I hope I am back to the 60's before the end of November .. Hopefully if all goes well and I don't side step off plan , I should make it no problem...

Awesome stuff. I've started my third week today. Deviation free....

Hoping to lose 10 - 12 kgs by Christmas. Starting weight was 62 kg.

Have a super week.

[Tuti]

Great stuff Jessy! It is nice seeing those numbers go down isn't it.

I am not far from you at 75.1 this morning. Would love to be in the 60s by christmas.

Hi Jessy.

I am new to the forum, but see your starting weight is the same as mine and you have really motivated me with you posts. How are you getting on?

Wishing you all the best.

Hi Jessy

How are you? How are the losses coming along?
Haven’t been in the forum for a while but it’s great to see many of the old friends here

Back to 60’s yet?

Hi Jessy

How are things going? I know the forum is sooo quiet now I remember when I was on the first time I did Cohens there was so many of us!

Hope you are going okay and not being too hard on yourself x

Hey NME

Yes, in it's heyday the Forum was exceptionally busy

I don't think that fewer people are losing weight, but perhaps the Clinics are more active in their support

My Gardenvale Clinic advertises on the Radio and regularly hold the Information Sessions. Perhaps people new to Cohen's just don't see the need for forum support, or prefer to read the forum - there is a huge body of posts on the board now - and lurk rather than contribute or ask open questions

I am enjoying using the Ticker again and find that little tool rewards me as I progress along my weight loss journey

Please continue to make posts when you can, it is always good to see new posts on the board

Lotsa love
Kristine

I am on the road to nowhere...

So I better start somewhere right... Tonight at work I can feel my face is puffy ... my clothes tighter than usual.. I am praying No ... but I know the truth ... I have dropped the ball again...

Get home I am going straight for the scales... 86.3 ... Man I have gone a big wrong turn ... 10 kg's in a few months... now that isn't cool... Days off beers and Domnios, snacks at work spring rolls dim sims and chips... I know where the ball has been dropped EVERWHERE LOL...

So here I sit thinking of how am I going to harness freight train to weight gain back in...

I even ate Cohens today .. a real 3 weighed out meals.. First thing I did after weighing myself was check my 2 scales against each other .. they where the same weight with a can of diet coke.. its me not them, its me !!!!

I am going to have to get real about my issue... I find it takes so much effort to get back on the bus... But I have to ... I feel like a fish slapping around the back deck of a boat waiting to be put out of its misery .. Just one big lost cause...

All the best everyone .. may tomorrow be on plan for us all looking for our Skinny again

[Greeni]

Hi Jessy

Welcome back!!! I’m back on plan too
Week 3 for me! We can do this 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[Soon2BSlim]

Hi Jessy, how's it going? It's really hard getting back on the bus but know that you're not alone. You can do this... WE can do this!

Hoping your week is going well and that you've made it through the weekend okay.

Finally ... I am back in the 70's just 79.2 was a nice to see today. Days off tomorrow and Tuesday are my pit falls let's see if the scale is enough motivation to get through relatively unscathed...

[Nomoreexcuses]

Keep going Jessy end of this week and you will be feeling slimmer and in control again you always lose so quickly in your first week! Sorry to hear you fell off the bus we have all been there good job in getting yourself back on it's not easy but it's easier than staying up happy!!

[jessy]

Thanks NME.... true saturday to Sunday was a huge drop 1.5 kg... it surprised me! I will just try to stay busy here is hoping to be lighter this time next week LOL

[jessy]

Take 10 / take 20 !!

I am back again !! this time to goal. Started at 84.1, down to 76.9 today hoorah ....

I tried 2 weeks of the carnivore diet and LOVED it ... felt very satisfied but I ate too much. I need guide lines and weights to measure my food off. Telling me to eat until I am full well I can eat a lot of meat Definitely going to incorporate it again when I get back to goal as it really does cut all cravings out. finding the balance of the right amount of meat was depressing, too depressing.

For now back to mini sized portions of Cohens. No guess work no surprises, just go through the motions.

Estimate I should be back at goal around end of March start of April. No real reason not to be, I got through the festive season well and stayed on track.

All the best everyone here is to 2021

Hey Jessy

Happy New Year!

It appears that we are of the same mind - back into battle with this endless bulge!

1st January, 2020 I weighed in at 70.6 kilos

1st January, 2021 I weighed in at 76.7 kilos

So that's what a year of House Arrest will do!

My preferred weight is 65 - 67 kilos. I have 10 kilo to lose.

So let us chum each other along on this always amazing and always interesting journey!

I am debating about whether to start Monday 4th January or Monday 11th January. Having a companion for the duration makes it more attractive to start Monday 4th.

OK, I shall stock up on Soda water and let's be having it!

Lotsa love
Kristine

[jessy]

Hello there stranger, how have you been... ?

The start is always the hardest ... but honestly with Carnivore it cut all the crap and alcohol out for me which was awesome... slide into Cohens was fine but the size of my steak was so minuscule to what I had been enjoying LOL

I look forward to the company I knew if someone posted more might join the conversation again, either way the goal is always the same regardless...

Can't wait to feel my skinny again

[Kristine..]

Hey Jessy

Thanks for the reply

Yes, always good to have a travelling companion, even though this - like life, really, is a journey which must of necessity, be taken alone

I have been going through my excel spreadsheets and quite surprised at the weight at successive New Year Days. Our imagination interprets the world the way we feel at the time - triumphant or despondent, we see what we want to see, believe what we want to believe, and disregard the rest!

Right now, I don't 'feel' fat but I have the muffin top and I do look fat and now that yoga is open again, I look down and see the broad band of bulging waistline in the yoga pants and it is not a good look.

Portion sizes are OK, the first three days are the adjustment days but with the compensation of quick results on the scales, after that it is plain sailing.

I look forward to feeling smart (neat & tidy) again

And yes, hopefully some other New You members who subscribe to you / my posts will join in and make a merry throng dancing along the beach to our goal weights!

Lotsa Love
Kristine

Plodding along on plan no great hoorah moments yet ... been stressed my dog cut his carpel pad on the forearm and the vet took me to the cleaners to get it stitched up !!! Dog and I both got stitched up cost 1 K

Get through this little set back and hopefully the stress will drop along with the numbers on the scale.

Here is to next week being clean and on track

[Kristine..]

Oooooo-aaaah, Jessy - $1,000 for the Vet bill!

Well, that's what money is for, I guess, but it still comes as shock

I have had to google Carpel Pad to know exactly what the injury may have involved.

I had a customer last year with a special breed dog, and each month there would be Vet bills – eye surgery, some sort of heart treatment and a bill similar to yours for surgery, but he subscribed to PetPlan and I recall he sent me the remittance coupon when he got the full refund for the cost of the surgery. Accidents can certainly happen but perhaps pet insurance might be worth considering?

However, there is no Weight Insurance, we have to do this all ourselves!

I am gearing up for my start tomorrow and quite looking forward to it. I shall be glad of your company for the time we are together

Hope you can do something relaxing today and relieve some of that stress!

Lotsa love
Kristine

I took out pet insurance over the weekend my older dog is double any way would rather pay $120 a month that big lump sums!!

Scales slowly sliding down.. Ever so slow 76.6 and it just dawned on me that it will be middle of February maybe 6 weeks before i am back in the 60's. I better stay busy !! It feels like it is so easily and quickly gained and slow to loose

Going to make sure my water is up today and get some cardio in. I have been paying around with HIIT, 25 minute sessions. It does seem to help and least mentally as I feel like I am actively trying to move the bulge.

Patience grasshopper... Every 300g is a battle won, every Kg lost is a triumph.

Just checked my BMI I am 9.5 kg's away from normal Wow

My target goals is 74.8 , 71.9, 69.5 then 66.6

1.8 KG away from next goal !! that makes the journey a bit easier to swallow
