TAFFY - Hey your not anal - I have a sreadsheet too. It is really motivating -keep up the good work.

I have just found out my son is partnering a girl in a deb on the 20th April. Big motivation to be finished by then. The mums have to dance with their sons for one dance. Hate being in the limelight, but am a little excited about it all. Lose,lose, lose.

Well I did it, I reached my 80KG goal as of this morning... I am so happy! Cohens is a lot of hard work and effort , but it is really worth the result!

So to celebrate my achievement I ate 2 family sized "Meat Lovers" pizza's and a drank bottle of red wine...and that was just for breakfast (Just a little diet forum joke)

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Great news. Well done for hanging in there over the past few weeks.
So, did you start refeed today?
and when are we going to get those before and after photos!!?
HL

Well done Less Fatty that is definatley a great achievement. You should be very proud of yourself!!! Keep up the good work.

On a different note, you wont believe it (maybe u will) My bathroom flooded last night and my scales where in there and guess what They are now dead, kaput, busted absolutely no good I was devasted too start with coz i weigh everyday LOL but now I am thinking that I dont see my consultant for 4 weeks so I will get a huge surprise when I go see her.
Oh yea last week I wanted to buy some thing comfy for around the house or even casual to go out with, well I tried on a size 16 and then thought HEY why dont u try a 14 so I did and OMG I fitted comfortably in a 14 I was so excited i sent a pic to all my family with me wearing what I had bought LOL.
ANyway 20 kilos to go and I cant wait to get there but I suppose I will have to be patient wont I.
I hope everyone is going great, if you are not then refocus because it will be sooo worht it at the end.
Good luck to all.

lessfatty CONGRATULATIONS!

Cant wait to hear how you do on refeed. Hopefully I won't be too far behind you (in getting to my goal)

Hi all how we going???

Less fatty - is 80 your goal weight from cohen or just a goal for yourself?? either way you have done great. good on you.

well i had my first weigh in. i lost 8kg. pretty happy with taht. i found i didnt lose much at all in the last week. is this normal???

anyhow. great to get into the second month. so hope i have similar results this month. it is my birthday in 2 weeks so my mini goal is to be in the 70's. havent done that in over 6 years!!

anyway. lose on friends!!

Tanya

Hey Fatty: Good work losing 8kgs. Have you been weighing everday or was it a complete suprise? Is the initial month a higher loss month than the next or can u expect to see a similar result?
Wewll done Less Fatty, I have read your diary and you have struggled in the last few weeks but I am so impressed. I have never got to my goal weight in whatever diet I have been on. I am determined this time though!!

Nonna: I was eating salmon steaks for awhile it was a nice mistake
As for the poo pellets my Obst who wouldnt let me get constipated told me to eat a thinly sliced kiwi fruit with the skin on every day ( just one slice with the skin) It works

Heyfatty

Congrats on your 8 kgs -

I have pretty much lost the same each month, including the first month - I have just clicked over 15 weeks and I average 1.4 kgs a week so by that I should have 7 weeks to go,,,,,,,,,

Its my birthday on the weekend - does anyone know how to make a cracker cake????

Cheers

Oh dear I have fallen off the wagon....well actually I fell off 2 months ago and although i eat my cohens meals ill eat a tonne of crap too - im so sad at myself...i was actually down to 68kg at one stage, but now im at 76kg.....ive put on 8kg....every day i keep telling mysel ill do it and everyday i end up stuffing up and crying and getting sad at myself....im really struggling at the moment - i need to get back to the place i was at when i first started and was soooo motivated i did not deviate once for 3 months

feeling like a failure and a frump

Hi Pink Sultana, I have fallen off the wagon also during the chinese new year period... i have gain weight in this period also.. Dun blame yourself too much.. move on... look forward... I am already going through this week without deviation... i am sure you would be able to....

No my Dr Cohen goal weight was 90KG, I still felt overweight at that mark so I decided to drop to 80KG. Now I am at 79.9KG

What can one say? the problem is in yourself, the solution is in yourself, you did it before you can do it again, you have to get yourself back to the place you were 3 months ago, in the Cohen "Groove".

Do you have a plan for each and every meal, do you have foods in the fridge ready? Do you have some fully cooked meals in the freezer for emergencies?

What about tomorrow do you have a plan for what you are eating tomorrow?

Are you feeling "deprived" by the diet, stopping you eating what you deserve to eat? Are you eating because you feel bad and it calms you down? Are you just starving hungry and cannot take it a moment longer? Are you scared of being slim, trim and dare I say sexy (again)?

PINK SULTANA: DO YOU REMEMBER WRITING THIS?

woohoo im over the half way line....I really really really never thought I would actually be doing this, I thought this would be another failure but hard work does pay off.

I HAVE JUST BEEN READING THE THREAD FROM THE START AND THIS IS WHAT YOU HAD WRITTEN. yOU HAVE WORKED SOOO HARD DON'T GIVE UP NOW!! THIS IS ONLY MY SECOND WEEK AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IT SEEMS A LONG WAY OFF, BUT YOU MUST KEEP GOING. ITS HARD TO IMAGINE THAT I WILL EVER FIT INTO MY LEVI'S BUT I HAVE COME THIS FAR NEVER TO RETURN... BEST OF LUCK

Hello everyone

Am very excited today as I wore my new size 10 jeans - so much happier than almost outgrowing 14's

Have a good day

Sharon
