Cohen's Lifestyle Luvbug's Journey

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
Hi all!!

Okay.. so I'm 2 days away from my 1st weigh-in!!! The 4 week one..
I'm kinda nervous LOL
Dunno why...

My weigh-in with my consultant is only on the 9th of May, though.

Can't believe how time flies! It's already part of my life -- I don't even think anymore, it just comes naturally :D

Have a great day everyone!

Keep well, Luvbug :seeya:
*hugs*
 
Hi Luvbug and well done on being so very positive. You are well & truly "In the zone." I love seeing others, trying to think of ways to help out their buddies. That's a very positive & good thing to do. I won't wish you any luck for the weigh-in. Luck does not come into it. Determination, strength, desire...........Well done sweets, xo Cate
 
Almost weigh-in...

Hi Cate, thank you so much for the sweet words :)
I really feel like I'm "in the zone" and it feels GREAT!! :D

I didn't weigh myself this morning, but I'll weigh first thing tomorrow morning..wish me luck! ;)
I'm very excited :biggrinjester:

Keep well,

Weigh-in day...

Hi all!

Well, I've been waiting for this day for 4weeks and when I got up this morning I felt SO nervous! I woke up my bf, who's visiting me, for support. He stood next to the scale before I climbed on it...and there it was...

57.8kg!! OMW!! :party:
I can't believe it! I haven't weighed that in a while! Like Cate I climbed on it like 10 times before I believed it!

I can't describe the relief that came over my body (that it does work)..and the shock! My bf's eyes were huge hehe :D

EVERYONE told me so.. ;) So I'm a firm believer in Cohen's now -- and I'll follow it to the end. *Scout's honour*

Keep well,
Luvbug ****
 
That is fantastic Luvbug! Exactly halfway already! Well done sweets, xoxoxoCate
 
Thank you so much, Cate!!


I still can't believe it. :hurray: I went home for the weekend and my mom and dad can't believe the change! They haven't seen me in 4 weeks, since they live 200km's away.

I'm so happy to be home and I'm sure that the weekend is going to be awesome -- I've really missed everyone :D :party:

I am keeping my guard this weekend, though :newangel:

Keep well everyone who's reading this,
lotsa love,
Luvbug

Thank you also for you encouraging words! I would felt terrible if I had to come report that I deviated!:sifone: Only me and my crackers! (Im cutting down from today and keeping my cracker spree's under control!)

Luvbug & Starfish-
The 2 of you are great support for one another & I'm sure are inspiring many others!I'm really enjoying following your journeys and I feel really positive that you will both get to your goal weight. Well done to you both! I think you both sound like people I would really like. In fact I do! xo Cate
 
Hi Starfish! Hello everyone!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwww.. thank you girl! I was SO shocked -- I couldn't believe it! hehehe!

I think that's one of the most difficult things to do -- to stick to something without really knowing whether it's working or not.(I was doubting like any normal female lol)
But yes, I did it! It's mostly mind over matter when you're on a diet (or a lifestyle like Cohen's! ;) ) HEHE
So yeah, you have to just believe and stick, stick, stick!

I'm so proud of you, myself and everyone on this forum who's sticking it through on Cohen's! CONGRATS to everyone who's reading this! You're doing awesome -- keep it up! ;)

Hehe girl, as long as you're eating those crackers in 2 hour intervals and not more than 2 at a time. hehe! :D

I know that your weigh-in will rock!! :party:

mwahhh!

 
Hi Cate!

Thank you so much, lady :)
Your words really inspire me and I'm so sure so many other people on this forum. Thank you for having so much faith in Starfish and myself -- it really means a lot! You're a real :Angel_anim:! And who can't like angels :D

Hugs!!
 
Luvbug!

So happy to hear your great results! That's a fantastic job in 4 weeks! Am really happy for you ... and can't wait to see how the rest of the program works out for you. I'm sure we'll all be very happy ladies in a few months time hehe.

Go Starfish! You'll be there in no time. Well done for hanging in with it. It's not too hard - not too much longer now.
 
Eeek!! Thought I was in Starfish's diary!

Anyway, well done Luvbug as well!!! You're both doing so well, great you can support each other, and that you found each other when you needed that support.

Thanks for your visits to my diary Luvbug as well!
 
Hi nuttyprofessor & Niyah,

Thanks so much for you ladies' replies!!! ;)

I really do feel great about the loss and I can't wait to lose some more :biggrinjester:

The 2nd month the loss will decrease a lot, but I don't really care -- as long as I get to the finishing line!

And all of us WILL REACH IT!

I'm sooo excited for all of us! WE CAN DO THIS!!! :D

Stay strong and think of your future, hot bod! hehehe!

Luv,
Luvbug xxx
 
Luvbug, it just becomes a way of life, and you keep on keeping on the good choices about food. Even with refeed, and then maintenance, we don't really "finish" - we just make good choices every single day for the rest of our lives. If we ever "lose it" for some reason, then a few days of good choices will get us back on track.

So... this is the shape of life to come. Not the strictness of the actual "diet" - just new decisions every day, and if they are the right ones, the weight goes down and stays down - permanently.

You've done fantastically well. Just two or three more months of determination will see you through to the end of Stage 1 - but then comes the rest - as I said, the good choices day by day by day. But you'll be an old hand at it by then.

I will certainly be able to thank Dr Cohen for the rest of my days for teaching me such a sure, certain and relatively EASY way to not only shift weight, but keep it under control. I've never done it this well by any other method!
 
Hello miss OPTIMISTIC! :) :)

Its so great to hear you so excited! Makes me smile! :sifone:

I do a little victory dance every now and then! Yay!

Yesterday when I saw my consultant-- she asked: How are you? I replied : IM FREEKEN FANTASTIC-- Y--because Im loosing weight! YAY! She laughed at me LOL! YAY 100%

Im so happy that you like halfway already! Thats so great! I think that you will prob see only 12 weeks and you will be on re-feed! Actualy -- I am rather sure and will put money on it! It will have to be monopoly money (I aint got no other) LOL! Im very interested to see what re-feed is like? Ive got the diet program down to an art and a new chalenge would be exciting!:coolgleamA:

I spoke to my dad yesterday, just to tell him how Im progresing-- He asked me how much more I want to loose--I said ± 17kg-- HE WAS LIKE NO!!!! I think like only 10 more! LOL! Im also quite interested to see how I will look when I loose so much- I dont want to be unhealthy or something like that-- just healthy, skinny, pretty :) RIGHT? LOL!

I read that you went to visit your folks? My parentals also live about 2 hours from JHB! oh How I miss those two people! When you are in school, parents arent very cool! But as soon as you leave the house, I realized how blessed I am to have such awesome parents! Im sure you feel the same! Im so thankful that they taught me such good values and standards! GREAT PEOPLE! But the chic's cant stay in the nest forever and we have to leave- thats just the natural order of things!

I wanted to ask you-- what sort job does your man do?

Well, Luvbug, I hope you got your nose in the books young lady! lol! (same goes for me) yet home studying proves to be much harder than varcity YIKES!!!lol!

Have a fantastic day!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
mwah!
 
Hi everyone! Hi Starfish!!

Awww thanks for your reply girl! I can't believe that I'm halfway already -- it's mind blowing!!

I spoke to my consultant earlier, and apparently dr. Cohen found a "deviation" in my blood. :svengo: (sound familiar Starfish? lol)
It's so strange, cause I can't think of any reason for it to show one. I'm not gonna be too worried about it, because I still lost a lot of weight..so it might be something small that I did once?

I'm meeting with her on Saturday for my first official weigh-in :D
:party:

To answer your question: he's a Chartered Accountant and at the moment he's working as an auditor for KPMG. How about your man? :)

Hope everyone's having a great evening!! :D

Lotsa luv,
Luvbug xx :seeya:

 
:waving: HOWDI Luvbug!

How are you today? Well tomorrow is the start of week 6! UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT? WOW! we have been at it for a while now! lol!

Hehehe I was just curious about the occupation of your man! MMMM accountant nogal wow! My man started his own company last year --Plumbing-- A very messy occupation!LOL and smelly too!

When my consultant told me about the deviation-- I was like : What did I do wrong? But the she explained that I was probably the influence of the antibiotics! But you werent sick were you! Maybe it was the cheese! AHAHAH no Im just messing around! There are level of deviations also so dont worry about it! Its not a train smash! Its still working--- if the deviation is allot-- your program will be altered, thats all!

Im happy today-I can FIT INTO MY FAVORITE SISSY-BOY JEANS AGAIN! yay! And Im wearing them proudly!!! YAY!

Hope you have a great day!
mwah!:hurray::hurray:
 
:hat:Thanks Chici!

I see you also having a rather 'deurmekaar' day! Sorry to hear that man! Its not cool when people dont keep their word and then you have to carry the consequences because of it! Maybe just get the notes from someone that was there! I know nothing beats class, but at least you will have something to fill the gap!

Ye, you must go hear what your consultant says about that deviation-- Im curious to know other reason also!

Ya, you better sleep on a tree ( touch wood) in order for you not to get a bladder infection--nothing more uncomfortable than that! TRUST ME!

Thank you for you msg-- its always so nice to hear from you! ;) :) :)

:hurray:Hurray for week 6! Keep up the good work!
MWAH!:waving:
