Default Panda's Diary

Hi everyone. I am on day 13 of Cohens. Have been reading some of your posts and tried to figure it all out. Haven't figured it all out so thought I'd get started with my dairy etc anyway. Early days but it all seems to be going quite well. I am struggling a bit with the water. Hilarious but usually end up with 4 or 5 glasses still to drink near bedtime! But I'm doing it...

I feel WELL on this - must be the balancing of the insulin. So I'm impressed. And lost about 14 cms in week one.

This is an amazing forum. You are all so supportive of one another and that is wonderful and I'm sure makes a big difference to reaching those goals. Seeing some of your results and journeys is quite inspiring. Panda

Hey Panda - WELCOME to the forum! I'm brand new myself so we'll be traveling together!

I personally have no problem drinking the 2-2.5l of water every day but have read that it's good to have a bottle/glass next to you at all times and just to keep drinking small sips all day. Some people say a slice of lemon/mint leave makes it better.

All the best and see you around!

And thanks LIL Doll for your tips - I followed that link and it was fantastic information. Also haven't weighed in yet as only 2 weeks (love this program but feels like a month or more...) But I lost another 14.5 cms today - yay twice. So an unbelievable 28cms in two weeks. I'm already getting onto clothes I haven't worn for a while. Now that's motivating.

Yes I will take pics! Love the ticker Kenga!
Think I've got/had a virus - I've been exhausted for the past few days. I can hardly function. Hopefully past the worst of it.
Does everyone weight themselves regularly? I'm waiting for week 4 - trying to follow rules and do what I'm told! But it feels like forever has past and I'm only starting week 3!

Hi Panda, welcome to the forum. Sounds like your really on a roll already. I weigh myself all the time but it can be disheartening if you dont lose, at least if you weigh as they suggest you see bigger losses.

I do weigh myself every morning, Panda - not a good idea when on Cohen's as the weight loss is a cyclical thing and some days you lose, some days you gain even when you are 100% and D-free, but I decided to do it for the 1st week as a motivator and then hide the scales.

I hope you are feeling better today!

I was and am a daily weigher too... it can be both motivating and de-motivating. If it causes you upset, daily weighing is not a good idea, but if you can really understand that it is cyclic, it can make things easier... I would get disheartened if I didn't see the 'right' numbers on the scales... but in the end I still knew this was the right 'diet' and that no matter what those scales said I was doing the right thing... and of course, the next week or the week after, the weight would catch up... you gotta remember that every so often your body needs to catch up with the weightloss or else we'd all end up with rolls of skin around our ankles... hehe

Trust in Cohens

Smile Re: Panda's Diary

Hello everyone and happy Easter. I'm well into third week, so get the big weigh in and blood test on Friday! SOOO nervous and I haven't touched the scales so absolutely no idea what it will be. I do feel so much better though - last Friday I had lost 35 cms so it must be working.

Once I get my weigh in I'll put up my ticker. Bit disheartening if it's got not losses on it so won't bother till I can have some weight loss to show. Another big thing - I'm already down one dress size. That's an amazing feeling.

Anyone had big weigh in surprises recently?

Panda that is fantastic - 35 cm and a dress size in 3 weeks???

Can't wait to see your week 4 results.

Your ticker is a bit hard to read with the white on it so I am not sure of your start weight and goal weight - do you have 51kg to lose or is that your finish weight?

Sorry about the ticker - I set it up but not properly, but until I have weight loss to report, it looks a bit depressing!! I started at 120kgs and have 48 kgs to lose so any loss this week will be welcome! I weigh on Friday so will set it up then.

I am feeling much better - finding it easier to move around and I feel like I'm starting to get a waist again!

It is always a great feeling to update your ticker once you have that weigh in! I always feel like its not official until its on the ticker! Good luck for Friday
