Today is the day

Afternoon all! I am on track and havent deviated today which is gr8! Water hasnt been too flash however this i am not worried about cos i am still trying to get on track after surgery and trying to get out of the 2-3 wks of regular eating. I noticed my face has broken out with acne relatively badly and am so eager to get the diet under control to enable face to clear up.

To all who have told me to stop kiking myself for the deviation- thanks. Im not realy worried as i have been off diet for a cple of wks for a medical reason and i no its gunna be a while to get back to into the routine 100% again. I was venting my anger! I no i need to get back on track and every day is a new day!! Ive been gd today!! No deviations- just water to go! ANd now my new male friend (BF??) has asked me on another date in a wk and also to a concert in Oct so he obviously see's this going smwhere so thats an incentive. He says he loves getting to know me and the time we spend together (only had 2 dates- both just for coffee's) he enjoys and misses me when he isnt with me. Is this smone who is very lonely or just enjoys my company?????? Im so inexperienced in this department cos of lack of confidence and its hard to read the signs and signals. Also not used to such attention.!!!!!!!!!!

Well, i better go and finish the washing- its never gunna end!! I just cleared wardrobe as i tend to just chuck it in and leave scrunched in basket so trying to get organised!!! Welcome to all the newies- just give it ur all and ask for advice and support if and when u need it- everyones here for the same reason in the end!!

Hi everyone,
I haven't officially started the program yet -waiting for blood test results. But I wish I was more motivated, just feeling overwhelmed by the task ahead! Have not slept properly - kids are sick. I need some inspiration - and the scales have gone UP in ONE week. HELP!!!!

Ticker update

Hi all,

Just wanted to update my ticker. Hmmmm, this is the biggest loss in 1 week. I lost 2.05kg in 1 week. Did not think there would be any change cuz I was deviating on and off over the last 2 weeks and ate quite alot of rubbish.
Anyway, about 4kg more to go...I cannot wait!!!!
 
Hi all,

Rachael Welcome. I am also from the beautiful south west. Gelorup. Where are you? You're sure to get lots of help here. The posts are really encouraging and it's nice to know you're not alone. Good luck.:)
Heavenlylamb OK so you had a little (big) slip up. Get back on the wagon and forget about it. Maybe the next week will be a bit smaller weight loss but at least you'll be going forward. Try never to go anywhere without a couple of pieces of fruit and some bikkies. Then at least you won't be starving and be so tempted. But oh how can you refuse your gorgeous kids. ;)
DeDe23 You sound quite excited with your new beau. Good for you. Just go with the flow and play it by ear. If he knows you're on a diet then he will understand about you making the best choices and if he doesn't then there's plenty more fish in the sea. Try not to make it too big an issue with your choices when you're out but just do the right thing as best and as quietly as you can and have a good time. Good luck.
fornight You look amazing. Not like you need to loose weight at all. Are you attached? (if you don't mind my asking). If you're not now I'm sure you will be soon. Keep up the good work. Are you on the real programme yet or still on the interim diet?:)

I haven't done very well for the last couple of weeks with a few different events on like fathers 88th birthday yesterday and big family luncheon (I took chicken and salad) but of course had to try a bit of quiche but didn't have any chocolate birthday cake or the pumpkin pie I made so felt pretty good but did have 3 glasses of wine DAMM. Have got golf championship dinner on Wed night so will TRY to be extra good.:eek:

The old me and Lizzie hope you're going well.:D

Cheers for now.
 
3ltr of water- YAYAYAY

Just checking in on you all- got thru 1st day back on the wagon and thru my 3rd litre of water- im really proud of myself!! I had a free facial tonight and it was more of a huge goss sesh then cosmetic. I had never had a real one and this was gd. No purchases- sensitive skin. Waiting 48hrs see if i react. Has anyone noticed (esp the younger members) their face breaks out if they are off the plan???? Not with a small deviation but actually with normal eating?? I have badly and never norm a pimply person. I hope the water helps!!! Oh well.

Gayegel: Yep. pretty happy at the mo with Matt. Its not too common to find the boy next door who is interested in u for u!! Will get a gd foto when i reach the 70's of us! Eating out is scary- havent done it since starting (except when being off diet for cpl wks) so it will be a challenge but i wont make a huge thing about it. As long as i stay within relative closeness (like a chicken salad or something like that) i will not jeopardise the diet too much. HE knows and understands and says he has faith i will make my goal!! He likes me how i am but he knows i am not happy with ME.

I have a dinner sat night at a Jamaican restaurant- what sort of foods do they have and what wld be ok to eat?? I will just have to suss it out when i get there!! It is in the hands of the luck gods!! Its all a part of this process we call life. Its something we just have to handle those hurdles we face- im not missing out on a best mates birthday for the sake of being thin- i will just make a concious effort to be healthy and not push limits too far. I have made choice not to drink and to help this- i am driving there!! Alcohol is banned on this so it makes it easier to abstain if i make it harder to do so with the responsibility of driving. DIet coke isnt that bad really....hmmmm

Night and heres to another day on the wagon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Thank you everyone for your kind words. It just make it easier for me to perserve.

gayegel: Nope. I am not attached. Are you going to intro guys? I certainly dun mind!! hahaha! I am still in the interim. I took my blood test this morning and is waiting for the results to see how the liver performance is.

Singapore gals/guy: Sat or Sun are fine for me.


I was talking to a guy friend just now. He don't think my face is "radiant" with good health. I am about 67+kg now (not going to weight till next sun!!!) and he thinks I should just lost another 2kg and stop. He thinks my aura energy is not as vibrant as it used to be. Yes. He can see a person's aura. His comments make me a bit worried to a certain extent. My shoe size is 7 and my ideal weight range is between 55 to 60.
 
The Final Countdown!

Hi Everyone

Very quick visit - just a ticker update. Not long to go now before I order my refeed... which I will do when I hit 61kg.. they say it takes a couple of weeks before it gets to you and considering my true Cohens goal is 59kgs, i might even get there by the time the refeed arrives!

I finished up at my job on Friday so that I can go back to uni and finish my final prac block to become a high school teacher, and they did a collection for me and i got a $220 coles myer voucher. I went to Target yesterday to try to spend this voucher and I don't mind telling you all that i bought SIZE 10!!! Two pairs of pants, two jackets and a top, all SIZE 10!! I've never been a size 10. When I first started Cohens, my first goal was to fit in to a Target size 14 so to get a 10 is amazing.

Feeling very proud. Can't wait to get my lips around some pumpkin and brocolli.. craving!

Well done to everyone else on their success. Stay strong and keep going. No food tastes better than being a size 10 let me tell ya.

Anyway, see ya next update!
 
*SUNSHINE*
WELL DONE!!!
Congratulations for fitting into a SIZE 10! My god, i cant imagine the feeling :)
I had my first weigh-in yesterday having been on the Cohen's program for just a week and im proud to say im 4.2kg's down and have lost 23cm off my body!! Im so excitted, and so ready to see myself into Size 12 for Summer!!!

Keep up the great work everyone, this is so worth it!!
 
How do I sign up for Cohens?

Thanks to everyone for responding to my questions in relation to starting Cohens. I am about to embark on this program because of the great success rate. The only problem is there are no clinics in Melbourne. What do I do?

Thanks again
 
Trim-Trim,

I think you should just give one of the two clinic's below a call and just ask them??.. Im sure they can work out a way for you to do it :)

Hope this helps you!! You will be so pleased with the results, believe me!!

I am SOOOOO happy now.

I had my blood test yesterday morning and the result is back! My consultant, Peter, just called me and he said they were so fantastic that he can’t believe it. My liver is back to normal healthy state!!!! The measurement shows that it is mid of healthy range. He said I should be proud of myself for getting there so fast! Following the diet strictly as well as eating my supplements religiously certainly did pay off!

My original blood sugar was a little bit out of healthy range but now its also mid healthy range! He said he will be sending the results to Dr Cohen and he think he is definitely saying YES for me to be on regular Cohen Diet Plan.

I still have approx 10kg to go so he don’t think it will be long before he can order a refeed program for me!!! Yipppeeee!!!!!
 
fornightwell done thats great news you must be so proud of your self congratulations :D what supplements do you take each day? :D
 
quick update

hey all,

sorry for not replying for a few days i've been in Melbourne visiting my best friend. Did we deviate despite all the yummy food and drinks on offer? NO WAY. Stength is more than double when you're doing it with someone else.

I've only got 1.5kg before i order refeed i'm quite nervous.

Anyone have ant tips on how to get this stubborn 2.5 kgs off?
 
Fornight: Well done....Not long now. Bet it seemed like ages till you got to this stage when you first started, but you're almost there!!!
Since the last few posts were on re-feeding, would appreciate any comments. My Cohen goal weight is 51-54kg. I was planning to order the refeed when I get to 54kg, but if it takes a while to receive it, would I already reach 52kg when I get the refeed. So should I order the re-feed at 56 instead?
