Cohen's Lifestyle Anyone else here from South Africa?

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
Hi Guys

I guess we all are so busy with our own lives it is rather difficult to keep posting. But on a good note I have lost 40 kg in 5.5 calendar months...gotta be happy with that still need to lose more though about 10 - 15kg and truly wanted to achieve this before the summer holidays but my shape is good. I bought my first size 10 jean ever and I mean ever so I am hoping that by xmas
I will fit comfortably in a size 8 ...Gotta wait and see. I have also been doing
slimline sessions for flabbiness and it seems to be going very well the inches
are flying off me. I still believe that this is the most difficult thing I ever had to do for myself but it is paying off. I hope all of you are still blazing your guns.
Think about it we no why we are here in the first place and we have all the correct tools to make this work and if it fails it is because we failed ourselves...and that is so not worthit cos we already no what it feels like to not be happy with our body and have others ridicule us. It is our time to be slender, confident, happy and beautifull. You no the other day I saw an extended family member who was always slim and trim for her height. She once sent me a fax to my place of work with a picture of a women sitting on a chair with fat dripping off from her saying that I am a blob and that she is my worst nightmare....WELL!! Today SHE is the blob and I can confidently say
that she weighs about +/- 35 kilos more than me. She had the nerve to ask me what I did to lose this weight....and I said to her well I just got tired of being the blob guess you scooped up my excess fat... and I carried on walking my merry old way.....and this is one of the reasons I will not allow myself to fail after all I know what chocolate, cheesecake, pies, crisps...etc taste like so it really is no big deal after all it's not gonna dissappear off the face of the earth...It will still be there and moderation will be the order of every day...

Cheers

From gloomy Cape Town (supposed to be summer already but I guess the sunshine is waiting on me to lose a quick couple more kilos LOL!!)
 
Missy L, you're doing wonderfully!!!!! I am so excited about your weight loss :hurray: You're probably looking and feeling great, well worth all the sacrifices. Where do you go for your slimline sessions? I'd like to try it as well, at the moment I'm doing Powerplate which helps with toning and is not as vigorous as going to the gym. I too have 10kg still to lose and am praying I make it to refeeding. You're such an inspiration, please don't stop what you're doing. Tell me, how did you get through temptations or are you just mentally strong? Where are you situated?
 
Hi to fellow South Africans!

Hi All

Nice to see some South Africans on the site. I'm from Jhb and today is my 1st day on the diet!!

Must admit I've been so hungry today! However I have been good and followed it to the "T".

I wanna loose 25 kg and I have given myself 6 months!! This site is really inspirational! You guys have soooo well!:hurray:

Happy loosing and can't wait for the new, thinner me!
:waving:
 
Hi all. I'm a Joburger; so chuffed to see fellow S.Africans on the forum! Yay! I was told about Cohen's last yr, but it seemed DRASTIC (despite the unbelievable results ppl are getting). So I didn't act on it. I figured I didn't have the kind of life (married to a foodie, lots of socialising for work and other, lots of eating out and dinners at peoples' homes) that would accommodate Cohen. What do you guys think? Thanks...

TB- Cohen's is not easy but it all boils down to what you want & how much you want it. If you have a lot to lose I think it's the best program around. I will be forever grateful for hearing about it. Cohen's teaches you how to eat healthily & to maintain a healthy weight when you get to goal. It does require absolute commitment though for it to work. I rarely ate out in the 28 weeks it took me to lose 36kgs. When I did have to socialise I took my own food. It's only temporary. Everything will still be available when you finish.
My husband & I would probably say we are both foodies & we love good food & wine. We always have & always will. Now we are healthy, fit & very active foodies!
If you choose to do Cohen's we will all be here to support you TinyBird.
Cheers, Cate
 
TB: I think you should consider Cohen. I've only been on it for 3 days and I can already feel a difference. I am a total chocoholic and I only realised today that I havent had a craving for chocies yet - yipeee!:hurray:

However the 3 days have been tough - I won't lie. But Ive seen so many amazing people having amazing results on this diet. My best friend has lost 20kg in 4 months!!!

Also with a support group like this one you can NOT fail!

However we'll support you in whateva you decide!

Later!

Thanks, guys.

Appreciate the FB and support. Wow, Cate - 36kgs! Unbelievable. I know a coupla people who've had their lives changed by the programme, so perhaps I *should* try it... Mands, thanks for the encouragement. I'll let you guys know what happens...
