Thanks Kim, I have no intention of breaking. I have allowed myself to break at Christmas and as I figure Christmas food is pretty naughty so that will be well and truly enough. Christmas is my motivation. If I break now, I cant at relax at Christmas. Thats the rules
Was having a look at Biggest Loser website- man they look so different! Suzy, Matt and Seth look incredible- they really did it!!!
Time to turn the puter off i think- we have a thunderstorm.
Night all!

hi everyone why I asked about everyones star sign is I have a book which tells you about what correspondes with what sign.
ARIES---FAST FOOD
TAURES---DAIRY PRODUCTS
GEMINI---FAST FOOD
CANCER---SHELLFISH
LEO---RICH FOOD
VIRGO---WHOLEFOOD,GRAINS,REFINED FOODS
LIBRA---SWEET DELICATE FOOD
SCORPIO---MOULDY OR CURDLED FOOD BLUE CHEESE YOGURT
SAGITTAURUS---FAST FOOD
CAPRICORN---TRADITIONAL DISHES
AQUARIUS---UNUSUAL FOOD
PISCES---SEA FOOD
So do our star signs match what food we like. Mine is fast food probably what caused my weight gain we owned a pizza bar. It was so hard not to have pizza to snack on my favourite was double cheese and anchovies. Ok better stop there getting the cravings.
Joysey congratulations it wont take you long .
cryss loved the poem too.
Mel if someone wanted pizza in my house at the moment they would have to sit in the loo to eat it I'm afraid with the fan going so I wouldn't smell it. SORRY
better go as usual have such a busy day cheers Di

Hi Everyone,
Today has been my worst day since starting this diet 7 1/2 weeks ago. My weight loss seems to not only have stalled, but stopped. I have been on 64 kg for almost 2 weeks now and for some reason it hit me hard today.
The result was that I missed one of my meals and have only drunk 600mls of water.
I thought late this afternoon that I would treat myself to a new pair of pants.....well that was depressing. My size 12 pants are literally falling off me, but the size 10 was too snug. The result of that was I didn't go for my walk this evening.
Its at this point I really want to eat something from the 'old' days. Some chocolate or potato chips sound really good right now.
I am hoping that this is a phase and I will probably pay for my missing meal tommorow, but I guess it's a case of just sticking at it.
My consultant said that stress causes a slower weight loss - great news - my life is a stressful one as it is and is about to get a whole lot more stressful.
I need a massage.
Sorry for whingeing - this is the only place I can do it.
Myshy (eating a mintie as she types)
p.s is it possible to be all star signs cos I crave everything on that list!
I am a taurus.

Remember on the BL, they had to pick something that they wanted to fit into by the end of the show? well I meant to tell you guys, I have a collection of Rock T-Shirts I have bought over the years from different concerts, Robbie Williams, Foo Fighters, Metallica and Nick Cave to name but a few. Well I always bought a ladies t-shirt. And I bought another tonight! just went a drooled over Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters (again) ... hmm if only I were 10 yrs younger and 50kg lighter
Greetings and welcome to Bonita- if you are looking for support and undying love like that from a dog, you have come to the right place, these girls love you no matter what, they only ever have your best interest and success at heart!
I'd like to announce that I think I drank about 3 ltrs today, got to be a world record for me girls, thanks for all the advice and suggestion, I have gone for the small bottle, lots of times, I can drink it in 2-3 gulps and I'm onto my next.
Pizza was great this morning, might have it again tomorrow, something different to the bloody omlettes I have been having for the past 8 weeks.
Official Cohen weigh in tomorrow (Wednesday), I think the low level of water will have slowed me down, I know I have lost, I just don't think I have lost double digits again. I'll keep you all posted my little vanishing friends ...
Hey for those of you who have seen a movie called Envy with Jack Black and Ben Stiller, Jack Blacks character invents a spray that makes Poo vanish, called it VaPOOrise, the big thing in the movie was "where does the POO go". Anyhoo, I'm wondering, with all the fat vanishing from this group of women, where is it going? has anyone noticed any of the skinny girls at their work, I saw one girl, who has made it her daily ritual to walk past my office in the tightest suits and short skirts and grin at me, well I saw her today, and I SWEAR that her bum was HUGE, girls I think our fat is finding new and deserved homes! I can't wait to see her big bum walk past my office tomorrow, I'll show her my shrinking one!
ok, gotta go, late night out for the rock chick, my dogs broke into our house by ripping the back door apart!!! and I'm tired.
It's been real!
I also apologise for my typos, I'm a very lazy typist!

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all your wonderful comments, you girls are the best….
REUBON: Welcome. Please don't give up now. I have been on the diet for 9 weeks now tipping at my first weigh in at 90.3kgs and yesterday I hit my personal goal of getting into the 60's and weight in at 69.9kgs, that's a 20.4kg weight lose in just 9 weeks. Best thing you can do is to get straight back on it and just forget any other way of eating exists. You have already lost a huge 20kgs and only have 15 to go, which isn't very much at all. If you stick to it you should be able to have lost it all by March next year and then all you have to do is control yourself after that, so it isn't a diet for ever just to get it off and then eat sensibly after that. YOU CAN DO IT, JUST THINK HOW GOOD YOU WILL FEEL ABOUT YOURSELF. I think the last 10 kgs of weight loss will give everyone their true result as all the surplus fat has all been used up previously so now the body will have to draw from various places where the fat has been for years which will then begin to give us our shape back. I still have just on 10kgs to loose so I can now see where the stubborn fat was, tummy, hips, back & bummmmm. I use all the different spices in my foods.
Chicken & steak seasoning, about 10ml of any type of low fat salad dressing. When I cook my vegies I use water and always add garlic powder or a pinch of curry. I also use the dried garlic & onion flakes which you can buy from the supermarket and pop in a pinch of each of those. I probably have about 20 bottles of spices sitting in the kitchen. Also when you cook fish you can get a fabulous McCormack’s Lemon & Oregano seasoning, try sprinkling that on your fish it is beautiful.
IMR: I think I know how you must be feeling finishing the diet. I have been thinking about it lately and can’t imagine ever eating like I use to. Do you still have to weight everything? I’m feeling scared already.
MEL & MYSHY: I am also a Taurus, what date is your birthday, mine is May 12.
DEVINEMISSNAT: Matt, won. I wish you had have seen it, WOW all of them looked amazing. Suzy looks like a model, god, I just love that show. Apparently the new one starts in Feb. How much weight have you lost now and how far have you got to go.
MYSHY: Have you tried that slimmers tea I was talking about. A few of the ladies that are using it swear by it as well. If you would like to email me joy@finer.com.au I’ll send you a picture of the box so you will know what to get. It just cleanses your whole body. I guarantee it will get the scales moving again. Don’t be depressed, it is probably slow because you don’t have much to loose now, you must be looking pretty fantastic at the moment. Also Myshy, if you are eating crispbread cut them right out, it only takes a few days to get use to it but they really slow your weight loss down.
CRYSS: What time is your appointment today, I hope it is early in the morning, if not and it is after 1.00pm remember your body will be retaining fluids and you will be up by a kilo by then. If you read this before hand make sure you weight yourself first thing and then again just before you leave to see them so you can see if you scales match and how much retention you have during that in-between time. When I first started I weight myself that morning and was 89.45. My appointment was at 2 pm and I tipped in on their scales at 90.3. You absolutely make me laugh, that is so funny.
Have a great day everyone. Best wishes to all. JOY

Goodmorning all!!! I made it into the 80's yeeha 89.9kg YAY!! Michelle dont be discouraged as you might be reshaping and reducing have you tried the tapemeasure?? When I had my last 10kg to lose last time I was losing the plot and spoke to the head cohens lady in Perth and she reckons the last bit to lose is the hardest as its compounded fat so dont give up it will move I know from other peoples experience it does so just be a little bit more patient and next week you'll be telling us those size 10 have done up with ease.

Weigh in today and water
hi team,
Well I weighed from yesterday to today this morning and I have lost 600gms.
It puts me under 122 @ 121.6kg (on my scales) so lets see what Dr Cohen has to say about that huh!
The my fat theory only works on truly nasty people, all the skinny nice ones seem to be the same, it's the spiteful, vindictive ones that seem to be growing! I think for some it will be a fat tongue, because the majority of them will be speechless when they see me at goal!
Ok off to work, Joysey, I only was able to get an after work appointment, I might call today and see if I can pop down in the morning.
I was also thinking, I have a SHOCKING memory, soooooo in order to help me (because it is all about me) I'm going to put my Cohen Clinic location in my info deatils so it appears on screen, if we did this, we would be able to work out who is near us and who isn't. What do others think?
ok love yus all!

Myshy - I am sending all my hugs and good thoughts your way... Im sorry I wasn't around when you needed someone. We really need to get this chat room thing worked out. I was in Mirc last night but there was no one else in there.
Cryss - my husband has the same theory as you. He says "Im finding all the weight you'r losing" and congrats on getting under 122. Good luck todady with the weight in. And you got through 3 litres of water.. Well done!
Chez, Congrats on becoming an 80's girl! You must feel good.
Following is some deep innerself examinations.
I have had a long hard look at myself and the way Im handling this program.
I have discovered that I am being extremely selfish. Why, you ask…
Well let me tell you.
When I want to break, all I think about is MY wants because I certainly don’t need it.
What I am not doing is: thinking about my health, my family and the money my husband outlaid for me to do this.
My health because if I don’t do something I am going to end up with diabeties or something.
My family – a, because I can’t do the things I want to with my kids because of my weight and b, if I do get sick, that is going to impact on them greatly!
Money- we are not rich and every cent counts so I don’t want to waste this money.
My house is suffering because I just cannot be bothered to clean as I don’t have the energy to do it.
This is going to be my new mindset. When I want to break, Im going to stop thinking about me and start thinking about others.
I will be a little selfish and think, “I want to be skinny and sexy and buy sexy clothes and underwear, go into “normal shops” to buy my clothes and the only concern I would have is that it will be too long for me.. (I hate being short!)
Have a great day everyone, You are now reading from a new mindsetted (is that a word LOL) girl.

This computer is playing tricks on me, list half my post and the lovely colours are not there !
Healthymum, i love your idea be a little selfish, as remember, lossing the weight will also benefit not only you, but your children, loved ones and like you have said and i agree your home, as its true you can not be bothered cleaning as the energy just is not there.

Doing it for many reasons
Hi girls well I only lost 4 kgs this month, really dissapointing, but I know where I have gone wrong this month and where I have to improve.
Kim, I think you have hit the nail on the head, there are many reasons we are all on this journey, and not one of them should be dissmissed because we have a craving to 'taste' something we enjoy. Because if the truth be known it is 99.9% of the time only the taste we enjoy, the feeling of being full or bloated isn't something we crave, the additional weight isn't something we crave, the high and low sugar rushes are things we crave, it's the taste!
I keep telling myself, Bread isn't going anywhere, Chocolate isn't going anywhere, all the other foods I love, aren't going anywhere. But if I don't do something about my weight, I will never have children, I'll never be able to be free to enjoy travelling and seeing the world. I will continue to hide in the house and never attend social functions because I am to embarrassed and i think everyone is judging me (which has proven to be true in most instances), I will again be able to feel attractive and confidant!
There are many reasons for us losing weight, and we should not forget one of them. Not for the sake of a piece of chocolate or a packet of chips.
and that is the end of my serious sermon

Hi all,
So many posts to read in the last few days. Congratulations to Joysey, Kaseys-mum and Moni on achieving your goals. What an excellent result and I can feel the excitement of your achievements in your posts.
Moni, you are doing so well. Keep it up and I wish that some of your strength and willpower rubs off on to me. I need it.
Cryss, don't be disappointed with your weightloss. 4 kgs is quite a lot when you look at it as 8 tubs of margarine side by side. I think you are doing great and in the end it all adds and before you know it you have achieved your goal weight.
I have been drinking 3 to 4 litres over the last 2 days and sometimes feel waterlogged. But this seems to be the secret!!!
Everyone have a great week.
So many posts to read in the last few days. Congratulations to Joysey, Kaseys-mum and Moni on achieving your goals. What an excellent result and I can feel the excitement of your achievements in your posts.
Moni, you are doing so well. Keep it up and I wish that some of your strength and willpower rubs off on to me. I need it.
Cryss, don't be disappointed with your weightloss. 4 kgs is quite a lot when you look at it as 8 tubs of margarine side by side. I think you are doing great and in the end it all adds and before you know it you have achieved your goal weight.

Hi Everyone,
You will be pleased to know I am back on track. I got up this morning with renewed energy and outlook.
So what if I haven't lost any more weight. I haven't put any on either!
I like to see immediate results and I guess they just didn't happen quickly enough for me. For the most part I have been positive - but I am blaming yesterday on hormones!
As much as I am doing this diet for me - I am doing it for my family. I don't want my kids to be embarressed when I turn up at school and I want to take my youngest child swimming.
Having been thin before - life is simplier in almost every aspect. The biggest factor in that is your self esteem. When you feel good, you are more conjusive to good things happening in your life.
My dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last year. Both sides of my parents families have heart trouble.
I didn't want that for me or as a lasting legacy for my children. It is sad enough to lose a family member through an accident - but through a preventable 'disease' is a tragedy.
My renewed outlook today got me into spring cleaning mode. I have been a bit of a hoarder the last few years and it's time for that to change too. I spent the entire day cleaning out cupboards and feel wonderful. Before this diet, I didn't have the engery to do it - always leaving it until tommorow.
I am going to go and buy my size 10 pants and enjoy the thrill of knowing I will get into them!
Ladies, thanks for your daily dose of inspiration. You are now my drug (instead of chocolate)

Hi there everyone
You are all doing so fantastically well - big hugs and congrats from me! I have been so inspired and it is great to get all the hints about the spices etc...
I have had to reassure my two teens that there will still be some "normal" food in the house after tomorrow - I have a sneaking suspicion they mean Tim Tams, so hope my willpower stays strong! I have given away the last of the wine from my wine rack this week, so I don't have to see that - maybe too tempting, especially after a hard day at the office!! I did think about drinking it all, but I felt guilty just reading all your posts, would have seemed weird to indulge when you guys couldn't!!! So roll on Friday morning and the START!!! So keep up the good work, and the posting, this is such an inspiration and a lifesaver...if all else fails I can just sit here and log on. Just thinking about my habits I think I ate a lot watching TV at night or on weekends; I can't eat at the computer (would be breaking one of my own rules for the kids!) so this is a good place to be - plus the company is an added bonus!! I will make sure to let you know how day one goes for me...

Hi everyone.
Kaseysmum, congratulations on hitting the 80s! It's so exciting when a mini goal is reached.
Cryss, 4kg is excellent! Just think, it's 4 of those gross 1kg lumps of fat the clinic has sitting on the front desk!
Rajah, your body does eventually get used to the water and you won't have that water logged feeling, nor have to run to the toilet every half hour! I go to the clinic every 2 weeks for a weigh in and chat with my consultant, but I weigh myself at home every Monday morning and write the weight on my calendar on the fridge together with the amount lost each week. I find then everytime I go to the fridge, my achievements are staring me in the face which is good for self motivation!
Myshy, fantastic that you're back on track. You have got the most positive attitude. And definitely, go out and buy those pants because before you know it, they will fit perfectly.
PerthMum, sounds like you're all organised and raring and ready to go for tomorrow.
Moni, great idea to take photos of the knickers! I don't think you realise how much weight you've actually lost until you look back at old clothes. I put on my old jeans last week and I was horrified at how big they were! I couldn't believe I was that big!
Well ladies, today marks the final day of my refeed. I can't believe that I have reached the end! I started my journey 5 months ago weighing in at 92kg, and here I am this morning weighing 61kg! I'm a third of my former self! Stay focused and motivated everyone - this feeling of success is wonderful and you can all do it!
Have a great day. Lisa
