Well, to start off, I am not happy with myself atm. I have decided to start Cohens again tomorrow, as I have decided that enough is enough.

Before I moved to the US to be with my husband, I was on Cohens and I had lost 22kgs in 5 months....now that weight has started to pile back on and I am devastated:cry:. I bought over all the clothes that fit me when I was smaller, and it is seriously making me depressed....so I am ready to start the journey again!

Anyhow, lets hope that I don't deviate!!!!!

Welcome kellie

Goodluck I know how you feel I'm trying lose as well after gaining a few Kilos. It can be done - it's all about mine set.
All the best with it.

same same but different

Hi Kelli

Yes I too am starting again after several failed attempts.
I am off to Thailand in March 08 for my 5th aniversarry and all I have ever wanted is to look great and comfy in a bikini!! I lost 10kg on Cohens in the beg on year but just struggled to get to refeed - and after gaining 8 back I am very dissapointed and fed up

Here I go again and I am going to succeed and I will do it through Xmas as punishment for not being able to keep it off this year.

I started today and so far so good. I have lots of inspiring pictures around the house for me to focus on at all times.
I felt that my Cohens clinic was not very supportive last time so will try to manage without them
Good luck and I will be checking up on you - Must be even harder in being in the US
Cheers
 
thnaks nans and envigor! It was ages since I posted that....and have yet to start! But I am definately starting tomorrow, so i will be more active in these forums!

Hey Kellie

Hope your first day goes well.

You can do it - in a week you'll be in the zone.

Cheers

Thanks guys! Well, I started today (had to take hubby to hospital yesterday) and so far I am doing ok. I have been keeping myself busy with housework, and I have been drinking water like a champ! The interesting part will be when I cook my hubbys dinner tonight, but I am sure that I will be fine!
 
Stay Focused

Hi Kelli -

Congrats on having the power to get back on track. It's tough to do, so I commend you. Take it one day at a time, one meal a a time.

If you get distracted, try reading or writing.

Take it easy.

PS - Welcome to the US!!!!

Well, day 1 went really well.....stayed busy and I wasn't really that hungry. Had trouble sleeping lastnight (what's new) and I am worried that my lack of sleep will affect my results.
Day 2 (today) is a bit of a struggle-I was expecting it though. I am really tierd and have a massive headache. I was thinking about dipping into the M&M's, but I reminded myself the reason why I am doing this, and have stayed away from them!

Well, that is it for now, I am off to prepare my dinner-chicken and salad.
 
Good For YOU!!!!!!

Congrats on being able to resist the M&Ms. I know how tough it is I LOVE those things!!!!! However, they are not worth it!!!! You'll be able to enjoy them later on (in moderation of course). Keep your head up and stay focused. Have a good weekend.

Hey just wanted to say that reading your posts inspired me to restart my cohens programme tomorrow.
It is soooo hard and hope we all get to our goals soon.

hello. I am not sure if this is still going, but i wanted to vent. I am on the cohens way again, after succeeding and then failing. It seems that i can not change two things in my life, and that is my weight and the other is my stress levels. I have, although it is difficult, that i will succeed. I have to lose 50% of my body fat and i am scared. I guess talkling to you throught this may change that fear into possibility.

I do not understand how i got here. Only here i am and there must be a reason for it. In any event, i hope to be of help to you and for you to encourage me!

Wish me luck guys, my health depends on it!
 
Hi,

This forum is really a wonderful way of helping you stay on the straight and narrow. I wouldn't be able to get through the day without my daily dose of forum. :)

Good luck :)
 
Starting back again....

Hi there....i started my Cohen's diet last yr Nov 29th...and by Apr i was weighing a gd 78 kilos...by the way i started off at a 115 kilos. I dunnoe wat got into me that there was a major deviation and today my scale is tipping at 93 kilos...and thats like 15 kilos piled back on...each time there was a deviation i used to tell myself that i will be back on the diet tomorrow but the tomorrow never came. My acceptable weight is 70 kilos (i m pretty tall for a lady standing tall at 5ft 8in). I'm getting married on Nov and by then i need to get to that 70 kilos from my current weight of 93 kilos..can this be done if i stick back to the programme a 100% and start some form of light physical activity such as walking? i m totally paranoid, worried and really scared. Has anyone gone down after starting for the 2nd time? Kindly advise. Really hoping to hear from u soon!!
 
Hi Fari, You can do it. Don't despair! Just re-focus, go back on the program 100%. Do not deviate at all. You can do it if you want to enough. That's the thing. It's your choice. I hope for your sake that you can, cheers, Cate.
 
Hi Fari,

I was exactly the same as you. I originally started cohens weighing 112kgs and went down to 75kgs (back in 2005/2006). Major deviations and lots of stresses at home saw my weight balloon back up to 116kgs. On 16th May this year I again began my Cohens journey (for the last time), and the original program is working just as well as the first time I completed it. In 12.5 weeks I am now down 23kgs and feeling terrific. I really hope that you can get the motivation to start again as it really does work. Good luck

Thank you so much Cate and rjm

Hi Cate/rjm,
i shld really thank you for lifiting my spirits up again. Truly appreciate it. I started back on Cohen's yesterday (the same day my first post came in here). Successfully completed my 1st day with no deviations. Have stepped into my 2nd day successfully with same zest as i had previously when i was with Cohen's. Hopefully i can bring my weight down to 70 kilos. Keep me motivated ;)

12th Aug 08 - 93kilos. (Will weigh back again at the end of the month and keep you posted) Wish me luck.

Well done Fari. The hardest day is over and you never have to do it again!!! Congratulations. You'll be back at 70kgs in no time at all. I found that I had jumped back on and off Cohens heaps of times during the time it took me to regain the weight but when I started the first time I had this kind of zest (I call it being "in the zone") and this time I started I had the same kind of zest. You just know you can do it. It sounds to me like you are really "in the zone"
Take care
Beck
 
Yeah..the hardest day is over

Hi Beck,
thanks for your post again. Yeah, i got through my first day with no problems but the mental torture to grab something and munch was so high...and as for yesterday my hands started to kinda tremble in hunger in the mid afternoon arnd 5pm...but somehow managed to control and got back home fr wrk, prepared dinner and had it with lotsa water. On to my 3rd day now. Will be weighing on the 19th, which is next tuesday. Will keep u posted. Thank you so much for keeping me motivated. ;)
 
Hi Fari,

The first few days can really be torture but it does get easier so if you can get through this hard time you will find it more bearable. keep up the good work. Before you know it you will find yourself melting away. Do you have any photos of yourself when you were at your skinniest. I found some of my nicest photos and stuck them right in the middle of the fridge and the pantry doors so if ever i was tempted I saw those photos and they reminded me of just how great I felt when they were taken. It worked for me. Might be worth a try.
Keep up the good work
Beck
