Cohen's Lifestyle Minny's road to Skinniness!!!

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
Minny you are doing so well - 1kg loss over easter is fantastic. You sound like myself when it comes to cooking for others, I get a real kick out of it. I love nothing more then a few hours to myself in the kitchen preparing yumo treats for friends. They are so delighted when I arrive with a few cupcakes or a slice for their pantry - must be a nurturing instinct to want to feed people as long as we remember to not self feed along the way!!LOL
Anyway well done and yes thank goodness easter is gone for another year.
 
Way to go Minny...great effort over Easter!
I have been scared to weigh myself over these last few days - not that I have deviated but Aunt Flo (TOM) has been in town...grrrr to her!
It is such a wonderful feeling when you reach double figures, especially if you have been in triple figures for a while as I had been ....you are so nearly there....wooo hoooo!!

Hi Minny

You must be so proud of yourself losing a kilo over easter.....and resisting all those yummy treats you cooked. I love watching everyones progress here and enthusiasm for this programme.

Congrat's once again.

Hi minny,

I have just read your diary well done on your monthly weight loss you did better than me i only lost 6kg.

Also well done on not touching easter eggs you must be determined. But i would be to if you get the big prize at the end:) I hope that i will lose more weight on the 24th when i weigh in but since i had a bit of chocy i might not.

Keep up the good weight loss.
 
Thanks for the comments everyone. You're all doing so well.

Just popped in quickly to do a ticker update coz i had a little sneaky peak at the scales this morning...and i've lost another kilo since Tuesday morning... YAY FOR MINNY...lol. I'll be at those double figures hopefully by this time next week at the rate i'm going, as long as the weightloss doesn't slow down..hehehe.

Happy losing everyone....xxxx
 
16th April, 2007 - Completed Week 6

Well, that's another week done and dusted. Not much to report today. Everything is going amazingly well, and i'm starting to really see the changes in my body....so is my hubbby ;)

I've been pretty much sticking to the same meals lately - yoghurt for breakie, tuna mixed with celery and tomato with a spash of red wine vinegar for lunch and either warm steak or chicken salad with a splash of balsamic, but last night i made some chicken and zucchini soup and it was delish, so there might be a few more soups on the menu now that we're getting into the cooler weather.

I'm so excited to think that by the end of this week i'll be under the 100kg kilo mark.....double figures....WOW...haven't seen those in a long time. I just can't believe how easy this is!

Still haven't had any deviations to date, and haven't been tempted by anything which for me is truly amazing. My 'old' thinking would have been that 'a small taste won't hurt'....boy, do i know how wrong i was back then. A new 'me' is starting to appear and i like her very much. I'm so proud of myself.....OMG...just imagine what i'm going to be thinking about myself once i lose the rest of this weight...i'll be loving myself stupid...hehehe.

To all of you reading my little journey, thank you and good luck with your programs. Keep on losing that weight and lets empower each other with the thoughts that 'WE CAN DO IT'!!!!

Happy losing everyone....xxxx :)

Hi Minny,

I've seen you around the forum, so I thought I'd visit your diary. I haven't read all 4 pages yet, but I will! You're doing great. I want to be just like you when I grow up. :)

I'm so sorry to hear of your fertility troubles. I'm sending lots of good thoughts and prayers your way. I hope this weight loss will be exactly what you need. By the way, I took Clomid, too. What a nightmare. Dr said I had polycystic ovaries and endometriosis. I took clomid and lupron and had surgery. Still no baby. I finally decided I just wasn't meant to be a mom, decided to be thankful for my stepson and accept that he would be the only child in my life. Six months later I was pregnant! Nature, God, fate... whatever you believe in, it truly does work in mysterious ways. Never give up hope!!!
 
Thanks very much BFNM, and yes, Hope is never far away. This is my one life changing experience that is only going to get better once i'm finished. Good luck to you and I know you'll do great!!!
 
23rd April, 2007 - Week 7 Completed

Well, I've only got 2 words to say:

DOUBLE FIGURES​

YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY

Can you tell that i'm stoked! I never thought i would see double figures ever again and for it to have happened so quickly....well i'm rapt!

The weeks are starting to roll into each other now and i'm cruising along. I was kinda hoping for a 2kg weekly loss, but i think i was over estimating myself there, and i'm now at a point where i'm happy with the rate that i'm losing.

I also scored myself a job, which starts on Thursday, so i'm a little scared about putting my Cohens life into play with work life. It's an office job, so i pretty much just have to work out my water intake throughout the day and try and get some balance so that i'm not taking toilet breaks every 5 mins. So I think i just have to work out how much i can drink before work and after work (so i still can sleep all night) and how to space out the rest during the day. The other thing is going to be having to take time off for Blood tests. I'm sure they won't mind, but you never know. I said to hubby the other day...'you know if they have a big problem with me going for blood tests and it comes down to the job or Cohens, you know what i'm going to choose, don't you?'.....his immediate response was 'Cohens - yeah, I know'...It should be right though. They know i'm on the program, and it's not like it's going to be forever now, is it?. I worked out that if i'm finished by the end of October, then there is only 4 or 5 tests in this time...I'm positive it will be fine...actually, I KNOW it will be fine....POSITIVE THINKING MINNY!!!!

Of course i had to go out over the weekend and get myself a pair of pants and a few tops to wear to work - coz i had nothing - and I actually ENJOYED shopping. Now that is something i have hated doing for so long. Hubby noticed it too, and i told him that he'd better look out when i'm at goal weight, coz i'll become a shop-a-holic..lol. I think he was a bit worried...hahahahaha.

Well that's about it for me. I won't be around quite so much because of work, but i'll try and get on of an evening or over the weekends, so my weekly journal may not be updated on a Monday, but i'll try my hardest.

Thanks everyone...and HAPPY LOSING!!!!!!

Congratulations on double figures!! Isn't that a great feeling?:D Congrats also on the new job. Well done!! Life just gets better and better. Your new work place shouldn't mind you taking time off to go for tests. I have found that if you explain why then you get encouragement. Most people are very supportive when they know what you are doing. It's a very positive thing! Well done!!xo Cate
