Hey Kat!

Fab job with the party! It feels so good when people actually admire you for being good

It's like a nice pat on the back for a job well done.

It's funny how even after you say no thanks, people will try and compromise with another option (like you with your strawberry in the sparking mineral water)...

Nice loss too by the way! Look at you go!

xoxo

Hi Missy!

Yeah, it was a bit funny about the strawberry. But I guess they must have thought it is a fruit, couldn't be that bad? hahah!

***

ughh... there are a few birthdays coming up in the next two weeks, more social situations and people to deal with! Far out I sound like a hermit and I am actually the opposite, which is probably part of the reason why I guess I ended up soooo big! I have NEVER been one to shy away from a social gathering or celebration in the past(or one too many champagnes for that matter!) LOL!

Hmmmm, so I have my work cut out for me again in so far as explaining myself! Oh well, the weekend went Ok so I know I can do it. I just really don't want to have a BIG deal made out of WHY I am not partaking in the all the drinking and eating etc.... Boy did my light bulb come on just one month too late to get this show on the road well before xmas! NEVER MIND, it happened when it did and I am glad it came on at all!!

Today at work I am wearing a jacket that I have worn before BUT I have NEVER EVER been able to do the buttons up! I normally just wear it over things. But.... not today! Today I have done the buttons up! Awesome! It never even went close to closing let alone buttons being able to think about being done up!! So cool, so cool!!

Happy dance!

Well, I just wanted to share that exciting news about my jacket. ALL GOOD on the cohens front. To the gram, to the ml to the letter. Love this program. Love the results!!

Have a great day everyone! xx Happy Losing!

I feel the same... but yeh we just have to move on

At least we are doing it! And proving our resolve too... if we can make it through the silly season, we can make it through anything!!!!!!

Yay for the jacket!!! I have my cardigan done up today too! It's nice to be buttoned up for once!

Have a great day, sweetie!

Just a quick pop in to say, another week pretty much done and dusted. Tomorrow I get to update my ticker... woo hoo! I wonder what it will be this week??? I feel good even though TOM is on its way FOR SURE! (TMI - Sorry)

YAY to buttons doing up Missy!

Today is day one of week 7.

I simply can not believe the results this program has bought me in 6 weeks. Unbelievable.

Seven weeks ago I dreamt of amazing results for myself that I had heard other people had experienced on this program but I guess I was doubtful that anything could ever work for me or more importantly that I could ever stick to something and succeed.

I am happy to say that here I am today feeling pretty chuffed with myself and the results this program has delivered, as promised. Even though I see the numbers, I see the change in my clothes and my body I am still a little in shock thats for sure. My head needs to catch up I think, it is still spinning.

Last night my trainer said she almost walked straight passed me on the gym floor as she did not recognise from behind (nice). She then told me I look as if I have had a tummy tuck and I am the highlight of her week. She said the results I have been acheiving week in and week out just blow her away and she has never seen anything like it. I explained to her, this is what Dr Cohens program is all about. Rapid Fat Loss. Rapid is an understatement in her opinion. hahaha!

In six weeks I have lost 40.3cms and just over 13 kilos. I still can not believe it as I type it?????? The most exciting thing is I have moved from a BMI of OBESE (oh geez...) to Overweight. Overweight just seems to sound better to me. Even though I am sooo looking forward to heading south from Overweight to just being HEALTHY BMI!

It still feels weird, a little shell shocked, but very happy with the results this program has bought.

At this point I have to shout out to all of my forum friends on this journey too, who share their support and stories with me. YOU have no idea how much this forum has helped me, thank you ever so much xxxxx

Wishing you all a great fat loss week!

A very Dizzy Kat

*head spinning*

Watch this space, I am off to update my ticker!!

lil_doll · #86 15-12-2009, 15:08

Woo Kat!!! Nice looking ticker you got yourself there?!

Getting very close to halfway already and those are some great results in only 6 weeks!

I am impressed your trainer is so supportive... maybe she will end up recommending the program to other people! It makes perfect sense, in my untrained opinion, to lose weight before rigorous training... you know?! But I would have thought personal trainers would be skeptical.. but I guess you are the proof right before her eyes

I am still shellshocked too... it is like I am concentrating only on the numbers... watching them go down down down... it's almost surreal really. The comments and compliments... the wow's, ooh's and ahh's really help though... makes you realise oh yeh, I am actually changing here! It's not just numbers on the scale.

Speak soon Kat!

What positive posts you have - that means one thing~success! You will be at your goal weight in no time...

13kg amazing - this program is amazing and lol I know that feeling of wanting to tell everyone that this is the one!

Mette · #88 15-12-2009, 21:29

That's amazing, Kat! You're like 'the incredible shrinking woman'!

Keep up the great work!

Hi Kat,

Rock'n'roll, girl !!! You are SO doing this !!!

For a bit of a muse, I copied in one of your very first comments - hehe, I wonder how you see yourself now, in relation to that comment?

Certainly still "so possible" - perhaps even more so

How about the "far away" bit though?

That light at the end of the tunnel must be shining pretty well about now....

Don't overlook your OWN DIARY as a "bit of inspiration", Kat - even more than most, you'll RELATE to yours so much - and a re-read now and then can only help to have you bolster up for the "next bit". At the rate you are going, it won't be long now.

And how's about this thought:-

Hehe - forget "possible" now, 'cos you are making this happen - how awesome is THAT?

And hey, NICE words from your personal trainer !!! Lap it all up, girl - this IS you, and YOU are doing it - bigtime,

Hugs,

Koh

Ohhhh........

I have logged on this morning to find all of these beautiful messages and I just wanted to say i am touched, Thank You so much.

Missy - Love that cute Panda, thank you and I am trying to come to grips with ALMOST half way! hehehe My trainer IS such a supporter of me and this program. She is fantastic. I have NO doubt that she will be recommending Cohens to ALL of her clients! Her reaction to my results is priceless, embarrassing but priceless!

hexi2 - Wow thank you for popping into my diary! This is soooooooo "the one" for for me. I feel like I have a secret weapon haha!

Mette - Incredible Shrinking Woman? LOL! Thats funny!

Koh - Are you a life coach by any chance? You should be. How good are you to be able bring to the surface 'real' motivation and genuine reflection? You are so invested in everyones success, thank you for that. I do feel like i am heading towards that light, I feel like I am almost half way down that dark tunnel and the light is starting to shine, to the point where I don't want to look back - only forwards. I now want to just run my heart out to get the end! Maybe it is time to move away from 'possible' and stand in the space of 'IS'

Again thanks to each of you for words of support. YOU ROCK!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi TII,

Quote:

YOU have no idea how much this forum has helped me, thank you ever so much xxxxx

I am sure that this forum is instrumental in bringing some "balance" into what can seem daunting to so many. The really good bit is that this place is the culmination of MANY souls sharing their experiences with others (probably why I find it hard to stay away too long...

)

I wanted to add to that with a quote that SANG to me (just a few weeks ago) It said this:-

"Your reach FAR exceeds your imagination"

And I'm starting to believe it is TRUE - for ALL of us !! Certainly, I am feeling it, and it is an enervating, yet humbling, realisation. The really AWESOME bit, is that it applies to every one of us !! Yep, YOU too !!!

Think about it a little, and you'll get an appreciation - as a simple example, have you ever had an occasion where you were stunned to find that "someone else" was blown away by you, and what you were achieving (whatever it was...). Go on, think back some.... Maybe it was an occasion/achievement that you didn't see as "any big deal", yet they did !!

So often, we "under-rate" ourselves, and fail to see how we are helping others by example, or just by being ourselves.

For me, I'm "starting" to understand..... How are you going?

Hehe, I just LURVE some of these "deep" thoughts.... They make my day - I hope they might make yours too

Rock on, TII - lap it all up, 'cos you so deserve to,

Koh

Hi Kat, I'm not sure what else to say after so many have put so many inspiring and encouraging things in their posts, but who could not tell how amazing you are for the results you have achieved after only 6 weeks. You must be walking around on cloud 9 every day, I know I am feeling good about myself and I have not been having your losses.
I was just thinking the other day that it is the little differences that really matter too, such as before when on the odd occasion I would sit on the lounge with a stable table on my lap I was always afraid I was going to drop food on the way to my mouth because the plate was so far away because of my stomach. Now I can bring it right close to me and it was amazing how much that small change made a difference to me.
Keep doing whatever it is you are doing, you are defintely doing something right. Good luck for the week!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I trust that everyone has had a really wonderful xmas and new year!

Two and and half weeks ago (there abouts) I forgot to mention that I was heading away for a three week holiday for xmas and new year. I am still away but finally found a computer with internet access! YAY! So the first thing I I did was log on here to say HI and catch up.

I have been so so so so so good! Although I have not deviated off plan I guess you could say I have deviated as I have been unable to weigh everything that goes into my mouth. I did bring my scales and weigh every meal possible but it is not always possible to do so.

My birthday, xmas and new year has all rolled around and I feel a big sigh of relief! Phew!

There are no scales in sight. I was able to weigh myself on some scales in a shopping centre last week and they said 74.2. I took my measurements and they have gone down and I know by the shorts and other clothes I been wearing that it must be all good! It can be done people. Go away at the craziest time of the year and survive! My goal before leaving was to stay the same or at least lose 1kg. Not that I had any plan of deviating but I knew it was going to be really hard to weigh absolutley everything and I am aware of how important each gram of food is and how it has to be just so.

So I get back next week and the first thing I am going to do when I get home is stand on my scales. Quietly chuffed with myself! woo hoo!

There have been comments from all of my family on my weight loss and of course the fact I am not drinking... very weird for them!

Well I have 20 minutes on this PC so I am off to catch up on how everyone else is doing!

Again Happy New Year everyone. May all your weight loss goal be your reality this year! MWAH!

PS- has anyone else noticed just how many weight loss programs have been bombared in the media? My goodness! They are everywhere! Poor people who are going to try EVERYTHING..... I hope the efforts lead them here. Good luck people.

lil_doll · #94 04-01-2010, 23:52

Enjoy your holiday, Kat!!!

And Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to you too!!!!

oh, and I have totally noticed the weightloss program ads all the time too.

xoxo
Missy

knickerless · #95 05-01-2010, 09:11

Hehe I hardly ever watch Today Tonight etc but last night left it on after the news and they had a program about detox diets and do they work.....my bosses have employed a personal trainer to try and shed some weight after being spurred on by my weight loss!?!? I was flattered that I was their inspiration but said to them why not just do as I am doing!

Anyway enjoy the rest of your holiday - sounds like you are doing a fab job keeping on top of things and will be rewarded with a nice loss when you get back!

this..is..it! · #96 11-01-2010, 13:00

So here I am back at work, holidays over.... back to reality! LOL!

Xmas, new year, birthdays etc all survived! YAY! And I got on my scales and was delighted to see my weight was down to 70.5kgs!! Woo hoo! I am almost in the 60's!!! The last time I remember being anywhere near there was at the very begining of my pregancy over four years ago! Oh yehar!

well I am off to update my ticker and catch up on how everyone is doing!

Pumped for 2010 and to get into those 60's! I am thinking... only 10 kgs to go till I finish this part of my journey (order refeed I mean)... WOWZERS!!

Knickerless and Missy, thanks for popping in! xx

this..is..it! · #97 11-01-2010, 13:03

Oh and something else......

I AM OVER HALF WAY NOW!!

lil_doll · #98 11-01-2010, 14:13

WOW! So close to the 60's! How freaken exciting! Well done of staying on plan!

And for being MORE than half way there!

I'm very glad to have you back on the forum

xoxo
Missy

YAY HALFWAY - YOUR ROCKING

this..is..it! · #**100** 12-01-2010, 14:04

Hey Missy - great to be back in the world of Cohen supporters! Wow look at you go with your cheeky 7.1kgs to go! Woo hoo! That is going to be over in NO TIME. I originally thought we might get to refeed around the same time but since you grew a few cms and had your goal changed uh arh... not anymore.

I will be cheering you along refeed from here. You can do it! xx

Thanks Hexi. You will be half way very soon too! Good to know that you will be in refeed the same time as our good friend LD! Go Sexy Hexi! LOL - original hey?

***

Second day back at work and I have to admit that I love the security of everything being just 'so'. Every meal planned, everything weighed correctly, no suprises.... is this sounding like someone with control issues?? Hmmm... never considered myself a control freak but maybe I am a bit? Or maybe I just know how quick this program works when everything is just so! Either way, I am glad to be back in my routine and get to the end of this phase!

I get that your body loses what it loses and no one can predict when you will lose the weight by, BUT, I am hoping to have lost all I need to lose by the end of March and be on that refeed train in April. In my head I am thinking, that gives me about ten weeks to lose 13.5kgs. I have lost 18.5 in about the last ten weeks... allowing for the big loss week one, I think this might just be do-able?? CMON!! Yeah! See what happens, but a girls has to aim for something right? Right!

Going good... TMI ALERT... TOM is looming and I feel great? What The?? Im not complaining, just weird. hahaha

Well my friends from Cohens Land have a great day and happy losing!
