Fantastic! Congrat's on reaching the 80's!!
Now about those Ting Tings.......
I didn't know they sang that catchy, catchy tune "That's not my name". Whenever I hear that it's in my head for days. You can't keep still when it's on!
Looking forward to being back in the shrinking club with you, cheers, Cate.
 
Hi Chelle,
Just looking at your stats -wow, you have done so well and you are inspiring me! I hope I do as well in 10 weeks! Good on you and thanks for being so positive.
I started several weeks after 4 friends from work started and even though I've already lost over 8kgs it seems like nothing compared to them -had to shake myself out of wishing I'd started earlier etc and tell myself that my time is now.
Keep on being 100% Chelle!
love Del x :Angel_anim:
 
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted on here before I don't think although I hav chatted to Chelle so sorry to be so vauge.

Hi Jay!!
Welcome to the forum!!Im kc, I too am doing the cohens for a second time but did not reach my goal weight the previous attempt. I started again on the 5th of Jan and am aiming to lose 34.8kg. So I know how frightening that figure seems but I have lost nearly 8kg already and still trying to go strong and finding it so much easier after finding this forum!!
You can check out my blog in the weight loss diary thread!
See you around!

a quick coooeee.....

Justa quicky.. hubby due to fly out tomorrow so will make this very short..

Hello everyone,
trying to catch up with the posts since i have been absent over the weekend... so many.. thanks to everyone for visiting me too...

I will post in the morning.. i promise ...

Jay2 great to hear from you again, I try to keep a piece of fruit for mid afternoon, or some fizzy drink it seems to give me the boost i need.. Though today has been a hungry day and i keep telling myself if iam going to deviate i want everything.. ha ha ha, my list is so long im exhausted just thinking it...i mean if i deviate i want it to be worth it..:) i also log onto the forum when things are hard and read and post.. i look some fat photos and remind myself to have some more water.... Try setting some small goals , I have finally reached one of my original goals of buying an 18 dress (regular) .. i must admit i felt half naked when i went out yesterday, but i felt bloody brilliant knowing i went to a regular shop and got a dress off the hanger....join the deviation thread with us.. little steps... be kind to yourself and be good.. We can do it and we will do it... Together..

sorry to rush love to all and will post to everyone in the morning.. Thanks again and keep it up...

Chelle you and I re-started on the same day but because I have been deviating so much, you have lost so much more. This thread has helped to put in a 3 day goal in place. I must say yesterday was not successful but I am back on the saddle today. So my 2nd 3 days has started.

kc and jay2, we can all do this and this time to the other side of thin.

Cheers.
 
Hi Chelle, You are so close to half way sweetie. That will feel really good. Keep up the good work, sending some love right back to you, xo Cate.
 
Chelles chat about her clothes... ha ha ha

Well... i never have been crash hot with time keeping its now evening...ha ha ha ....

I have decided that from now on i shall only post my afternoon weight...but i will still weigh myself in the morning occassionally... My cohens weight is always heavier because it is usually a pm appointment... so this way i am safe.. and this way i dont feel like im lying...:)

Cate: it is so frustrating i weighed 84.3kg this morning.... but my new resolution is not to get excited until it reads that weight in the afternoon...arghh......

At the school today i had loads of compliments.. "Michelle you are melting away.. your tummy is so small.(no it isn't..) .. my god where have you gone.. what are you doing... dont tell us its only a couple of kilo's"... Anyway i divulged my secret weapon for those who didnt know.. I am so glad i did not give in over the last couple of days to temptation my old friend and bad tennant... if i had it would have made me feel awfully guilty...:)

Anyway my SIL was over the other day after we all had a family shoot at pixie photo's:
I had raced around the shop and found a cute little above the knee (just) dress and anyway yakkity yak... I was preparing my late lunch when out of the blue she asked.." So hows your diet going.. Is it working?" thankgod the bench was in the way otherwise my jaw would of hit the floor.... i calmly and cooly replied my total weightloss thus far and continued making my lunch.. although in my mind i was saying are you blind.. dumb dumb.. For G's sake i am in an 18 dress..A bloody dress...argh!!!

Okay now thats out of the way... Drallion was amazing and i am so glad i had dropped 25 kg the seats were tightly packed my previous fatty boombah self would have been tooooooo BIG... I wore my Bridesmaid shoes and my feet failed to feel like i was crushing the bones to dust... i succeeded in wearing 2 inch heals with no aches and pains.. i only took them off when i was driving home.... :)

My rockman shorts are starting to shift on my waist and hips... considering how tight they were when i bought them just a couple of weeks ago, i feel great... my extra large rockmans shirt is losening in the sleeves and is roomy and comfy, less fitted...

Anyway i do babble...
Thanks everyone...

We can do this...

Hi Chelle,
It sounds to me like your SIL is getting ready to eat humble pie and ask you all about the program and how to get one for herself. I'm sure she can see just how well it is working for you but doesn't want to sound too eager just yet. I bet she starts asking you little questions about it more frequently and eventually goes all the way and asks you to help her sign up!!
I always take my first thing in the morning weight. I figure this is the most accurate time to weigh as there is nothing in my stomach. It could vary each day in the afternoon depending on how much water you have drunk, what time you ate lunch etc (thats my logic anyway. It probably goes back to when I could bear to add even 1 gram as my weight was huge enough without any extras), but as long as you choose the same time of day each time you weigh it should be fairly accurate.
Your weight loss is excellent too and I'm sure the new shorts will be falling off soon too..Lol..
I'd better go as I just realised its 1am and I need to be up at 6am. (Won't lose any more weight at this rate. Must ensure I get enough sleep!!)
Take care
Beck

Chelle, Jealousy is a bitch, isn't it? Ignore her. How rude. A dress....fantastic!! I still haven't worn one but am working my way up to it as I have spotted some calf muscles. I didn't know I had them. Beware of escalators in those shorts, won't you, xo Cate.
 
i weighed.....

I know i know i said i would list my afternoon weights but yesterdays was too good to ignore... 82.7kg in my p.j's no less..... At about 6pm yesterday i weighed 84 kg so i am happy with both.... cant wait to live it up in the 70's... love my ticker these days its bigger on the lost end...yeah...

I doubt that i would be doing anywhere near as well with out the forum and all your words of :blush5: support, :Angel_anim: advice, :Angel_anim: truth and encouragement:hurray:..

:grouphug:Thank you, everyone... Thank you..:grouphug:​

well i have still a ton of washing to fold and my mother will be here soon... so will be back this afternoon to read and post... hope everyone is having a great weekend...

Hi Chelle, That ticker is looking very good! Well done! Please say hi to your mum for me. My day wouldn't be complete unless I could come into the forum. It's now a part of my life & possibly will be for years. I love it. We all benefit from one another in here. Cheers, cate.
 
chelle chats again..

Okay well i have been chatting to my bridezilla and she is sadly 100kg.. i am, well, you now my weight... I am saddened that my friend has put weight on, i hope she drops a few for her on health.. i know my progress will not make her think about cohens, she has told me several times that its too much effort, too hard etc.. But i do feel her anxiety and regardless of her behaviour towards me i do worry about her .. Any way enough sad sack...

Kmart offered me no help with swimmers,it was quite funny really, i dont know how they can make an 18 with "A" size cups.... my boobs unfortunatley were not meant to be contained in a small peice of lycra.... and the only one pieces the had to offer me were grandma bathers, i feel old with 4 kids but not that old... ha ha ha.... so no swimming just yet, but i shall continue looking for something to wear in the pool...

Well i have a booking at the gown gallery to try on bridesmaid dresses, 9.30 am on the 25th of Feb... fingers crossed i will have shrunk down a little more by then... the nasty part of me wants so many things... i want to be smaller i want to be lighter .. i want to show em..ha ha ha the jokes on you.. i am doing it... see me shrink... but thats just the nasty part... obviously it doesnt dominate as i still have my bags of fatty revenge clothes that i havent passed on to the IL's.... ha ha ha

I remind myself a deviation = an extra week on the program..

I am praying that i shall have completed by the hens weekend... regardless i am deviating for that weekend and i will put off refeed if neccessary, as i have been informed not to deviate on refeed.. I have also been informed that i shall not be forgiven if i dont join in on the hens weekend....

i watched twilight the other day... i now have book 1 and 2... will start reading tonight... god i am such a sucker for a vampire love story...:) i folded very little clothes whilst i watched the dvd... yes and a big tut tut too.. it was a hot copy.. but i thoroughly enjoyed it...

oh well i better sign off and read a few posts before i bugger off and eat my yogurt / egg and veg.. havent decided which one yet... any way drivel drivel drivel..

keep up the hard work everyone and hope i have some thing more interesting tomorrow...

..... mmmmm....im such a dag...

Hi all..

what can i say, i am engrossed in the Stephenie Meyer books, i have read twilight and have just finished new moon.... i know for my housework i should avoid the shops today but i know i shall be drawn there to locate and accuire the next novel.. Eclipse.. I have tried to remind my self i am 30.. i would read these things when i was a teenager... But i am a sucker.. and i have been sucked in... considering i was introduced to the book last october, i really cant understand why it has taken me so long to read them... So i shall hunt down eclipse and Breaking Dawn today and impose strict rules upon my reading schedule... ha ha ha... and i have also come to the conculsion that Host her new book wont be far of my accuired list... tut tut tut.. i am a sucker...

well my bras have now gone to a 16... yeeehahh but my cup size is changing and no bras yesterday fitted me terrible well enough to buy... im still in the e-f range which is a pain in the rear.... especially as i could practically role them up...:p ha ha ha...

I did get bathers from big w and enjoyed a swim on tuesday in a public pool for the first time in 8 years.... i am dragging hubby along next week with bub for a swim.... he is feeling a little odd now, he didnt say to much last time but i think he is now feeling heavy.. I have told him before his weightloss journey will be an easy one, decrease or omit the beer.. very very fattening.... ha ha ha... well i am sure you can imagine his response to that one... :p

i am set to collect a dress from the seamstress today.. I i bought back when i was 20/21... arghh! i fit into it but the zipper was busted so i hope to wear it to the airport and suprise hubby on tuesday.. see if he notices... ha ha ha..

well i better bugger off and deal with my ferals... they still cant get themselves ready with out me barking orders at them...

have a good day everyone and will try and get back on this afternoon..

Hi Chelle, You're sounding chirpy as usual. I read a book yesterday too but it was probably a bit boring compared to yours. A funny, old-fashioned detective story. I don't think it's so funny reading teenager books as they are usually very interesting. Hubby could try low-carb beer! He might just need a little reassurance that you won't flit off with some-one else. Hope you get to wear the dress to the airport & he is suitably impressed! xo Cate
 
well, my reading schedule went out the window.. I have now finished eclipse and breaking dawn.. So sad, but they were good company over valentines.. ha ha ha... I tend to stick mystery/thriller/detective novels these days.. because as i have shown myself over the last few days is i cant put down a romance- fantasy.. i seem to get all wrapped up in it and cant wait for the next fix... ha ha ha...

Cate low carb beer... roflmao... ha ha ha... maybe if it was the last beer on earth..:)

Anyway i better go i have to sleep..

Will be back tomorrow to post...
