Hello

Hi All,

Hope your all going well over the weekend. I am hoping my plan arrives tomorrow so i can start. I was lucky enough to get a vague idea of what to do so am starting tomorrow regardless ... i am weird about starting stuff on Mondays. I have this great recipie that my mum made on weekend that she was telling me about ... you place your egg allowance and vegetable allowance in a zip lock bag (the ones you put sandwhiches in) and get pot of boiling water going on the stove, kinda mush up the bits in the bag (shake it etc) and then place in the bag in the boiling water for about 8 mins or whenever it looks cooked inside the bag and whola you have a lovely yummy fluffy omlette with no fat or mess - hope that all makes sense!!

I am chasing a recipie for a chilli chicken type dish - any help would be great.

Love and slim tummys to all :)
 
Icy Poles - Using Zero Sprite

Can I ask what you are all making your icey poles in? I'm looking at the ice cube tray and scratching my head, the tooth picks won't stand up!!! ;)

Cryss - I pissed myself laughing when I read this!! You are a character with an vivid imagination.. sorry for the confusion in my previous post.

Babe, you can pick them up from cheapo shops like 'hot dollar', 'reject shop' or 'golo'
They only retail for a few dollars, have a squiz on the two dollar shop online, click this link - sorry babe, I should of been more specific in my post when I said Ice Blocks.... I meant like icy pole's. Who knows what you Melbournian's call them!!

King of the Castle?? I think not.......

Suggestion, don't start attacking someone’s attempts at weight loss progress in this forum.

Your comments are scattered and not very well thought out.

You really missed the point of my post, this may well be because you don't truly understand what you posted in the first place.

Now let's clear a few things up;

I never said that you have been embarrassed about your weight, I did however say that I would have expected more from someone who may have felt the scorn of strangers purely for being different, BIG difference, very big difference.

I doubt if you have aboriginal heritage, otherwise you really wouldn't have posted what you did. I have a number of Koori friends from Victoria and Tasmania who shared Australia Day afternoon with us, not one of them would dream of posting what you did and one girlfriend was disgusted at your narrow mindedness, as they do know what happened to their people.

I'm not embarrassed easily, if I was I wouldn't have replied to your illogical post, unlike others on the forum who thought what I said. Just didn’t bother saying anything (pretty much what I should have done, as it has proven to be a can of worms)

I think you really do need to do something about your posts, I thought it was a little low brow commenting on your grammar and spelling in my initial post, however, since you bought up university, if you actually went to “UNI for 4 years” as you say you did? I would hope that you would be able to construct a logical sentence, with correct spelling and tense, even the right word for the subject under discussion.

As suspected, when all else fails, aim your cruel comments at someone’s weight, true sign of your character when you take it to a personal level, this forum is for people to feel safe and hopefully say what they truly feel about what they are going through, using it against them in a future non-related post is pretty much as low as you can get. So keep your fruit and cracker comments where they belong in this instance, to YOURSELF!

To be honest, I personally am a little tired with your snide back handed comments about others on the forum, talking about fence sitters and back stabbing. You are a nasty piece of work, who I will have on permanent ignore, as I would rather go through my weight loss journey without having to trawl through your grammatically incorrect, badly constructed, cruel and insensitive posts.

Please don’t reply to this post, it will be wasted energy on your behalf, as I won’t be reading it, and no one else cares.

May the fleas of a thousands camels infect your disgusting and ego infested being......

Obviously you still have nothing better to do.....

Are you now a english teacher as I haven't seen your qualifications either....

I don't need to prove anything to you or anyone else ... Who made you the King or the beast of the castle????? :eek:

Grow up, get a life and get you know what ....:p

It will be a sunny day in hell before I return to this site... :(

Hope Tim is still your best friend......


Anyway hope everyone ELSE does extremely well in there weight loss journey and finishes the program.....:D
 
Aloha!

Heya gals,

Welcome to all the newbies! - there's been a few lately, so I've lost track! Hope this forum prooves to be useful for you as it has to me and many others.

Josey - regarding that picture I posted with the slab of fat against the brick - I found the picture on a website () & thought it was interesting so I posted it on our forum. Pretty neat eh?

Sounds like theres a bit of a mix going on at the moment.....some of us are on the wagon and others have fallen off !

Simple answer - Dont think twice, just get back on.
Hard Part - stay put & dont stray!

Moving on, I'm still hanging in there, although the double digits still havent appeared! I had my engagement party last night, had a FANTASTIC time, was a bit over whelmed by all the nice food but did pretty good with most of my food choices. I think the overload of extra sugar (especially in dessert) hit my body & head like a brick by the end of the night I had a mega headache and didnt feel too good. Was surrounded by family & close friends for the night and had Michael by my side - so I couldnt of asked for much more, its the first time in 2yrs I've had my WHOLE family together - & everyone noticed my weight loss, so the comments were encouraging. I saw my best friend, Linda - who I havent seen in 6 months + ('cos we live 2.5hrs from each other), anyways when she first arrived, as a joke she walked straight past me, turned around - bashed into me (in a friendly way) and shouted 'who the F*** are you - you Sexy B!*ch' - (what would we do without our friends?? they always know how to put a BIG smile on your face) - I've lost a good 30kg since I last saw her (24kg of that since I've been on Cohens), so it was definitely a surprise for her. Had a gazillion photos taken, bright flashes in my eyes half the night. Even though I've been a big girl most of my life, I've always enjoyed being in photos (photograpy is a hobby close to my heart), but last night was extra special because for the first time in a LONG time I didnt feel nervous about looking at the photos afterwards - there was no double chin poking out to say hello, and I've lost an incredible amount of weight off my face, along with the rest of my body. Have a squiz at some of the piccies - .


Wrapping this up here......shall report in again soon.

Mel

Mel congratulations on the engagement. Looks like a great night. You must be so excited, and so proud of yourself about the weight. Such an important night for you and a great time to show off your newly developing healthy self. You look so happy.
The pictures are wonderful and you can see the defining features in your face and everything. Can't wait to see you at goal. Go Mel!
Thank you for sharing the photos with us.
 
Hi Everyone and welcome to all the Newbies- there seems to be a few of you since my last post!

Well, it looks like there has been some unpleasantness on the forum in the last couple of days. :mad: I value this forum very much and would hate to see it turn nasty or be shut down due to this kind of thing. It looks like the situation has sorted itself out, so lets hope thats the end of it.

Not much to report from me. I am PMS-ing and have a thing for chocolate right now that sees me either jumping off the wagon (3 times) or spending alot of time thinking about it. Why am I so weak??? I could almost be on refeed if I hadn't broken so much while I was on holidays...
Oh well, it's the beginning of a new week and a new month- hopefully I can make a fresh start (again) with renewed determination. ;)

Mel- You look so happy in those photos! You were obviously having a great time! Thanks for sharing! :D

PinkVirgo and Pinkcandy Good luck to you both on starting this week. :)

Nat :)
 
Hi Ladies,
Well I've finally adjusted my ticker. I still hate my new scales, but I know Joysey and Cryss were right when they say that I will be able to better monitor my weight with them. I am hoping it will help me refocus and hopefully see me on my refeed in a few weeks.

Mel - your photos are gorgeous!! I loved seeing the proposal (I am always asking how that part happened!).

Nat - I still spend a lot of my day (pms-ing or not) thinking about food. I don't know that I'll ever let part go.

Good luck to those starting their plans this week. Don't forget to post and let us know how things are going.

Have a great week everyone.....enjoy even the slightest drop in weight and remember the biggest of journeys starts with the smallest of steps.

Myshy

p.s Cryss.......... I almost wet my pants visualising you, an ice cube tray and some diet sprite. I got my icy pole maker from the reject shop. They are only about $2.00. I made up a whole batch but my kids ate them all!
 
Congratulations Mel,
I looked at your pictures and can see the gleam in your eye . . .how wonderful to share your happiness.:)

I have been trying to do the ticker and hopefully it will show up. I have enjoyed seeing all the interesting ones that you all have. I have listed in pounds as I'm in the states . . .I can appreciate the struggles all are having and appreciate the tips you all share. I'm happy with my results so far, but have gotten my fair share of frustration with the scales bouncing up and down with that .5 . . .dang it:( . . .oh well, it's better than it was . . .so just keep going forward . . .:D
 
Just a quick question, what is the procedure for changing of the ticker? Do we go back to the tickerfactory and click on weight change? Thanks for your help.

Linda
 
Hey guys,

Mel Congratulations!!!! You looked gorgeous at your engagement party.

I went to the specialist today about my problems from last month, and am booked in for a colonoscopy next Monday.

Good news! I have booked to go to the Gold Coast lifestyle clinic for a consultation this afternoon! I've been putting it off till I could sort out all the other stuff - but my appetite is back - which is a bad thing.

Jonelle......hi!!! Did you live in Queensland in 2004?

A bit of trolling going on, eh? Oh well....the life of internet forums. I have access to some spare domain names if you want to set another one up for private girlfriend chats. Just send me a PM. LOL The benefits of being a webhost's wife.

Ros: nope, have lived in Perth my whole life :)

Well.. i went to the Missy Higgins concert last night!! (at sandalford winery no less) and didnt drink a drop of alcohol. WOOOHOOO!!! look at me go heheh :D :D

Congratulations, Mel. your ring is HOT!
Well done, you look great in your photos!
 
Thanks Girls for all your messages of congratulations! Fingers crossed I'll get to my goal weight within plenty of time before the wedding, Im almost at the half way point...!
 
Aaah ok, I knew a Jonelle here who listed our house, but then she left and moved to WA....it's not a common name :D

K I signed up, ladies!!!! Then I came home and had a snack sized packet of Twisties. Pretty sad, huh? I think that's the rebel coming out in me! I have to fast this weekend for the colonoscopy on Monday and can't figure out whether I should wait till then, or whether it will give a bad reading because of this drink that I've got to have before the procedure.

On another note, I got the bill from the hospital for the three days I was in while in the US. $14,400 US dollars!!! :eek: $2900 US just for a CAT scan - and they couldn't get a decent image because I threw the drink up! $900 for an ultrasound, $130 for a pregnancy test.......I took it to the specialist today to show him and he estimated the bill would be about $4000 Australian if it happened here. Still waiting on the ambulance bill which is at a guess around $3,000.

Anyways, back to the programme, I must be serious, I even got a ticker. But I think I'll wait till I see a movement the slider before listing it. :eek:
 
Mel when is the wedding? Are you going to try to get to your goal weight by then? You look pretty great now :)
 
Remember ME !!!!!!

Ros, the wedding is on October 7th this year, so I've got 8 months and 1 week to the big day! I am most certain that I will reach my goal weight before October, I've lost 24kg in 3months, so hopefully I can lose the remainding 34kg in 8 months. Discipline and Will Power is all it takes, & I want this more than anything :) It's been a very emotional ride to get this far, the social life has been cut to a minimum, but I'm willing sacrafice a few things now, to make life a whole lot better later. All you girls are my support network, I'd be lost without you! :(
