New to the programme

[Jothii]

Hi everyone,

I'm Jothii here. First i would like to thank SMS for introducing me to Dr. Cohen's programme.

Before i started Dr. Cohen's programme my weight was 73kg. I've been in the programme almost coming to a month and have lost 5kg. My ideal weight is 54kg.....a long way to go.

Trying my very best.....to stick to the programme. What i need is some kind of motivation.

Thanks

Hi Jothii and welcome!

I'm sure you can find plentry of reasons why are you doing Cohen's - beauty, health, vanity - just look into yourself and you'll find them.

Set yourself small achievable goals for your journey - that way you most likely will keep your motivation stable.

Good luck!

Hi

I need some adivice....on my breakfast. I've been taking mozeralla cheese (Low Fat) with vegetable daily. Is it ok to do that?

[Panda]

Hi Jothii, nice to meet you! A lot of members talk about cheese and how it can slow down weight loss, so not to have it more than 3 times a week as recommended in the plan.

So maybe you should change breakfast each day with your two other options. It's all a bit confusing and takes some getting used to doesn't it? Good luck.

Hi Jothi & welcome - I think our program says to limit cheese to 3 times per week. I am 1 of those who, in spite of my love of cheese, has chosen not to have it as I found I gained weight (overnight) the couple of times I had it, altho by the end of the week it had gone again. On the up side tho, I don't have any problems with the cottage / ricotta cheese.

I don't seem to have any problem with the yoghurt or eggs for breakfast tho. Hope that helps

[Jothii]

Hi Mum Chum

Thanks. I will stick to 3x a week for my cheese in take.

I weigh on 03/05/2010 and have gone down to 66.9kg......just wondering how long will it take to reduce in my tummy area......

Hi good morning

I really need some help... i've been in this program almost a month plus....i'm facing some women problem. Being menstrating almost 3 weeks. This only happened after starting the program. Is it normal?

[foggyduo]

Hey Jothi, in my case, my periods went back to NORMAL within 2 weeks of starting this diet. BUT I had this issue (4 weeks constant menses) about 3 years ago (ie, nothing to do with Cohens, but a lot to do with age - was in late 40's, possibly pre-menopausal). I went to the gynae had a full check up, all OK. Would recommend strongly you go see your gynae.

[Jothii]

Hi Sheila

Thanks for sharing with me.

Before i started my program....my periods were normal and i'm in my late 30s. I guess i better fix an appt with my gynae.
