Yeah...expensive but the best thing I ever did...a great investment...lost 20kg in just over 3 months...some Health insurance companies give you some money back too!

Ellie: was it easy to stick to?

**Ellie** · July 31st, 2008, 03:45 PM

You just have to be organised. I shopped once a week and went straight home and weighed everything and put into little plastic lock bags so it was easy during the week. The first few days are tough but once you're over that you don't even feel hungry. DH supported me by cooking his own meals so all I had to worry about was me and not being 'tempted'. Maybe just go to the first session where they tell you all the info and then decide. I found the people really supportive and felt that I got good value for money. Good luck!

well i started the diet today. going really well so far. i think the only thing that is going to get me is the natural yoghurt it tastes like crap lol

**Ellie** · August 18th, 2008, 10:15 AM

Yeah for you!!! The yoghurt actually starts to taste better...believe it or not!!! Just hang in there and stick to it ...really stick to it for the first few days and then you'll be fine...I'm here to support you all the way...you go girl!!!

Fantastic! Gosh I remember how good that felt! You should be really proud of yourself...bet all your friends and family are blown away! Me...I'm now 2kg off the weight when I started at cohens...a bit depressing but hey...I'm pregnant so who's complaining...least I know what to do once bub's here. Keep me posted

**sassy123** · September 28th, 2008, 08:28 PM

**Visitor7** · September 28th, 2008, 08:46 PM

That's fantastic! I might look into this. I've lost 30kg since having Emily, but the last 15kg is going to be really hard to move I think.

**Ellie** · September 28th, 2008, 09:28 PM

YIPPEE!!! Your losing it and I'm gaining it lol!!! I'm not even game to weigh myself! Bet you're feeling a milion bucks...good on you!

**sassy123** · September 30th, 2008, 10:04 AM

**Visitor7** · September 30th, 2008, 02:30 PM

breastfeeding maybe?? I really have no idea. But now it's getting really hard to budge the rest.

I started Cohens in August last year. On the 28th September I had lost just over 20kgs and I found out I was pregnant so I had to stop. I have had a few stop starts since... but have just applied for my new program and I will be starting in 2 days time! I am sooooooo looking forward to shifting my weight for good.
Sassy... try your yogurt sweetened with a hermeseta tab mixed with some pureed mango (from your allowance)
There are cohen's forums too which are really helpful (if you've not found them already)
I am on there under the name of Jamanoha

Congrats on your weightloss to date... you must be feeling so proud of yourself! One thing I can say about Cohens is that it definitely works.
