Hi all, I am a newbie and started Cohen's on the 27th July 09. I love the New You Forums and have been reading them for a while, they are a great inspiration and help to all. I have not deviated since my start date and feel great, I beleive that I have been able to stay focused after reading about others in the forums.

Thank you all

Hi Julie, I love the program and this forum. I am 54 and have been eating comfort food over the past 12 months....not good. I have never really dieted as i beleive that you always put the weight back on eventually. But alway said that I would never buy a size 16 pant.......well that happened in Feb this year.I have been a 16 in my tops for years now but not the pants. I was devistated and thought I will have to do something so my wonderful husband (35years married) purchased me a Wii fit and although the hard work (mind you it was fun hard work)was seeing some results I was still comfort eating.
I was very depressed until a work collegue told me about Cohen's so I did a bit of checking and thought this may work for me. I had'nt seen the collegue for about a month and when I did I was totally shocked he looked so good and had lost weight; that is when I realised this is for me as I wanted quick results. When I say quick, I just wanted to get back into my size 14 pants not realising that I havent been eating properly for years. It has opened up my eyes to a lot. Especially knowing that I could enjoy my comfort food later down the track but in a diffrent way.
I admire everyone in the forums for sticking to their programs and the before and after pictures are amazing and everyone should be very proud of what they have acomplished.
