Cohen's Lifestyle Sams weight loss journey part.....2

Prefix for Cohen's Lifestyle
Wow Sam - 7 kgs in the first month?? And on your own?? Woo-hoo, you must be thrilled!!!:hurray:

Like Kurl, I'd like a time machine.....only on day 7 today, and already finding it a struggle!!!

I read a Jillian (Biggest Loser) quote the other day that said "You think this is gonna come easy? NO - you have to work damn hard for it!!!!!!!" I imagined her screaming that at me :smilielol5: and I thought 'She's right ! I do have to realise that I have to work for it.'

You seem to have very much 'got' that this time , realising that you need to eat this way most of the time, even if it's sometimes not easy. It's so great for a beginner to hear that it works - so well - and I look forward to reading about your continued success - oh, and hopefully joining you in succeeding!!!:D
 
Hang in there Sam! You are going well, and 7kg down is fantastic!
 
Hello all

just a qucik drop in.

Sadly my mum passed away unexpectedly last tuesday and the funeral was monday. It has been such a surreal time and we are all just trying to keep it together as much as possible especially for our dad.

I won't be around as much at the moment due to just being there for my dad.
Weight wise i have probably lost.....no appetite at all.

Anyway i'd better go lots to do around here.

All the best - sam.
 
Oh Sam, I am so sorry. Thanks for letting us know. That was very thoughtful of you. Sending you lots of hugs, xoxo Cate
 
So sorry to hear about your sad time, Sam. I wish I'd known and sent you a PM. Hope you are able to find some comfort with family and friends who rally round at times like this.
 
Oh Sam, I am so sorry, sending love to your family at this difficult time. Take care of you and yours, especially you, Shine XX
Thanks for letting us know.
 
Thank you everyone....I appreciate all your kind thoughts and words. I hope to "try" and get back into Cohen's again soon. Not eating well at all atm. Last week I couldn't really eat or keep anything down but now I am leaning on the carbs and sugars to get me through my days for the energy. I am so very tired but I can't really stop until we have all Mum's things in order. I think my Dad will be able to settle then too. We are all worried for him as you can imagine.

Anyway once again thanks for your well wishes and will pop back again soon.

Samxo.
 
Hi Sam

Just checking in to let you know I'm thinking of you and I hope you and your family are coping okay. Take it easy. All my love, Kristy xo
 
Hi Sam, I hope you are enjoying the school hols with your family and that your sadness is starting to fade just a little. I'm sending lots of love your way, xoxo Cate.
 
Hello everyone:waving: what a lovely bunch you have all been. Yes I am doing alot better now, thanks.
So much to tell you and I haven't a clue where to start.

Well it's been 4 months since my Mum's passing.....and during this time we have made an interstate move to Melbourne!!!!.....like I said so much to tell.

Anyway the reason was due to a job change, my hubby was head hunted for this position and all this was happening the week of my Mum's passing!!!!!!.....
Well after the funeral and deciding that we were going to move it has just been full throttle.
We ended up cancelling our holiday to New Zealand so we could go to Melbourne and find a place to live and a School for the kids.....anyway to cut a long story short we found a place and school and I decided to move early so that the kids could start at their new school with everyone at the beginning of term which was the best decision because they are really happy and settled now......the downside was staying in apartments for a month until our house became available. So that is the short version.
I am missing my Dad alot, I was there for him right up until the kids and I left.
Very sad time.....i don't know if I could have moved if the timing of everything was different.

Moving along to the weight issue.....well it is not good:ack2:......I started stress eating just before we moved here and it has esculated since then. I have not weighed but I know that i have gained big time:angelsad2:
I look back at my weight ticker here and see how well I'd done prior to everything happening.
Anyway it's time to get things moving along again.....once Easter is over.

I am not sure if I am going to go back on Cohens....not sure what I am going to do as yet.....still deciding. But I know I cannot go on the way I am. I am so out of control. (I know I said I am not going to go back on it but I pulled it out my plan and it's been sitting on my coffee table for the past 2 weeks:eek:)

Ok then I will try and come back again once the kids have returned to School and let you know what I am going to do.

Thanks once again everyone for your best wishes - Sam:)
 
Sam! Great to have you back on the forum, have missed your posts and following your journey.

Thats great news on the move, glad you and your family are settling in and enjoying it. Sounds like it was a good move for you guys :)

The only advice I have on the weight issue is to get back on the scales and be accountable for the few months off plan, and do your best to get back on track whether it be on the cohens plan or general healthy eating and incorporating some exercise. I hope you can find the strength and motivation to do this for yourself because you really deserve to feel and look great Sam. You were doing wonderfully and I know you can do wonderfully again when ever you're ready to take it on. You have had a hard few months. Us ladies are here to support you with whatever you decide to do, you always have a friend here on the forum (or several!).

Take care and keep us updated on how you're going Sam, great to have you back.

K xoxo
 
Sam, I think a clean break will do you good. Melbourne is a great city to live in when you're young. I still love it & always will I think. Re deciding which plan to try to get to where you want to be weight-wise. Which one worked for you Sam? I know that you have tried many things & much has happened in your life but I think that you will agree that Cohen's worked best for you. Now that you have settled why not really give it your best shot? We will all be here for you Sam. I will be here for you. You can do it sweets, xo Cate
