I have just had my blood test

[Hopingtobeslim]

Hi all,

I just thought I would introduce myself. My name is Hoping To Be Slim, becasue that is exactly what I wish and hope for - to be slim. I have been fat all of my life, although this is the heaviest I have ever been. I weigh 106 kg. I had a baby 3 years ago, but I cannot blame her for this weight as I actually lost weight when I was pregnant, and I have put most of this weight on in the past two years (16 kg).

I have been reading the posts on this forum for the past few years without joining, as I have done all the diets that are out there, and I lose weight, but then I get too hungry and I put all the weight back on and then some.

Anyway, I had my blood test this morning (they had to get it through the back of my hand - ouch) and I have paid for the program, so I am just waiting for that to come back.

I am sooo hoping that this will work...I have soooo many health problems from being fat (nothing serious, just little things that I know are associated with weighing too much).

I am in Canberra and I am always on the net, so I can catch up with anyone, anytime. I will be starting a diary when I start the program.

Anyway, I find this forum to be great and a great support, as I know I can't do this alone.

Hiya Hoping,

I'm zojoho & I am currently on Day 1 of my programme. So far so good.

I also have 3 children, but have put most of my weight on post pregnancy
shame on me..

Anyway, I just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world with your journey, and hope that you make it to your goal in no time at all.

Thanks for all of your support. It is my first day on Cohen's and I feel really weak, so I hope that this won't last.

Good on you for getting started - I think you may have to revise your target, I predict you will be way below 100kgs by Christmas!!

Hi HTBS,

Well, you've come to a good place, and have chosen the BEST way to get this weight problem sorted for sure

but then I get too hungry and I put all the weight back on and then some

And THAT is where Cohens shines, HTBS. MOST are able to complete the program without feeling hungry (not all, and most even have an "occasional hungry day" too - but hey, that's not bad when you are losing 1Kg a week, and more).

This will work for you too - just do your bit, and stick to the Plan, and you'll be blown away by your progress (as most are). No, it is not a "one size fits all" - quite the contrary, as each Program is individually tailored for each individual. So, your program will have the right amounts of food for YOU (and no-one else). And, these "right amounts" will be all you require to remain un-hungry, and to shed Kgs like you wouldn't believe (prior to Cohens, that is).

The first few days might feel AWFUL (usually 2 - 3 days) - but, after that, things turn right around and you will start to feel unbelievably good - like you haven't felt in YEARS !!!! So, just hang in there Jody - it's all waiting for you to go claim it,

Koh
