Hey ya. Im Dee. I am from Darwin NT. ALthough i wld love to be back in SA. Cant pick and chose unfort as an army wife!!! Anyway, initially i started out at 97-98kg, lost 30kg and got to 68kg. Unfort since being here, iv shot back up to like 75-76 and was 80kg last wk- its more of a fluid thing for me- change of humidity!!! But taking fluid tablets gets me back to 76 or so. So my start weight was 80kg, down to 76 at the mo and my aim is like 65kg. So not alot to lose. Then i will reassess where i go from there- maybe to 60. My program says ideal weight is 62 so will see how we go!! Fingers crossed its all done in a few mths- i lost the 30kg in 4mths last time- all healthy and medically revised. So i am eagar to get it all off, and then i can look at the tummy tuck option!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha. Hope all are going well.......
Wowsers Wishes what an impressive weight loss.. you look AMAZING girl!!! What an inspiration you are!
I am just starting on this journey, I have been on a reduced eating plan (sort of home made plan, heavily inspired by the weight watchers model) for about a week now, unfortunately I have no idea what I weighed to begin with, as my scales were up the whack! I just weighed myself today, and was horrified!!! I know I have lost this week, which just makes it even scarier!
In the past I have tried no Carb (arghghghghg turns me into a Bitchmeister from Heeeeeeeeeelllllllllll) and Jenny Craig (disgusting fake food, and too expensive), Scarsdale (works well, but very hard work) to no avail, I have come to the conclusion the only thing that is going to work is portion control, sensible eating, and increase the exercise!
I do eat well anyway, never eat junk, but I just eat too much!!!! The focus now is on low fat, low carb (high fibre complex carbs only), and mostly veggies! I also tend to like the drinkie poos (just wine) and have been known to overindulge there, so that has been virtually cut out (only a few glasses once a week) I am kinda viewing this as a very long term/forever thing, rather than a diet, which is totally a new mindset for me, in the past I have always wanted quick results, which doesn't work for me, it is all back on in a pretty short time, the only thing that had long term results was Scarsdale, but geeeeze louise it was hard!
Nathan from Sydney here. I'm 84kg, aiming for 70kg. I managed to get to 78kg last year but have shot up again since. Just trying to find time to exercise!
Hi all. Im starting my Cohens plan again in morning- all stocked up!! I kinda just hit a 3-4day low and fall off wagon but i have 4wks til surgery (knee recon) and want about hmm say 7kg off before then. I just think it will be better for my health and also carrying less weight around on crutches!!! Anyway, i guess i should get to bed and then i can start a fresh!! I just dont wanna be FAT forever- im about 77-8kg now. My starting weight was 98kg!!!!!!! I got to 68 but have gained about 8-10kg- since my fiance went into the army and then we were posted interstate. I rarely eat but when i do- its like it goes straight to my hips!! Hahaha. I know i have to eat regularly to lose weight etc etc. I do get it. I just have to be very disciplined!!!!!! Cohens is restrictive- but it works so here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
