It all started last weekend when my brother-in-law was in town and he arranged our family bbq. It turned out to be lots of meat with bread rolls, followed by more bread rolls and chips for dinnerl. I have felt terrible since and have not been sticking to the plan all week. I have barely drunk any water and not eaten my fruit or vegies. I have been having my shakes and my dinner, but following off with either a TF dessert or a crunch ice-cream after dinner. Monday night I went out with the ladies and didnt have any rice, but ate my whole protein dish of chilli beef, plus and entre of vietnamese steamed rolls with prawns. I thought the rolls would be small, however were filled with rice noodles!!!:crying: I stopped in on the way home past the petrol station and picked up a picnic choc bar. Now yesterday we visited a different shopping centre and I had chinese for lunch, even though I packed a salad and a TF shake away.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have my weigh in today and I so dont want to see how much I have put on. I was so determined, however since the family bbq, I have been feeling like crap, with all the meat and carbs and just given in to everything.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How do I get my motivation back? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;PS: I am also going out for dinner tomorrow night and spending a kid free day with my husband tomorrow.</description><pubDate>Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:16:28 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>mum2 Jemaine</dc:creator></item><item><title>I have got to the point where im lost</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic519573-16-1.aspx</link><description>Over the last week i have been really naughty! bread, chocolates, cheeses, BBQ chicken for dinner....Ect&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i keep saying to myself that im going to be good tomorrow but it is getting easier and easier to just keep saying it!

I need help again. I don't know where to start. Help me! How do I train my mind into thinking that I need to keep going when I get those compliments. I hate it when people say you better stop losing weight or there will be nothing left of you. I believe it and it is way, way to soon to believe it. I was in such a good frame of mind before.

I have, it seems, been on the weight loss diet cycle for ever!  I try one diet, then think 'Oo perhaps that diet will get better results", so jump over to another plan, then think the same again and jump over to another diet and so the cycle begins.  I tend to stick to the same three or four and just go round and round, never achieving the weightloss I desperately need and want to achieve.  I am not sure if other people do this, but it is seems to be a real pattern for me.  Even with TF, when I went back over my past posts, I realised that since March 08, I have tried it no less than five times, and again, here I am.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have asked myself what it is about dieting and losing weight that makes me 'diet-hop' and truthfully, I don't know.  But I do know that of all the diets I have tried (and believe me there are MANY), TF is the one where I have lost weight and have felt energetic doing it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have a degenerative spine condition that apparently should only occur in 70 year olds (I am 41).  Apparently I was born with a predisposition for it.  Currently, I am able to walk, exercise (low impact) and lead a normal life.  You would never know I have it and for a large part of the time I forget I have it, to be honest.  I was diagnosed with it in Dec 2007 and since then rather than losing the weight, which will vastly improve my chances of long term health, I have actually put on a further 10kgs and this is why I am ashamed.  I feel so ashamed that I have been unable to take control of this beast.  What has happened is that I have developed incredible pain at night with my back, almost certainly not helped by my weight and this morning, my husband begged me to do something as last night the pain was at an all time high.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, here I am again, trying to take control of this beast, this weightloss animal that has me in its claws.  With nearly 40kgs to lose, I have a way to go, but I guess baby steps at first. one step at a time.  I do find inspiration in all your stories and especially the success photos.  I scour for people who I believe had a body shape like mine and fanatasize about looking like they look now.  I even have a bikini (that has been in cupboard for years!) that I dream of wearing to the beach.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good luck with your weight loss and I look forward to gaining support and inspiration from the forum.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Take care&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sarah</description><pubDate>Sun, 16 Aug 2009 08:32:25 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>journeygirl</dc:creator></item><item><title>Avoiding going back in for a weigh-in</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic519941-16-1.aspx</link><description>Earlier this year i moved, the house i moved to was being renovated so i didnt have a sink or an stove for about 5 months. I found it really difficult to stick to TF and just stopped going in for weigh-ins.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I dont weigh myself at home but i can feel (and see) that ive put weight on. I'm now just procrastinating going in because I dont want to see the look of disappointment on the girls face, and i kind of dont want to know if i weigh more than what i started at.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I know its silly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I lost 8kg in a few months to begin with, but i think im going backwards now.</description><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:03:47 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>queenboxi</dc:creator></item><item><title>Wagon bucked me OFF!!!!!!</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic107427-16-1.aspx</link><description>Hi All,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've had a bad few days....... and I feel like crap for it!!!!! No more excuses, no more bullshit, and no more cheating. I've had enough. I've stuck a "FAT" photo up on my fridge to remind me of how far I have come and to make me realise that I will be like that again if I don't pull my finger out!!!! So today is my turn around point. This weekend we are going camping, it will be a challenge, but I am ready for it. We have an awesome car fridge/freezer to keep all my water cold, so I have no excuse not to have my shakes!!! So..... I am all saddled up and ready to ride this wagon again. I decided to add my before and now pics here, it really is a big reality check!!!!!!! The 1st photo was taken at my heaviest at around 108kg, a couple of years ago. I went to Weight Watchers and lost a bit, and started TF weighing 94kg. The second photo is me now, at 83kg. I've got about 8kg to go until goal....... &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src="http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Uploads/Images/36e013dd-b719-44a8-b239-8220.jpg"&gt;   &lt;IMG src="http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Uploads/Images/7bf6ba2c-d99b-44ff-833a-a30b.jpg"&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 31 Oct 2006 08:14:29 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Ral</dc:creator></item><item><title>Finding inspiration</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic520064-16-1.aspx</link><description>I was due to start TF a couple of weeks ago, but had a set back and left it.  I am now ready to get back onto it in full and logged on for some inspiration.  I KNOW I can do this, I just needed to find the inspiration to do it.  Well, after looking in the before/after pics forum, I found it.  Those people are amazing and seeing their transformations has really inspired me to make a go of this.  Six weeks until my gold coast holiday and i am determined to be under 100kgs for it.  I noticed that the really successful slimmmers kept meticulous records of their weigh-ins, so have decided to do the same.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good luck everybody on your TF journey and if you need inspiration look at the before/after section, it is awe-inspiring!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Take care,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sarah x</description><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:53:49 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>journeygirl</dc:creator></item><item><title>help.......  dont know why i cant do this</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic519457-16-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"&gt;&lt;TBODY&gt;&lt;TR&gt;&lt;TD class=smalltxt vAlign=top&gt;&lt;SPAN id=ctl02_ctlTopic_ctlPanelBar_ctlTopicsRepeater_ctl04_lblFullMessage&gt;&lt;FONT color=#3333bb size=4 face="Comic Sans MS"&gt;hi.....ive been reading heaps of posts over the last few weeks trying to motivate myself back on to TF.......i was doing so well for about 5 weeks, not a huge weight loss but i was plodding along nicely and felt great.......cant tell you what happened, but alas, i am back to old habits.....disgusted with myself etc etc!!   &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#3333bb size=4 face="Comic Sans MS"&gt;i dont get why i stopped doing TF as i soooo want to lose my weight!   where do you get your will power and motivation from.????  the b4 and after pics i look at every day are just amazing.....i so envy you guys who are at goal or near it....  i envy everyone actually who can stick with this.!!!......it isnt rocket science and it is a great easy to follow program.........

I thought I got drunk at that wedding 2 weeks back, OMG, let me tell you, I had 2 bottles of wine on Saturday night at my brother in laws 21st, some cowboy shots and I ate 3 long breadrolls, and 4 tacos, as well as some lollies and chips.. YUK!!.. I did throw up at the end of the night, before draggin my husband into bed and cleaning his vomit off the dining room floor YUK!!.. Sunday rolled around and I felt like crap.. really yucky... Then we had a friend of mines daughter birthday. I think they were expecting about 500 guests with the amount of food they had, it just kept coming out, and out and out.. By the end of that, in the heat I felt like I was going to die lol.. We came home, sat on the lounge all night and went to bed feeling really yucky.. &lt;BR&gt;Then Yesterday came, it was my husbands 24th Birthday!!... So needless to say, we ate whatever all day.. I had meatloaf on toast for breakfast, and meatloaf on rolls for lunch.. I could feel the oil pumping through my arteries it was that yucky. Then we had for dinner spaghetti bolognaise pinwheels, Spaghetti meat and sauce wrapped in pastry with cheese and spinach. And home made garlic bread.. Then chocolate mud cake for dessert.. OH BOY, Did I feel like crap.. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I knew It was all bad for me, I knew I was feeling sick, but I didnt stop myself.. I dont know why, I think I was wrapped up in the festivities of birthdays to think twice.. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So im here to share it with you all, share all my sins, and hopefully be forgiven.. I gained 1.4kgs this weekend according to my wii, I did think it was going to be more than that.. But still a gain of 1.4kgs is disgusting!!... Im back on this morning, with my bottle of water at hand !!... Still feeling yucky though.. very icky feeling inside.. Oh, and i am STILL having toilet troubles, I think it might be more than just this diet that is doing it to me.. But all my doc says is take laxatives, I want a long term solution.. not just a quick fix, which im having to do with peritone. :(...</description><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:33:07 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>rachy19842000</dc:creator></item><item><title>We all come crawling back...</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic519843-16-1.aspx</link><description>Well!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I fell off the wagon... Into a river of terrible terrible food!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Five months ago, I moved out of home and for a good while I was living from paycheck to paycheck and couldn't afford TF anymore. So I was eating terrible, cheap, fatty foods. The great thing was! I didn't have scales! So my pigging out was completely guilt free.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now I've gotten on top of things, I looked in the mirror and just went 'erugh'. It wasn't pleasant to see myself climbing back up to where I started. I had never made my goal weight so it was very disappointing and the thought was always in the back of my mind. However, Now I have decided that my long term health is the most important thing, I want to be able to swim in the pool at Christmas time and not be the fat cousin. I've found that the money I was spending on alcohol every weekend easily could cover my TF cost.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I am back! And this time I am going to make it to my goal weight.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My short term goal is to lose 5 kilos before Christmas time, so I can at least drop the weight I have gained, and a little bit more. After all they made such a fuss after the first 10 kilos, I'd hate to disappoint them by turning up chubby again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My long term goal is, by next year when I start my practicals working in schools as a student teacher, I want to be skinny so I can wear the suits and skirts I want. I want to have lost 10 kilos.</description><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:22:20 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Sarah Darling</dc:creator></item><item><title>frustrated with myself!!!!</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic519802-16-1.aspx</link><description>gah i get all focus and determined that I will do this....then I get bored or upset and its straight to the fridge!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I really would like to do this, just need a way to combat a way to get over the emotional/bored eater!

Why do I always sabotage myself, this isnt the first time I have tried the shakes again after my weight gain, and I always stuff it up, anyway I am going to try real hard to be as good as ever over the weekend, and hopefully I might still have a little loss on Monday, anyway I can sympathize with all of you, its hard its a struggle, but I know I can do it, I have done it before, and if I can do it....so can all of you   :)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Good Luck&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers Caz</description><pubDate>Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:08:22 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>cazjippo</dc:creator></item><item><title>its all too hard</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic518627-16-1.aspx</link><description>the wagon is nowhere in sight. i'm over looking for it. maybe i am destined to be fat for the rest of my life.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i am finding everything so hard lately. nothing in life is simple and easy. i am sick of having to work so hard at everything and despite how hard i try i get nowhere. feeling rather depressed at the moment :( Struggling to think of positives in my life at the moment :(&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I cant do this diet.</description><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:37:30 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>eflow*take3</dc:creator></item><item><title>OMG !!

However my issue is when it comes to the weekends. I dont have a temptation for bread - my issue is when I am home all day and I get peckish. I look at my jelly and go "thats for later" so I find something else.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#3333bb&gt;I think I have tried to jump back on this wagon now about 3 times and I continue to fail.

Usually this is because I have not managed to stick with the program.  However, in recent weeks I have been going through what one might call a bit of a transformation - emotionally, that is, the body will be following suit shortly!!  I now am feeling quite strong and determined to stick to TF.  Of everything I have tried, I believe in it the most.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, I started today - got everything I needed first thing so I am giving myself the best possible chance.  I can't find my cook book, but will get recipes off the forum.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am off to the gold coast in 8 weeks and hope to lose at least 8kgs in that time, which will put me below 100, which I haven't been in about three years.  I have 35kgs to lose, but I will be content at this point with being below 100 - kind of a mental barrier thing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, just checking in to say hi - Again!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Take care,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sarah x</description><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:33:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>journeygirl</dc:creator></item><item><title>Trying to get focused again</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic518365-16-1.aspx</link><description>Well exams are over now YAY and I just want to get back on track 100%.&lt;br&gt;This is about the point (weight and time) I always let things slip in and then I think it's not working and give up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am struggling tho to stay focused - I have a good few days of 100% plan then I let something slip and it seems to have a big effect on my loss that week.&lt;br&gt;As of this morning I am weighing in 800g more than my Saturday weigh in and I hate knowing that if I'll prob just stay the same weight this week by being 100% from now till weigh in and then I find the weekend hard to stay on track again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's been a while since I've had a really good weight loss amount in a week - can any one recommend what I can do to try and get a really good week other than sticking to plan 100%.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I just want this to work this time and I hate sabotaging myself - WHY grr do i do it?!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry just ranting to myself now - need to get it out and move on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hope everyone else is doing well :)</description><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:22:26 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Steviebabynz</dc:creator></item><item><title>Family occasions &amp; going out</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic518205-16-1.aspx</link><description>I am in my 2nd week and yesterday we all went down the beach.

Some months ago, I lurked in the forums for inspiration. This is my first visit back for a while.  My story may be familiar to a few people here.  I started TF in March and lost 13 kilos in 3 months then I started slipping into my old eating habits and put TF "ön hold" for a while. I ended up putting back on 4 of those kilos, something which, at the start I never thought I would be capable of doing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyway, since I have an extended period of time off work, I thought now would be a great time to get back on track so, 2 weeks ago, I joined a gym, and stocked up on TF supplies. I've been going to the gym almost every day, doing their group exercise classes and I've taken up yoga as well which I just love.  But although I have the exercise side of things under control, I'm finding that sticking to the TF program is getting more and more difficult. It's like my brain is sabotaging everything.  The more I exercise, the more I am tempted to eat all of the wrong food. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know this is totally irrational but why am I doing this to myself and how do I fix it? (Also, being at home a lot more is making things a little more difficult)</description><pubDate>Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:48:53 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>flaime</dc:creator></item><item><title>back after 3 months or so</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic517155-16-1.aspx</link><description>:)&lt;FONT size=6 face=Tahoma&gt; &lt;FONT size=4&gt;hi everyone, hope your all going well &amp;amp; happy, when i started on TF it was the 3 week in to it &amp;amp; i was loving everyday, i ended up getting really sick &amp;amp; went off tf, im BACK yay me :-) really missed coming on here &amp;amp; eating well,feeling great &amp;amp; looking good to.
