okay, so july is almost over.
then, its August.
school starts a few days before labor day weekend.
i pretty much blew it ALL summer by eating junk food.
i feel like crap about it because now i can't even loose enough weight in that amount of time.
what i was thinking, was the slmifast diet to go on until i loose the weight i want. THEN go back to eating low-cal and working out.
i'm 5'4, 143lbs. i want to weigh 130. and be able to fit into a size 7. i can barely fit into size 9 now.

Healthy Choice & Lean Cuisine offer (frozen) foods that taste really good. I eat them when my mom doesn't have time to cook, and they taste like home made food. There are SEVERAL options like, Four Cheese Manicotti, Lasagna, Chicken Alfredo, Egg Rolls, Beans & Rice, even Pizza! I would think that frozen food would taste disgusting, but my mom tried it out and I ended up loving it too. Look for Healthy Choice in the green box, and the Lean Cuisine in the white boxes. You can find them in your frozen foods section. & They're usually pretty cheap. (About $1.89 per box) You can choose from whatever you like. I'm like the pickiest person ever when it comes to food, but even I liked their food.
Post baby weight, my mom exercised for 1 hour/1 1/2 hour a day for 3/4 days a week, and ate the frozen foods for lunch and dinner. There are so many varieties, you wouldn't even consider it to be frozen. She lost about 15 pounds I think in about 2/3 weeks. The food has just the right amount of calories and fat that is healthy for you. Just put your best effort into your diet, and don't give up!

Try a healthy diet with low-cal or low-carb plus exercising. Some premade things work, but slimfast does not. A lot of people say the special K diet works though, and the food is pretty decent. [ advicegirl367's advice column | Ask advicegirl367 A Question ]
ImFakingHotPink answered Wednesday July 25 2007, 8:43 pm: i'm not sure what your question is. i'm not familiar with slimfast but i know there are many pro's and con's with a diet that has premade food.
Pro-- you can never go wrong with thinking whether the food is dietly correct for you. If you continue eating the food and nothing but the food that is slimfast you should loose weight.
Con-- Eating out is difficult- if impossible. Pre-made frozen food is usually disgusting. Eating the same food for a month is extremely hard. Some diets like slimfast which have shakes and frozen meals that you can buy at the food store tend to not have all of the vitamins your body actually need and if eaten for too long, the body will get sick.
If you plan on doing the slimfast, I recommend that you take a daily vitamin, just to be safe. I recommend Centrum, it has all the daily vitamins needed.
A recommended steady weightloss is about 2 pounds a week. There are 4 full weeks in August, therefore if you loose 2 pounds a week in August you should loose 8 pounds. However, most people who are just starting a strict diet can loose up to 5lbs. a week because their body isn't use to the change and the fat burns off faster.
