Cohen's Lifestyle Luvbug's Journey

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
girl! You are gorgeous! Best of luck in your weight loss!! Hope to be able to stop by here and cheer you on often!!! Your pictures you posted are BEAUTIFUL!


good luck girl!
 
Hiiiiii Everyone!! :D

Oh yes, Starfish and I are back for good :p hehe
And how I've missed you!!!:sifone:

Wow, being a teacher is really rough and lots of work! ;)
I've only got about 6 weeks left of teaching prac, though.

And ugh..I've not started refeed yet, quite on the contrary -- I've picked up about 3kg's :ack2:

Believe me, don't ever, ever, EVER deviate..you WILL REGRET IT and it's totally not worth it! It's sooo evil and carbs come back and bite you in the ass -- quite literally!
But no worries -- I'm on track now again till I've lost the last few, then I'll start with refeed..

Hope everyone else is doing okay?

Thank you to all the support for receiving my refeed! You guys ROCK!! :D
And thank you for the lovely compliments!

mwahhhhh!!

Hey Luvbug

You are looking AMAZING!!!!! I bet your getting sick of people saying that by now.. ha ha ha.Your just SO close to your goal now and have done so well to get there and be serious about Cohen's.

I have been following your journey and you sound like such a sweet-heart :) You deserve to be as gorgeous as you are as it shines from within!

Best of luck with the last couple of kg's- I'm sure they will be gone before you know it!

P.S I am married to a South African boy :) He is from East London! I think SA boys are SO cute and I just love their accents, he he he

Hi Luvbug!!
"and carbs come back and bite you in the ass -- quite literally!"
Don't they ever! You wouldn't think that you could actually see where they are but you can!
2 weeks back on Cohen's 100% & then refeed will get rid of that 3kg. Now is the really important time- stabilising & then maintaining. It's a critical time & needs to be done carefully so that you will know the quantity of food & the balance between the food groups that is right for you to maintain your healthy weight. It might be an idea if you find a little spare time to try to prepare for it so that when you are ready to start it will be easier. You're looking great & now you'll have to get used to compliments & learn how to accept them graciously. That for me was an art in itself. Still is but I no longer get embarrassed. Good for you 'fessing up to us about deviating. Now for the home run, xo Cate.
 
Oh luvbug,

Shed that 3kg off quickly! Yes, I wholly agree - stay away from carbs and sugar, they are just so not worth the effort.

I thoroughly agree with Cate on planning for refeed. Don't ever jump into it. I've actually prepared a spreadsheet which tabulates what I eat and the quantity so that it'll serve as a reminder for me when I get into maintenance.

I hope to head for refeed in about 2 weeks' time if everything else goes smoothly. I'll be keeping a refeed diary for all who are interested to make a reference to. I'll start when I hit 55kg I guess...however long it'll take me to reach there. Originally wanted to hit 53kg before starting but I guess, I can live with 53-54kg of weight for the rest of my life. I don't have to be stickly thin :)
 
HELLO.....i just read your entire diary, which i found very interetsing.. I think becasue we are both young females with thew same goal weight and im a teacher too ( im sure that made me fat to begin with..lol)... seeing what you have achived is great motivation.. im 70kg now and want to get to 55kg... yay.. bring it on i say!!! this is my 3rd week... i began at 75kg...
well hope its all going well :)
 
I'm back......!!!!!!!!!

Hi EVERYONE!!!!

OOOOohhh WOW.. it's been such a long time...!!

I'm so sorry for being absent for so long..

The thing is, my boyfriend and I broke up in end August..so my life has been pretty stressful, confusing and I haven't been myself..
Needless to say I didn't stick Cohens - getting out of a 5 year relationship is not a great feeling and chocolate fills that empty space so well..lol

But I feel much better and I'm ready to roll again!!
Good news is that I weigh 55.2kgs !!!!! So it's NOT that bad..right? :)

How are you all doing?

Missed you all!!! :grouphug:MWAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
 
Luvbug, you poor thing. A big kiss and hug! :grouphug:

You are still young and gorgeous and you've done really well staying around 55 kg. Hope something lovely turns up in your life soon! Either way, enjoy the teaching, the skinny figure and look after yourself!
 
Owww luvbug!!! We have all missed you dearly and I have been thinking about you and where your at lately. So glad your back to the forum and are still okay.

So sorry to hear about your relationship breaking up, it must have been such a hard time for you! You have done WONDERFULLY to have only 3kg's to go so you should be proud of yourself for not putting on any weight. You will be done and dusted in no time and good on you for re-commiting for the last few kg's, I am sure you will be happier once you rid yourself of them for good.

Just think only good things can happen in life now and being in such a low place from a break-up is a perfect opportunity for something great to happen from here on. Hope your managing okay and remember were all here if you need some support!

Big hugs to you and congrats for being honest and coming on back
xxx take care of yourself sweetheart xx
 
Luvbug-
I'm so sorry sweets but i must be going senile!!
I did not see that you had posted. I have no idea how I did but I did. Not good.
I have been wondering how you were as I missed you so I popped in just to say hi.
I'm very sorry that your relationship has broken up & I hope that your heart is beginning to heal. Don't forget to love yourself Luvbug. It's very important that you tell yourself that you are worthy of unconditional love. Take care sweets & catch up soon, xo Cate

You're so right -- stress is a mean thing. After my break up with my boyfriend things haven't quite went back to normal yet.. Till today! I'm back on track! I can't hide behind that excuse forever..

Remember I was studying last year? Well, I've finished my studies and now I'm a full time high school science teacher!! Hehe!

Hey everyone!

Well, my first day wasn't that bad.. I'm just really sleepy hehe. I had yogurt with half an apple for breakfast, cheese & crackers & mushrooms for lunch and tuna salad for supper. And 2 apples and 5 crackers for snacks.
It just takes some real planning..

dietgrrl -- Thank you so much! I want to lose about ten kgs.. I'm using my old programme, yep. :)

Angel -- thanks! Good luck to you too! I'm teaching at President High.. We will def all support one another :D

Hope everyone is doing well! *hugssssss!* xx
 
Hey Luvbug

Your going to do just great! You should get your ticker up and running again to encourage yourself and all that read your journey.

Remeber we all make mistakes and stress can affect the best of us so dont look back just look forward. I have also made a couple of oopsies at Christmas but I have been back on track now for 5 weeks and feeling much better for it!

It also really does help being busy with work, that way you dont think about food to much! Congratulations on graduating and becoming a teaccher too!!! That is just so wonderful and you must be SO proud of yourself :)

Keep going girl, your going to make it!!
