You are doing so well Soleil! I'm proud of you for sticking to this. Your posts are always so positive and I love reading your diary because I know I will find motivation to keep going with my own journey.

Love your work!!

Great results so far Soleil!!

Like the others have said cms are just as important if not MORE important that the scales - and you are having amazing results with both!!! Keep up the fantastic work!

Week 4 - Day 22

It's been a week consumed by stress and worry and (for the first time ever) the scales have not moved much at all. But I've lost centimetres all over the body, a further -1,5cm from the hips and -1cm from breast and thighs. So in the end it's all good I'm sure weight will catch up this week. Happy in my Cohen bubble

I'm sorry to hear you have had so much stress and worry this week Soleil I hope things improve for you. Good news on the cm losses though - I'm sure the scales will catch up next week.

Week 5 - Day 29

One Month done!!!!

My last two weeks have been less than perfect but I don't let myself worry about that, there has unfortunately been much bigger things to worry about. All of my previous attempts have been about getting to the goal as fast as I can and every single time I have crashed and burned. No more. Sometimes things just don't go 100%. Most days do, but some don't. The most important thing is to just keep on going and that is exactly what I'm doing (slowly and steadily).

Today I'm celebrating my one month worth of healthy choices, looking after myself and the results are showing

My 1st month results: (start measurement -> current)

Breast: 108 -> 101 cm
Chest: 89 -> 84.5 cm
Waist: 88 -> 82 cm
Hips: 108 -> 104 cm
Thigh: 68 -> 65.5 cm

Weight: 79,7 kg -> 73,9 kg (-5,8kg)

Wow!! Well done!! Great results! I'm super impressed <3

[Lilian]

Wow 5 kg is smth

Awesome attitude Soleil - slow and steady. Its going to be a life time of maintenance anyway, and I believe personally that the mind has to see it like during the weight loss part not just the post weight loss. Much better than crashing and burning. Well done!!

Good work Soleil. I totally agree with BT "its going to be a life time of maintenance anyway"
Looking forward to get into the sixties with you, we are almost there!

Your words and attitude are inspiring this newcomer. Thank you and well done to you on this lifetime journey.

Welcome back Soleil.... a week from now you'll be glad you started !!

[mesmer_eyes]

hey soleil! best of luck! im on day 6 now and I got a new plan..

see you at the finish line!

[StrongerThanSheKnows]

I'm on day 2, too. It's also not my first Cohen's rodeo. My Cohen's sugar/junk detox usually gets me on days 2-3. Today I made it through alright. I'm glad you were feeling better today. It's so brutal in the beginning, but such a relief when the detox is over.
Glad we can get through it together!

Day 4

Just a very quick update, day four done and it was a good day, I had a bit of detox headache for the first three days but no more today. And already feeling a lot more energetic! My husband is used to seeing me on the couch half asleep by now but now I'm all happy and... ALIVE. I've written this before but again I cannot stop thinking how true the following saying is; you are what you eat!!!

Super, super excited there are a few of us that have started about the same time, I have some diaries to catch up on!

[mesmer_eyes]

Heya missy!! Seriously our stats and progress are a mirror of each other! just my thoughts on that "you are what you eat" statement. Its a matter of context because whenever that comes up my way before i keep saying "yes thats true. Look at those skinny ones. They eat almost nothing, so they are nothing!" Hahaha bitter much? Its a healthy take on things.. and those people like us (now... ahem) eat healthy.. thereby we are healthy!

Keep it up woman.. i have my eye on u

Day 6

Yesterday went to see my parents and also went to my uncles birthday and for the first time ever I just confessed that I was on a diet and no thank you I can't have any of mum's cooked lunch or birthday cake etc..

I have actually never before admitted to anyone (husband of course knows), including my own mother, that I was trying to loose weight. No other reason other than I was just simply too embarrassed to admit it.

Now that I did, I felt so much better and it was so much easier to avoid all the food. Everyone respected it, no one tried to force any oh come on just a little bit or anything like that. If anything they just tried to find other solutions, how about a banana,? -oh no thank you I have my own fruit with me

*Finally admitting/acknowledging to my family that I am overweight and that I'm trying so very, very hard to do something about it is hopefully a change that I need to kick this on-off program thing and finish this for good! *

My dad was visibly proud of me seeing me not eating any of the treats and told me to keep strong. And what my dad says I value a lot. So I'm keeping strong

Day 10

Going strong! I can't tell that I've lost weight as in no physical changes that are visible but I certainly feel a whole lot happier!!!! And as of today I'm -3kg lighter and ofcourse a few centimeters smaller.
