Hey Sassy
Still waiting for my program to arrive I got the recipe book but no program. I am a bit bummed because I wanted to start yesterday. Oh well. And being that it is a long weekend here this weekend, it looks like I won't be starting until next wednesday at the earliest anyway!
How are you going? You must look and feel like a different person!
lisa: that is weird that u got the cook book seperate. mind came int eh back of my program folder.
Well i am waiting for my re feed to turn up wooo hoooo. im a few kgs b4 i should start it but i have been super hungry and feeling really sick so it is time for my refeed.
OMG Sassy... refeed! You must be so excited!
How long in total has it taken you to lose the kg's?
My program arrived yesterday, and after a sleep in this morning, I have decided to start first thing tomorrow morning... so today & tonight I am going to be weighing & packing.
Thanks Nikki.
I have decided to start first thing monday morning... it should be easier because then my kids are back at school and my DH's bday will be out of the way then.
I'm sooooooo excited about starting!
hey lisa.
just thought i would pop in and see hwo everything is going and say good luck.
i started my re feed on friday. omg so much food already it is quiet overwhelming really lol.
hope ur journey goes well and i am always here if u wanna chat
there is also a forum for it pm me if u want it. it helped me lots. i cant remembver if u said u were on it.
HI Sassy,
Yep, I'm on the forums under the name Jamanoha.
I started today and so far so good... not looking forward to the next few days, but I know I can get through it fine.
Hey Lulu,
I'm going great! I love it!!!
As of today (4 weeks in) I am down 10kgs and 59cms!
I feel fantastic... and I am looking forward to seeing how I look at Xmas time.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me anytime.
Am still thinking about it. I sooooooooo don't want to be negative...but have been doing a lot of research and so many people seem to put the weight back on pretty quickly.
On the other hand I know someone that dropped 30kg and she has put on about 6kg and is fighting hard now to lose it and get ontop of it straight away.
Are you used to it now? Do you have a lot to lose?
Hey guys,
Just hoping I can join this thread.
Wow it sounds as though Cohens really works......
I am trying to loose 17 kgs but am currently going through IUI.
I went in to join Jenny Craig but was told once I fall Pregnant( hopefully I am now) i can no longer do it.
Is that the same for Cohens????
Gizzmo,
As Sassy mentioned, you can't do it if you're pregnant, but you shouldn't diet whilst pregnant anyway. I have read studies into ADHD and one of the factors have been weight loss during pregnancy (which is scary stuff)
I personally wouldn't risk it. I carried my youngest with way too much weight on, and besides the aches & pains, both of us were very healthy.
I actually started Cohen's in Aug 07, but had to stop due to pregnancy, then I miscarried, and have re started again now.
Lulu - Yep a lot of people will put weight back on after Cohens... but it is no more so than those who put the weight on after most diets. The thing with Cohen's is that you are making changes for the rest of your life, not just for the duration of your diet. A friend of mine lost close to 90kgs in a little over 6 months on Cohens, that was over a year ago and he hasn't put his weight back on. The thing is, you will have fluctuations but know what to do to control it in the end. I have a lot to lose, and I know that once I go to goal, past re feed and onto maintenance, I will be like that for life... but anything I do gain will be easier to lose than the great amount I have to lose now.
Check out the New You forums when you can... there are many inspirational people on there, many more experienced people too who could answer your questions too. I am on there under the name Jamanoha.
I weighed myself last monday, 5 weeks in and I have now lost 14.1kgs.
My husband came up to me today and said "Wow sweetie, you can really tell you've lost weight" which was amazing and had put the BIGGEST smile on my face... I love that he said it without me prompting him (honey... do you think I've lost weight????? lol)
Definitely check out the forums Lulu... there are so many amazing people on there.
I hope to see you around sometime
That is outstanding....brilliant work chickadee....
You should be so proud of yourself...keep it up honey-pie and I very much look forward to your updates.
I am going away for 2 weeks and will have a good think about it all. I have been doing my own thing for the last couple of mths and doing pretty well. Last few weeks doing Optifast for breakfast and lunch with a light dinner and weight going slowly.
Keep it up Lisa...you're gonna be such a yummy mummy!!
Thanks Lulu
I am going to a concert in March next year, and I have an outfit I want to wear by then... but I am also going to see Pink in July, and I am hoping to be done with it all by then. Mind you, I have a LOT of weight to lose so I might not quite be there by then, but hopefully willpower & determination aslo help with the weight loss
Enjoy your 2 weeks away!
