Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program / Tony Ferguson / Fallen off the Wagon?

fell off tnite.. :(

12ee — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 22:01:21 GMT

tonight i was bad. real bad. all day i had been good and id been very proud of myself seeing though its my 2nd day on tf and hadnt so far cheated. tonight thou i slipped i had a twirl and a 25g pack of cheese n bacon shapes. i feel terrible but im not going to let it get me down. im just going to get back up and start again tmoz :) going to promise myself that this'll never happen again! (though i am pretty bummed) ive even already made my self a healthy lunch for tmorrow.

though there is one thing that made me a bit happier in a way today. we've just realised thhat the scales ive been using for the last couple have months have been totally out of whack. like 9kgs out of whack. wasnt til my partner jumped on and realised this this arvo. so went out and bought some more and when i stood on them i wasnt at the 110kg mark i thought i had been for the past few months, im actually only 101kg. thoough i was still really ashamed of myself. but with anyluck in the next to weeks ive dropped 5kg. itd be a great feeling.

sorry for the ranting, just needed to tell someone/anyone about my day. thanx for listenin :)

p.s my promise to myself is to not let myself get anybigger. just smaller.

No weight loss for 3 weeks!!!

nrsneeta — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:50:47 GMT

I have been doing the program for 10 weeks now! I have lost 10kg already, but over the past 3 weeks I havent lost anything!!! What can I do to kick start my body to drop the weight! this is getting very annoying, and I am not doing/eating anything more/less than during the time when I was losing......

Any Ideas????

the wagon left without me!!!

Kntess — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 10:54:01 GMT

Morning Ladies,

well it has been a while........ ok so about 8 weeks. I took a breather ( lots of stress) and I walked into the chemist and bought my shakes to re-start and guess what i still haven't!!!!! I was soooooooo focused and now just not. why? I have gained back about 4 kgs possibly more (too scared to check) I have moved to perth from Mildura and not myself. I will catch that wagon just not having much luck flagging it down to pick me up lol

Cheated- Then felt so sick all night

Jesslee70 — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:13:05 GMT

Hey there, well last night I slipped pretty big time. I had an egg on toast and then later that night I made some nachos :'( And I've been so good and finally broke the 100kg mark! And then all night I couldn't sleep as I had the worst pains in my stomach. Does this happen to anyone else? So now that my body hasn't had these foods for awhile it can tolerate it any more? :crying:

♥♥♥ TF Confessional Booth ♥♥♥

one-last-try — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 14:25:45 GMT

It's been about a week since my last confession. Today i cheated. To redeem myself i am going to try and give up 1 piece of fruit per day until i weigh in on Friday. That's all, feel free to add your own confession. :D:)

Sorta fell down, but i'm getting back up!

Cori-Jade — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 01:20:11 GMT

I sort of fell off the bandwagon... it just turned out quite good for me...
Tony Ferguson started me eating healthily enough to begin losing weight, so when i stopped buying the shakes, i kept eating well, and exercising, and still losing it. I started Tony Ferguson weighing a rather embarrassing 156 kilos in February of this year, and got down to 132 kilos, by the time i stopped the diet

Now i'm 115 kilos... it's November... and i'm back in a rut, i haven't gained any, but i'm not losing anymore either over the past 2 months, i need something to push me in the right direction again.
My biggest problem, which caused me to stop the diet, was just being able to AFFORD the shakes every week, with the groceries i need to buy on top of it, it's not the easiest thing for me to manage.
I'm attempting to get back into it, i've got the shakes for this week, and in theory, i'll buy them next week too, it'll be great if i can stick to it until all the weight is gone this time!

Cant stick to anything...

SarahBetty — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:03:34 GMT

You know how i was sayin like a couple of weeks back that i am doing this thing for real.. i should have said i was lying, i went realy good for like 3 days and then little by little the cravings got to me. trying to study for exams and eat good foods so don't work for each other.
i could feel the pressure in those first 3 days, it reminded me of how hard and how rewarding it was, i was hungry, but risisted, and i felt that i didnt want chocolate.

but then we went out for tea and it was all down hill from there. i just want to get home so i can do this properly... i cant wait another 2 weeks, nor can i start tommorw and do it for the next two weeks properly (although i am going to try!!)

argh, let me go home already where i dont have to worry about exams and everything else :(

Sorry, had to have a winge :)
Good Luck!

Lost

Belli-Bella — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 06:41:25 GMT

I had to think twice about posting this because nothing I say about the way I've fallen off the wagon is new. I seem to live in this forum! There must be a point when the program is simply "not for" someone, and I'm sure I've reached it but I don't know what else to do.

I started TF in July 2006 and lost 30kg but today when I weighed myself I have regained 15 of those kilos. And that hasn't been in one sitting - that's been as part of a yo-yo process where it's been a little harder to lose with each bounce back.

I've been hovering around the same weight for nearly a year (since my transfer to a country town). I'd say that for 40% of that time, I've been SUPER good (not just casual good)- exercising twice a day, sticking to the diet etc. But that's usually the beginning of the week and by Wed/Thurs (at best, Fri) I start eating junk food. Some people have suggested protein or cutting back on the exercise, but I can't do one without the other because I feel like I'm cheating when I don't do exercise or vice versa, if I don't eat right while exercising.

However, the energy required for exercise - the energy of constantly having to psyche myself up for the next round of attack - is wearing me down and I am physically, mentally and EMOTIONALLY drained. My self esteem is sinking again because I feel bloated and my clothes are getting uncomfortable. I must be bad advertising for the program each time I open a TF sachet at work. WOrkmates have seen me using the products all year and yet I've gotten bigger!!:w00t:

I just feel lost and dispirited. :crying:I want my '06 mojo and I don't know how to get it back! It's depressing to realise it's already been two years.

Desperately Seeking Support & Motivation

littlelevigirl — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:02:25 GMT

Hey everybody, well this is my second attempt on the Tony Ferguson Program. Started earlier in the year and was doing really well, (I think I had lost a total of 10Kgs at the time), and I was so pleased with my progress, then went on a holiday to New Zealand for a few weeks, and came back having lost all focus and motivation, and had put on pretty much most of the weight I had lost previously. So I started back on the Tony Ferguson Program again a couple of months ago now, and I've been trying my hardest to re-focus and get back on track, but feel I am failing miserably, although during this time, surprisingly, I have managed to lose about 8Kgs. I even started writing a personal journal about my weightloss journey to help re-motivate myself, and that worked fine for a little while, and then I just lost all motivation again. This last week, I have basically just sabotaged myself, as definatley not in a good place mentally. I just feel so low and am almost at stage where I am so unhappy about the way I look and feel. Am finding it very hard to find one good thing about myself, mainly due to the fact that I go well for a while and then fall off track and just destroy all my hard work... am feeling like a complete failure. I don't want to give up as Tony Ferguson Program works for me when I stick to it, but this week has not been the case... my own fault I know. Please, please, please... how do I get back on track, re-focus and stay at that point. I struggle especially round TTOM and it's doing my head in. I used to think I could do this, but now am struggling so much. The thing that scares me the most is that I am going back to New Zealand in December for another whole month and am worried I will only end up doing more damage weight wise. I can only hope that I would have learnt from my last mistake and not let this happen, but when I am with family and friends, it is hard not to eat the things they do. But I am desperate not to let that happen and I would like to at least lose another few kilos between now and the time I leave to go back to New Zealand, which gives me another 3 to 4 weeks, to lose some more weight. How do I get back on track, get myself in a good head space and stay there when faced with life's daily challenges ????? I am starting back on my Shakes etc on Monday after the weekend, (beginning of a new week, starting out fresh), hoping then I will find myself in a better place. I would love any suggestions or advice given... please, please, DESPERATLEY SEEKING SUPPORT & MOTIVATION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

meh i give up

mzjessii — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:19:43 GMT

chooky — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:53:25 GMT

Hey guys, this time is it.. I am so sick of starting this and then stopping after a week! Why is it that there is something always on the week that I get started.

I must say the shake aways are brilliant.. what a time saver!! Having three kids and getting them ready for school is hectic so when I just have to grab a shakeaway wow!!! And its yum!

I think they will help me keep on it this time round and my short goal is to see some sort of result by the second week of dec (my bday) and hopefully (touch wood) fit in a dress by NYE:exclamation: My starting weight now is 76.5

I'm back

whitevixen69 — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:02:16 GMT

Hi all after along hiatus, and weight gain i thought i need to get back on track, the last weigh in i had and that was sometime in late april i was 108.6kg and 128cm around the waist. I maintained that weight (even though i have so much more to lose) till about 5 weeks ago the weight had started to creep up again. I went in yesterday to buy the shakes and get weighed and measured all over again. I now weigh 113.2 and waist measurement is 131cm (to my horror). I was pleased to learn that now we can have half a cup of pumpkin 3 times a week. I hope that this time i stay with it until i reach my goal weight.

chocolate binger

dietjunky — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:34:29 GMT

Was I naughty??

* Crazy Cat Lady * — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:43:12 GMT

I'm on day 10 and for lunch today, I had my salad and protein in one wrap. I'm on Plan 2 so I'm having 2 shakes and 2 protein meals a day.

Have I just stuffed up? I'm feeling very, very guilty.

need some help.... a buddy to keep me honest

sheri_lou — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:16:47 GMT

Hello all,
i have stumbled yet again...i'd like to have a support buddy who weighs about the same as i do...128kg so we can keep each other honest, maybe to email or pm each day with how we are going, share the load so to speak...

It's reallly hard being married to a naturally thin man who just eats and eats and doesnt understand my lifetime of struggles.

Anyway...drop me a line if you too are in need of some accountability.

cheers Sheri

3 days on TF and already fallen of the wagon!!

flaky_angel — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 10:16:11 GMT

i am so disappointed! this is my 4th day on TF and already i am restarting! the first 3 days i've already fallen of the wagon!!! :ermm:
yesterday, my 3rd day on TF, i ate a couple of little chocolate santa that my hubby brought for my kids from aldi. i kept walking in and out of the kitchen looking at the small piece of unwrap white coin chocolate that my toddler left on the kitchen bench. i resisted until night time i couldnt not resist no more! i took a tiny tiny bit and chucked the rest in the bin. i was scar if i didnt do that i would be gobbling the whole thing down!:P

i find that i do okay during the day but at night its the worse part for me. my cravings kicks in. ( im also on chromium)
i guess i am so used to my old habits of not eating during the day and pigging out ice cream at night.

do anyone weight them self daily? a day before i started TF i went to Target and brought myself a digital scale that reads body fat and water percentage. Now i cant help but weight myself everyday!!! i know its probably not a good idea to do that. Sometimes i think is my scale broken or is it me but the number keeps jumping up and down in a space of 24hrs! on sunday i weight 70.4kgs, ( sunday and monday i drank optifast) , tuesday i got my TF package and started at lunch time. before i start i weight myself and it was 69.9kgs. wednesday i was 69kgs, thurdays i weight 69.4kgs. i think i gain cos i pig out on a whole big pack of rice crackers. yesterday i was 69.9kgs ( had a big greasy bqq steak and couple chocolate santas, did half hour of exercise) this morning before breakfast/ had my morning pee, weight myself 70.4kgs!!!!!! :crying:
i am now back to my old weight! man, i am kicking myself now for being so silly not to resist those food!!

oh well today is a new day, a new beginning.
15 / 11/ 08 restart 70.4kgs.

not as committed

Gunashowem — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 07:33:20 GMT

I am losing motivation especially when i have pms...

i have lost 16.9 and have 9.5kg to go i will be happy just to be under 70kg and that is only 4.5kg away

im just over it i wana eat normal food again and am tired and want to be "normal" not dieting... I have been increasing my exercise cos i have not been sticking exactly to the plan and im just not losing as much as i was at the start so im getting unmotivated...

HELP i am almost there

I turned 17 yesterday & went to sizzler for dinner.

MI$$.NIKKI — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 12:41:35 GMT

It's true, im now 17. & last night went to sizzler for dinner.

I was good, eating tones of good things.(I love the capsium there had heaps) I cheated a little, mainly hand a little bit of cookies and cream, but I don't feel guilty as I don't cheat often and it was my birthday and I DIDN'T HAVE A BIRTHDAY CAKE,that's right I didn't get that ha, mum made jelly but I was too full for it.

Ps, I couldn't cheat too much formal next week and my dress is a size 10, and I just fit it perfectly.(I started this diet being a size16+)

Anyway that's all I have to say, hope everyone journey is going lovely.
Xx

Best way to get back on

Missie25 — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 15:21:27 GMT

Hi,

I really need some help i have been on tony ferguson before and then new years came along and ever since then i have not been able to get back on it. i was doing really well lost 10kg and i can just feel my self getting bigger has anyone out there got any tips for me i really want to get rid of some weight before xmas .....

Pls Help

Restarting after 8 months

CMmumoftwo — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:21:24 GMT

Ok, I did do TONY wonderfully, but couldnt afford it anymore.

Now im working again I can afford it, but can only do it to get me in to eating rutine, as Im never bothered to eat, so I always NOT eat all day and then eat a big dinner..

after feeding kids im never bothered and just sit down and do something else.

so now I am having a shake for lunch and dinner which is easy and is getting me into eating healthy and regualry so when my job finishes I will be in a good rutine and just grab something healthy...

HELP!!!! Fallen off the wagon and can't seem to get motivated to get back on.

babycoconutz — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 16:57:00 GMT

I started Tony Ferguson a couple of months ago for 2 weeks until I got sick. Since then I just haven't been able to motivate myself to get back on. I don't have to lose that much weight so ideally it shouldn't be hard for me as the quicker I start the quicker I will get results. You would think my wedding next month would motivate me but no.............

I know many in this forum have fallen off the wagon at times and yes apart from just getting back on, I would be interested in knowing what things have helped others to actually stick with the program. I can't seem to lose the hunger feeling and I think that is part of my problem as well as my lack of planning.

For me my weight loss is inhibited not by the quantity I eat but by not eating regularly and snacking on the run. I can't seem to find a balance in my busy lifestyle....any suggestions?

Fell off, but have started running behind to catch up!

sparkysgirl — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 08:56:24 GMT

So, I've had a sucky 3 weeks. I hit my usual 'comfort zone' of weight loss where I normally fall in a heap...so I did expect it to happen. BUT this time I am getting back on. I just HAVE to get back on otherwise I'll never have a baby.

Today is the day. I WILL DO IT! (Go me!!)

I turn 17 tommorow.

MI$$.NIKKI — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 14:15:56 GMT

Im 17 tommorow,also I graduate and my formal are both next week. AND I can't gain weight before formal,

But being 17, is big. And im so close to goal only 6kg away from goal.

So what im basically saying is.
I hope im stong for my birthday and don't pig out on junk.

The missing link

toofatfortahiti — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 08:11:34 GMT

For the past week I've felt a little off, more recently it's been quite noticable, felt a bit jangly and strange and had cravings for all kinds of rubbish, some of it I don't even like!

This baffled me until yesterday I realised I haven't had my chromium or vitamins for about a week!

I keep the bottles out where I refill my water, to remind me to take them, but moved them during a kitchen clean.

I'm taking 3 chromiums today to try and get me back on track,

I feel so silly. :blush:

Back Again... Need Support!!

BrightOne — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:27:55 GMT

After getting so close to my goal, I stopped TF to go overseas. I have put back on 2.5kg and just feel really frustrated. I got so close and now I am feeling like it is further away than ever! Because I have never gotten quite to my goal, when I am not on TF I eat badly because I always have it in front of me that I am going to start TF again so it doesn't matter what I eat! I am also having trouble starting again. I tried last week but gave up. I have a lot of stress at the moment so I keep using that as an excuse - it's just not the right time. I just want to get to my goal and stop making excuses!

i need help

mzKeLy... — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 08:02:10 GMT

terrible food at work, i had no choice.

nurse101 — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 20:46:41 GMT

i have just finished a double shift at work, it has been a long long day. i didn't pack dinner because i didn't know i was having to do a double due to no staff. so then i had to get food from the cafftiera which is basicall hot chips, toasted sandwich or some carb load curry/pasta thing not even any ripe banana's. so i had a vegie patti and some lettce. i feel so bad and hope it hasn't undone all the hard work i have done. dam nurse shortage.:crazy:

I gave up a few months ago...

babyblue88 — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 07:10:24 GMT

...after losing 10 kilos in a couple of months and now I've piled the weight back on, plus more. I'm scared of jumping on the scales!

I'm thinking about starting with Tony Ferguson again (one great affair!) and really need some motivation to drag my sorry (plump) a** into Life Pharmacy once again!

Slipping...

fireytaz — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 13:08:18 GMT

Hi everyone. I need to have a whinge. I have been doing TF for 8.5 weeks now and I have really enjoyed it this time around (this is my second time). But this week I am really failing. I know what I am doing wrong but I can't seem to stop myself (eating crap). The week before last I was away on holidays and pretty much ate crap all week and then last week when i got back i went straight back to the shakes and never faultered once and made up for my week away. But this week I am sick and tired of the shakes and not being able to have a sandwich or pumpkin/potato with my dinner. I am feeling a bit irritable lately and the last thing i want for lunch is another salad and shake.

I have only lost 6 kg in the 8 weeks but this i am not concerned with (of course i would have liked to have lost more, but i would rather lose it slow). My main problem is, is that I only have 4 kg left to my goal but i just dont know how to get there. I got down to this weight last time around and then i stopped losing. Therefore i got frustrated and fell off the wagon for good. I just feel like this is going to happen again.

I was thinking of maybe going to talk to my TF ladies and see if maybe the one shake plan would help me get by. I am happy with my weight but i just want to get rid of spare tyre that seems to spill out over everything i wear. And to do that i need to get under 60. I work out three times a week at Curves. I might ask my trainer there about how to get by too. I just want to eat normal healthy food again, but I didnt want to do that until i reached goal!! I am sure if i went on one shake a day plus kept up my exercise that i will make goal.

What does everyone think?? Should i just wake up to myself and stop complaining?????

Fell off wagon and felt really sick

LifeBeginsNow — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:11:56 GMT

Hi. Well, I had 16 weeks with hardly a hiccup and lost 21.9kg along the way. This cup weekend though, I fell off the wagon and was trailling behind it for a few days. :angry: I ended up having a few cakes and biscuits, a small portion of pasta, some bread, olive dip and crackers and a little bit of alcohol. It wasn't a planned thing - I suppose these slip ups rarely are, but once I fell down it was like a roller coaster. I just kept trying to get back and then falling all the way down again. Three days of slip ups. :crazy: On day 2 of being on the straight and narrow and one thing I recall though was feeling really sick at the end of those days - quite nauseous and felt like throwing up. Is this a reaction to having carbs or sugar again? Has anyone else experienced the same? Does this mean that when I go on maintenance that I may experience the same when I introduce carbs back in?

jumping back on the wagon

laura1984 — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 06:46:25 GMT

Today im fully back on the wagon after getting lost for a week while my baby was in hospital. I hope i can jump right back oin with out falling. it feels like im starting from scratch

Very Upset

Jesslee70 — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 09:20:29 GMT

Well on friday somehow I managed to fall up the stairs and fracture my elbow, its the worst pain I have ever had, so I was taken to hospital and drugged up and didn't really eat all weekend because the morphine made me throw up so yesterday I had carbs. And now the gym is off limits :sick::crying: because I'm in a sling that straps my arm to my body!! I'm loosing faith that I can do this....

Dealing with guilt

Plow King — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 15:42:04 GMT

Anyone got any good tips?

I'm not on the TF program, I have made my own eating/exercise plan. Basically the long story short is I havn't eaten any junk food in about a month (Literally none) And about an hour ago I just had a fat free/low sugar/low gi mini tub of ice cream with about 70 calories in it. Why can't I shake the feeling of guilt even though it basically won't affect my weight at all.

Food Diary

Bozzy85 — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 08:06:44 GMT

Hey guys just wondering...

Do you think it's a good idea to keep a food diary so I can keep up to date with what I have had during the day and look back during the week and see whats been happening. I'm thinking of doing it - I have a gorgeous little book I'm going to write in which I will also note excercise and water intake etc.... any ideas?:cool:

One majorly Depressed Being.

SarahBetty — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:47:24 GMT

wow it has been so long since i have logged onto these forums, how depressing. so obvioulsy alot of people would not have heard of me, and yes i was a very quiet forumer (is that even a word) when i was on TF last year. now for the long winded depressing story.

Last year i began TF in... may i think. and in 2 months i lost a staggering 25kg and i looked amazing (or so others said) for my year 12 ball (which i managed to look amazing for :D) and i still felt big. Anyho's i stopped TF temporaily while i went away on a university trip thingo, and i came back and never really got back on to the wagon proberly. ended up finishing school, going to america for a holiday, ATE hehe and then got accepted into uni.

That was all fine, but as i started life in uni and college, the food has gotten to me, the late night study cravings have kicked in and i have managed to put on almost 30 kg. (my 25kg PLUS 5kg) i am majorly depressed, well ok not majorly depressed, but pretty depressed, and i really really want to get back onto TF again and loose the weight, only it is really hard at college as all meals are provided and are almost always fatty.

i have been peering through the before and after photos, being simply amazed at what people have done, i only wish i didnt stop last year i would have been darn fine right about me... that would have to be my biggest regret!! grr..

so now it is up to me in the holidays to kick my backside and get back into it, i am really hoping i can get some support from all you lovely people on here.. and i know you can help me through it :)

Anyways, dunno if it is worth me showing you what i used to look like wen i lost that weight last year, but i can show u if u like :)

So thats my story so far.. i am starting again tommorw. Well hopefully. :S there should be your own personal blog thing that you can update people on (on these forums) meh.

Happy Weight loosing :P

toodoloo! :D

STUDYING!!!!

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:48:20 GMT

hi, i havent fallen off the wagon but can see it in my immediate future
studying at the moment for uni exams and am at home all day, have arranged to meet up with people over the week (mixed blessing because i am more busy when i study with people but everyone brings study food to eat whilst we do it!)
Does anyone have tips for a) dealing with stress whilst on this diet? before tf i would eat chocolate, go for walks and drink heaps of coffee!
and also b) dealing with boredom eating when you are at the computer?

thanxs!
:D

I completely suck at this....

soon2bslimsammy — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 16:27:28 GMT

Not sure if I am posting this in the right section but here goes

I completely stuffed up... I haven't even been doing this for a week yet, havent even had my first weigh in and I have "fallen off the wagon"

I was doing really well for the first couple of days, was sticking to the shakes, drinking my water, having heaps of veggies etc BUT then I worked night duty. Friday night, I was pretty good, had my shake on my break but I did have a diet coke (they dont sell caffeine free in the vending machines at the hospital) which was instead of my usual 5- 6 double shots of coffee that I normally live on...

But then Saturday it all fell to pieces... for starters on Saturday after my 3 hr sleep when I got home, I left the house without having a shake and was starving... so I had a sausage sanga (which at least after I had it I felt really crook...so know not to get another) then on night duty on Saturday night... I got bored on my break and gave into temptation and had a pack of those snakata rice pop thingys and another diet coke... and in my self destructive sleepy haze today I am pigging out

So that is my sad and pathetic attempt at TF and I am asking for help from any fellow night shifters or anyone who can give me some advice on how to get back on the wagon (ie do I start again today or start fresh tomorrow?) how to stick to TF and how to plan my menu for the days I do night shift (I am on call for friday and saturday nights so I dont sleep on Friday, and only sleep for a few hours on saturday just in case I dont get called in) I am on the 2 serves of protein per day if that helps.

Sorry about the long post but I really need help, I wasnt planning on telling anyone about being on TF (just in case I failed)but my hubby accidently told my in laws (he is very apologetic) and I let it slip to my mum...and I cannot fail in front of them (once again)

I'm back.

Hi everyone

Well I have now been married for 6 months and my wedding was fabulous.

I lost the weight as per my sig but am so ashamed to say I have put most of it back on. I went from being SO strict back to normal food back to binging on crappy foods.

I went shopping earlier for a dress for my husband's Xmas party and almost left in tears, it was humiliating. I found one that was beautiful & it fits but I'll need to lose a couple of kg to make it look really good. So right there and then I made the decision that I am sick of looking like I do and I am going to do something about it for good. I am so sick of shopping at the plus size shops. I am only 27 and sick of feeling so frumpy and yuck. I don't want my child to get to school age and him get taunted having a 'fat mum.'

So- wish me luck. See you all again soon.
