cut out soda!
Well, I always make sure that my toe nails are painted. :)
I started writing down everything I ate, even though I thought I was doing good I was surprised how many calories I was eating and drinking! Also swimming with my daughter for 2 hrs a day.
I try to cut back on my sugar intake.
I’ve started walking every day…about 5 miles a day. I also started yoga and pilates on the Wii.
I get beach ready this summer by getting a spray tan. I purchase 30SPF sun tan lotion and 100% aloe vera in case of a burn. I purchased new swimsuits for me because I have lost 48 lbs.
Watching what I eat and trying to chase the kids around!! :)
I exercise and eat right!
I didn’t….tried biking but it onlu put more weight one? ;/
Well, summer isn’t over here yet. I’ve been doing good about walking and exercising a little everyday. Tracking things on my FitBit and logging foods.
I try to walk more, park my car farther away from where I need to be.
I started in March with slimfast and added extra walking 6 days a week.
I did not really set any.
I started going for walks every morning.
I counted my calories, carbs, protein and fiber intake!
I didn’t!! Hopefully for next summer! I did just buy a tread climber so I’ll be New Year Ready!!!
I bought myself a new bikini this year. I used to always wear one piece suits because I hated how I looked in a bikini. Last year we changed how we ate completely and I dropped 25lbs. Now we maintain a healthy diet and the weight has stayed off, so for the first time in the last 10 years, a bikini seemed in order :-)
I live in Florida and 2 miles from the beach so I stay pretty much beach ready all year long. I love walking especially on the beach and spend my days running after children.
I have been hitting the gym all year and I got a new swimsuit. It helps, but I could still use some help losing a few. Thanks!
To get beach ready, I slather on the sun block!! (and bring extra with me)
i work out 3 times a week and eat healthy so in the spring i am ready for the beach
I walked a lot and cut out junk food. It helped but not as much as I wanted.
i try to walk in the neighborhood as many days a week as i can.
We always have a large supply of fruits and veggies on hand in late spring and summer – I have found the kids will grab a healthy snack more often if it’s on the table or right when they open the fridge. That goes for me as well and helps with getting beach-ready!
Cuttin’ the calories!
lots of sunscrren
Walking, eat more fruits n veggies
I had to move to the south no beach but, I love the beach in Ohio for long walk and relaxation
I only wear long tshirts and jeans to the beach..so that is how I prepare..thanks,simmsmba@gmail.com

We get ready by preparing a bag with sunscreen, making sure the sand chair is durable, buy an umbrella, a big floppy hat and a new suit.
Drinking lots of water and cutting back on sweets.
I did the Brazil Butt Lift videos to get ready for summer.
I try to do a good bit of shopping to spruce up my summer wardrobe! :)
I avoid the beach. At all costs :-)
Ugh… the beach scares me… I’m never beach ready.
I get beach ready by walking 5 times a week and doing strength training up to 6 times a week.
Lots of sit ups! Thanks for the chance to win.
I prep for summer by stocking up on lots of sunscreen!
