Hi Ange

I myself have lost 15kg in a little under a month so am extremely happy with that. In regards to the financial outlay, I too found it a little prohibitive but Cohens do offer a payment plan and through that I only need to pay about $40 per fortnight. It comes directly out of my bank account, maybe that could be an option you could investigate.

I hope we get to see you on here in the near future telling us about your amazing results

hi everyone.

Does any one track their measurements? I didn't until cohen's rang and he said that it is a better way to keep track of your weight loss. So I went to the gym (finally) and got my measurements that were taken when I started, and I was 3kg lighter than when I started cohens, I had a total loss of 65.5 cm from my whole body!!! It was so good. Now I'm going to do it every week.

Hope everyone stays strong. Just remember this is just for a time!

Have a great week

Hi all - my weigh in is tomorrow - fingers crossed!

I track all my measurements weekly and I use a website that is great -http://www.extrapounds.com

It has weight logs, trackers, graphs for cm weight loss!! Its good.

I also have PCOS - I've been on the program for about 7-8 weeks now. The periods don't seem to have become regular yet, but I'm waiting to see. Hoping to see an improvement in mood, hair, skin etc. I figure I need to lose a little more than I have to start seeing improvements though. I must say, I'm not looking to get pregnant at this point though!!

Have a good evening everyone!

Reload72 *SLAP* Just joking! Dun keep thinking about falling off the wagon. Focus on future and be stricter to yourself. Think about the $$$$ you spent!!!!! and all the beautiful clothes you can wear when you lost the weight.

Hi there!

Just in response to some of the queries about stats about people keeping their weight off!

My consultant said that as long as people do their refeed properly, nearly all have maintained their weight. She said that 20% of her clients don't complete the program, and deviate majorly and they end up failing and regaining all their weight and more, but for the people who stick to it 100% and lose the weight, they don' t tend to put the weight back on.

Also, because you are given the tools to lose the weight again if you do put on a few kilos you can lose it quickly. The key is to act quickly.

I have found it really easy to lose the weight I put back on when on holidays, just by cutting out carbs for a few days. I can put on 3 kgs in a week but can lose it in a few days!

It is encouraging to know that I can go back on the program again as well if I need to.

It is interesting that there seems to be no detractors for Cohens or TLC program (I did the TLC program, very similar). Perhaps it is because it is not well publicised, or perhaps so many people have good results that there are no complaints. Not sure that there has been that much media coverage of it.

Or perhaps there is some stuff out there bagging it, we just have not found it yet!

All very interesting though!

I keep checking the posts because I think I am a bit addicted to it! And also I have found it a useful way to keep inspired to stay on the straight and narrow. Also interested to see how you guys are going, and see your progress.

Also, the Life After Cohens thread has died a bit of a death, noone is really posting on there.

And I just enjoy checking the posts and stuff.

Anyway, well done all of you, I know how hard all of this is. I have been through it all!

Stay strong!

Kathy

Hi there guys, thanks for the response, looks like i may join up, sounds like u actually eat more than on the sureslim program, and you are allowed Sprite Zero!!!, my favourite, love it!!, and u can have something between meals!!, that was a HUGE no no on my old program, which just did my head in!! sounds a million times better! and alot more doable!, im used to weighing food (eg chicken and vegies, yoghurt etc) and have become very organised in that department, I preweighed all my chicken to exactly 130g and vegies all in sep little containers for the week, so very organised, program sounds great!, wish id come across this before i gave my money to sureslim, oh well live and learn!, thanks again for the replies, helped alot with decision. regards Ange xo

Hi everyone. Just popping in to say my computer probs have been resolved and I am still on track with no deviations. I am getting to close to having less than 10kg to lose and thats quite a landmark, so am looking forward to that , perhaps by end of next week.
It seems everyone is doing well and I say to those who are wondering about the program. DO IT! You won't regret it.

Its sooooooooooo good to hear all the fantastic results everyone is having. I am starting next week. I have just over 40kg to loose and it scares the critters out me that its going to take me a long time to so this. But I am gunna give it a go. Cant wait until I can walk past a shop window without freaking out that I look like a swollen bush pig lol. I will put my weight tracker up as soon as i figure out how to do it, (Not working for me lol)

Anyway all the best everyone and here,s to the new us

Well, I'm starting next week too.

Blood test tomorrow. Should have the programme next tuesday. But I won't start till Wednesday as I have a function Tuesday night and I'll make it my last hurrah.

I have 85kg to lose, trust me, it seems daunting.

But then so is death. And that's where I'm headed if I don't take some of this pressure off my system.

That's the stark reality of it.

We'll do it together, eh?

Hi Everyone,

Just found this forum tonight, while doing a bit of research about Cohen's on the internet.
I started Cohen's earlier this month (3 weeks ago) at 118.5kg, and I'm down to 111.3kg as of today.

I received a letter in the mail yesterday advising me that the clinic that I signed up at is closing at the end of this month. I go to the Joondalup clinic in WA. Well, I'm shocked to say the least - I haven't even had my first weigh in!! I noticed some pages back in this thread that the same thing has happened in Melbourne. The stories seem very similar. What is going on?

The letter said that the Booragoon clinic will be looking after us from now on, but does that mean that we will receive the same treatment from them? ie weigh in's etc etc. I'm quite concerned that I've spent $680 on a one year contract and three weeks into it the clinic closes, I can't get my money back (I assume) and I'm told that another clinic (which obviously hasn't received money from me or anyone else previously at the Joondalup clinic) is now going to look after us????

Hi all,
This is my first post on this forum, so let me just say first off that I'm sooooooo happy to have found this forum . I was really surprised that the Cohen's Web site didn't have a forum available for clients to gain info and support from other people on the program . It seems an almost essential tool for anyone out there struggling with losing weight. The amount of support and encouragement that you all provide to each other is fantastic!
I started Cohen's in March this year and I am constantly amazed at how well it is working for me. So far I have lost almost 30kg! I find that the buzz I get from knowing that I'm on the way to a new me is enough for me to stick to the program 100%. I have not deviated once...however, I must admit that I have 'slipped-up' twice. In my first month I had an extra crispbread completely by accident one day and on another I was having fish for dinner and squeezed lemon juice on it - only to remember later that I had already had my 2 pieces of fruit for the day . I now write down every single thing I eat or drink (excluding water) so that I don't make the same mistake again!
Anyway, essentially I just wanted to say hello to you all, introduce myself, and congratulate you all on your valiant efforts to become healthier people. Even to those of you who are thinking about starting the program, or are about to start...just having the thought there in your mind is a great first step! Keep it up!

P.S. I absolutely love these ticker thingos, but how do you get them to show up in your messages? I keep getting an upload error message .

Hey Jody,

I'm only new too, but welcome anyway!

Go into your USER CP, then click on EDIT SIGNATURE (on the top left section) then you'll see a little yellow box, directly above where you type stuff in. The box looks like it's got a little mountain in it. if you hover the mouse over it, it'll say 'insert image'.

Then a box will come up saying 'insert url of image'. Cut the line you put into your post (the one that comes up as a link) into this box and hit 'ok'.

Now you can preview your signature and the actual ticker should show up.

PM me if you have trouble.

Something really amazing happened tonight. My dad has a small windfall today and he bought Kentucky Fried Chickens to celebrate. ITS MY FAVOURITE FOOD. But funny enough, I don't feel the urge to eat it. I sat beside my brother (I told him to eat my share) and enjoy the smell. I guess my blood sugar must be really in balance and that's why I totally dun feel the urge to eat it. Even my mum was amazed.
