I jumped on the netball court, and then I realised that I had overdosed on fruit! OOPS! Perhaps that's why I wasn't completely exhausted at netty. hmm... interesting... ;)

WANNABSEXEE (or should I say Definitely-Well-and-Truly-on-her-way-to-Being-Sexee!)you are such a great support. Thanks for continuing to read and respond to my drivel! I'd be stuck without you :)

oops wrong diary...ha ha ha

sorry decisionmaker.. ha ha ha.. got distracting by wannabe....ha ha ha

Well that is great that you are shrinking and becoming light as a feather... way to go.. best things about deviating/mistakes is we learn from them...

I am living in the 80's for the moment too.. i love it cant wait to warp back in time and indulge in the 70's...
Keep up the great work..

Hi Joh, About the Anzac....There is that little demon inside us saying "C'mon, you don't really want to be slim, do you?" or something along those lines & before we know it there's something in the mouth that we really, really wish we hadn't had. I'm going through it now. I did so well to be deviation-free for a whole 28 weeks until I got to my goal weight & now I'm self-sabotaging 18 months later. Next Monday I am back on Cohen's 100% until I am back at GW & then I am going to follow the maintenance guidelines forever. I know it works, I know it's sound. You do too. It is so worth doing 100%. I can't wait to be back in the Cohen's zone, cheers, cate.
 
Thanks so much, KC!!!!

I was so excited too! I lost 0.4 yesterday and 0.6 today - insane!

Have been out and about all day today and not had a chance to weigh my food - but did my best at staying as close to the plan as possible... so am not sure how things will go tomorrow.

Thanks for noticing, gorgeous! :) :) :)

I was the same as you yesterday, was soooooo busy I really didnt get a chance to weigh all my foods but I havent jumped on the scales today I am going to hold off till tommorrow!!
 
I can't believe it.

No, not cause for celebration.

Yesterday I had a bad-ish day. Not too bad at all, really. I just wasn't able to weigh my food as we were out ALLLLLL DAY and it was unavoidable. But I estimated and ate what was on my programme anyhow. I also did deviate and had HALF of a kiddy scoop of lemon sorbet.

This morning on my wii fit, I'm 1.1kg heavier. 1.1KILOS!!!! WHAT THE???? :svengo:


:banghead:

Today was difficult, being australia day. We went out for lunch with friends from USA that we haven't seen for years, and I had a long black. Then I came home and had my lunch. We went to an Australia Day bbq and I waited until 9.30 to have my dinner (yes, very late lunch!) and I ate no crackers or fruit all day. :(

Sad times. Haha, I spose my life is pretty good if this is what I consider tragic!

Thanks for all your ideas and support all the time, ladies. It's nice to vent. hehe. Happy Australia day!
 
Hi Joh,
I feel your pain -but in a couple of days that gain will be loss again.

Great to be Cohening together -hey, how much easier are those 66 stairs going to be now? (I did count them once and think that was the number!) I might get a set of digital scales to take in to school and we can keep an emergency store of Cohen friendly food somewhere - tuna, cheese, crackers and a bag of mixed salad veges and some fruit -but not apples as I figured out they are making me soooooooooo hungry now.

I weigh in tomorrow -that will be 3 weeks for me but better to do it before the rush starts at work and the marking starts to come in!

Have a lovely last day -see you tomorrow buddy.

Del xx:waving:
 
Hello there, buddy!

You are absolutely right... about everything! Hehe. I already lost 0.6kg today (Phew!) and am hoping for a little more tomorrow.

I have been a little worried about those stairs... you're in the office in N Block, though, right? Well hopefully those 6 flights will lead to bums of steel! Haha - that was always my plan, but I'm still waiting.

It's a great idea to have an emergency stash. I was thinking of always keeping some tuna and crackers in my drawer just in case, but having scales will be great. Do you guys have a fridge in your office? I've got the one in the Careers centre... which has a handy little kitchen too. I think I'll be spending less time in the staff room this year. Which is good and bad... but I need to avoid the biscuits and the milo! Apples definitely make me hungry. I've made a container of stewed apple with cinnamon to have with my yoghurt or as a snack, and for some readon that doesn't make me hungry...

I'm really excited about your weigh-in tomorrow - I've got mine too! WOW! My scheduled time is 2pm. You will feel so incredibly inspired when the ladies are so excited about your loss! You are doing so fantastically - zero deviations and all. Well done, buddy.

See you tomorrow for the 'morning tea' (ew).
xx
 
Hi Joh, I can really sympathise with you in regards to the deviation of the weekend. As slight as mine was, I gained a total 1.5kg. I am soooo pissed at myself.Good luck for your weigh in tommorrow!!
 
Thanks Joh,

Ha, my weigh in is at 2.30 so I might see you on your way out - maybe we should have a decaf long black at Garden City to celebrate our successes.

I had the same plans for those stairs a couple of years ago -huh -maybe it gives us more excuse to eat morning tea. I might use the career centre fridge too and I bought some scales from Ikea and some supplies so I'm all organised and ready to go. I like socialising in the staff room and no-one cares what you eat - too many jobs to do in the office.

WannaBSexee - don't stress (though I would too) it'll soon be gone and just tink of how we'll all look mmmmmmm.

See you in the morning Joh - wish I'd done more work on the holidays now.:ack2:

Hahaha Hohoho I lost 0.8kg this morning.

PHEW!!!

Looks like I'm back past the half way mark. I sure won't be making that little mistake again anytime soon...

I have my official Cohen's weigh-in today. It feel like it has been forever... We'll see how it goes.

Good on you girl!! :hurray:Now you are back on track, Im not far from it either!!
Im sure you are going to blow them away with your weigh in today!!! Good luck!

oh yeah I tried your baseless pizza thing for lunch yesterday, yummmmmo!!
 
Heya KC. Thanks for your congrats! I had my weigh in and my consultant was so happy with me - she says that I deserve a prize. hehe. She was astonished at the fact that I had lost 5.6kg in 22 days - WOAH! Imagine how much it could have been if I didn't stuff up!

Very happy with that, surprisingly. I've been guzzling water like a crazy to try and flush out all the badness that I ate on the weekend, and it looks like that's wrking pretty well for me.

I had a few people at work today tell me how great I'm looking - most havent seen me in 6 weeks. One man in particular, who is just lovely, was truly interested all about it and is now thinking of joining himself. I swear that Cohen's has become a bit of a pyramid scheme at our school! Haha. Isn't that right, Cuddlebones? ;)

Look forward to seeing how you guys all do this week. xx
 
Thats fantabulous, sweety!! What a weigh in!! Isnt it a great feeling when people around you notice all your hard work!!:party:
 
Joh, That's great news about your weigh-in & the compliments. You do look really good & well on the way to being fit & slim. Over 1/2 way is a great feeling & you are flying through it! It's great also that you have Del in the journey with you. I have no idea how many people have gone on Cohen's after seeing me lose my weight, but I can think of 6 straight up. It's such a good feeling to know that you can influence people in a good, positive way.
Tassie is a wonderful place to live. I loved Perth when I visited but it was way too hot for me. We moved here to bring up our kids when they were only 3 & 5.
Hope your school has excellent air conditioning & your car, house.....! Cheers, Cate.
 
I left my scales at work. And I have no idea what to do about it, because I know it is horrifically complex, what with alarms, etc.

Hence, I've been estimating all weekend, which just makes me so anxious (obviously not too anxious, or I'd be finding some way around it). I've been testing myself lately, though, as far as my estimation skills go, and I've been really accurate! So I know it hasn't been too bad... but I wonder how much damage it actually does when you are perhaps 5 grams out consistently. If anything, I think I've perhaps been eating too little.

I'm not going to be such an avid member on the forum now that school is back. I've been working my butt off all weekend!

x Thinking of you all and hope you're all succeeding! x
 
Just got back from a house-warming bbq at a friend's place.

I would have killed a small rodent to eat one of those crispy sausages and some of that chocolate bavarian... but I took my chicken strips, marinaded in balsamic and garlic, along with some mushrooms and asparagus (always good char-grilled) and some mango for dessert. That seemed to make everyone else jealous, which was a nice change!

Am proud of myself for not feeling like an outcast today. Yes, everyone else shared food etc, but I think that my friends have stopped questioning my behaviour and have just added it to my list of quirks. It's nice not to have to defend my eating habits all the time.

One of my friends there has lost 26 kg in the last 9 months. She says she has done it through personal training sessions and just by eating smaller portions. She is looking great! She has (this left me flabbergasted!) even enrolled at UWA to study sports science and nutrition! So proud of her.

Gotta run - need to sleep in preparation for all my kiddies tomorrow. Their first day back at school. Those little year 7s are going to be so teensy! This is our school's first year bringing the year 7s up to high school. Looking forward to seeing all those excited faces!

xxx Have a great week, everyone!

P.S. Sorry about my boring posts - all my creativity has been sucked up by work this weekend. :ack2:
