Time to say hello!

[fazz]

I've been reading these forums for a week or so now, so I thought it was time to come out of lurkerdom and say hi!

My name is Annette, and I just got my first Cohen's program yesterday! I'm from Melbourne, have two kids (6 and 3.5yo), and I am desperate for Cohen's to work for me as I have around 50kg to lose. I've tried various different ways to lose weight, but I never seem to stick to them for very long, I think life just gets busy at times, and it's easier to succumb and go back to old ways than to fight it and stay organised. I've been preparing myself mentally for a couple of months now, so I hope that even in those busy times, I can do it. For me, organisation is going to be the key, so I just spent some time tonight weighing and bagging various different meats and seafood to freeze, to stay ahead of the game. Fingers crossed!

It's funny, because I am usually very committed to most things that I do. Most things, that is, except for things that involve ME! It's time to change that, I have to do this! Last year I started playing basketball again after many years, and I absolutely loved it! Well, that is until I got Plantar Fasciitis, which in the end stopped me from being able to play. Having gone down the orthotics route unsuccessfully, I have a sneaky suspicion that if I can just lose some of this extra weight, my heel problem might go away and I can play again, so that is one of my goals.

Anyway, tomorrow is day 1, and I am ready to do this!

Looking forward to getting to know you all!
