Thanks Linda, second one was definitely a better experience. Added some instant coffee and it tasted loads better.
We are joking here at work that I'm down two, just 82 to go!!!
try grabbing a GOOD water bottle. one that keeps things cold and looks good.
never underestimate the power of impressions. if you feel that it looks good you are more likely to use it. and i have always found the colder the better. with opti. and then with the water afterwords. i have to be at a desk when i work and cant leave until my official break time not even to get up and ge****er. so i have to have a nice insulated bottle to keep things cold for a few hours. i highly recommend it. I don't know much about slimtime shakes. but I know opti. (my third time on it) and if they are anything the same cold is the way to go.
good luck. hope you had the super nice nurse. she is amazing.
Cheers (your slimtime to my opti)
I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!

Thanks rce, third slimtime was best so far! Used my pretty Starbucks cup, lots of ice to make a "slushie" type consistency with sugar free Irish cream flavoured syrup!
