Chelle
 
Happy New Year to you, too, Chelle & congrat's on being in the 80's & for being deviation-free over Christmas/New Year. Take loads of credit for doing that. You deserve it! Pleased to see you back. I've been lonely without you. Well....lonely in this forum anyway. I didn't like Facebook much so have de-activated it already. Too many people wanting to "be my friend" (ha ha) whom I barely knew or thought I wanted to . "Talk" soon, Cate.
 
another quicky...

Thanks cate for your kind words again and all the support you offered last year... Az i was thinking of you on nye ...i hope you had a ball...

Thank you to everyone on the cohens site and the forum who posted and offered thier advice and opinions... I wish you all the very best and Good luck to you all..

Here is to the new year:beerchug: and the slimmer selves we will be...

Hope that made sense..

anyway another quicky...
i am trying the 3-2-1/2-3-1 meal order i have hit a plateau though i am honestly NOT worried, not at all, honestly because i know that this means i will shrink....I would love to shrink a lot... so all good on the chelle front...if only it could shrink the tummy rather then my legs and arms... I have lost a heap off my boobs and back my hips and tum still are wider then needed , so still have that cylinder look just with wobbly hips now...ha ha ha... ha ha ha .. I keep having my tea late so i thought yogurt was quick and easy and takes all of 2 minutes to organise.... anyway giving it a try... will let you all know if i find worth the effort...

Anyway i better go.. good to see some new posts.. so encouraging to watch those tickers go down on everyones postings...

Another quick note....My revenge clothing bag is now full of 20 plus clothing cant wait to pass it on to my in laws...ha ha ha... they can have some of their own fat clothes back......!!!! i shall be adding my 18 plus shorts soon as thay are slowing getting further down my hips... A big haa ha ha ha to cate re that...... not at the ankles just yet.....

I really must go the house is tooo quiet.... if you know what i mean...

You sound really cheerful Chelle. Good to see you back and to hear that you're shrinking, even if you have hit the old plateau. You know it will shift soon. That's the great thing about Cohen's- the confidence it gives you.
Now be careful about those daks-you never know! Tee hee, xo Cate
 
OH MY GOODNESS, CHELLE. LOOK AT YOUR TICKER!!!:hurray:
It has only been a couple of weeks that I have been locked out of the internet and you have melted away before my eyes.
You are doing so amazingly well and I'm sure you're well on the way to that burst balloon look that we're all aspiring to ...LOL.
I was having a good chucle at the shorts around your ankles and kids and shopping bags on each arm. What a sight...:smilielol5:
Anyway, it's so good to be back. I have not been good and deviation free over Christmas like you and now need to get myself back on track, but won't try till next week as I have both of my daughters birthdays this week so best if I get over those then focus for next week.
Well done and I'll "talk" soon

Take care

Still hungry...

i have been stressed and tired.. i have lots of pantry monsters beckoning me with their sweet aromas and sugary textures.. But i have been good and told them all to bugger off... i have family photos at the end of the month and i want to look tiny next to my SIL.... please please please..... So here i am posting and reading...

I did have one great moment in my day.. i went on a clothing safari at target and katies.. yes katies, not 16 26 (AKA fatty boombah store).. And i got myself into an 18... lots of them infact...dresses, skirts, tops and shorts.... not 18+..regular 18's.... It was a glorious moment i shared with kelista my 7 year old who wanted me to buy eveything... it was nice just to try them on.. the highlight was trying on some bathers.. i didnt look like i was expecting this time, just a little bit of a cylinder.... the only thing to big for the bathers were my boobs..ha ha ha..

Roll on feb 2nd cant wait for my kids to go back to school... They are starting to bug each other and me....


Well its time i logged off and did some house work..
I had a lovely dinner of chicken and stirfry veg... yum yum..
will post my stats tomorrow...

Thanks heaps everyone...

Wow, Chelle,
How fanstically well you are doing. Don't you just love shopping when you can fit into the clothes!! Your SIL must be getting very jealous was she the one who is a bit of a "B". If so show her up and make her regret any nasty words she said. When I completed Cohens the first time, I saved my tax refund all year until I was at my goal weight and then my 2 girls and I went out to DFO and did a huge shop for new clothes. I remember the first time I tried on a size 12 and they weren't even tight. It was amazing. I am looking forward to hearing that you were walking down the road and lost your shorts!!:blush5::blush5: Seriously though, you probably want to leave buying your bridesmaid dress till the last minute because, as you know, on Cohens your weight can alter dramatically in just a few weeks.
Sorry not much to say, my foggy head is starting to get the better of me and I feel like I'm rattling on.
Take care, keep up the good work

Hello Fifty2Drop and thanks for your enthusiasm and encouraging journal. I can't wait to be melting like you are.
I do remember the days when I couldn't wait for holidays to be over but mine a bit older now and I'm a teacher so it will be back to work. Can't wait to see the kids at school again though.
keep up the good loss and I'll join you on the ride down to gw. x
 
Hi Chelle,I'm just doing some catching up with everyone's diaries. I didn't realise I have been so slack. Sorry. Well done on the clothes front. I agree with CohenInAz about the bridesmaid dress. All of a sudden you'll drop a couple of sizes. When you do I'll hear you whooping all the way down here in Tassie, xo Cate
 
Chelle, you are doing so well!! Very inspiring to me, after been on here only a week, I have read so many inspiring stories. Keep up the hard week!
 
Hey Chelle well done on the progress! I cant wait to go shopping and fit into smaller sizes again like you :) It must have been such a high to get into smaller sizes! Keep it up! You need to donate those clothes to your SIL! hahaha!

I'm very petite at only 5ft tall and now a UK14 in bottoms and a UK12 in tops. I USED to be a UK10 in bottoms and UK8 in tops - which is really what I should be at this height!! I know my size doesnt sound that bad but I live in Singapore where everyone is teeny tiny XXS... so when I go shopping I actually cant fit into the largest sizes in most of the shops! Very depressing when XL is too small. It does nothing for my self esteem that I have to wear mumsy clothes from Marks & Spencers cos they are one of the only stores that have larger sizes here! OK I'm ranting... but just wanted you to know that I'm envious and inspired by your weight loss :)
 
Thanks guys... what nice posts...

Well i weighed myself this morning... Very pleased with myself.... ha ha ha think my plateau may have eased a bit... trying not to weigh too much.. and i dont want to tell hubby.. i want him to see a difference when he comes home... tough secret that one..:) well on track for wearing a dress to cirque du soleil on feb 1st..... yeha... Now Az sorry you probably know this by now but saw a post i missed.. a cistern is the flushing part of the toilet... ha ha.. i ended up fixing it to the wall myself.. ha ha ha.. But gee girl you look great... abosloutley gorgeous...

Wandabees: oh you poor thing... Can you order over the net? That has got to be hard........ That weight and those inches are just going to melt away... I think one of the hardest things with cohens is patience... ha ha ha.. especially as i have none...:)...

anyway marching starts again today so i better go and get ready.. late breakfast today...

Thanks all for the nice words and taking the time to read my dribble..:)..

Be good.... Be cohens....

Oh "The Ting Tings" are on.. i love them.. better go...have a good day all..
 
Hi Chelle- "The Ting Tings"?? Kids show? The jingles in kids shows stay in my head for days which can be embarassing when you realise you're singing them out loud. Still hanging on to those daks I hope! You're doing so well you tease- c'mon how many kgs down? You can tell us-we'll keep your secret-tee hee! Good for you Chelle , xo Cate.
 
hahaha Cate I know what you mean about the kid show jingles sticking in your mind. No, The Ting Tings are a british band!! I love them also, very boppy music!!
 
I'll have to have a listen. Showing my age now.....whoops. Oh well! LOL at myself, Cate
 
Another funny by cate.. ha ha ha

Anyway i seem to have misplaced my stats.. so hopefully after cleaning today i will have found them....wish me luck...

Anyway.. Nothing exciting happening in the world of chelle.. i have inflicted pain upon myself by grounding the children to their rooms... but by hook or by crook they will learn that its not a treat and start doing things like washing dishes, picking up ones mess/clothing.. Cleaning their rooms...ha ha ha ha.. i am optimistic...or insane.... I have decided which...

i have to clean the bedroom.. i sorted out the walkin robe yesterday and discovered the kids shower on the otherside of the wall was leaking in... so i had to silcon up the grout.. it was cracked and the water has been seeping through..arghhhhhh....

Anyway i am the sort of person who seem to make a mess to make it cleaner... does that make sense.. when im finished it looks great but catch me mid stride and its a disaster....so i have a bit to do....ha ha ha
good thing kels not home...he would have shot me.. so on that note i better bugger off and finish .. i have company this afternoon so i better pull my finger out...


I hope every one is doing well on their programs and will post again this afternoon.. i hope..

Hi all Sorry be warned Chelle’s a little stressed…
:banghead:!!!Rant!!! Beware!!!:banghead:
Well yesterday was very interesting… I took the Captiva into to get its wheels aligned, thinking that I may need a new set of front tyres…What an understatement….
I find out my tyres are bald there was a factory fault that has caused my tyres to wear unevenly..
I get a copy of the paperwork that I have been shown at the tyre shop and go to Holden.. They confirm it and add that it has also been found to happen in the rear tyres.. And yep you guessed it.. It has.. Arghhh.. So Holden will fix the fault but not replace my tyres so we are looking at a minimum of $1400.00 (fingers crossed) for four new tyres on a car that is not yet 18 months old…..
I had lots of pantry monsters in the house and really wanted my old friend to visit, I was so stressed and upset.. But today is another day and the shock has worn off.. Hubby still (touch wood and thank the lord and angels) has employment and the money is in the bank… I just cant drive the car until next week, Holden will have the car Tuesday and maybe Wednesday then to the tyre shop Thursday ….argh….
Holden never contacted Captiva owners to notify them to be on the look out… Why? Because it doesn’t happen to all Captiva’s….. Arghhh!!!!!!! They also claim that it wasn’t detected at our 12months service “Things that make you go HMMMM!!!!!!!”

Anyway.. On a lighter note I found my stats and have posted them…( scrap that ...lost'em forgot to cut and paste...arghh will write and post again asap.....) I have just over a week until my 12 week appointment.. Fingers crossed.. I haven’t deviated since November… I have upped my water but not terribly sure if it has made much difference and the kids will be back at school soon so the sleeping will go back to normal too…. My next appointment is in the morning so it will be interesting how I weigh, I am always heavier in the afternoon sometimes by as much as 2kg, last appointment was just an hour after lunch….L .. I had forgotten and had a late lunch that day…. So my weigh in was not terribly good…
I am having fun catching up with the posts on the forum… and Cate I still cant rep you….ha ha ha so on a rep challenge…
Anyway I better log off my new hobby obsessive housework is beckoning…
Thanks for listening…
