Hi all,

Welcome to the 5K Challenge....the challenge all about losing 5 kilos.

Join in, it's simple, and it's for anyone who:
~needs a kick start
~is struggling to get back on
~has put on a little whilst on maintenance
~new starters
~is a little competitive
~wants to have fun whilst losing

Quote from on of our greats, Cate "[I]The 5kg challenge for whatever stage you're at in your personal weight-loss challenge. No discrimination. If you are on Cohens you will have a head start ahead of those of us who are post re-feed. It doesn't matter. This is a butt-kicking, fun challenge. We're all winners as we lose, whatever it is we lose. It doesn't matter. It's all about fun & friendship, being on the same journey. It doesn't matter what you call this thread Annie. It's open to anyone I think. I couldn't care less if I'm not the winner. To me, it's about finding the motivation to get back on track, focussing on the positive, xoxo Cate."[/I]

So there you have it. Starts Monday the 14th April, pop in and tell us a bit about yourself, how much you weigh or how much you want to lose. Keep us updated regularly with your losses and when you achieve the 5Kilos, stay on, cheer on others or go for another 5.

Let's have some fun with this!

me too

Hi,

My name is bec and I'm on day 8 and feeling very positive about it all. To date I've lost 2.1kg and my goal is 16 which will bring me down to 54kg.

Some things I'm looking forward to:

Going and doing my new clothes shopping trip
Re-feeding
knowing how to go out to a restaurant and then eat at home so its all balanced and I don't put weight on
getting to goal so my hubby and I can have a baby

See ya
 
Woo hoooooooo!!! Bitten, FattyBoombah and Bec - this challenge is gonna rock!
Cohen's is definetely made easier with the support, motivation and inspiration we all get from each other.

The more the merrier, can't wait to start this challenge.

Don't forget to post on Monday or whenever you can with your starting weight or how much you want to lose and we will start counting down from there.

your a genius

Hi Annie Lusion

I have deliberately stayed away from the forum due to feeling a bit defeated...but I won't go into it here, I will go and off load in my diary in a bit. BUT........

Annie you can definitely count me in on this challenge I think this is what I need to get my butt up and atom. I need to lose 5kg plus more.
As most of you will know I am a Cohens graduate from the class of March 2007 I reached my goal weight of 63kg (138lbs) but I have slowly been putting the weight back on and my last recorded weight is 69kg (152lbs) but I am sure it is more now:(.
So I up to the Challenge Annie what a fabulous idea.....you are brilliant!!!!!!:hurray:.

Sam:)
So
 
Annie, You have made me blush! I'm in this for sure. After my week-end in Melbourne I have no idea how much I need to lose to get back to my post re-feed weight, but before the week-end it was exactly 5kg! This is going to be fun!! Welcome all!! I'll weigh & measure in the morning. Cheers fellow Muscateers!xoxo Cate

Hi everyone

I am here and have started the day off well. I will weigh tomorrow I forgot this morning, I am actually a bit scared I know I have gained especially sinced my weekend away at the Coast with my sister. I ate so much that I cannot even explain how my body and mind are feeling (but it is not good).

Will be back tonight, goodluck everyone.
Just incase I don't check in it will be due to the computer, it has been playing up.

Sam:)
 
Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning…..

The starter’s gun has been fired and the challenge has begun!

A bit about me for those of you who don’t know me… I finished my refeed in November 07 but now have 10kg to get back to my happy weight. It was 8kg but since taking on and extra job from Thurs – Sun at the local football club two and a half weeks ago another 2kg has crept on due to steak sandwiches and red frogs – therefore just silliness!!! Anway, I have been eagerly awaiting today since Annie first brought the concept to us after realising some assistance was greatly needed to help motivate and there’s nothing better than a bit of healthy competition!

I’ve tried to get back onto strict Cohen’s a few times over the last 6 weeks just to knock off a couple of kilos before I let it get too far and would be fine through to after lunch but then 3pm would come and the choccies were closer than the panadol to get rid of the detox headache!

I’ve started the day well and very prepared with an egg and musshies and tomato for breakie with my coffee for the day. I’ve got my lunch, crackers and fruit with me and two panadol sitting at the top of my keyboard just in case. Now it’s closer than the choccies and when I actually started the program (in 2 weeks, 12 months ago actually!) I only needed the one dose on the first day! So here’s hoping!

All prepared and ready to see that 5kg disappear! Cant wait to see everyone else’s progress and just remember that when you reach 5kg’s you’ve won… whether you were the first in this thread to get there or not!

Good luck everyone.

Hi, I started Cohens Feb'07, finished Aug '07, losing 36kgs in total. I am now 5.5kg heavier, from relaxing just a little bit too much & not following the maintenence guidelines strictly. They are very sound guidelines & I think I got a bit too cocky & stretched the boundaries too far. My week-end in Melb added .5 of a kilo only (I thought it should be much more!), so the 5kg challenge will bring me only half a kilo over the weight I was really happy at. I am absolutely ravenous I must admit, but feeling bloated after my high carb w/e so am looking forward to losing that feeling. Cheers & happy losing, Cate

*AAARRRRRR LETS GET READY TO RUUUMMMBBBLLLEEEEE*

Tomorrow is one month for me, so will post up exact weight then!!
How does this work? do we post our new weights every week or what?

Lucky to those really new kids, i lost 3.5kg in my first week, so 5 will feel like a breeze (sadly i think im starting to slow down)

HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOO :driving:
 
Hi fellow competitors..hehe

Firstly, let's just make this simple, we are all aiming for 5 kilos/11 pounds, so we just post our losses whenever we want, some weigh daily some weigh weekly, some weigh monthly.

Pop in whenever and post what you have lost and keep a running total from the start date

ie.
Started challenge 14th April,
total loss: 300grams

First one to 5 kilos has bragging rights only because we are all winners here.
So they will get plenty of large font banners, lots of color, dancing smileys and all the fanfare congratulating them.

Once you do get to 5 kilos, you then go for another 5 kilos or you keep posting to cheer the rest of us on.

Sound good? feel free to add to the above

Secondly, Good luck all, I hope we all have a bit of fun with this.

Bitten: Imagine that, winning the challenge in your first week, how cool would that be huh?

Well I am a daily serial weigher so hoping to have my first loss up tomorrow...yeee hawwwwww
Have I mentioned that I am pumped?...Doh !!

Happy Losing

challenge

Hi Guys,

Well I am also a serial weigher and this morning I was exactly 67.5kg. I'll post up todays weight loss tomorrow night.

I changed my ticker so it didn't have food in it - oops!

I'm really looking forward to seeing how everyone goes.
 
Well I made it through day one......whew!!!!!! I sweated this evening a bit though.
This was how my day went:-
1st Meal
Yoghurt and stewed apple and 2 cups of green tea.
2nd meal
Chicken and salad
3rd Meal
Meat and veg soup.
Fluid intake
2 litres of water and only green tea was drank today. I didn't do my crackers I just had a bit more food. I wasn't able to take any carbs today after the weekend.
Weigh in tomorrow and will post new ticker. Also my TOM's arrived today.....timely as ever, so I will be fat and fluid filled - just to make this challenge a bit more challenging!!!!....lol - NOT.
Don't forget to go to bed early and get your weightloss sleep.
Sam:)
 
wooo hoooo

i am on day 6 of my first week.
i will post my weight (a loss, i hope!!!) on wednesday morning.
i have been a multiple weigh a day girl in the past, so weekly is a huge thing for me.
i wanted to to do the '4 week' weigh thing, but i am weak.

good luck EVERYBODY!:hurray:

Morning everyone
Hope day one went well for everyone. Well I remembered to weigh and it aint good folks I have gone up to 72.3kg. But I am not going to change my ticker I am adamant I will see through this 5kg challenge.
On another bad note I have woken up with a head cold/chest infection and my TOM's have arrived..... The Gods and Goddessess are not in my corner of the ring for this challenge are they? - Lol.
Sam:)
 
Aaah poor Nans... hpoe your feeling ok. When it rains it pours huh?

Well im 88.8kg today, so thats my start weight.
Ill update every Tues.

Look forward to seeing that number drop.... :party:
 
Thanks FB

As the story goes....I am unable to continue the challenge due to being too sick, its gotten the better of me.
I just want to collapse into bed, but everytime I've laid down it feels like someone is beating drums in there and can someone please explain why we sneeze so often when we have a cold, my throat feels like someone has taken a razor blade to it.
I will not be defeated though, I will be back and continue this challenge to the bitter end.
Sam:(:)
