My slimming journey

Hi everybody!

Firstly, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I have decided that 2010 is going to be MY year!! The first most important item on my "to do" list is to loose 25 kg!!

I'm going tomorrow for my first appointment at Dr Cohen clinic!! I'm so excited with butterflies in my stomach! I've been reading & researching this forum for a week! The more I read the more positive I feel about me losing weight!

Most of you truely inspire me to succeed on this journey! You have really achieved phenomenal results - well done!

I do have one concern - I travel 1 - 2 weeks a month into Africa for work. How would I go about sustaining my diet in the hotels? They do most of the time have buffets - so I can dish up the " right" food, I suppose but I won't be able to weigh it. Also lunch would be tricky as the company provides food to us for lunch?

Any ideas on how to overcome this? I really want this to work!

Will keep u posted!
Cheers

Hi Mands & welcome to the forum & to Cohen's. When you see your consultant ask her any questions you may have. Once you decide that you are doing Cohen's then you will find a way to meet all & any obstacles that get in your way. Even though lunch is provided with your job you may find it best to take your own so that you will be certain that it is 100% Cohen's. I would do that for a while anyway just to be sure.
It depends on whether a 100% Cohen's meal could be provided. Wait until you have your program & study it very carefully. You will have a better idea then.
Good for you deciding 2010 is the year that you take control of your health & therefore you! I look forward to catching up with you very soon.
Cheers, Cate.
 
Helloooo!

Just came back from my first appointment and boy am I excited and geared for this!! Alma gave me so much info and answers and she just boosted my confidence in doing this.

Will go for the blood tests on Wednesday morning.

I saw before and after photos that really shocked me. I saw a lady that lost 100kg in 9 months. She looked STUNNING!!

I do currently take a diet pill "Simply Slim" and have lost 4kg thus far in 6 weeks. Didn't follow a specific diet as I was recovering from a hysterectomy, just tried to cut out all the bad stuff. Why can't I continue with the tablet? She didn't really answer my question to my satisfaction - does anybody know?

Mands, just cutting out the bad stuff would probably have resulted in a 4kg weight-loss. I looked up this "Simply Slim" & can only say that I think it's a load of codswallop! They promise things that are not possible- losing weight from specific parts of your body for example. That's rubbish. It's expensive as well.
Important rule with Cohen's-
If it's not on your plan you don't have it. There is no point paying good money & then trying to change the plan. Cohen's works but you have to stick with it 100% & eat or take nothing that isn't on the plan. It's all about getting the right balance just for you.
You don't need pills. They are a con. Taking pills will teach you nothing whereas learning to eat healthily, drink more water etc will teach you skills that you will have forever.
Cheers, Cate
 
Hey Mands,

Welcome to the forum :)

Have you been for your blood tests yet? I'm guessing you from SA, seen you on one of the local forums.

I'm going on Saturday for my appointment even though i have been on the plan before, decided i need to get a new one and start all over again :)

Good luck with the road ahead i'm sure it is going to be amazing and if you have any questions the ladies on this forum are absolutely amazing!

Take care

Hi Mands

Welcome to the forum :) you have come to the right place for support!!!

I used to eat a lot of bread pre-cohens as well. I'll have to be honest that I do really miss it but you realise that its not worth it when you see the results of sticking to cohens 100%!! You will be able to have it again eventually :)

What a great year 2010 will be! Keep up the positive attitude.

Hey Mands,
Welcome to Cohens! :seeya:
What clinic are you doing the program through? I'm from adelaide and was told both SA clinics had closed. :( Are you doing it by correspondence also?
Goodluck with the start of your program!
 
Hello Mands! How are ya today? I am curious to see how the Cohen program works for you. Sounds amazing!! Keep us posted!

I hope you have a great week of weight loss!! You're off to a great start.
 
Finally!!!

Hi All, after waiting "not so patiently" I finally received an email to say my diet plan is ready. I will be attending the "how to get started" lecture tomorrow at 16h00!!

Yipeeeeee! Mini-me - here I come!:willy_nilly:

Chat tomorrow!
 
Got my diet!!!

Hi y'all

Got my diet today!! Im so freakin excited!:jump:

Will get all the "right" food tomorrow and then Im in full force on Thursday!!

Hope everybody is having a good, "losing" week!

Failure is only a fact when you give up. Everyone gets knocked down, the question is: Will you get back up?

See ya!:waving:
 
Hey Mands, thought I'd pop by and say hello since you were so nice to visit the weird world of my diary. I'm so happy for you... I hope all goes well with your new way of eating... you should see those pounds fly off, I'm sure!! And I like your quote! It's so true. Failure DOES end the moment you get back up; so it's all in our power to not fail. Great thought when you stop to think about it. Have a great week! :waving:
 
Hey Mandz,

Just wanted to wish you luck for today and i'm sure you are going to do wonderfully on the plan, yay for you :)

My first day

First day on my new journey to change my outlook on food and take care of what I put into my body.

Must admit the first day was very hard - I got hungry and I died for coffeeeeeee. Miss my coffee. I tried having black filter coffee:eek: With no caffeine I was tired the entire day.

Now I'm contemplating what to have for dinner...fish/chichken?

However I'm determined and I will beat this monster!!

Must take it day by day!

Tx for all the support!:waving:
