SlimLiz's Diary

SlimLiz · #1 12-04-2010, 21:58

Hi All

I thought I would introduce myself and keep a journal of my Cohen's journey... I hope it will help

I am a mum of two children... Mr Aaron 2yrs and Miss Chantal 3yrs old
My husband and I love reef fishing and luckily the kids love it too!
I am just about finished my Cert III in Business Admin... started off with a beginners computer course and it steam rolled into the certificate.

I have tried a vegetarian diet, high protein diet and this is my third attempt... Since having children I just seem to keep putting on weight... I even was walking 8-10kms 5 days a week when the kids were younger.
I got ill from a Mozzie Bite last November (Barham Forest Virus) and couldn't exercise and put back on all the weight I had lost and got very disheartened.

After talking to a friend that couldn't believe the transformation of her overweight cousin I googled Cohen's and here I am

I received my program right before Easter and I plan to start by next week. I will spend the week-end shopping and preparing frozen meals for the famly and freezing my meat portions.
I have just over 20kgs to lose... I can't wait to empower myself and wear a bikini this summer!!

I look forward with chatting with you all
Liz

Congratulations on making such an excellent choice and joining us all on Cohens. Stick to plan and you will be in that bikini well and truly by next summer!

Where are you Liz?? There are semi-regular gatherings of Cohenite's all over the country! You should check your area and go meet some people. Great to have a support network of people who understand!
Cheers
Jenny

Hi hun,
Thanks for visiting my dairy, good luck on the program glad to have another lovely lady to go through the weight loss journey with me! If you stick with this it will definately be your last attempt at weight loss!!

princess_sunbeam · #8 14-04-2010, 20:00

Hey Liz
I think you will find some Cohenites on here from both Cairns and Townsville. It is great inspiration to meet others (in the flesh) that are travelling the same journey as you are, although this forum will give you lots of friends and great support.

Hi SLimliz,

How are you going babe? WHen do you start? Did you get all of your meat sorted?

Let us know when you begin!!

HI Liz, Im in Townsville. I pass through Tully regularly for work. I did my original program through the Brisbane clinic. It was no problem doing it that way, in fact I preferred it as I am always so busy I did not have to take time out of my busy day to go and weigh at a clinic. plus the best weight is always that early morning one at home! This forum was my support and it was fantastic, There were a few other people in the area doing the program and it was nice to meet with them for a coffee occasionally to cheer each other along!

Hi Ladies

I start tomorrow... I'm all psyched
I baked and froze a dozen brekkie muffins and bagged and tagged alot of meat

I'm excited about the results already

I just hope the first week won't be too unforgiving
I hope I can juggle the meals... hubby, kids and mine

Oh well here goes

Wish me luck!!

Mum Chum · #12 18-04-2010, 23:20

I wish you more than luck - its called success. And if you follow the program, you will definitely find it. Have fun on your journey & stay plugged in.

bells25 · #13 19-04-2010, 12:58

Hi there Liz, great stuff, onward to an even better Day 2.

Rora · #18 19-04-2010, 21:52

Great to see you have had such a good day one. It makes this program soo much easier having meals already prepared especially breakfast I mix the sugarine into the whole yoghurt tub and divide it into bowls which I gladwrap ready to grab in the morning!

I look forward to reading about the rest of your journey!

C-JAYE · #19 20-04-2010, 15:08

Hey wanna waterwise icon for your signature.... really cheap........ but you need to register now???? Click on this link.....

I thought that since we're all pretty new and we have been working really hard we deserve a pretty icon for our signatures - just by doing what we already do - drinking water. All you need to do is reply to the post on the link and nominate an amount of H2O that you can commit to drinking every day........ will look for your name.

Now please raise your glasses......... cheers! Caro

SlimLiz · #20 20-04-2010, 23:08

Oh Wow, What wonderful support

Thanks Karen, Louise (I haven't found you yet!). C Jaye and Rora!
Another great day on Cohen's
I enjoyed 60g Mozerella (quite a lot) and salad with a spritz of balsamic and 2 crackers for lunch... very filling too
I am still positive and looking forward to my 1 week weigh in already... I know, can't rush these things LOL
Thanks for all your support
