Good afternoon Ladies and gentlemen,
Don't ever appologize for posting a winge, at lest 'we' on this forum can understand what you are going through. I myself am only 20kgs down and have had people telling me not to loss anymore (most are size 8,10 or 12). I think it can be an insecurity thing for them, you are breaking in to their territory. Once (long ago) a friend said she like hanging out with me because me being fat made her look even better so i agree with lessfatty's suggestion of them looking tired or having swollen ankles. The comments are getting a little boring for people who don't or don't want to understand where we are all coming from (& going too).
Less of Me - HUGE CONGRATULATIONS Jody on your achievement, that an amazing loss. You are amazing and still remain as my inspiration and you look fantastic. You go girl.
Princessoz - people will say anything to pull us down, so don't listen to them. People who have put their weight back on have either not completely finish the refeed and/or no changed their lifestyle habits. If their is one thing that everyone should learn from this program is how much food we need in order to survive everyday and how much junk our bodies don't need. If you have the mentality of that I'm missing out then you will put the weight back on with this and every other program, so if your mental attitude has changed towards food there will be no reason for the weight not to be maintained for life - life style program it is the same for alcholic - lifestyle program and junkies - lifestyle program.
more 2go - welcome and well done for taking the first and hardest step - realising that change needs to happen. GOOD FOR YOU this forum is great and you will be encouraged here in our family. Good luck and post regularly
dubschic- don't feel like an inturder, we are glad you have finally felt comfortable to post and say hello. Don't be so hard on yourself. I'm no finish still go a way to go but life has changed in a big way. First i'm starting to like who i am and secondly my relationship with food is now very different - its not my friend anymore its just something we need in order to survive everyday. My clothes fit or are too big and i have more energy daily. Welcome to our family and good luck with your program.
BAM - you sound happier today and have accepted that your loss was a good one bless you girl you will get there for your holiday and you will look fab - oh so fab.
Jude - I loved your posts, you made me laugh and i have been stealing the neighbourhood kids ever since (ha ha). I though i would wish you well for tomorrow. Dig in deep as i know you will do it. I'm just short of 20kgs. I am a little impatient but i am looking after myself. Bless you heaps, thinking of you & will see the u you soon
Lucee - how has your week been? Have u had more dreams? You are doing an amazing job keep it up
Bye Bye Blubber - don't lurk especially if you feel down, we can spare your trouble and halve it well try to cheer u up anyway. How is the new job? How are you today, please post or go online and chat to me i have sent you my msn address via PM
Well girls and boys this day is just gorgeous so you must (if in melb) go outside for a walk and breath in the fresh air. I'm starting to fit into my other clothes, you know the one that stay in you wardrobe that you never wear. I put on a skirt that is relatively new (2yrs) well never worn but now fits YEAH!!! In reading booksand talking to people just remember it is still our choice - our choice to be on this program, our choice to deviate, our choice to listen to so called friends and our choice to change our lifestyle for the better.
Have a great weekend and keep drinking that H2O
Cheers jewls

Congratulations!
Before I waffle on a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Less of Me. You must feel amazing. I hope everything you wish for comes your way. What an inspiration - you deserve all the happiness in the world! And all done with such an amazingly positive attitude. Thank you.
Hello everyone,
I have been away for a few days - talk about entering a minefield of food temptations. Everytime I opened my mother's fridge or pantry I swear the food began to sing and dance and croon at me to devour it! Get behind me Satan!
Man, it can be tough at times! But I DID NOT DEVIATE! Maybe we should make badges like they do with AA...you know 28 days without deviating! Makes me wonder if there is a food equivalent to 'sober'???
Anyway, enough silly talk. I really enjoyed reading the pages of posts.
Everyone is doing so well and the support you all offer is amazing. I can relate to the stories of people who receive negative comments. I have my sister's saying they don't want me to get too skinny as it may change who I really am and that I may fall into temptation when men start 'hitting' on me! Can you believe it! All that it spells out to me is FEAR! They know that I will be more confident and more assertive - they should be scared!!! My sister only last night said she is 'worried' for me! Why? 'Cause the blokes will pay me some attention and not you? Why? 'Cause you'll look all your 33 years of age and I'll look HOT!!! But seriously, these comments are only a reflection of their insecurities and despite the really hard days on this diet I am going to get there!
My husband has already picked out a dress he wants to buy me for Christmas and my daughter wants me to wear an old bridesmaids dress (from 5 years and 20kilos ago!) at her 4th B'day in January! Looks like it will be fancy dress theme!
I do have a little concern which I was hoping I could share with you. It niggles at me every night. It is regarding my first weigh-in in two weeks time.(Haven't weighed myself once yet.) I have not so much as licked a spoon and have stuck to the diet 110%, packing up lunches to take to people's houses, doing housework whilst the rest of the family eats take-away etc etc. And I fear that I am going to be really disappointed with the results. I hate having expectations but I admit to wanting to see a dramatic result - like at the very least a 7 kilo loss. I want to eliminate this thought process as I'm sure it's only going to make it harder for me. How will I react if I don't meet this expectation? It is dangerous ground and an easy excuse to say that it's not working and I might as well throw it in. Any tips anyone?
Anyway, there were so many people I wanted to mention to congratulate for their efforts or for simply making me smile but everyone here deserves a pat on the back. We're doing it aren't we? Yeah for us!
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

JR mint, i ain't complaining!
Thought of other ppl....
I had to post becos I am beginning to get a bit fustrated at home... well I agree with you ppl mentioning that those slim ppl are being insecure that we are losing weight... I myself have the same issue... my sister who have always been the slimmer one between the 2 of us are getting a little bit freaky... Ever since I have been on this program, she have been FOLLOWING me as well.. not following my eating habits but trying to compete for attention of my relatives.... she have tried to cut down her food intake.. I should say its good for her but the fact that she is trying get attention from ppl makes me feel pissed off...
and sometimes she would just look at me without a reason... and also whenever my relatives start telling me I have slim down, my mum would say my sister is getting EVEN MORE SLIMMER!!!! I am getting a bit sick of the attention that my sister is trying to get from other ppl... Perhaps you might think why am I getting so upset with these... well there are much more issues between my sister and I so that's why I am freaking out!!!
So i told myself that I would just keep my program going and dun bother about them....
i hope all of you do not mind me complaining... I just need some of your "listening" eyes....

My tip is short and sweet: Just remember that any loss at all is 100 times better than none and 1000000 times better than a gain!
I'm sure though, that you will have done amazingly well! Just a quickie...
Can anyone please suggest a yummy quick lunch that does not include tinned tuna! I am going to turn into one if I keep eating it - Ahhh! I'm starting to not eat lunch at all if it means I have to open another tin of Snappy Tom!
Much appreciated!
(PS - Can we have the recipe to the curried apricot chicken as well??? Please.)

Hi all, couldn't ask for a better day!!
8-2much I remember going through the same as you are. I remember wanting to lose 15K at my first weigh in and worrying about what I would do if I didn't. Well I only (that word again) lost 8K and I remember being disappointed but not for long. It was 8K!!! I realised that even though I wanted more, it was 8K I no longer carried. My disappointment was only fleeting. You will be thrilled no matter what you lose because you will have achieved. You know you have not deviated (we need another word) and you will be really proud of this. You will be thrilled because you weigh less than when you started, you feel better, you can see the measurements dropping and you will just know how smart/clever?good you are. Just you wait and see.
Is your daughter into fairies? You could have a fairy party and wear your dress with some wings and glitter.
A tip, get the tape measure and not only measure what you are now but revisit what you started at. It is a good way to see what you are really doing and how much room there is in the tape measure now. Check out the towel when you wrap it around yourself after the shower, check out the seat belt in the car, the distance between the steering wheel and you. These are all ways of recognising that you are achieving don't depend only on the scales.
Congratulations everyone. I look at the tickers and am amazed at how well everyone is doing. I think we get too close to what is happening and forget to look at the bigger picture, like where we were a month ago. So everyone here is your exercise for the weekend. Get your book out and look at what you weighed and measured at the beginning of August. Be proud and thrilled because you will never be there again.
On that note have a good weekend.

For me I prepared a number frozen lunches, I put them into ziploc bags, my work has a microwave oven so I just heat it up for lunch. Do you have access to a microwave? I have a supply of "chicken curry and vegitables" and "mango chicken (and vegitables)".
I prepared in portions of exactly 10X my allowances of raw incredients (eg. 1.35KG chicken, 1.2KG veg), then after it is cooked I separate the soup/sauce components from the soild, weigh both results. Using the scales again I place exactly 1/10 of the 2 final components into 10 separate ziploc bags and freeze them. I understand this is not exactly Cohens as there is the potential that the final result wont be exactly right (like a 2gm piece of chicken extra in one and 2gms extra veg in the other) but I just dont care, I need to eat lunch and I need to prepare it in advance and I dont have all weekend to make 10 separate sets.
I havent had a tin of tuna since starting. But I have had a lot of tuna!
Take a raw tuna steak and grill (with a very hot non-stick pan) on both sides (I like it very rare on the inside), place on a bed of baby spinach leaves/salad or on some stir "fry" (no oil) vegitables, dress with a finely cut fresh chilli mixed with vinager and some sweetener. (and few drops of soy sauce....oh no diviation, so leave that out and use a pinch of salt!), garnish with some sliced spring onions. If you are cooking also for someone who isnt on Cohens, then for their meal put it on a bed of Japanese steamed rice, and include wasabi (green japanese mustard) and soy sauce in the dressing. Mashed sweet potatos can also be used instead of rice.

What about this?
Ingredients
Chop or grate all veggies very finely. Beat up egg, add veggies and mix well. Add herbs, spices or seasoning to taste. Pour into a lightly sprayed muffin tin for about 15-20 minutes. These are suitable to freeze.
This is a great recipe because it is really easy to make a whole muffin tray of them in one go. This is another recipe that I like to have for lunch sometimes. You can prepare the meat filling earlier and reheat it for lunch if you want. I sometimes have it cold if I'm out and about and don't have access to a microwave and it is still just as good. It is a type of San Choy Bow.
Ingredients
Combine chicken mince, onion, mushroom, garlic and ginger powder and coriander in a frypan lightly spayed with oil, over a medium heat. Add a small amount of water to assist the flavours to infuse and prevent chicken drying out. Place spoonfulls of this delicious mix into lettuce leaves and roll up. Enjoy!
My mouth is watering just thinking about it...might have to have this for lunch tomorrow!
As for an 'Apricot' Chicken recipe, I found this old post:
Also, for everyone out there who likes to 'spice it up', my consultant gave me this recipe for a Herb Sprinkle.
Ingredients
Hope that these recipe ideas help! Also, go and check out the Cohen's Website. There are heaps of recipe ideas there that might be suitable for a quick lunch.

It's not that bad is it?
I'm now on day 4 and apart from a few tummy rumbles before lunch, it is ok...I worked out that I can pace my crackers over the morning and it keeps the rumbles at bay or a piece of fruit instead.
I suppose I expected it to be more difficult....so am quite relieved.
My pantsometer is working already! Pants not so tight.
What vitamins do you all take?I found some with all the goods but they stink...have to wrap them in a plastic bag! has anyone found some goodies?
Can't wait until my first weigh in...sorta like xmas!

hi everyone,
[SIZE="3"]8-2-much[/SIZE]you really made me laugh. I can totally relate to the tin tuna saga!! I think if i look really hard i will have scales soon. I have been really taking to the tins as my weight loss slowed down and a birdy told me that just eat the tuna for a few days to get things going again, but it has worked so im going to lay off it for a while now.
Can anyone tell me if raw oysters natural are a no no???I thought they would be a perfect ruse at restaurant eating.
[SIZE="3"]Less Of Me[/SIZE]OH MY GOD!! That is simply superb. i cant imagine what that would feel like.You are a true champion and must deservedly feel so proud!!
Congatulations to the new starters and welcome, it is a great decision and you will be rewarded withthe new you in no time.
I saw a home video of myself from my other life today and it blew me away!!i cannot believe i was that HUGE. Just makes me more determined.
Well cheers another bottle of water down.

Mojo missing
Hi all. Just want to ask a question and if any1 can give sm helpful advice wld be gd. I have tendency to skip meals- not intentional just either not hungry or way too busy to stop. I no im not meant to but i cant seem to break that habbit.. Also, how do ppl cope when out and about or go to the movies. I dropped by subway (only thing open at 11.30pm (hadnt had anything to eat during day) that didnt require a half hour wait and was outa time) but cldnt get served (sm young 18yr olds so drunk they took 20mins to get order thru!!) so i just grabbed a diet coke (yes thats ok) and a pkt of chips from the servo. I did go car hunting from like midnight 2 2.30am so lots of walking- can browse with BF without being hasseled by sellers. I have found for the last wk despite having being very lax in diet i have still lost so i am ok with it but want to be more diligent- guess i am just getting bit sick of process.
Does this sound familiar???? I can bet im not the only one here getting into a rut but i want to break it. Matt says i should just stick to it but it gets kinda hard when ur either out and about or just not in vacinity of my kitchen. I have been known to skip meals and maybe not eat for a day or so and i know its not right- I KNOW IT BUT CANT SEEM TO ALTER THE PATTERN. He is very supportive and says he worries about at the end i will revert back to bad ways (missing meals) and i guess i am a bit. I never over eat and never have so im glad that isnt my issue- i under eat if anything and if stressed (very stressed lately and for prob last 4.5yrs- cpl car crashes with back and neck injuries) i dont eat much at all. HOW DO I CHANGE???????
Sorry if it sounds like im windging but trying not to do that but ask for help. I think if sm1 asks then they want to change and thats half the battle. Hehe. Well. Im going to bed now- its 3.30am (only got home at 2.30am). Went saw movie Miami Vice at cinema- soooooo gd. Night all and focus. Gee i can talk huh.

Does this sound familiar???? I can bet im not the only one here getting into a rut but i want to break it. Matt says i should just stick to it but it gets kinda hard when ur either out and about or just not in vacinity of my kitchen. I have been known to skip meals and maybe not eat for a day or so and i know its not right- I KNOW IT BUT CANT SEEM TO ALTER THE PATTERN. He is very supportive and says he worries about at the end i will revert back to bad ways (missing meals) and i guess i am a bit. I never over eat and never have so im glad that isnt my issue- i under eat if anything and if stressed (very stressed lately and for prob last 4.5yrs- cpl car crashes with back and neck injuries) i dont eat much at all. HOW DO I CHANGE???????
Sorry if it sounds like im windging but trying not to do that but ask for help. I think if sm1 asks then they want to change and thats half the battle. Hehe. Well. Im going to bed now- its 3.30am (only got home at 2.30am). Went saw movie Miami Vice at cinema- soooooo gd. Night all and focus. Gee i can talk huh.

Hi Y'all!
Just checking in... (and I'm doing good Ready To Lose... freakin' frustrated though cause the end is nigh... you must be feeling it too.. you will probably get there before me at this rate!)
No weight loss this week (no gain either)... Could be because I had a few *minor* deviations - extra piece of fruit here and there and a handful of pretzels last night - couldn't resist... should've resisted. Made me VERY bloated and gaseous later in the evening.. pooowhee! Won't be doing that again until after refeed. Have also been having a bit of a nibble on my nails too (gave up biting them six months ago)... something has happened to my resolve over the last couple of weeks but now I've confessed it'll be easier for me to get back on the wagon.
I have to let the cat out of the bag and say a big welcome to ::dubschic:: who is my gorgeous sister who can only become more gorgeous by doing Cohens! She's always been such an inspiration to me and I have no doubt she'll do it again by completing this program. Everyone here will agree that it's the hardest thing you can ever do but the best thing you can ever do for yourself..
Okay.. right.. that's it from me... no deviations (or nail biting) this week and hopefully I can report a ticker update next week.... refeed here we come!

Holidays!
This is just a really quick post to say 'Goodbye' for a little while. I am going to Tassie for a 2-week holiday...It is my Dad's 60th and he hasn't seen me since Christmas...won't he get a surprise - well a double surprise actually as our trip to Tassie is, at this stage, unbeknown to him too! He won't know we are there until we knock on his door tomorrow morning (Father's Day!). Should be fun!
I probably won't be checking in on the forum while I'm away. So to all of you - Stay strong, Stay focused & Stay positive! I'm looking forward to seeing some great progress from all of you on my return...I bet there will be a zillion pages to read through! See Ya!
