Cohen's Lifestyle Cohens Lifestyle Support - New

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
thanks pinksultana
a new treat WOW :)

Cate we would love to see a pic. Did you feel uncomfortable getting a compliment. I am having a lot of trouble accepting compliments. I dont know why, I get embarrassed.

ICL - a personal chef - my dream
 
I have written a huge amount in my diary & came in here afterwards for a change!
About the Pic- Mmmmm. I hardly have any befores.( I used to rip them up!) Tasmania is such a small place(<1/2 a million pop'n) & we used to own a well-known business. Even though some will think they know me the photo would be a dead giveaway. As I go I have learned to really pour my heart out in my diary. It really does help heaps! If you haven't started one please do. I'll see how I feel about a pic, after goal.
Consultants- My consultant in Hobart has been there & done Cohen's- I've seen her befores! She is lovely. I think I talk too much to be a consultant & I hate make-up & having to dress up all the time.
Lam- U.S. mangoes seem quite different to Aussie ones. When I could buy the Aus. ones I chose those that were turning from green to orange-sort of patchy. You should be able to tell from smelling them also. I prepare a few & keep the flesh in a container, marked-Mango, 1 fruit= 150g & do the same for kiwi fruit & honey dew melon. I always weigh these fruits. I rarely eat mango on it's own now, but combine it with other fruit & make a day's worth of fruit salad.Fresh asparagus you break off the woody stem by snapping it, not cutting & I find is best steamed-don't over-cook.
The compliment?- Shocked first, then embarrassed, then thrilled!
Thanks all for your lovely words. Keep up the good work & if you want to ask me anything anytime come have a peek in my diary. Warning-I am very verbose! Bloody chatterbox once I get going!:eek: xo Cate
 
Wow Cate! You're doing so well. I am spewing because I can't get mangoes at the moment and I used to have a half mixed in with my natural yoghurt. Just can't stomach it otherwise. Haven't tried asparagus yet and don't think I will. I went away last week with hubby to Bali and had a great time. Didn't worry too much about food choices as we walked heaps while over there. I think I actually gained some muscle tone in the legs and did not put on too much weight. All the clothes feels the same as before I left so I don't think I did too much damage. Had heaps of cravings yesterday (first day back on the diet) but feel better already today. I've found I need the crackers and fruit to keep me going where before I went away wasn't needing to eat the fruit and crackers.

Anyway, spoke to my consultant the other day and told her I'm not including my week in Bali so seeing her in four weeks from last Tuesday. Am back on track and have decided I'm going to get a facial and massage when I hit the 80kg mark.

I'll have to figure out how to put the before and after pics on. Even had a photo taken at airport and noticed how much weight I've lost off my face already. My consultant said the weight comes off from the top and works it way down. Mind you in my last measurements I had lost 5cm around one leg so I reckon the tummy is where it's going to come off last. Can't wait to get into a size 14, then a 12 then a 10.............
 
Asparagus and chicken soup is really yummy with parsley and curry. See the Cohens website.

use the barmix to shred it all up in the end, its thick and yummy. The best part is that you can add more water if you need fill your tummy. I lived on this the first time I did Cohens. Now that its getting cold, soups are all that I want to eat.

The other forum seems to have attacted some members, this site is very quiet these days.

I need some help please. I feel like being treated to a pampering session & I don't have a clue where to start. I have never had a facial or a manicure. I suppose I might just ring up some beauty parlours or whatever they are called & ask. It's just that I will feel like a goose not knowing anything about them. Any clues gratefully appreciated. Time for a treat! Cheers, Cate
 
Cate,
Manicures are a great way to start, you'll spent all your time admiring your lovely hands. Also reflexology, not sure how popular it is in AU but it is incredible to have your feet pampered. Much love

KGB, just had a look on the website for the recipe but I cant find it. Can you share it with me. I love asparagus. For all the people who havent tried for me it is best steamed just until it is bright green. Not too musshy, cant stand the canned variety
 
Cate .. for me a pampering MUST invovle massage.... it's great for shifting toxins in your cells too. HIGHLY recommend a massage, just ensure you tell them the pressure you like. Usually costs anywhere up to $70 for an hours massage but most smaller places will do them for about $50. Well worth it.

Pedicures are great too. Not sure if you have them where you are but ProfessioNails have amazing massage chairs you sit in while having your feet and lower legs pampered.... Usually they do a one hour spa pedicure with one hour manicure for $60. So that's 2 hours for $60.

I LOVE being pampered.

Enjoy immensely.

MANGOES - I coldn't live without my mangoes. I've started buying them tinned. They are perfect for my stirfys with a little curry added.

happy shrinking all
 
I didn't think we were allowed tinned mangoe and if so I haven't seen it so I will look out for it at the supermarket.

My local beautician does a detox body wrap that goes for about 2 hours for about $100 so I'm going to do that when I reach the 80kg mark. Just be aware that when you go in for a massage they ask you to wear these awful disposable paper undies but at least you don't ruin you good ones...lol
:rolleyes:
 
ooo I've NEVER been asked to wear paper undies for a massage.. and I have them regularly. Always wear my own sexy grandma knickers LOL

The tinned one's I get Tania are Admona and they're in natural juice with no preservatives, sugars or anything... not sure how they stay fresh inside the tint though.
 
At the moment I've only got horrible,old grannie knickers.:eek:
I'm not allowed tinned mango-wish I was!
I've been told about a place I can go to have a pamper package incl. a massage so will check it out very soon. Feeling a bit fragile at the minute so might not post in here for a few days. I will still look though. Thanks for the suggestions & encouragement, xo Cate
 
Cate, I hope everything is ok... I will look forward to hearing from you soon. You should go ahead with the pamper package you sure do deserve it.
 
Hey Lam.....I'm still waiting for my diet. Hopefully it will come either today or Monday. Message me with directions for another site. :)

I totally agree about the support in here, I joined and posted a while ago and only one person welcomed me..I find the other forums much more friendlier than in here..
 
Hey ladies,
There is another site, . It has a lot of information and other Cohen-ites. I wasn't sure if I could post it here or not. I'm really new to this forum stuff and posting things. But, here goes.
Hope to see you there.
 
Hi fellow cohenites,

For those who are still around, please don't go to the other sites (post in here too) I think we are pretty friendly and supportive in here. I havn't been around much been busy with work (at work and at home..grrr) but I/m back for now ready to offer support, tips, advice and lend an ear.
Well it's been just over 3 months now and 18 kgs down (39 pounds).. people are really starting to notice now and I am getting many compliments..it feels good, definetely makes me want to just keep going. I am really loving this program..I had tried so many other diets in the past but none have worked like this does.. I still have a long way to go but i am focussed and know that I can do this, one day at a time....(aiming to look fab at 40 this August)
Going shopping tomorrow for new clothes, my pants are clown pants now so time for new ones and most of last Winters clothes are way too big now so off to do some major damage to the bank balance..yeee haaaaa!!
You are all doing great, keep it up, this program is soooooo worth it!! and remember if you think of deviating or the voice inside you is telling you to eat that chocolate ...don't do it! You have a lifetime to eat chocolate (in moderation of course) just think cohens food for now, food you crave ain't going anywhere, it will still be there when you have finished.
A great weekend to all of you

Awww roly poly you must have got us on a quiet day or down day. A few of us hit a snag emotionally a couple of weeks ago. So I'm sorry if it's delayed but a humungous WELCOME and HELLO. I hope you come back, feel welcome and loved. We're here to support you, and allow you to support us. One bbig happy family here xxooxxoo

Way to go Annie on the 18kg down... great effort.

Cate if you're dropping in for a quick read, I hope all is well in your world, and that you're being good to yourself. xxoo

LAM how's things going?

Keepentabs..... enjoy your last meals before the plan arrives. It'll arrive soon enough and away you go.. shrinking with the rest of us.

I ventured over to 'another' site.. seems to be predominantly US, introduced and not once person said hi.. think I'll stay here where I'm loved lol

I haven't done any washing for about a week due to the weather here and rummagedthrough my draws today, pulled out a pair of shorts I was going to put in the 'soon fit me' pile. But thought I'll try them on. Low and behold they not only fitted me they were slightly lose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, I only tried them on about 8 weeks ago and I couldn't even get them to meet in the middle let alone do up the button, the zip and have them a tad bagg!!!! I was amazed.

I have renewed inspiration now.. .from myself. The scales have barely moved, I lost my measurements but obviously I'm still shrinking!

Over the moon here!
 
Annie and IChooseLife, I'm so envious about the clothes falling off! I can't wait until I'm in that boat. Enjoy your shopping-- and all the compliments! I'm sure you're both looking awesome.

Keepentabs, the waiting is so tough, isn't it? While you're waiting, enjoy a big piece of chocolate for the rest of us! Good luck. This plan really is great. You'll be losing in no time at all.

Ezzy... please don't go! I've only been here a few weeks, but I've found everyone to be very friendly and encouraging. Like someone else said, maybe you caught the boards on an off day. So, welcome.... and best of luck!
