Finally going to see the NUT tomorrow so I guess I will have to pick my optifast flavours. Any recommendations? I bought a number of sugarfree flavourings so I am thinking I should get some vanilla but what is the chocolate like? I have had slimfast before and found the chocolate drinkable.

I had a hard time with the vanilla in the first while..I added cinnamon to it and that helped a bit, but the chocolate was great!

hope that helps

Do you know are we allowed to add fruit to them? Or is it just calorie free flavorings?

No fruit allowed...only sugar-free fruit flavoring. At the start of the diet the vanilla, when just mixed with water in a shaker bottle, was quite disgusting. It tasted like vanilla cake batter and left an after taste. I experimented and added either crystal light grape or tangerine-orange flavor along with ice cubes in a blender and then I thoroughly enjoyed them. The taste reminded me of orange or grape creamsicles. The chocolate is good anyway you prepare it. My favourite was in the blender with ice cubes and a little bit of instant coffee...it tasted like an iced cappucino. If I had to do it over again, I would probably order 3 boxes of chocolate and 1 box of vanilla.

Thanks Lori, did you mix the instant coffee with ho****er first? That one sounds like it could be a favorite of mine too!

No, I didn't disolve it first...I'm too lazy. I just threw about a teaspoon of instant coffee right into the blender with the shake mix, water, and ice cubes.

I actually liked the chocolate quite a bit. The vanilla was decent with crystal light and ok alone. I would do like Lori and do 3 chocolate and 1 vanilla . I had ordered 2 of each.

Thanks everyone! Got that all done, now just off to buy the last of my suppliments and vitamins.
Now the big wait begins. 5 weeks as of yesterday! I know it will fly by. Getting anxious and excited.

The NUT set my goal weight about 20 lbs higher than I chose for myself. I guess that's good but I would really like to hit my goal after I hit hers!!!!

Good goal Alle!! I thought the exact same thing, I would like 20lbs less than she recommended.

Let me know what you find for Iron - that is the one I'm still searching for!

I have to take some Before photos soon... I seem to be putting that off!!
