Hi All,

The TF Easy Meals can be used for convenience - or just because you love them - as a protein serve meal as many times as you like throughout the week - only one a day though (unfortunately:D). They come in a plastic sachet that can be heated either in the microwave or in a pot of water on the stove (as per directions) and conveniently store in your pantry.

The flavours are -

Coconut Curry Chicken - Available NOW on line

Homestyle Beef Casserole - Available NOW on line

Italian Red Capsicum and Basil Chicken - Available NOW on line &

Spicy Tomato Beef Curry - Available NOW on line

All of the meals are delicious and can be served with sides such as NoTatoes, Cauliflower Rice, Fresh Stir Fried Vegies.......your imagination (and the allowed food list) is your only limitation with regard to how you can serve up these meals.

Keep your eyes on this space for the announcement of the arrival of portion controlled TF Salad Dressings.................

Making Room For New Exciting Flavours

RitaTF — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 18:26:16 GMT

Dear TF'ers

To keep the Tony Ferguson product range fresh and interesting, we are looking at adding exciting new flavours to the sachet range early next year.

To make room in the range for these great new additions, we will ‘rest’ other flavours and given that we feel all of our flavours are as delicious as each other, the decision of which flavours to rest is a difficult one.

The first flavour to be ‘rested’ will be Tropical Mango and stock of this flavour will run out within the next 3 – 4 weeks both in store and on line.

We apologise to everyone who loves their Tropical Mango shakes but we believe that when you taste the new flavours you will fall in love with them as quickly as you did with Tropical Mango.

Kind regards,

Rita TF

Share your experience with fellow TFer's

WoodyB — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:48:35 GMT

Dear All,,

We’d like to hear from you about your experience staying focused on your goal weight while following the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program.

Did you come to a weight loss plateau? How or why do you think the plateau came about? How did reaching a plateau make you feel? How did you overcome the plateau?

Most importantly, what kept you focused on your goals?

We get a lot of these types of questions from TFer's on the forum and we believe that they will benefit tremendously from your experiences and ultimately, your triumph over the more difficult times :hehe:

We look forward to reading your posts as I'm sure fellow TFer's will.

Forum Code of Conduct and Guidelines

Julian - Tony Ferguson — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:37:10 GMT

PLEASE READ THE FORUM CODE OF CONDUCT AND GUIDELINES

Please read the following Code of Conduct and guidelines very carefully. By proceeding to use our Forum you agree to adhere to these rules and guidelines and must obey them at all times. Refusal to obey these guidelines will result in the appropriate responsive actions.

Introduction

The purpose of the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program Forum is to support our members in their weight loss journey and to provide information on our products and Program. The Forum provides a community where members can share their experiences; seek the support and guidance of our staff and of other members who have shared the journey themselves.

Our Forum

This guide is designed to strike a balance between the main goal of our Forum providing support, and keeping the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for our members.

All material posted or uploaded to the Forum remains the property of the original author. The administrators of this site reserve the right, without notice, to access or view all such material (including posts, profile information, emails sent through the Forum software, and Personal Messages (PMs), to edit the subject of a post, or to move, reclassify, or delete any post or other material that is deemed inappropriate, disruptive, or fails to conform to these Forum rules.

Tony Ferguson Weightloss cannot determine the accuracy of information that may be uploaded to the Forum therefore opinions, advice and all other information expressed by participants in discussions are those of the author. You rely on such information at your own risk. You are urged to seek professional advice for specific, individual situations and not rely solely on advice or opinions given in the discussions.

Forum Specific Rules

1. We require all posts to be positive, polite, constructive, and on topic. You may not make personal attacks on other members or staff members either in public Forums or private messages.

2. There will be no profanity or foul language. It is unprofessional and offensive and will not be tolerated. Any uncalled for language will be removed and you will receive a final warning. Inappropriate or offensive language includes, but is not limited to, any language or content that is sexually oriented, sexually suggestive or abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, profane, hateful, or that contains racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable material of any kind.

3. There will be no racial, ethnic, gender based insults or any other personal discriminations. We encourage every member to treat every other member with mutual respect.

4. We will not tolerate disruptive activity online, such as persistent off-colour, deliberately argumentative or inharmonious comments and postings or statements that incite others to violate this Code of Conduct, or participate in illegal activities. Any post or thread that is deemed to present this Forum poorly may result in deletion, a warning or banning of the posting member.

5. Spamming is not permitted. No one likes it. You don't, so it's fairly obvious that our members don't either. To SPAM includes sending identical and irrelevant submissions to many different Forum areas. Usually such postings have nothing to do with the particular topic of the group or are of no real interest to those on the mailing list. To SPAM also includes misrepresenting the source of anything you say or post. Spamming is a serious violation of online etiquette.

6. Pornography, warez, or any other illegal transactions may NOT be linked in any shape or form.

7. Pictures may be posted as long as they are not explicit or offensive. If you plan to post more than one image, or the topic is based on graphics, please link the images rather than embedding them – this assists members on low speed links..

8. Signatures may contain images, but may not be any larger than 300 pixels high. If your signature is larger than the allotted size given or deemed unacceptable by staff, you will be requested by a moderator to resize or change your image. Please also try and keep text signatures under 10 lines. Failing to comply with a moderator's request will result in the removal of your signature – this assists with the speed to load of the Forum.

9. The Tony Ferguson Weightloss Forum is not to be used for trading/swapping, selling or advertising non-Tony Ferguson products, services or other online venues.

10. Should you find a post(s) that seems inappropriate, please feel free to notify our Moderators. If you have an issue with a Moderator, please use our private messaging system to message the Moderator or Administrator. Personal issues between Moderators and members may not be posted publicly and will be deleted without notice.

11. Any impersonation of a user within these Forums, in any mode of communication, is strictly prohibited and will result in a banning.

12. Violation of any of these rules will result in consequences determined on a case-by-case basis.

13. All posts must be written in English.

14. We further reserve our right to disable any account at any time for any reason and without notice. If there are any rules or guidelines you do not understand or you require further assistance, please contact us at forum@tonyferguson.com.

Private Messages

The same rules apply to private messages as apply in the Forum area. Do not abuse the Private Message system in any way. It is not there to provide an avenue for 'off the record' harassment. Complaints received about Private Messages will be dealt with in the same manner as complaints received from the general Forum.

Private Messages are called Private Messages because they are.... Private!

Please don't post other people's private messages to the public section of the board without their permission.

You may forward the messages to a moderator if you're having trouble with someone, but you may not post them in the public part of the Forum for everyone to see.

Member Names and User Information

While this Forum encourages the use of usernames, members who sign up with names that contravene the above rules on harassment and profanity will be asked to change them.

Likewise, people whose avatars break the rules will be asked to remove them.

Setting up more than one user account for the Forum is against the rules. The creation of multiple accounts will result in the removal of all of those accounts from the Forum, and the creator of those accounts will be asked not to return. Please be aware that all IP addresses of people posting are logged - we can tell who you are and where you are posting from at all times.

Upon registration or by proceeding to use our Forum, you agree to adhere to these guidelines and must obey them at all times. Refusal to obey these guidelines will result in the appropriate responsive actions.

Determination of what constitutes a breach of the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program Forum rules and guidelines rests solely with the Forum staff.

UPDATED INFORMATION REGARDING CAFFEINE

shorty — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:46:32 GMT

Dear Customers

Tony Ferguson has been cautious in our caffeine guidelines in the past as nutritional

information regarding caffeine has been conflicting. Some studies display a

detrimental affect whereas others suggest beneficial effects.

Our intentions have been to ensure you get the best weight loss and health

improvements possible. Feedback from our customers over time has shown that a

low caffeine intake has not affected their weight loss or health.

A recent look at some of the many studies conducted on caffeine appears that a

low caffeine intake is unlikely to have a huge effect on our weight or health in

general.

Health effects as a consequence of caffeine intake may differ from one person to

another depending on previous caffeine intakes, quantity consumed and health

status. If your doctor has advised you to limit or avoid caffeine for any health reason,

doctor’s advice should be followed.

We would like to take a more balanced view of the matter and have allowed a

limited amount of caffeine on the Program in the past through the allowance of 3

cups of regular tea or 5 cups of green tea. We recognise that having a morning or

afternoon cup of coffee is often a tradition that people find hard to give up and from

experience we feel that having one cup instead of the other caffeinated beverage

allowance if preferred should not affect your customer’s weight loss.

Here are the caffeinated beverage guidelines:

Limit caffeine:

· You may choose 1 cup of black coffee OR 3 cups of decaffeinated coffee

OR 3 cups of tea OR 5 cups of green tea.

· You may have as much herbal tea as desired.

· Soft drinks should be diet and caffeine free.

Editing & Deleting Posts - Updated

RitaTF — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 20:41:30 GMT

Dear TF Customers,

Apologies, the original statement was not entirely correct.

Members of the forum can edit their own posts, as always. It is true that a small number of members have not been able to do this and the IT department has assisted in most cases.

What has changed is that members no longer have the ability to delete posts, their own or anyone else's. This should not be a big issue for anyone, and is in line with the members rights of most forums.

Should you double post, for example, you can notify a moderator who will delete the second entry.

If you have any further questions in regards to the above, please do not hesitate to send an email to enquiries@tonyferguson.com.

Kind regards,

Angela TF

TF needs you!

Greg - Tony Ferguson — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 11:24:14 GMT

As you are aware, GST has been placed on our shakes, increasing the cost and in some cases making the program unaffordable for some participants. We are collating as much information as possible to argue our case to have the GST removed.

Please follow the link below to a form requesting information in regards to your experience on the program. We are especially interested in hearing about any medication reductions as a result of the Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program.

Medical Detailing

Tony Ferguson — Thu, 11 May 2006 20:17:22 GMT

Hello to everyone,

Recently,I advised that Hilda would be our Medical Detailer--calling on GP's wherever there was a need for advice re our program.

Hilda has made several doctor visits and its sad to realise that our madicos are just not aware of the educational element in our program.

Furthermore,within their ranks there is no comprehensive understanding about KETOSIS and how it really works on releasing fat deposits in the body.

On the other hand Hilda is finding some jewels in the crown--by this I mean that occasionally there is a medico who is onside and willing to refer patients to us for help.

Hilda is going to England because her husband is being offered an exciting job over there.

However we are intending to replace Hilda with hopefully someone close to her standard.

She will be back in 6 months and it will be all guns blazing in her role of converting doctors from writing bandaid scripts for appetite suppressants to referrals onto our program.

Bottom line to what I'm saying here is that medicos are not really up to speed in the control of obesity.

They receive almost zero training in the medical course at University--which is a mystery!

We will press on with this program to the doctors nevertheless because it is just so important that we help them to help us.

I'm just back from a training week in Qld for Terry White Chemists---if any of you live near a Terry White then don't hesitate to call on them ---they are wonderful people.

Best wishes

Tony Ferguson

UPDATED INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAUCES AND DRESSINGS

shorty — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:00:53 GMT

Dear Customers,

We have recently received some updated information regarding the allowed sauces and dressings list. Previously you were allowed to use a product if the carbohydrates were 5g or less per 100g, you are now allowed to use an item from this list if the carbohydrates are 5g or less per serve.

There are Extra items that may be enjoyed EVERY DAY on the Tony Ferguson

Weightloss Program. When choosing these, follow our below guidelines.

Packaged Proteins

Less than 5g of carbohydrates per 100g

Sauces, Dressings & Gravies

These products can be used, in small amounts to flavour your meals. Ensure that they are:

Less than 5g of carbohydrates per SERVE

You have a maximum of 420kJ/100 Calories total from these products per DAY

As a general guideline, you may choose from one of the following each day:

Dressings: 1- 2 Tablespoons (20-40mL)

Sauces and Gravy: ¼ - ½ a cup (60-120mL)

Mayonnaise and Caesar dressing: 1 Tablespoon (20mL)

Sugar - free Lollies

These are allowed on a daily basis but it is important to keep to the suggested amounts as they contain extra calories and too many

will cause a laxative effect:

Hard lollies e.g. TF Butterscotch: Max 6 lollies per day

Soft Chewy lollies e.g. TF Strawberry Chews: Max 3 lollies per day

Sweetened Beverages

Some sweetened beverages can be enjoyed on the Program. Ensure they are:

Dear Tfers

Some great news for Tfers that are on a no added gluten diet.

There are no new gluten free flavours as such, but some of our existing flavours have been classed as low gluten as there is no added gluten during their production.

As with the Banana and Wildberry we can not guarantee that they are 100% gluten free.

The no added gluten flavours are;

- Shakes - Banana, Chocolate and Wildberry.

- Soups - Creme of Chicken, Field Mushroom, Asian Curry and Mediterranean Tomato.

All these flavours should be suitable for Coeliac's to consume.
