Hi ya
Just a quick question to those that read my blog - I have two friend requests waiting (for the last wee while) on FB from people who I have no friends in common with so am wondering if they may be from people who read here and want to be my friend on FB - perhaps to follow my page there?
So if you're either Nicole or Cecily, please send me a message on FB identifying yourselves and I can then accept your friend requests.
Thanks :)

Week 8
Well, I definitely had a shock this morning when I jumped on the scales - week 8's loss = 2.9 kilos!!! This brings my total loss on the program to 19.4 kilos (in just 8 weeks)!! Or as Lynda converted for me - that is 43 pounds of butter!!!
Tried on a pair of jeans this morning that used to fit comfortably - here is a photo of what they look like now....
And here is a photo of Miss Rachel (now 6) for those that haven't seen her for awhile. This was taken last night after a day of Easter Eggs (for her) and she was finishing the day with a Ice Cream Pink Panther drink that I made her (which she said was to sweet for her).
I have survived the Easter break well - Stephan got 1 egg (from me) and then Rachel had her collection from the Easter Bunny, us and one of her Nana's. Though on saying that, chocolate has never been a weak point for me (unless it is combined with mint/peppermint) - but Hot Cross Buns - a totally different story altogether!!! I just drawl at the thought of them and survived Stephan eating 1/2 dozen of them but then 4 of them were eater while I was out of the house. But the 2 he did have while I was home was murder for me! But I did not deviate at all!!

Week 7....
Yeap, we are up to week 7 already on the Cohen's program.
Am pleased to report in with a better loss this week of 1.8 kilos which brings my total loss up to 16.5 kilos! I also did my measurements and since starting the program on 4th Feb, I have lost a total of 39.5cms around various parts of my body.
Next lot of photos will be shared when I reach the 20 kilo mark which will hopefully be in the next 2/3 weeks.
I do wish I could get my blog back to be being the chatty blog that I had years ago... but I just struggle to do an update these days. Time to change my back ground too I think.....

Sorry....
Just reaslised I hadn't updated last week at all - sorry about that.
Last week's loss was 1.9 kilos which I was very happy with and that took my total loss to 14.4 kilos.
I then got AF/TOM and a head cold at the same time - my coach warned me that I could have a very small loss this week due to my body fighting the bugs & germs.... well she was right - today's weigh in was only 300 grams! I had been telling myself that by small - she meant oh about a kilo or so... so I was so excited to be reaching the 15 kilo mark! But that wasn't to be - total loss now after 6 weeks = 14.7 kilos!
I was initally upset (as per my Facebook posts); however I have now accepted it and this week will be a new week! I am so glad I took more photos last night, as I can now really see the difference that 6 weeks has made!!! I will next share photos on here when I reach the 20 kilo mark so hopefully that won't be to far away.
I am getting more and more people commenting and I do learn how to accept compliments as I never know what to say really - ok I know I say "thank you" but sometimes that doesn't seem enough.
Right better get back to work - will try to update more frequently this week.

Week 4's result
Ooooops so sorry that it's been a whole week since I last updated.... have meant to do a couple of updates during the week but never quite made it obviously.
Today's weigh in totally blew me away with a fabulous loss of 2.7 kilos which brings my total loss down to 12.5 kilos! I am extremely happy with that and am looking forward to the 2nd month on the program. I have not deviated off the program at all so have worked bloody hard to get this loss!!
Believe me I have had some challenges and there have been a couple of days where Rachel has driven me to drink - well water it is for me! But fark I came bloody close to alcohol on those days!
Oh here are my 4 week photos. The one on the left is my beginning photo, the right hand one is 4 weeks later.
Sorry for the brief posts, having trouble blogging these days so keep it simple and straight to the point :) Hopefully I can get back to blogging like the old days where I used to be very chatty!

Week 3 result
As much as I really wanted to reach the 10 kilo mark today it wasn't meant to be!
This weeks loss was 1.6 kilos which means a total loss of 9.8 kilos in 3 weeks.
I was initially disappointed but then told myself that I have no reason to be disappointed given that I have not deviated off the program at all! So have accepted the loss and roll on week 4 and the 10 kilo mark!
Am hanging out for Stephan to go and get me some venison so I can have something different on my menu! Also, am going to treat myself to some fresh tuna steaks to give me a break from tinned tuna!
Had a very stressful weekend due to a number of things and came very close to deviating but I was strong and stayed 100% on track!

Still going strong
Yeap, still here and plodding on day by day.
Must remember not to forget to update here as there are still some people who prefer to read here than Facebook.
Got a bit stressed yesterday morning when I got on the scales and was 100grams UP from the day before! Totally threw me and initially made me upset but then realised that I had eaten dinner almost 2 hrs later than normal the night before (as I was out) and I hadn't stayed up the recommended 2.5hrs after finishing eating. But rest assured I did not go off track or anything like that! I picked myself up and went on to have a great day.
Then at work I had another curveball thrown at me when I an auto reminder popped up on my computer reminding me of a 2hr meeting in 15mins time... so I quickly ate my bread snack before heading upstairs. Then got up there to find a HUGE morning tea put on for everyone - fresh bread, cheeses, salami, humus, dips, chippies etc! I immediately retreated to the back corner of the room with my water bottle so I would avoid all temptations BUT it wasn't long before plates of food found themselves on the table down the back! Many a time the thought of "just one won't hurt me" but I did NOT give in!!! I resisted all and did not deviate at all!
Stephan has gone away for the weekend leaving Rachel and I to have a girly weekend - things are not going that well at the moment as her behaviour has been atrocious and unacceptable for a 6yr old!! I'm just sipping on my water taking lots of deep breaths right now! In the past when Stephan has been away, I have always had an indulgent night on the Saturday with bourbon & cokes, chips and dips once Rachel had gone to bed! But this won't be happening for me tonight despite the fact that her behaviour makes me feel like drinking big time!
Weigh is due on Monday morning, so I will be back on Monday with results :) Won't be doing measurements this week but will probably still do photos though but won't be sharing them as yet...
