Hi everyone
I just wanted to say that I've started my weightloss plan today.
I weighed today and found out that I have put on 10kilos!!!!...not good that is for sure.
Anyway I won't be recording anything in here only because I am not following Cohens or any plan if it be known. I am really tired of following plans and falling off the wagon.
I am using the Principals of Cohens though and adding a bit more variety into my plan and also I will be incorporating some exercise into my life.
I will give this a go for a month and hopefully I will see some changes to me.
I won't say goodbye...because knowing me I will probably be back here doing Cohens again.
Thanks for all your support and I wish everyone else the best of luck with their weightloss journeys.
Bye for now - Sam

Hi Sam! Thanks for checking in & letting us know that you're ok. Skinny is not nice. Healthy & slim is much better! There is too much emphasis on being really thin. I see really thin people & feel ill. It's very sad. So nice to hear that you are well Sam. Sending you a great big hug & a kiss, xoxo (or two!) Cate
Hello everyone
Long time since I've posted. I was just re-reading my last post and I'm sad to say I have gained even more weight in recent times:{.
I am not enjoying living in Melbourne. I am missing Brisbane where all my family and friends are.
It's been a difficult few months which I will not go into here but it is these issues that has impacted on my weight and I have been comfort eating like never before.
Anyway I am considering going back on Cohens but mentally I am not ready but I am hoping by coming back in here and reading the diaries I can get motivated once more.
Anyway that is my ramblings.
Take care now - Sam

Hi Sam!
I think that you are doing great! It's awesome that you are so motivated and dedicated. You are an inspiration to us all.
Just a question - Does the Cohen's diet that you where on ban carbs? I've also been a bit weary of carbs. But after I've consulted with my dietitian, she told me that carbs are the fuel of the body and that it gives you energy.
She then placed me on a diet where I am eating much more carbs than usual and she said that it will make me lose weight. So I'll just wait and see.
I am exercising my butt off (excuse my language). I am doing yoga/Pilates classes in the mornings and then I also weight train for 3 days a week, have one ballroom dancing class once a week and my fiancé and I are also going to play squash twice a week.
Good luck, but I think you are doing great. The only thing that I am concerned about is your low carb intake (but that's just my opinion).

Hi Susie
I am not doing Cohens but had been in the past. And my ticker is way off these days.
All the best with what your doing.
I have just popped back into say I have changed my email address so I will not be recieving any emails from here anymore. I might have to rejoin again with my new one I suppose. Any advice on what is the best way to go about this would be appreciated.
Cheers - Sam

Hi all again....I'm back with a new email address so at least I won't lose out on coming in here.
I am seriously thinking of doing Cohens again. I know once I start I can keep my focus.
I am going through a very emotional time atm....not sure why....well many reasons but not anything in particular. Just missing home I suppose.
My weight gain is not helping the issues either I am not binge eating anymore but I know my weight loss extremely slow and this frustrating me to no end.
And I know I shouldn't let my weight gain impact on everything else in my life but I am just alittle unhinged and for some reason I think losing this weight and feeling good about myself will make everything better.
Anyway enough of the depressive talk. Will come back later when I am ready to restart Cohens. I am not looking forward to restarting that ticker again.
Ok bye now and have a great day all - Sam

Thanks again Cate....
I had a weird day of eating....over indulged and I was trying to work out why and think it's due to 2 reasons,....1. We had chinese on the Saturday and I ended up with an upset stomach and was racing to the loo most of the night and 2. We went for a long walk to the beach Sunday and I think that stimulated my hunger pangs. I feel ok today and will try and stay and just as well as I can.
Just to let you all know I have not restarted Cohens yet. I am just eating properely and staying away from processed foods atm.
Ok time to get kids off to School.
Bye for now.

Hi Faithie
Well here goes with what i ate yesterday, i started the day off well and had my yogi and fruit, I nibbled on fruit and rice cackers while out.
By the evening I didn't do so well.....and I am not finished yet pita bread with jam(I didn't have butter)
Sam
Fruit and yogurt is not enough to fill you up (even though you want to lose weight) and it is not very healthy to have as breakfast on its own. Add some fat free muesli with it and you have a complete healthy breakfast that will keep you full and energized. Rice crackers are also not very healthy. They are high GI and will leave you hungry soon after you have eaten them and they also only give you short burst of energy that don't last. Rather have 2 slices of whole-wheat low GI bread with lean protein like chicken or fish and lettuce, tomato and a quarter of avo (if in season). That will keep you full so that you won't binge/eat unhealthy.
PS - I felt exactly like you. I also tried on my size 12 pants only to find it very tight. I didn't weigh myself in a while and when I did (after my pants felt so tight), my weight was also shockingly in the 70's! It made me a bit depressed for a while. But I soon became positive and up for a challenge.
Hope your weight loss goes well!
Hi again
Well I got out my Cohens program last night, but I still have not read it. Will do so though. I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't work. I am just existing from one day to the next while I'm here in Melbourne. I know I should not complain which is why I don't come in here often but I seem to be ultra organised with everything else in my life...but with my weight it is spiraling out of control.
I miss so much of my old life and especially my sister. She is coming to visit me in October, so I can't wait for that.
Anyway I am mentally preparing myself Cohens...I did this last time as well.
Ok that is all for today.
Cate is L-jay still on here??? I can't seem to find her diary either.
