Default Nervous Newbie....

Hi All,

It took me about 5 mins to figure out to start a new thread, so here's hoping it works.....

Today I have my blood test done, I have emailed my forms and scheduled for clinic appointment next thursday night. (ooops just realised I forgot to pay!!! better get onto that asap!

I have gone from 67ish kilos (when i felt overweight) to 91 over the last 4 years and really need to get it off.

I have tried HEAPS of diets, am currently on Tony Ferguson (crazy isn't it, on one diet and about to start a new "eating plan") and I just keep on putting on weight. TF hasn't worked at all. I'm only sticking to it til I start Cohens so that I don't put on more weight (hopefully - fingers, eyes and legs crossed!)

All of you have inspired me to join. The success stories and the threads in here are brilliant.

I've printed off the pre cohen preparation info and am planning to incorporate that with TF - do you guys think that should be ok?

With the yoghurt, I recall reading a thread last night that one of you puts 30 sweetners in a drink bottle, dilutes them in water (5ml per sweetner) and then pops 1 spoon (teaspoon or table spoon???) in the yoghurt...is this allowed? Any suggestion as to the best tasting yoghurt?

Anyway I've raved enough, looking forward to chatting with you all and to great success on this program. I must succeed. If this does not work, I don't know what will.

I'm not tech savvy at all, so any tips on how to jazz me up would me most welcome

Thanks for reading!

Ciao for now
Belle

You have made a good investment (albeit after you pay ) , you are less than 600 small meals away from being the slim, trim and healthy. Cohen is very strict, very strick with no wriggle room (deviation), stick to the plan and the plan will work, no if's, no but's, absolutely as sure as night follows day, meal by meal a slimmer you will emerge.

Whats Tony Ferguson like anyway? ...except it doesnt work! What do you eat?
Anyway if it doesnt work just move towards the Pre-Cohen tips we have on this site. You have nothing to lose except weight.

Should be fine in principle, my only advise is not to have a big "carb" attact before you start on Cohen, it just make's it harder to get your body into the Cohen groove.

I cannot imagine why it wouldnt be allowed if it is the right kind of sweetner, I just use the sweetner powder directly on top of the yoghurt.

Have no fear it will work, the program just doenst fail. The difficulty is sticking to the program through ups and downs, when traveling, when tired, when hungry, when bored, during family events. It takes real planning to have a Cohen meal available at the right time whereever you find yourself.

Commit yourself and you cannot fail, remember all the foods you miss are all waiting for you at the end of the program, when they can be consumed again (thou some in moderation)
