MyLastTry2016 Diary

[MyLastTry2016]

Hi Everyone

I'm from South Africa and this is my final attempt (after several attempts) because I believe THIS IS IT!!! In all honesty, this has got to be the best diet by far that has ever worked for me.

Growing up I was a very skinny girl but during my teenage years I started picking up weight uncontrollably and nothing I did to lose weight worked and I have tried almost everything out there. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 19.

I started the plan 3 years ago at a starting weight of 105kgs and I saw amazing results, lost 14 kg's after 3 months which was a great achievement for me (If I hadn't deviated, I would have lost far more). I was really not in the right frame of mind and totally gave it up all together as I wasn't very serious. I tried again a year later but after a week on the program I would give in to temptations, not that I was craving anything. Obviously I picked up weight again and more...

My light bulb moment was at the beginning of this year when I weighed a hefty 122.9kg I have never in my entire life been here and this was truly a wake up call for me and that is when I decided to revisit my consultant and start all over. I am 30 years old, married and want to have children and I believe this eating plan will rectify this problem. I know it works!!! The reason I'm here in this forum is because I want to be accountable to myself foremost and to those around me. Started the plan in January 2016 and have been on and off ever since. I decided to be more serious now. Am so happy that I haven't picked up any weight Every time I go for a weigh in be it weekly or monthly I will be updating my progress as well as my day to day struggles if any and I truly will appreciate any support as I believe this is what will keep me going. My aim is to reach goal weight of 62-68kg as per Dr Cohen meaning I need to lose a total of 60kg's this year. Seems a bit too much if you ask me but it is what it is and I'll make sure I get there this time around.

I am starting a Diary today so I can keep track, so I can see where I began, see where I am going and to look back and see all the hurdles I had to overcome to reach goal weight, a dream I know will materialise.

Here we go!!!

Hi MyLastTry,

I have started today after putting it off. I know this works but you have to be in the right head space. I look forward to reading your journey. I am starting at 111.1kg, my Cohen's goal weight is 60kg but I'm aiming for 70kg. Like you I have a long path to travel and would like to walk with you.

Keep plodding along!
