Hi Lady’s, wow, I haven’t been on for a week or so and it has taken me a couple of hours to sit down and read through all the pages. I must admit I enjoyed every single word. Sorry for the long posting but just wanted to let you all know I haven’t forgotten any of you….Need to tell you all about a new yoghurt that’s hit the shelves, well I have just found it anyway. It’s the Yoplait NO FAT 70% less sugar thick & creamy. It actually contains less of everything that the natural yoghurt that Cohen’s suggests. I am now just having one of them for lunch, there is 200g in a tub but I know we are only allowed 175g. Now I have personally scraped it out of its packaging and it the net weight of the yoghurt is 187g (ripped off by packaging again) but any way if you just have one of those for your yoghurt allowance, no need to have the fruit as you can get it flavoured, it is just great and only 80cals per tub. I couldn’t believe my eyes the other day when I was reading the contents of it in the supermarket, so bought it, tried it over the last 3 days and it has not affected my weight loss, if anything I have even lost a little more by having it. It has an apple green label, don’t be scared to try it…..
Did anyone read the posting from the new girl ROS on 10 December SMH. All I can say is there is always someone out there to can something because it works. Dr. Michael Booth is a sceptic and probably because he isn’t the one who designed this program. Well Dr. it does work and people don’t get sick from doing it. I suggest you analysis it just in a little more depth before you comment. It is definitely helping people and if you should happen to read this and wish to contact me please do because I have every single gram of every meal recorded and broken down into individual grams so you can actually see it is for one healthy and the body is not be starved.
ROS: It does work, no doubt regardless of what Dr. Michael Booth has to say.
KASEYSMUM: Congratulations for hitting the 80’s, you must be feeling fantastic. Well done. OH my god “DADDY’S GOT EGGS” that is an absolute classic. Don’t children come out with the most amazing things. Kaseysmum, how much weight have you lost now from start to finish.
CRYSS: Wow, 600g in one day is fabulous, isn’t it just the best feeling. Yes, good thinking about putting the Cohen’s clinic info in our details so we know where each other is that way hopefully some of us can meet. 4kg is great don’t you dare feel bad about it….I want you to promise to do something for me, next time you go to the supermarket go to the section that sells all the different oils and then look for a 1 litre bottle, stop in front of them and look at the clear yellow liquid in one of them, not look at 4 of them and just think that is how much fat has come out of your body in the last month, 4 litres of fat, believe me you will walk away feeling good about yourself. When I go in now I look at the 4 litre bottles and then look at 5 of them and think my god that is how much fat my body use to have in it, it is a great way to judge just how much fat you are loosing.
HEALTHYMUM: Your posting on the 7 December is excellent. You definitely have it worked out and I know you won’t break it, if you do you are going to let yourself down. You are not selfish, the way I understand that posting is that you know yourself and you have to know yourself before you can know anyone else. I know myself inside out which I think is a good thing. When I started this program back on the 3 October, I said that was it and I AM GOING TO STICK TO IT. Once I have my mind set nothing will break it and I guess the proof is in the pudding as they say, or should I say in the weight loss 72 days, haven’t broken by 1 milligram, and now down 21.8 kgs. You have to have your mind focused on other things in life because our diet plan is there and all we have to do is follow it, to me that is the easy part because we don’t even have to think about it, so why break it. Congratulations on what you wrote, just great……
CASEY: I actually have beetroot. Yesterday I made a European dish for lunch, Beetroot Soup, I guess you have to like things like that but it was absolutely beautiful, and it did not effect my weight at all. I have checked the calorie content in it and it has less carbs and more fibre than say cabbage. I guarantee you it can not hurt. I really think they just put those vegies down on our plan so we don’t have too much choice, I disagree with this as long as you aren’t having starchy vegies like corn, peas, pumpkin etc. then it’s o.k. Also I don’t follow their rules on the tomato and onion bit either, I have as much of either of them in any of the meals I want. So for example if there was say 100g of vegies with the meat and if I feel like 100g of just tomato, I have it. Once again, it doesn’t matter but it does make thinks a lot easier on the diet plan as there is enough to worry about by just weighing everything.
MONI: WOW, 20kgs in 6 weeks, you are a champion…….You have made me go all goose bumps….That is just great…..2kg’s Moni, by the time I get around to posting this you will probably be there….
RAJAH: The more water you drink the more fat you flush out, you get use to it, just down those bottles either before or after you eat and then just have another in-between and before you know it you are over your quota and the rest is a bonus…..Re weigh ins with Cohen’s, mine is monthly but I just email them my weight loss, can’t be bothered wasting time to go in for 5 minutes and jump on the scales, the next time they see me will be for my re-feed. Also try Safeway or I am pretty sure it is called Woolworths in other states outside Victoria. They have some great ones for under $30.00
MYSHY: My mother has type 2 diabetes as well and my beautiful father who just passed away a few months ago had renal failure, so yes, I have to watch it too. I guess sitting in hospitals for month beforehand and going into dialysis seeing all the people on machines just to strip their bodies of fluid was an absolute eye opener also with mum she has already had one leg amputated and I am back in hospital today with her so she can have an angioplasty done on the other leg as the blood has bad circulation in it and we are hoping to save that one before the same thing happens. God, we just have to look at these aspects and by being thinner we are definitely eliminating these problems for our own benefits. We have to do it while we are young so when our body’s are older they don’t have to try to cope with that type of stress on them. Re posting on Cohen’s consultants, I personally couldn’t agree with you more, I think they are useless as well, that is why I don’t even bother going in, just email them my monthly weight loss and get the blood results sent directly to them via mail. Will only go back for my re-feed. In the past when I have asked them questions they seam to find a way not to answer them and just by pass it. I am going to do a search on the broccoli and HGH today, that is interesting, I’ll let you know if it is true or not.
PERTHMUM: Are you starting on Friday 16 December. If so that’s great. Just remember to stick to it religiously and it works. Yes, I use to love a glass or 2 of wine of a night but have not had a drink for 72 days now, it was hard when I first started as I liked that relaxing feeling at the end of the day but you do get use to not having those useless calories, I’ll never do it again. Once I am on re-feed I will have a glass or 2 on a Saturday night with dinner and then that will be it for the week. Tim Tams, forget them for now every time you look at one of them think of them of a little slab of fat and then visualise one of them stuck on your bum, hum, a nice little lump, no way you don’t need them…..Just continuing to read through the forum and I can see you must have started on Friday 9 December, how are you going….
IMR: CONGRATULATIONS, you are the inspiration of this forum. I do hope you don’t leave us all now, you’re the best and we all want to keep hearing from you. How do you feel now and did the re-feed work as well as they said it was. Was the 61kgs your goal weight? Wow, your pictures are great, you have done so well, congratulations….
MYSHY: Wow, what an EGO boost. Believe it or not that feeling actually been proven to effects your hormones which enhance weight loss, it’s true, what a star, that’s just great…..Also with the tea, I only fill half the cup up with water, let it sit in it for about half an hour, stir it and gently squeeze the bag or else it breaks, and then just scull it, it’s only a couple of gulps then but worth it every morning, you’ll see, even if you hate it just drink it down fast, it really works a treat. God, next thing you have teenagers looking at you, I told you earlier on in the thread you look great and you obviously do, this has confirmed it..…..
TRISH: Welcome to the forum. It has not lost any hair at all so I would not make that a concern. As the diet is extremely healthy eating it will probably help more than anything else. When I was thinking about it in October I got on the forum and asked exactly the same question and someone said to me it will be the best money you could ever spend on yourself, they were right, it is excellent, don’t be afraid, it’s the best and it works. Give yourself a Christmas present and this time next year you will be well and truly down by 50kgs and feeling fantastic. JUST DO IT.
RJM: That is inspiring, thanks for letting us know that, you have done so well. How long did it take you to loose the weight and how much did you end up loosing and what do you weigh now?
BARBARA: Welcome, Go for it, were are all here to help each other…..
