Hi Kerryn

Welcome to the forum and to Cohens. There are many here who hadn't used a forum before starting here and they are 'old hands' at it now. Just ask questions and someone will answer them for you. Have a read of some diaries and think about starting one for yourself - we are all here to help and encourage - but be warned - the forum is addictive!

Andrea

Hi Kerryn,

You've come to the right place - on MANY levels....

First, you are in the "New Members" area - which is a great place to just "try stuff" - we really don't mind. Think of it as a "sandpit" - where you just "do whatever you want to do"....

That could be:-

1. Add a ticker, and check it out
2. Make a post - just to be sure that it works as you thought it should
3. Ask questions
4. Introduce yourself
5. Try a Reply to others in here

etc.... So just try stuff, and get familiar - no probs at all.

One post that always helps new people is this one (just click on the link below)
http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9808

Just get familiar - any new venture can be a bit scarey, but really, we don't bite unless you ask us REALLY nicely.... So, just have a go.

Once you become a bit more confident, do check out all the other areas too (like New Diaries, as Andrea suggested).

Do check out the "stickies", too, as they may well answer a lot of early questions you might have.

And welcome,
Koh

Welcome, Kerryn. You've made the right choice both with starting Cohen and joining the forum. Everyone here is extremely supportive and encouraging, and will understand how you are feeling at any stage far better than anyone else you know.

Back again to do it all over again, starting from exactly the same weight as last time.
My health is not good and my doctor is predicting all sorts of nasty things if I don't lose weight.
What else do I do? I help people make money and I help people save money. Please take a look at http://www.acnlinks.clancie.com.au/
Back again for the support. Still think the diet and the forum are the best ever, but too old to do it again. Now losing again slowly on maintenance diet. Ticker shows next intermediate goal only (5 kilos).

Hi Kerryn, and welcome to the forum!

I am still only new (although the amount of posts I make says otherwise LOL)! I promise you will not find a more friendly or supportive bunch of people!

Look forward to seeing you around the forum,

Alli

Hi Kerryn
Enjoy the journey it is really worth it, the first few days you might have the detox with the headaches etc, they can be bad but once they are over then you are over the worst of it and it is all full steam ahead.
