Here I am at the launch of my new life. My daughter and I have just joined this amazing group of supportive people. We have been inspired by my sister ( Mum Chum) who you all know. She shown such courage and determination and her results are proving it and as a family we are all so proud of her. I can only imagine when she attains goal and refeed who she will be. I suspect - UNSTOPPABLE ! Now for my own journey with a daunting 26.5kg to shatter. I commenced the program intrepidly 7 days ago and over the last few days I have been following all your posts and coming to the realisation that this may just work for me as well. So I week down and 2.3kg gone forever. That for me is a huge encouraging start. I look forward to getting to know you all. Mum Chum has only ever raved about the support and comraderie you all have. It is awesome.

Welcome Deelight. Would love to be a fly on the wall at your family's place next Christmas - you will be the best looking family in town!

You will probably all give each other new fabulous clothes for presents

Welcome Deelight. I am only a little ahead of you (into my third week) and already seeing and more importantly feeling results - better mood, more energy, more positive outlook on life....I am sure you will quickly get all this too. The other huge bonus i have found is that food has become secondary very quickly (mainly becuase there is little choice so the addiction of it seems to be lessening) HUGE bonus in my books.

shuki · #7 10-02-2010, 14:14

Oh and i had to giggle at Jlou's Christmas comment as i imagined a family all sitting down to their individual Cohen's meals for Christmas (although i realise you will all be off it by then!)

giddyupgirl · #8 10-02-2010, 14:36

Congratulations on taking the first steps towards the new you, your first weeks weight loss is brilliant, well done. I hit the 28kg lost this morning,

you will lose your 25 in no time and be able to buy yourself some sexy new winter clothes. I look forward to reading about your journey

Mum Chum · #9 10-02-2010, 23:14

Oh wow - think I'm blushing,

haha

It will be so good to not be the only 1 eating her own food at future family events lol (altho there can't be many left) hahah,

But- a huge welcome.

Deelight · #10 10-02-2010, 23:43

Phew -
Jlou - I had already checked out your profile/ photos! You look amazing
Laura 14 kg gone and in such a short time 'you rock'
Shuki - no doubt Shuki in a couple of months we will also be encouraging the new guns. I imagine Christmas and us all skinny and trendy. Put a smile on my dial as well that comment did!
giddyupgirl - 28 kg ! ! ! !congratulations, how fabulous are you. You inspire me
Mum Chum - you definitly have played a part in being our solution. I am in awe
ps: now how do I get that little train to move. He doesnt belong at the station any longer.

Mum Chum · #11 11-02-2010, 00:20

Click on him and it will take you back to where you set up your ticker and you edit him by putting in your new details. (Did you take a starting photo - good to look back on as time goes past).

Deelight · #12 11-02-2010, 00:28

The train is out of the station - YAHOO
Photos - aggh shall take one tomorrow

Welcome Deelight!

Congrats on joining the programme! You will love the results!
I've met your lovely sister and will meet her again on Sat at the Brisbane meet up! She has done so well, and I'm sure you will too!
Well done on your losses so far! I trust your daughter is also doing as well as you!

Be prepared to be amazed by your transformation!

Vee

Deelight · #14 12-02-2010, 15:54

Thanks Vee. The support is terrific. I love the fact that everyone encourages and supports each other. I am coming Sat also so look forward to meeting you all. Cheers

Hi Deelight

Welcome to the Cohens train. That is a good loss for the 1st week. When I was looking at your pic I thought you had stolen Mum Chums!!! But sisters so there you go. Defintely take some pics and post in the album section. They certainly make you realise how your body has changed expecially if you think your not losing weight fast enough. Good luck with the journey, you should be fine.

Cheers Bronnnie

jlou · #16 11-02-2010, 14:09

*blush* thanks Deelight - I will put up the swimsuit before photo when I am mentally ready to do that. It hides nothing!!

Are you in Brisbane? If so I hope you are coming to coffee on Saturday. I am so excited to meet others on this journey (and bring some clothes to swap - including some that are too small for me still but I have decided I don't want to wear again anyway)

Deelight · #17 19-02-2010, 11:53

Start date: 04/02/10 just 2 weeks YIPPEE ! !
Start Weight: 86.7kg
Today's Weight: 81.3kg
Loss to date: 5.4kg

Well I have to say I am really happy that this is working! I cant believe I am nearly at the 80kg mark. Has been ages - ha , probably a few years since I have visited the scales down there. Its interesting this thing I call my portion control eating plan! When I think of it as a specially designed prescription in my head I take it more seriously. Also when I know that if I didnt address my excess it was only going to create future problems for my health and so here I am. Actually, I am not finding it too bad at all. I love the fact my body is being balanced and can feel the difference even at this early stage. I have become aware of HABITs obviously that are now glaringly obvious. Like: popping that extra piece of WHATEVER into my mouth rather than the bin, Taste testing everything ! ! ! - I mean to say, can you serve it if you dont know if it tastes just right. Well - right now thats actually how you get it in my home. I have literally had to take something out of my mouth as I just popped it in without thinking. Aggg - wonder why the kgs were increasing???
I really enjoy reading everyones posts but my computer is being painful - sometimes I feel I am taking little nana naps whilst waiting for a page to load. Hence I dont always respond when I would love to . Anyways - onwards and down wards. Till next time: to be continued

Mum Chum · #18 19-02-2010, 11:57

Well done - thats exciting - am just a wee bit envious. Now you have to change your ticker - actually I think its better to do before you post lol - but thats ok, once you change it, it will change everywhere anyway - amazing what technology can do. Sorry I can't help with speeding up your computer tho lol

Deelight · #19 19-02-2010, 12:07

Oh my goodness - you are fast. How could you be envious - look at you,

You are amazing.

You are responsible for giving me the courage to give this a go. So pat yourself on the back. every other program has been tooooooo hard - this is so easy once you get in the grove so I am very grateful. If I ever go to deviate I think , this is going to cost 10 years less of enjoyment of grandchildren. Ha - the way I am going I will have to wait that extra 10 years to even get em....... Lucky you !

Mum Chum · #20 19-02-2010, 12:13

ROFL (re the grandchildren) - but thanks for the pat on the back.
