    They are £4 for a pack of 6, flavours I spotted were chocolate (eww), strawberry (ok) and cafe latte (yum - but makes my wee smell of coffee :o).

    strange question and completely off topic but how did you know your wee smells of coffee? I too like the cafe latte but hadnt noticed that strange side effect lol :rotfl:
    :j2 years smoke free :j
    :eek: now to lose the extra 4 stone :eek:

    I was shocked at the price of Slimfast so use Tesco Ultra Slim. The raspberry bars are nice and the shakes are ok. 3 for £2 for the shakes and they are working. I'm having less than 1200 calories a day and have lost half a stone in 4 weeks. I'm not huge (maybe a stone overweight) so I would expect the weight loss to be quicker with someone with more to lose. I have lost the taste for greasy food and chocolate now and feel really sick after cheating so am hoping for another half a stone in the next month. I have a shake or a bar for breakfast, Ryvita and tuna or low fat Philadelphia for lunch and a huge salad on an evening with some chicken or fish. I think if I did two meal replacements I'd do better but I'm not that disciplined really.

    The 6 bottle pack of cafe latte, chocolate or strawberry flavour are £2 online at Asda, not sure when the offer ends though. I placed my order on Sunday and received it yesterday. ;)

    Eat a proper diet slim fast is a con anyway. You'll lose weight then stop using slim fast and put it back on again you need to actually change your life style that the cheapest. If your gonna do that any why waste your money on slim fast.

    When its on offer it is an easy, cheap quick meal. I use it 1 or 2 days a week for maintenance almost every week. It is not a con if used as part of a normal balanced diet. Even a full price slimfast shake is cheaper and more satisfying than a bought sandwich! I think you should give the original poster the benefit of the doubt, she might be using it as part of good lifestyle to maintain her weight. I can vouch that it works!

    Not only does it work that way but the longer you use it the less ability you have to eat a large meal. I'm struggling to get my daily calories about 1000 now because I have a much smaller appetite. That's the main reason I use meal replacements like Slimfast. It helps you to change your lifestyle because the longer you diet the less you are able to eat. I'm full after half a shake now. I use it as a discipline aid - if I'm full I won't snack because I just can't do it.
