stop wasting money.
find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have lean meat (protein) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio exercise 4-6 times a week for 30-50min, light weight training
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, past etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Unless you really have to lose ten pounds a month, I would go with your current plan since it's healthier to lose five pounds in a month than ten pounds in a month.
But I would ditch the slim fast and replace it with vitamin water. And even if you're exercising every day, it's not a matter of just how often, but also how much. I would suggest bicycling or running for about five miles a day or whatever you're capable of, build up stamina and exercising will be easier.

If you want to lose more weight, you need to eat more. Not eating enough forces your body into starvation mode, which will usually prevent weight loss. I'm sorry, but any diet that recommends drinking meal replacement shakes twice a day is TOTAL GARBAGE.
I'm doing Atkins and have lost a total of 15 pounds in my first three weeks, plus four and a half inches off my waist!. I never go hungry and I eat five times per day, in addition to drinking 64 oz of water per day. Aside from that, my skin looks AWESOME, I have a TON of energy, and I just feel better than I have in a long time!

Honestly you probably aren't eating enough. Forget the slimfast and eat a healthy (and fulfilling) breakfast, lunch and dinner with healthy snacks in between. This will keep your metabolism going. Combine this with 30 minutes of cardio 3-4 times a week and you will be well on your way. I know you said no diet plans but my best friend joined weight watchers and loves it. It's not a diet but rather a healthy lifestyle. She looks and feels FANTASTIC!!! Good luck!

I found a great way to lose weight fast and keep it off. I do body cleansing. I lost 13 pounds in 9 days and then 28 pounds in less than a month. Cleansing will help the body get rid of impurities. Impurites come from a lot of things like fast food, pollution, food additives and preservatives etc. The impurities get stored in the fat in our body. To shrink the fat, we have to get rid of the impurities by cleansing. This made sense to me and I decided to try a cleanse program and it worked. The weight came off fast and this kept me motivated to keep going, not like other diets where the weight loss it too slow. To learn more call the toll free number 1-877-587-4647 or check out the website. Cleansing was good for me. Good luck whatever you decide to do! http://losebigweight.com
