Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say a quick 'hello' before I head off to bed on the eve of my 1st Dr Cohen day!

I start tomorrow morning and am very excited at the prospect of losing these unwanted, excess fat cells

I also look forward to making some new cyber-friends and sharing in your joys and triumphs.

Just a quick question before I get started here... I am somewhat technologically challenged so could someone please explain to me how I can get a ticker going? I (very proudly) managed to design it but when I copy & paste it into my signature it comes out as gobbly goo? Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure how you've done the ticker, but paste it into the main body of the signature area, rather than the bit down the bottom where it looks like code should go.

Did you design it in tickerfactory.com? If you didn't, you may need to treat it as an attachment - a picture. If it's a tickerfactory.com one, then you definitely paste the string of bb text into the main big square of the signature panel, and not into the code section below.

Welcome, and hang tough during the first week. The first few days you'll probably find your body increasingly objecting to the changed diet etc, but if you get through 5 days, you'll be fine. After 2 weeks I find I'm starting to feel a lot better, and after 4 fantastic!

As the weight sheds, you start feeling great because your body has less to carry around - the old tiredness from overweight lifts, mood elevates etc. It's great!

Get lots of rest the first week - don't overdo it, don't plan anything "big", and take food out with you everywhere you go. A few crackers and an apple in your bag will get you through most occasions until you can make a meal for yourself. Drink lots, and you'll soon see things start happening.

Hi RubyRose

Welcome to the forum! Its great to see another fellow South african!
Congratulation! You decided to do the best diet ever! LOL! Thats how I feel and I can tell you many of us feel that way!

Looking forward to reading your posts so keep us up tp date!

Good luck for the first couple of days! Just hang in there its 100% worth it!
Its tough in the begining but then becomes easier! I promise!

Have a great day!

Welcome Rubyrose to our little part of the cyber world. Congratulations on making the decision to do Cohen's. You won't regret it. You are in excellent company with the SA girls. They're fun & supportive. Share some of your story when & if you feel like it. You'll get the support you need in here. We try to give as much as we get. Cheers for now, Cate

Hi RubyRose!!

Welcome to our little Cohen's groupie! Wow, and you're also a South African hehe

Cohen's is the best choice you could've made in terms of a diet. It's easy (I kid you not!) after the first week and it just gets better. My fellow dietbuddies have lost tons of weight already and I'm you are next! (I'm still waiting for my first weigh-in)

The big secret is just to stick to it 100%, lots of rest, and lots of water.
Starfish also gave some great advice

It does get better, stick to it and good luck! We're all here to support you

Hope you have a stunning day!

Greetings, Luvbug

Hello there!

I'm not on Cohen's (on Weigh-Less) but I am a fellow South African and health conscious buddy

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks everyone for the messages.

The first few days have been absolutely AWFUL!!! It's a lot better now but I very nearly didn't make it.

I will write again soon when I have more time.
