Cohen's Lifestyle It's Annie Lusion...really it is!!

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
A big hello to all ! :waving:

I Can't believe I have not been here for over a month...time just flies!

Thanks to you all for your well wishes, the holiday was great, weather was not too bad...managed to spend a bit of time by the pool, even got myself a nice tan (love tanning). Best part of the holiday apart from some quality time with mother in law was that I stuck to Cohen's 100% while there. I was so proud of myself because as you know it has taken numerous times to get back on track. The amazing thing about the 8 days up there was that weight just dropped off, not so much kilo wise but I lost so many cm's. On my last day I looked in the mirror and actually could see how much thinner I looked (I have always struggled with seeing me shrinking in the mirror)My sister was up in Coolum while we were in Gold Coast and I had not seen her for a couple of weeks, she just could not believe the difference in my body over two weeks.
I am the lightest I have been in a long time (81 kilos). Yay!!!

So after the first month, I have lost 6 kilos and a total of 39cms.
I have decided I am not going to stress about the kilos any more as I would much rather those cm losses.

I have been back at work for over a week now...grrrrrr..hard to get back into the swing of things and I have decided that I am going to look for another job this year...10 years is enough in one job!

Since being back I have stuck to Cohen's probably 90% and once mother in law leaves I will go back 100%.

I will read everyones diaries and catch up with your news within the next few days, MIL is leaving tomorrow and Monday is a Public Holiday here so I will be back, by the look of your tickers though...wow you are all doing so well.

Till next time.....

Hi Annie
Welcome back and well done on losing while on holidays.....that is an amazing feat in itself. Lauren is back as well aka (Lifesgood). No excuses I suppose after the MIL leaves.
It's also good hear you got a bit of good weather and a tan!!!! while in the sunshine state.
Good to have you back.

HI Annie... I was just thinking the other day about the fact that I hadnt seen you around and I was wondering how you were getting on....

So glad to hear that you had a great trip away... even more than that was the bit about being able to stay 100% while you were away! Thats totally awesome eh!

Its so empowering when we do this and it reminds us that we CAN DO THIS...NO MATTER WHAT life throws at us. Holidays or family or stress... we can follow this and nothing will get in our way of our goal... and nothing will get in the way of us maintaining at the end... because if we can do the PROGRAM on holidays etc... surely we can do maintenance on holidays and in normal life etc!

Please do pop over to my diary for a visit... I have had lots of great things happen lately and would love to share them with you! Look forward to seeing you around a bit more now that you are back!

Hi Annie!

Welcome back! I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday. It really is amazing to be able to stick to Cohen's while not at home. It makes the self esteem really grow. :) Good luck with getting back into the swing of things.

Hi Every-one,

This is a real different way to interact with people but nice to have a chat to people that are trying or want to lose weight. I like most of you am a diet queen, and have tried most things going around. Joined Cohen's on Tuesday 11th March and I'm currently waiting for my eating plan, so I can start on my way.

I'm a mum of two girls 4 and 19 months, and live on the Gold Coast, would love to hear from anyone in the local area or anyone. I have looked at the programme for a while now and thought I better move my butt and just get on with it for the new me. I have lost 9.9kg since Oct 07 but very slowly, which gets you a little down, so this is my motivation for great weight loss quickly and safely.

My start weight is 96.35kg and would love to get to 65kg, but will be happy with my weight as it slowly falls off.

Thanks for the chat, easier then I thought.

Cheers Jenni
 
Hi Jenni & welcome to the forum. I used the forum for my main motivation whilst on the program last year. I feel I am making some great new friendships along the way & continue in here mainly for that reason. It also helps me to be honest & accountable, mainly to myself. All the best with it. Commit 100% & you will succeed! I love the saying "Do or do not. There is no try." & "Nothing tastes as good as slim feels." I can vouch for the latter! Cheers, Cate.
 
Thanks Cate for your welcome and kind words of support, those saying are great and they do make you think before you speak. I don't know if I am in the right place, but I don't know where to start my own diary or how, so if you or anyone can help me out that would be great.
I can't wait to start.
Cheers Jenni
 
Hi Jenni, This is Annie's diary, but she's lovely & won't mind that you borrowed it for this evening.
Go to Cohen's Lifestyle - Weight Loss Forum and click on New Thread & start your own diary. Call it Jenni's.................(whatever you like) & we'll come visit you there. Most of us have our own diaries. It's very therapeutic! Cheers, Cate.

Hi kannadew

Soon as I read Annies post I just raced over to the new forum and you have just blown me away. I think you may be a contender for the Cohens weightloss acheiver for 2008, you'll definitely get my vote.

I hope you don't mind me opening this thread and adding the link of your amazing weightloss....I just got carried away. Thanks for hanging around here as well I appreciated all the advice you have given me in my diary and I hope you stick around after refeed as well.
Thanks for your continued inspiration.

ANNIE....sorry for hijaking your diary.

Hi all,

Havnt been posting much due to falling off the wagon yet another time. Happy to report that I have not put any weight on after I came back from hols (late Feb) have maintained what I lost but my eating has been all over the place, with starting off doing cohens and it all falling apart during the course of the day.
For any newbie reading this DO NOT DEVIATE!!! It is so hard trying to get back on to cohens foods once you have gotten a taste of non cohen foods.

I only had logged in to send Sam a birthday message. I will try and catch up with other diaries during the weekend. I am having a nothing weekend because I am sooooooooo exhausted, been nursing a sick husband (flu) and a sick sister (appendicitis)

Going to take it easy this wekend food wise and officially start full on cohens on Monday...anyone wishing to join me?

Have a great weekend

Keep remembering your Goal! You will get there! I believe in you!

Hi Annie
I am in the same boat as you, finding it very hard to get back on the Cohens wagon. I was planning to start up as well today but it has not happened.
Maybe we should join forces and see how it goes:beerchug:
Thanks again for the Birthday wishes....you are very sweet for remembering me.:hug2:
Take care
Sam:)
 
Oh Annie, I missed your post. I could do with a kick up the back-side & your suggestion about starting back on Monday would have been a good one if I had read it! I'm off to Melb this week-end but will try to be careful. I am going to take Saladas. Yes, I know that Melb stocks Saladas but when faced with bad choices I used to find an apple & 2 Saladas used to do the trick so am going back to the lessons learned.
I am going to re-commit on Monday-next Monday!! I really need to lose 5kgs to feel safe. I need a buffer zone, not my own built-in air bag! xoxo Cate
 
Sam, Cate,

I feel a challenge coming on......
First one to 5 kilos? Starting Monday 14th May...what do you say?
Anyone else?

Annie Lusion
p.s this Monday did not happen for me either Sam....grrrrrrr
 
Annie, I hope you mean 14th of April as I can't wait that long!! If so,
BRING IT ON!!!
 
I'll join you gals in that challenge.... I just wrote my post about the opposite blah blah blah just that just made me smile and go 'ROAR' in my head!

Lets do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

L x
 
Yes 14th April...BRING IT ON!!!!

Oh sam, you in????

Might start a new thread of some sort...any ideas??
