Slowly ever so slowing the last kilos are coming off but it feels as though it is going to take FOREVER!! Does anyone have experiance in this stage of Cohens? I would like some feedback if you experianced similar sluggish weight decrease or if this is to be expected. I'm so close but refuse to settle for where I am now as tempting as it is. I can see where the last kgs are still sitting (aka muffin top) and compared to what I was this new me is a vast improvement but *%@#!! I wish this last bit would hurry up and stop haunting me.
Love to hear from anyone with some suggestions on maximising the loss and keeping the scales motivated to keep moving down towards my goal. Its my B-Day in first week of July and I have really been focused on that date to be done and dusted with refeed but as we move rapidly through May its not looking promising.

I was one of the lucky ones and didn't really slow down too much. I did however change what I was eating for the last few weeks. I sort of went back to the basics and had most things plain (ie limited spices, mayo, etc).

This might help. But please don't give up, before you know it you will be on the road to finishing.

Skinny hugs.

Hi snakes,
Just wanted to pop in and say hi and hang in there!
I hope the scales start budging for you soon . You are so nearly there and have done so well. Have you read Losing's diary? She is in the same boat as you.
Good Luck!

Hi
ata, annie lusion, frelle thanks so much for your support. Don't worry I have no intentions of giving up - the way I see it is that these last kilos I have been carrying about since I was 13 so for over 20 years. These kilos have been well feed and nurtured, traveled the world and its resturants and have never been told to leave before so no wonder they want to stick around - who wouldn't. They must think I'm joking!!! lol

ata I will scale back the seasoning and flavours as you suggested see what happens. I'm sure by next week the scales will be on the move again and the all this will be a forgotten panic.

Its funny though because most of my support nextwork around me are saying "you have done so well whats wrong with where your at?" But why go through this amazing journey to sell myself short? There is no way I am stopping now, I owe it to myself to get into the recommend weight range and then after refeed allow my body to finds its happy medium. Last night I spoke to my husband and we agreed that it is no big deal if I haven't finished for my birthday, we can have an even bigger party to celebrate me when I done. Considering the year before I was suffering deppresion, crying, standing in front of my wardrobe, hating everything about going out that night, I understand what an amazing journey I have been on.
I honestly hated EVERYTHING about myself including personality. God how did my husband put up with me!! I had a great personality but it was hidden by this bitter fat person i had become who had stopped loving herself and looked twice my age. To glance behind and and see the self descutive state I was in reminds me that I have to keep going becuase for this little chicken the grass is so much greener on the other side of the fence and NEVER will I go back to that other fat place.
Skinny thoughts everyone and thanks for your support. :hug2:
 
Thanks Annie
All is going well. I have my refeed sitting at the clinic waiting for me however since I commenced I knew that this fornight was going to be a battle because socially I have only had one night at home since last Thursday and this is going to continue for another week. It just happens that we have visitors from OS, a huge milestone b-day bash of another family member, girlfriend had a baby, another girlfriends 30th and trip to city for few nights thrown in aswell. Not exactly the easiest week, so this was discussed with consultant and we decided I would do what I could, when I could and possibly need to to jump back on the program for two weeks or so before I start my refeed from start to finish without any setbacks. Its my b-day at start of July but I have decided that the best gift I could give myself this stage is the pleasure of knowing that I have finished what I set out to do. So as of next Monday I will be back on Cohens 110% to drop what ever weight I have gained this week plus the last 2 kilos needed to start refeed. ETA of refeed - last week JUNE
Finished Cohens - 2nd Week JULY
Hopefully all falls into place but will all depend on shifting the last few KG's. Must say I am fairly excited and just want to get this weekend over and done with so I can get back to normal and continue the journey. (I don't really feel I deserve the break I am allowing myself to have this weekend but I promised our guests that I would enjoy the time they are here and not let my diet get in the way of having a good time with them. completly understandable because if reversed and I had travelled from the otherside of the world to a Cohenites house I would be p'd off as well)
Cheers
 
Congrats Snakesalive you have done so well. I'm sure you are very proud of what you have achieved.

I have yet to start my program, will do this weekend. I know my toughest hurdles will be when I have to go out and be social ....especially around food. So for the first month or two I am going to try and avoid that.

We have the same b'day month - woo hoo. I am looking forward to next year when I can celebrate my weightless and keeping the weight off.

Enjoy your time with your visitors :)
 
Hiya snakes,
Thanks for the update and good luck with the plan - starting back on Monday and then re-feed. You have done great and you're soooo nearly there...Good for you, it must be a good feeling to know when you celebrate your birthday you will be looking and feeling your best!. Enjoy!!
