Rep Power: 0 | | Thanks Cate, for your encouragement and words of wisdom.. Of course, I know the weight loss has to slow but wouldn't it be magnificent if we could lose 10kg/month until goal!
I love your diary because of your honesty and dedication to Cohens, I find this inspiring. Take care, Trudy |

Rep Power: 0 | | Hi Everyone
I notice that no one has posted for a while on here. Hopefully there are still people out there doing Cohens.
I am starting it again for the second time around. I lost 16kgs in about 12 weeks last time and then fell off the wagon. I am back for round two and my goal is to be off in time for Christmas.
I started a week ago tomorrow so I will know how much weight I have lost by then. I am aiming for 2kgs per week. I know that is optimistic but hopefully I will be able to do it.
Anyways looking forward to meeting everyone and going through this journey with you.

Rep Power: 59 | | | Hi Maree & welcome to the forum. My first 4 weeks I lost 10kgs & then it was either 4 or 5kgs every 4 weeks until I lost 36kgs. It took 28 weeks. Everyone's different of course but just thought it might help, cheers, Cate |

Rep Power: 59 | | | Inn, I'm 55 & do not have saggy skin even though I lost 36kgs. I think keeping the water up is one of the important things with the program that really does help with skin elasticity. I am really happy with the results & it seems to amaze others who comment all the time how healthy I look. Cheers, Cate |

Rep Power: 0 | | | Is anyone using this thread? I have just started Cohens (again) & looking for support please! I know it works wonders but I didn't do the refeed 2 years ago, silly me! So I gotta do it all again! |

Rep Power: 0 | | Hi Cate
Thanks for that, I would be stoked to loose 10kg in the first month, I need to see results quickly in order to keep me going.
I am hoping to be off this thing in time for Christmas.
I am following the diet that I had last time I have already lost about 2kg I started a week ago.
But I never got my refeed last time. I know that the refeed is important, but I am not going back to old habits.
What is everyone's opinion, shall I spend another $700 and go through the clinic again and get the refeed?
Thanks

Rep Power: 9 | | Hey Maree... You might get a lot of different answers... but for what its worth... I totally think REFEED is perhaps THE MOST IMPORTANT part of the program... and so if you didnt get it the first time, it is totally worth it to pay for it again. I think you ...possibly... set yourself up to fail if you dont see it through properly.
I did refeed early in May so that I could go on a long-planned holiday and came back to get back on the program to lose the last little bit that I had not lost before. I will do refeed all over again because I really do see that the Stabilisation of my hormones and body is Vital to the whole process and my long term success.
With all the weight I have lost (I was 141kgs at my heaviest)... I would have probably paid 3 times the amount knowing what I do now and still consider it cheap!
Goodluck on whatever you decide!
Blessya

Rep Power: 0 | | | Hey Kannadew
I have been thinking about it and I will go in for the whole thing again and then complete the refeed. I think if I am going to do this I may as well do it properly.
Has anyone else out there had about 40kg's to loose and if so how long did it take them? I am estimating about 6 months. |

Rep Power: 9 | | | Hey TT... I really think you have made a great choice! You may find that your new program is quite different to your old one. I have known a few now who have had a 2nd program and its been very different and they have been very happy with the results.
I had over 55kgs to lose and predicted that it would take me about 8-9months to lose. As this is what 'seemed' normal for others... however I found that one of my medical conditions had a big impact on my rate of loss and so its taken me 12 months to lose that 50...with still 5+ to go. However, I think you find that Cate lost something like 36kgs in about 6 months... so it certainly is do-able! Good luck!
Mum 2-3
Congrats on making a GREAT decision! BEST ONE EVER! I have "bumped" the "preparing for Cohens" thread for you so that you can start making changes even before your program arrives! Dont forget to start a diary and keep us updated!
