Hi Gals! Nothing to report yet as I haven't weighed today. I woke up this morning with the menopausal bloats so steered clear of the scales. I vary a lot from day to day. 2kg in 2 days is not uncommon. I am not being 100% original Cohens. It's more a somewhere in between maintenence & original Cate program. If it doesn't work I'll have to try really, really hard to go 100% Cohens as I know that works. This is a good idea & I hope it gives most people an emotional, positive boost. I'm flirting with the challenge & haven't got serious yet. Perhaps weighing in the morning will make me commit! Cheers all, xo Cate

Hi folks. I got on the scales fearing the worst & I've lost 500g. Phew! What a relief. I thought I was going to be the first to put weight on in the 5kg challenge. Now I'm serious! That may not sound logical, but I find something positive spurs me on. Cheers, Cate.
(Plain yoghurt & fresh mango for breakfast- Yummee!!)
 
Hi folks

thanks for the get well wishes.....the timing is sure crappy. I may still win this challenge though, not being able to eat when your sick is the only light at the end of the tunnel, the sore throat, body and head are not.

Hi gals

Well day 2 scale hopping has brought me much joy - 1.3kg. Yesterday it was 300g which I was happy with and anticipated no movement due to not following 100% so was exstatic to see my first decent scale movement. Now more motivated than ever. Will explain more in diary as would prefer to keep it short and sweet in here.

Well done to everyone so far!

Have a great day!

Congrats to annie, bitten, Lauren and wannabeslim.
I am still not good...worse actually so I am off to the Doctors. My throat is so sore I can't talk.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
Sam:)
 
another 300g for bec

Hey,

Well this morning brought another 300g and brings me to a total of 1.1 for the challenge and 3.6 in total.

I love cohens, on weight watchers some weeks I wouldn't even get 300g!
 
Bec- way to go, you're doing great!
Bitten- 1st week loss on Cohens a whopping 4.5 kilos...wow you gotta love that huh? Might need to calculate how much of that was from challenge start date as your challenge weight loss.

I am down 800 grams - still waiting to hit the 1 kilo mark - been slow and i know why but a loss is a loss right?

Sam: thanks so much for cheering us on from the sidelines, can't wait for you to get here. Hope you're feeling better.

have a great weekend all.

challenge update

Well its another 300g off for bec, bringing me to a total of 1.4k for the challenge and 3.9 in total. Today I am going for a very leisurely bike ride so tomorrow should be even better.
 
help.

hi annie-

how do i calculate my loss as i only weigh once a week?
i started cohen's on april 9th.

any ideas?

thanks
bitten
 
help

Hi Bitten,

count the divide your weight loss by 7 - this gives you an average for each day, then count the days that were in the challenge until your weigh in day - so if you lost an average of 600g each day and you were in the challenge for 5 of those it would be 3000g which is 3 kilos.
 
Hi bitten,

Exactly what Bec said, you have lost a total of 4.5 kilos in a week divide by 7 days = 640 grams then multiply by days on challenge, I think that may be 3 days on challenge so total loss is 1.9 kilos. Whatever your next loss is when you weigh, add to 1.9 kilos and that will be your loss on challenge so far. Hope I have not confused you, I tend to do that alot...doh

Off cohens for a week :(

Hi all,

I am officially off cohens as of today and for one week only. I will be fasting for Greek Orthodox lent and in this period certain foods are not eaten. No meat, no dairy...impossible to do Cohens without these two food groups.

It's Greek Easter next Sunday and I will be back on cohens next Monday 28th. I am not going to bother weighing myself. I will be cheering you all on in the challenge though so keep it up ladies, hoping more will join us.

Have a great Cohens week!

TTFN
