Hello everyone,

I wanted to start my own diary cause i thought that it would be an excelent way of sticking to the cohens programme. You see I figure if people are out there looking at my thread I will have to have inspiration news to tell people, anyway it seems like a great idea, so wish me look.

I started dieting soon after my baby was born, I simply didn't want to be an obese mummy, I wanted to have the energy to run and play with my daughter. So I started walking and dieting, (weight watcher points) I fopund that it was too easy to cheat on weight watchers, have a choc bar and just add it into my points, and it would turn into a choc bar and going out for dinner ect... but anyway I was looking through a magazine and saw the amazing add for cohens. I honestly thought it was too good to be true.
So I checked out the website, an was so amazed and gave Sue a call. and she was so helpful and told me all about the programme and booked me in for a info session. And I joined that day, got my blood tests done the next day and I eagerly waited for my programme to be made just for me.

So here I am and i have now been on the programme for 7 weeks and am doing so well I now weigh 84kilos and hopefully by next week even less.

My goal is to be around 58 - 60 kilo's so I hope to reach that by my 29th birthday in February.

I'll talk to you all soon.

I'll try to put pics in as i go to.

Hello

I started cohens 7 weeks ago but i lost 12 kilo's on my own so it's 14 on cohens i think. well i'm 84 kilo at the moment, i wish i lost 3 kilos a week.s

anyway i'll keep you all posted i'm going to weigh my self tomorrow morning so fingers crossed.

I do measure myself too but the way i see it is i can't order my refeed till i'm at lease 64 kilo's so i just like to see the kilo's come off. I can see in my clothes that i've lost cm's

anyway bye for now.

Hello

I still feel really large. i look in the mirror and see the same old me but everyone says how good i am looking, I have started putting pictures of me on the mirror so every month a new one goes up so i can see how i am changing, good idea.

Dianne
 
Hello

Well have had my blood test and weigh in. And today I weigh 82.6 kilo's.

Was hoping for a little more but oh well.. Was feeling really good today, until i took my monthly before and after photo's and now I just feel really fat. Anyway i'll post them any way, cause I promised I would.
Hopefully this month will be a greater loss.

Dianne


 
82! Woohoo!!!!

WOW! 82kg that's fantastic! Wasn't that long ago I remember you being excited about 96kg.

Your pics look great. You've lost heaps around your face, neck and shoulders etc. It's hard to see from the whole body shot, as it's pointing up and that always makes you look bigger than you are!

Block of Monday 27th in your calendar. I think we're going to have to have a trip to DFO! I have to bite the bullet with a pair of togs - and quite frankly, if you keep this up you're going to need a new wardrobe!

Keep up the good work,
Linda
 
hmmmm we'll see. Maybe we should go to chermside!!!

Hello All and yummymummy2b

Well I'm fully over the daily weighing myself, today as usual I rushed to the loo then got all nakey then weighed myself and I have gone up a little,,, ggrrrrrrrrr so not fair..... So that's it NO MORE WEIGHING except for once a month. I can't handle it anymore, far to depressing.

So anyway to day is a new day and I'm going to make sure I weigh within my 1 gram weights and try to drink 4 - 5 litres of water. Thats surely gotto do something. Well here's hoping anyway.

I think i'm mostly dissapointed cause last time I weighed this much I was actually smaller, I don't think it's helping having a little stretched belly from been pregnant 6.5 months ago..

I was told by the clinic I should lose all my weight in the 12 weeks,, I so don't think so, the way i'm going I'll still trying to lost by this time next year... gggrrrrrrrrrrr

Anyway if anyone has any u bute ideas on how to hurry this up, it would be muchly appreciated, I'm going into the clinic tomorrow to buy there vitimins just in case that's it, but anyway gonna go now, am babysitting today, another baby as well as my own little treasure.

talk to you all later.

I think the only way for you to hurry it up is for you to calm down and enjoy the ride to a slimmer you. Enjoy each day, welcome each day as each day you will lose a little more weight and you will be a little closer to your goal. Where you are now is MUCH better than where you where, enjoy it. I know the end cannot come soon enough (for me too), but I didnt go from being thin to fat in 4 months, it took me 10 years!

Which dill in which clinic said you would lose all your weight in 12 weeks? Why set someone up for disappointment with unrealistic expectations. For ladies 1KG per week, and any extra eg. 1.5KG/week is a bonus. Some lose more but I feel this is above average.
 
who was that last post directed at?

You seem to have answered LF's post in your second to last post, I can't work out who the last one was to?

asy :D
 
It was directed to less fatty, it looks like his other post has been deleted.

Well hello everyone

well another new day, and yes I resisted the scales this morning. Yeah for me.

Had a great day yesterday, and drank lots of water and measured everything oh so carefully, I made a yummy sweet curry chicken for tea last night and it was so good.

Well today is also looking out to be great, tomorrow might be a challange i'm having a dinner party and am cooking everyone something delicious but i'm planning on been strong and haveing my allowances all measured out ready to cook after i make very yumm dilldy umcious food..lol

Hey asyoz when do you go to see sue next. Iwas going to go tomorrow but they short on vitamins so going up nest week now..
Well have a great day to all. And as Linda always says to me (a friend of mine) skinny thought everyone....
Di
 
I'll see sue probably next Monday, maybe Tuesday. I have to go in to the city on Tuesday anyway, so maybe I'll go on the way in.

Will be interesting to see how much I've lost, hopefully I'll be under 115.

asy :D
 
Hello

Yeah for sure, you'll be way under that I think. Good luck with it.

I don't go in to get weighed, i do it at home and ring in.

Hello Everyone

Well I made it through the dinner party, I had a little taste of the desert and gee's it was good, but the small taste was enough, I guess your taste buds do change.

I've been really good sticking to my programme very strictly since then aswell, I nearly caved today as I had an invitation to go to sizzler's for dinner for a friends birthday and I so wanted to go but I would have eaten more than my allowance so I declined but the dinner I had tonight was so yummy, I didn't feel deprived in anyway.

I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow even though I said I wasn't going to, I feel positive and know that I will have a loss.

Talk to you all later.
Di
 
Hey Di,

You did really well not going to Sizzler. Taking yourself out of situations where you know you'll fail is half the battle.

asy :D
 
Hello

Thanks asyoz, I think even if I did go i would have still felt like something naughty today, and the next day, one little fix doesn't cure us for a week or month, I am however planing on having a day off for xmas, i'm not going to go silly but I don't want to be measuring food everywhere I go either. Plus it's once a year.

Anyway I just go back from walking to the shops which is a brisk 25 min walk to get formula for my baby, then i decide to walk to the other shopping centre, and I though hmmm I'll have a look in Warehouse for fashion and see if there is anything I like that I might fit into one day, I found a pair of shorts that i thought would be nice now the weather is warming up and guess what a pair of size 14 shorts from there fitted comfortably i nearly cried, i wanted to run up to the girl in the shop and say wow i finally fit into your clothes wahooooo.

I've also noticed how differently people treat me now, I can't believe losing some weight can make people see you so differently, it's like all of a sudden i'm human or something, hmmm sorry if thats sounds silly but i don't feel like that huge fat girl that eveyone is staring at now.. Maybe it's just me changing inside, and changing how I feel about myself now.

Anyway i think I've babbled enough, before I go I weighed myself today and I am now 81.4 kilo's, I'm 1.4 off of what I weighed when I met my hubby, yeah nearly at my first goal. I'm very inspired today, and feel really happy within myself, and that is a great acheivement all on it's own.

Dianne.
 
Hello everyone

Well after my feeling fantastic for the day i ended up been pretty sick that night, was so dizzy and felt so light headed, was not good could not look up or down without going week at the knees. I couldn't even pick up my daughter. I ended up having some sweet plain biscuits to try and get my sugars back up but I then started to get the shakes so I had a few spoonfuls of ice cream and i didn't even enjoy it, but after 4 hours I felt kinda normal again, same thing happened the next day and had to get something to get my sugars up again. I felt really bad for breaking my eating plan but, I can't be passing out when I have a very young child to take care of.
My consultant said it would have been because I did all that walking and probably cause it was that time of the month.

So I have learnt my lesson... Well and truly.

Today I am feeling great, I haven't weighed myself to see what damage I did on those 2 days but am not going to worry myself over it. Today is a brand new day, and I am that one day closer till I reach my goal.

I have a family BBQ to go to on the weekend at my mother's and I told her that I would bring my own lunch and she said I have salad here you can have and had to explain once again that salad is good but I have to weigh my food and I can't have some salad items. any way I think she got over it, I just hope people don't try and push food onto me. I'm self prepared if they do. I'll politely tell them no thankyou, and hopefully for there sake they will stop there.

My family aren't to bad with that, I find that my MIL is the worst saying things like oh is that all your having, when I did Jenny Craig I was allowed loads of vegetables, Vegetables don't make you gain weight you know, here have some more...... gee's woman get a life... We have to go round there this weekend too but i'm prepared for her too.

This is going to be the last time I have to lose weight and after this the taste of been skinny will be so worth it. I can't wait....

Well anyway enough for now, hopefully next week i'll be a little bit closer to my 1st major goal yeah for me.. I'll keep you all posted.
