PurpleLady"s Diary

[Purple Lady]

Hi Everyone,
I started Cohen's on the 8th Sept and have lost 15kgs YEAH!!!!. I have been into read other diaries and that has helped me so much , so i thought it was about time i started mine. I am really looking forward to a new skinny me, it makes it so much easier to keep going when you see the scales going down, i still have a long way to go but i am very determined, because i can't wait to see the new me.

Thank you
Purplelady

Those diminishing scale numbers are a great incentive aren't they.

Hey pretty lady! I'm finally back, and just caught up with your diary! So glad that things are going smoothly for you! I hope that your weightloss won't slow down at all! It's very individual though. I'm one of the really slow ones. Mind you, that just means that I'll set a record in dancing mangos in my sig! Keep up the great work!

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and deviation free day.

YEAH!!!! I am finally over the half way mark and very proud for myself, which was enough motivation to keep me deviation free yesterday.

I can't wait until i am in the eightes which will not be far away. I have my 16 week blood test on Monday, and can not believe how quick the weeks have gone.

Cheers
Purple Lady.

i am far away from refeed but it sounds exciting!Pop corn would be scary because I could eat a whole microwave bag myself and when I was in college I had a hot air popper in my dorm room-lets say I love popcorn. Especially with garlic salt and oregano.

[Purple Lady]

Hi Everyone,

Tomorrow is my last day of refeed, I can't believe that i have reached the end. Maintanence seems like a scary place but i am determined to keep the weight off.
Like everyone i have had ups and downs but it has all been worth it as the end result is wonderful.
Thank you to all the people who have popped in and given me support it has been a great help. I don't know how you can put it into words, i can sit here and think what i would like to write in someones diary but don't know how to but it into words.
I will still have to come into the forum to see how everyone is going, i have been coming into the forum nearly everyday since i started and i think i would have withdrawals if i did't.

Thanks again,
Purple Lady

You will do just fine, pretty lady! Just remember: baby steps. You have the rest of your life to find exactly what works for you, so there is no need to rush it. Just look at how well you've done up till now! Stand proud!
I shall return tomorrow for the banana party!

Hi Everyone,

I have now been on maintanence for a week and so far so good, my weight has been staying pretty steady.

Went to a party on Sat night and had my first dessert since i started Cohens in Sept, had some rocky road and caramel tart, it's funny i didn't enjoy them as much as i thought i would.

I was a bit worried at the start as to how to handle all the new food and felt a bit lost but i have been sticking mostly the same food.

Cheers

Hi PL,



You go girl !! This is one plateau you WANT to last a LONG time !!

I was a bit worried at the start as to how to handle all the new food and felt a bit lost but i have been sticking mostly the same food.

Mette said it - you're doing it - baby steps are good. Over time, you will become a bit adventurous, but still, one food at a time, and you'll get to know what to embrace, and what to avoid !!

Live it and love it, PL - you are doing this !!

Hugs,

Koh
