OOOH! Welcome Dreamer!!!

I'm so pleased to see you registered!

We've been having 'teething problems' with other people registering. I know Brieziel has had problems getting registered

I'm looking forward to getting everything sorted!

If there's anyone else who can't get registered, please email me at:

Well done asy and you as well lessfatty. Tried to register the other day when you must have been having your glitches, lol.

Lonniecee, I'm so pleased you persevered and finally were able to register!

Hopefully others who may have had problems will try again now!

WOW quite a few new members in the last day or two, WELCOME everyone, come in and introduce yourselves!

Kristine, a special welcome to you! For those who don't know, Kristine is the reason I'm on the Cohen Programme. We're both on another forum (along with a few others that hang around here, like lessfatty and heavenlylamb) and after reading her thread on that forum about her success on the programme, I was inspired to start.

Well apart from a slight hiccup with registration it looks like it's working now. Thanks LF for sorting my pw issue out!

Asy - despite all the crap you have gone through, your dedication is so admirable.

LF - when is your wedding? Also, is there a reason you have a GW below the Cohen GW? Sorry if you have answered this before... I was just curious.

[lessfatty]

Wedding, what wedding? I am not even divorced ... yet !
Just joking I was married a little after my 25th birthday, I am now 39! So that was 14 years and 2 children and 1 country ago

I married when I was 91 KG, I am 91.9 KG right now so that GW will be reached soon.

Well if you look at my body right now you will see that I am not slim nor trim. So even at 90KG (Cohen goal) I will still be a little bit chubby, of course being chubby is 100 times better than obese. However the australian recommended weight range for 187cm guy is 76~88KG, so I will aim to hold for 80KG or 15% body fat. I also know that the more fat you have on your body the more hormones that are produced that make you body want to get fatter. So if I finish with 15% body fat then I believe I will have the best chance possible of maintaining the weight over the long term. I am really scared that I will get fat again!

Just thought I'd get a feel of the board.

Registered my husband and I...but they aren't starting again until January. We are both overweight, but he has other medical problems. When I read the list of symptoms on the Cohen Website, they fit him to a T. His Dr. suggested a gastric bypass, to lose the weight quickly, to help with his other medical problems. I'm hoping this is the answer instead.

Welcome Mrs C. Goodluck to you and your hubby. I think you'll be great support for each other. My other half is doing it with me too - so you can share your frustrations, boredom and good times together!

Try not to do too much damage over the silly season!

I'd say a change in lifestyle is a much better option than a change to the internal organs - that's for sure!

See you in the New Year!
