AZ is Back!!!

Hi All,

So I am back!!!

I have had an incredibly difficult few months with my Hashimotos Disease and somehow managed to gain 16.3kgs in the last 6 months. Anyway, I believe my Thyroid is now back and under control and so now I want to get this weight off!!!!

I started back on plan on Monday, 9th May 2016 weighing in at 76.3kg which is a huge 20kg from where I finished my Re-feed program only 18 months ago. I'm so disappointed in myself and my stupid body but I am determined to get back to my size 6-8 clothes.

Unfortunately, this week I have been diagnosed with Gallstones so I need to go and see my doctor next week to work out where to from here. Not sure if they have been cause by my rapid weight-loss a couple of years ago or my recent rapid weight gain. In any case, this will not be as easy a journey as the first time around but I will get there.

My goal is to be 60kg by the time I go to NZ on 5 August. That's 16.3kg in 12.5 weeks. Hopefully achievable!!!

Anywho, looking forward to checking in to see where everyone is at and what's going on in Cohen's Land.

Hi AZ,

Sorry to hear you've had such a bad time with your health. Weight gain it's a bummer. But you have the tools and the attitude to fix it quick smart. You did incredibly well the first time (quickly scanning your signature). I hope the gall stones situation can be resolved quickly. I definitely think you can shift that amount of weight in 12.5 weeks. Good luck and happy Cohening to you. X

Hi AZ,

Not sure if you remember me, I'm writing under a different name now but used to write as LightLifeLove16. Sorry to hear you have bounced up again, I too have as well. In fact, since bailing in November 2014 I have put on all of the 40kg I lost. Never the less, I'm back and starting again tomorrow.

Look forward to watching your journey and sharing mine. Good luck!

Gall bladder issues can be managed by diet - stay off certain food.

I've lost weight successfully and not triggered my gall bladder issues - but when it has acted up it's because I've eaten animal fats like meat, onions, chilli, pasta, cheese etc.

I'm not a doctor, but don't resort to surgery if you don't currently need it. Buscopan will stop the spasms in your gall bladder.

good luck
