Wink Another Newbie...

Hi all,

I'm very excited to be starting Cohen's. I, like so many others, have tried just about every diet there is to try with no success. I really do hope this works. In the last 2 years I have been diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis, so it has been a very hard couple of years, and I hope that by doing this, I might be a bit happier and healthier.

I pick up my program on monday morning and can't wait to get started. Although my start date will have to be thursday, as it's my 30th birthday on wednesday, 1 last night to have a bit of a party and a few drinks. Then I will be knuckling down and getting 100% into this.

I hope to hear from you all soon
Mel

Hey Meljo - good choice to wait till you are completely in the right mind zone - i delayed by a week as I had some events as well. Once you start stick to it 100% and you will find it flys off. It is hard in the first week but it all settles very quickly. Keep plugged here and we will all cheer you on. I am sure Jlou will be on soon to point you to a great post she put up re the first few days.

Welcome Meljo!

I have just started my second week! The first week is tough... but well worth it!

Enjoy the journey!

Good morning Meljo,

Just thought I would stop by and say that I have not regrets what so ever. I know I have only done two days but they have been far easier than any other diet I have tried. Don't get me wrong though, there have been a couple of minor detox bothers, but nothing to scare me off. In fact I am already seeing results which is just absolutely gob smacking! Anyway, you go for it tomorrow and I look forward to reading about your experiences.

Hi Meljo

As Shuki predicted, here's that thread which you should have a read of before you start:

http://newyouforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9808

Welcome to the forum and Cohens.

I have to agree with your choice to start after your birthday because you do need to have your head completely committed to this when you get going.

Take the time between now and then to have a really good read of this place and maybe start your diary (we can change this thread to a diary if you like? Just say the word and one of the mods will move and chance the title to 'Meljo's Diary' - or something else if you prefer).

Congraulations on the start of your Cohens journey

jlou
