It would make sense to STOP slimgenics as it cost an arm and a leg...seriously they wanted my first born as collateral (well this might be a tiny over-exaggeration).

I do still enjoy a shakes blender w/ice style for breakfast but I DO NOT pay slimgenics...after-all its not like their boosts, snacks and pills are "exclusive"...wow did you think it was?!?
NAH! COME ON! you can find the EXACT SAME diet tips, diet log, food list and do not eat list on on another, CHEAPER, site. The paper goods (lists, logs and so on) are already free on this other site and you DONT have to be registered to look at them and to place orders!.

And naturally I am a doing ALL I can in this current state of economy to save the monies $$$ so I love this place for the low cost itemsm fast shipping and I always have a great expireance with this company (I have refered other people who WANT to do slimgenics but cant affort it....Girl' save your monies!)

Although my journey with Slimgenics was/is a bouncy winding road I have come to the conclusion that its due to my body type/shape. I am a pear (an awesome pear) where most people, that are lets same a "apple" have the best results. I do not have a HUGE belly, just muffin top and thunder thighs (never heard a complaint about it lol) so the best way for me to loose the weight is to focus on those areas which only working out can really help with. HOWEVER  you "apple" shapes out there would benefit from Slimgenics trainings. There is a man I work with who has been on Slimgenics less than 30 days and has already lost 20 pounds, however he is an apple. By eating small meals 4-6 times a day he has boosted is energy and there for caused a change in his body to start working more, hence massive amazing tummy weight loss. Watching him go through the process I have watch the weight shed off him and I have seen his attitude change as well (much happier and outgoing) which is something amazing that he gained and I did as well with diet change.

Its amazing how a simple this like eating habits can change you so much inside and out.
 
In my current job there is a lot of stress on my shoulders but I'd like to think I manage it well for never done a supervisory/management position before (unless you count the military which is a bit different.). I had a medical issue, which still occurs, so I had to take a break from working out, which caused me to forget my diet as I tried to find things I would eat without getting sick. SOOO I have gained my weight back.  Its sad but true. My clothes are tighter, my attitude has changed and I am mad at myself for slipping backwards.
 
Does SlimGenics mountain of Pills really work? They don't tell you who makes them, what ALL is in them either...they just say, take 2 pills 3 times a day...now mind you they try selling you "carb blockers", "thermo slim" and "fish oil"...dont forget your bedtime vitamin. However they do state that the pills are NOT required as part of the program, only the snacks.

Nightly Vitamin I understand because we don't always get all the nutrition with our daily food intake. 

Now i am on a mission to find out who makes/supplies Slimgenics pills to find them cheaper (honestly they do work..)

OK I am SUPER DUPER mad right now....SO I PAY $16 FOR A BOX OF SNACKS..I find the same things online for $10 a box.  Save your money and order from http://www.familybariatric.com/store/category/7/32/Diet-SNACKS-/

Just made my 1st online order. My mother gave me the vegetarian chili because she and her hubby were not too fond of it and I can see why. So living solely off of chili for my 2 snacks lasted…well a whole day! I also ran out of shake mix and orange boost. Now I ONLY like the orange boost in the morning and mixed into my shake mix for my breakfast, I tried using the berry and although I love the pink color the taste was HORRIBLE.

Anyway…to carry on with the point of this. Cost WAS $257 but since I signed up for email coupons from the site I had a $50 off coupon! So $200 rather than $250, yes this IS a lot of monies however compared to the startup cost and the cost of food…well I am used to it L (not a good thing to admit).

The cost was so much due to I purchased pills, NOW to clarify the pill are NOT needed or required but they greatly help. My mom and her hubby went to NY on a honeymoon. They ate the same food and did the same things. My mom did NOT take the pills and her hubby did. She lost 3 pounds and he lost close to 10 pounds…so I am taking the pills. EFA’s (fish oil) are not on my list because I can buy them at Wally world. NOW one of the sales pitches is that THEIR EFA’s are designed for weight loss and that’s why you should buy them…ya well Wally world has them for like $5..so umm ya that’s where I’m going.
P.S. - Online ordering was easy

P.S.S - After the diet buster I lost 9 pounds...however durring this time I was sick and not eatting or drinking..so 3 days later I gained back 4 pounds SO it helped but looked like no food and no water was more helpful...

I completed my 2day diet buster with ease however now I am sick with a chest and head cold that has been going around and my Aunt Flo came over aswell so I am afraid to go weigh, altho SlimJim did call today.
My Friend Mike is down almost 15 pounds after 2 weeks, I am 1month ino this and am getting no such thing. I am starting to think that MAYBE this diet is ment for those that have a GUT as I do not have a gut.
We shall see i guess...not looking promising tho...
 
SlimJim is not seeing the resualts that they would like so they are placing me on a diet buster. Its like a 2 day crash diet from the sound of it. I was not fond or proud of my weight loss so i asked what i could be doing differently, so they were like, WELL now that you mention it you COULD try this...like really? I have to ask to get better weight loss? they also corrected my diet, I thought I was being cleaver by combining my themo snake (nilla shake) fruit for the day AND a boost into one meal - I call it lindseys super yummy shake time - i guess i am SUPOSE to have them all seporate

Been staying on plan and only lost 3 pounds, even sadder I think the 3 pound loss is only because I was sick and didn’t really eat the day before or after weigh in. It was been almost 2 weeks of the Slimgenics plan and I am losing hope and DEMAND pizza in my belly.  I was told I would lose 3-5 pounds a week while following the plan (this doesn’t include working-out) so technically I should be down 6-10 pounds, rather than 3…not having much hope in this…however my friend joined me in this program and is down 5 pounds in the 1st week (however his body build is different than mine).

1st day of Slimgenics, meat …meat…MEAT! Starting off with 2 hard boiled eggs and ½ orange in the morning (3 fish oil pills). Lunch was 2 chicken breasts that I cooked/boiled the night before and roasted chicken with TONS of broccoli at Famous Dave’s (hubby wanted food). I had the lemon roasted ½ chicken and 3 SIDES OF BROCCOLI. It was sad, the waiter asked what sides I wanted, I said only broccoli, he then asked if I wanted the cornbread and corn on the cob, I said no just broccoli…so he said OK broccoli it is. Then when they brought the food his like OK I have broccoli and a side of chicken…funny yet sad. Dont forget the min of 80oz water.
2nd Day! Once again 2 hard boiled eggs and 1/2 orange. Blew through a bag of raw fresh(ish) green beans throughout the day. Lunch was the other half of my orange and 1 1/2 chicken breasts I cooked in the morning, snack was 2 cups (ish) of peeled shrimp and polishing off the green beans. To my shock I was hungry all day long and I was never happy with what I was eatting or ate...FOOOOD yelled my belly...feed me Simore! Dinner was 5 turkey sausage patties (I thought it was burger honestly). Still hungry but I ate all my food!!!! I just keep reminding myself that they told me MORE than once, "the more you eat the more weight you will loose."
3rd Day was hard...MEAT MEAT VEGGIES. Got sick of meat...Went to SlimGenics for the Nutrition class. I was late but it was OK. There was a man in the class with his wife that was pissed about the cost, the practice and everything however his wife put him into check- it was awesome. The non-awesome part was when they weighed me and got upset that I gained 3 pounds!! My bad you told me to eat all the meat and veggies and YOU get mad because I did what you said! I got hounded "what did you eat?" 
**still slick of meat. Dinner was Salmon and Brocolli from Cheddars down the street (blah I really dont like thier food but its cheap www.cheddars.com)
