Trying to continue the conversation these people each finish one another's sentences, it's easy to totally lose track involving most who said who and what even started the thought from the start. Fortunately, it seemed Monday morning, they will hadn't had a chunk sleep, and we were holding moving a little slower than usual - I help keep up.

Dan explained that, "as kids our dad didn't have tons of cash, and jeans were considered the indegent, so he in addition , made us applications dress pants, the fact that was the 70s and everyone was wearing jeans, however we couldn't materials jeans. So for people, I really [url=http://www.christianlouboutinoutletukstore.info/][b]christian louboutin outlet uk[/b][/url] think [url=http://www.christianlouboutinshoesukoutlet.co.uk/][b]louboutin uk[/b][/url] although i good denim ! because we weren't allowed to be as kids.

Bringing out the men's nose first, they discovered that women were wearing it, and so, created She Wood with inspiration - Nova scotia and wood, literally (though young ladies get a little sap included for sweetness, something like that - talking fragrance is speaking another vernacular so Honghn1705 I'll keep this part brief). All it is best to know is put best via the twins themselves ; "It's our Chanel No 5. you'll like it so much forever. "&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We talked more [url=http://www.buychristianlouboutinukoutlet.co.uk/][b]christian louboutin outlet uk[/b][/url] info on their growing DSquared empire, expanding the paper to perfume with each accessories, breaking into new markets, and what it is sometimes that keeps these types of going season and then season - "crutches" as well as "wheelchair" were super early answers. but these gifts added that [url=http://isabelmarantsneakersonlinestore.webs.com/][b]isabel marant sneakers[/b][/url] it's traveling world and their globe-trotting lifestyle that comes with as constant ability to create.

Its been 5 years since I started and the first time I lost about 25 kg in 23 weeks.  Well,  I blew it, yep the weight started to creep back, and then there were the times I'd say I'll do something about it tomorrow, or stuff it, who cares. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But deep down I do care, I hate seeing the flab, the bulges the undies rolling down is the most uncomfortable feeling.  So as a shopperholic who adores clothes, shoes, bags and jewelry  I am not going to buy another item until I've lost the first 10 kg. My reward will be something for the effort.  *hand up * I promise.   &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The glass of wine at night will be the hardest. But it will be worth it.  Just have to give it up.  Drink water and a glass of wine maybe once a week&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyway for all those out there in the same boat as me, we know it works, we can do it......

It's been a while. Since the last time I was on these forums I've completed my journalism degree, my literary studies post grad and my secondary e duration dip ed...and while originally uni was making me fat I ended up losing a lot of weight on TF (first time, which I put back on and more). I went up to 108.1kgs at my heaviest, I was at that weight for a day before taking control and getting to 92-95kg where I hovered for about 1-2 years. At the end of 2011 I did Dukan (high protein, low carb) and had great success, losing 17kgs in 6-7 weeks to get to 77.7kg...I then sat comfortably around 82kgs for a year before hitting dreaded Christmas/Easter/new teaching job and as a result at my TF weigh in yesterday I was 89.2kg.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am very glad I didn't hit 90 again, but sad about the extra it's. Anyway I am back, pleased to see TF has made changes and ready to lose that last 20kgs by summer :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks in advance for reading my long rumblings lol&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Excited and motivated on day 1...mocha shake down for breaks :)</description><pubDate>Sat, 13 Apr 2013 11:00:27 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>aussiechic4444</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi all</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic625165-5-1.aspx</link><description>Just wanted to pop in and say hi to you all.

I'm Felicity, just turned 21, I'm engaged to my wonderful fiancé Jonno, with a beautiful little girl, Amelia who is 2 in May! &lt;br&gt;I'm doing TF as a result of many dieting attempts, two years of self conscious looks in the mirror, 6 weekly consults at the diabetes educator with her shaking her head not knowing where to go next, and finally, after every possible test performed, a referral 4 hours away to an endocrinologist, who told me that it is because of my 'Genes' that the pregnancy weight hasn't come off, and nothing to do with my pcos or insulin resistance &lt;br&gt;It's been a very emotional journey up until here with my original goal being to lose the whole 27 kilo by April 2013 to try for another baby... My new goal is to have lost 20 kilo by Christmas 2013! I'm not sure if this is too in realistic or not but I'm going to give it all I've got! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would love to hear from other ladies who have pcos and insulin resistance and to hear about their success and if they have done anything different to help results along!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I look forward to my new journey and trying to stay positive and not stress! For the moment there isn't a baby date set again so there's one stress already gone!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;3</description><pubDate>Thu, 11 Apr 2013 21:29:20 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Flickky44</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi Everyone :)</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic624517-5-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;FONT color=#5555dd&gt;Hi :) &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#5555dd&gt;Im only new to tony Ferguson and after YEARS of failed diet attempts im determined this year im going to achieve my goals! so far i've completed a week of healthy eating and to be honest, proud (and honestly kind of surprised!) that i have gone a week without temptation- no chocolate, only one can of diet soft drink (on sunday as i was struggling with cravings) no lollies or any junk! this time im adamant im going to do this!!

I am not a seasoned dieter (which is proably why i weighed in at 20stones  2 pounds) but whenever i have tried then the weight would come off verrrry slowly, id become disheartened and give up, so i learnt it was just easier not to diet! &lt;br&gt;I chose Tony Ferguson for no particular reason and the weight started falling off, i have had no  problems following it and have managed so far without feeling hungry or having any cravings, i just think my head is in the right place at the moment, but now we have easter holidays!&lt;br&gt;I love reading though the forum and hearing other peoples stories, seeing the before and after pics and reading the recipes,  just have to try and work out how to attach things to my  posts now lol :w00t:&lt;br&gt;Xxxx</description><pubDate>Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:17:32 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Val_mai</dc:creator></item><item><title>It's just the beginning</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic625086-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi there,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just thought I'd introduce myself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My name is Chloe, I am 21 years old and have just begun Tony Ferguson.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've tried hundreds of times before to lose weight and have found no continuing motivation, but I'm hoping TF changes this for me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My 2nd weigh in is today and I'm looking forward to seeing how well I've done. Although I have cheated a little bit this week had an extra snack here, or a extra loved snack there, but I have generally kept to it and and feeling really good.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My family is also amazed that I've stuck to it for a week and am coming back for round two- I figure if I'm gonna do this, then I have to do it right. That's why I'm sticking to actually going into the chemist for weigh-ins (then I can't cheat!)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, I'm sure none of you really want to keep reading about me, so I'll turn it over to you - I'd be interested in hearing your stories and motivation tips!</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 Mar 2013 09:46:10 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>CloSmo</dc:creator></item><item><title>Second time around</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic625173-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi all&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have been on the Tony Ferguson program before and lost over 20kgs and went down 4 dress sizes. I felt great!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since then, I lost my job and had to abandon the program; it was all 2 minute noodles from then. I have since found another job and have had to relocate to a different province, a new home, a new life. In the process, I have gained about 10kgs. Now that things have settled down and are much more stable, I have started again today.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I work as a manager of a Bush Lodge, which is about 1.5hrs drive from civilisation, the nearest Dischem, and the nearest support of a Tony Ferguson practitioner. I work 22 days consecutively, and then get 8 days off. This is where it gets tricky! It was a similar situation at my previous workplace, and I know I find it so hard only going for weigh-ins when I'm off and only getting the little boost everyone needs from the practitioner once a month! In a nutshell, this is why I have joined the forum. To get support and inspiration from people in the same boat as me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Looking forward to it :)</description><pubDate>Tue, 02 Apr 2013 22:45:41 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>BushBaby</dc:creator></item><item><title>A Brand New Start .....</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic625166-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi All,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In 2007 I reached my weightloss goal but through a series of events (one more tragic than the others) I find myself with weight to lose once again - 43.6kgs actually.

Not because I have trouble sticking to the fabulous TF program, but still grieving a great loss after 20 months has left me pretty fragile and somewhat defeated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I look forward to getting to know you all on the forum, and will be here to praise you all as you speed towards your weight loss targets.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Happy TF'ing'&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Helen.</description><pubDate>Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:53:01 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Tinkles</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi everybody</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic625064-5-1.aspx</link><description>I am starting a challenge to lose 35 kgs :) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w0NHIoM/weight.png&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w0NHIoM/]&lt;br&gt;[img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w0NHIoM/weight.png[/img]&lt;br&gt;[/url]&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 Mar 2013 19:32:24 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ifathy</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hello</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic624557-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi Guys and Gals,&lt;br&gt;I am jonylovet from NY and I am new on the board, this is my first post, hope this forum turns to be a learning experience for me.&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Wed, 27 Feb 2013 17:04:37 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>bullden</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi Everyone</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic625055-5-1.aspx</link><description>As the decription line goes, I have joined Tony Furgason to loose weight and I need some moral support for completingthis task in my like.&lt;br&gt;I will be very thankful for suggestion, ideas, tips you people can suggest me while I am a newbie for this task.&lt;br&gt;Hope to keep in touch...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sarah Samuel</description><pubDate>Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:14:23 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>sarahsamuel7</dc:creator></item><item><title>To all the new members</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic560363-5-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;FONT face=Arial size=3&gt;Hi All!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=3&gt;I remember when I started how nervous I was about getting everything right and not knowing what to do or who to talk to.

For example you may want to pledge 6kg in 8 weeks or however long the challenge runs. You don't have to do anything special... it's a great way to meet people and make friends along the way. Don't be shy and jump straight in! :P&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=3&gt;If you aren't sure of what to cook - have a look at the&lt;STRONG&gt; recipe&lt;/STRONG&gt; thread.

Share the good stuff!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=3&gt;If you are felling a little down and out... have a look at the&lt;STRONG&gt; Inspiration&lt;/STRONG&gt; Thread or the &lt;STRONG&gt;Before, During &amp;amp; After Pics&lt;/STRONG&gt; Thread... these threads are amazing and it really shows that TF works if you stick to it. Lots of people have gotten to goal and maintained it... if they can do it - so can the rest of us :D&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P align=left&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=3&gt;Hope this helps someone... don't be shy and jump in. We are all here to loose weight and feel great, remember... TF is a lifestyle change and learning how to change is the hardest part. Keep on keeping on!

I have never done this program before but I am not new to weight loss. 8 years ago I lost nearly 60kgs and got to my goal weight. I stayed there for just over 3 years but over the last couple of years I have slowly gained most of it again. It is so disappointing and upsetting. One thing I do love is exercising! I have kept up with the exercise through the injuries and the stressful times! &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So its a fresh start for me! I am going to stop beating myself up! I have a really good saying. It is ACTION!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A - Accept where you are!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;C - Change what you are doing!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;T - Time for myself&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I - Incentives along the way!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;O - Own it&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;N - Never give up!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I look forward to getting to know you all and hopefully we can help each other! &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sarah :)  :)  :)  :)  :)  :)</description><pubDate>Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:12:01 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Luv2Train</dc:creator></item><item><title>PerthChick90 is getting Sexy For Summer :)</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic604805-5-1.aspx</link><description>[center] Hey everyone just thought I would introduce myself, i'm Mel a stay @ home mum from Australia :)&lt;BR&gt;I have a 3 year old son &amp;amp; my goal is to get back to my pre pregnancy weight, around 60kgs..

I'm really excited and feel incredibly motivated to lose the weight and regain more sparkle in my life. Lost over 24kgs on this program a very long time ago and foolishly did not follow through with maintenance. This time, I'll be following the program properly through maintenance for life. Posting on these forums and belonging up your entries with tickers is a great idea and very motivating. Good luck to everyone on this wonderful journey. :D</description><pubDate>Tue, 19 Mar 2013 08:55:28 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>kerry_t</dc:creator></item><item><title>Starting fresh.. Day 3!</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic624892-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi guys,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My name is Natalie, I am a teacher and have been struggling to maintain my weight for YEARS.. &lt;br&gt;I was very, very slim in my late teens and early 20's, considered underweight...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, when I turned 24 I was told my healthy gall bladder had to come out as there was a problem with my bile duct. As a result, I gained about 5/10 kgs, which in hindsight was nothing to complain about and probably made me look healthier!! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A few years later, I had developed PCOS - which doctors believe could have something to do with a lack of 'cycle' when I was super skinny and less likely to do with the 5/10 kgs weight gain after my op.. I was still incredibly fit and healthy at this stage and my weight stabilised once I got to a healthier/heavier range. Within 12 months after this diagnosis, I had gained even more weight - which I put down to depression from finding out about the health implications of such a condition. I stopped exercising, I basically stopped caring about ME!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyway, to add to the difficult mix, I'm a vegetarian of 17 years; bread, pasta and rice are my vices... So the saying goes "Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels"... Right?!? ;)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I've tried TF over the past several years on and off, without much success.. The old shakes used to make me really sick. But, the introduction of Soy Shakes has been a blessing. So, I am back.. Ready to lose 30 kgs!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyone else have a similar story? Even ONE of the above issues to contend with?!?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I appreciate your input, honesty and anything else you have to offer.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cheers,&lt;br&gt;Nat&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 14 Mar 2013 12:46:09 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Natta</dc:creator></item><item><title>My Tony Ferguson Experience (week 3)</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic624908-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hello! I'm Lurie :) and like many other women I have tried loads of diets and nothing seems to work. Its not the actual program that doesn't work, I always lose weight initially.  The problem is to stay on the program and to continue eating healthy, after the novelty of a new diet wears off. I have tried doing a healthy eating plan and exercise by myself. But I ended up feeling so depressed. There I was huffy and puffing for two months and no weight loss. I counted calories, boiled instead of fry and avoided sweets and sugar (although its a addiction one sneaked sweet or biscuit doesn't, right?). I will even lie to myself to scratch the sugar itch. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; I realized that doing this by myself is not going to work, my portions sizes are not right. I had no meal plans and had really no urge to go back to any of the old eating plans stashed away in my drawer. So I researched  Tony Ferguson on the net and found to my surprise that is isn't really as costly as what I expected, and they offer great assistance. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The 1st week was tough and I cheated twice (well from what I can remember). I only lost 300 grams, what a disappointment, I have a total of 30 Kg's to loose and it seems like a huge mountain to climb.  What impressed me the most, is the staff, they are friendly and experienced. A gentle reminder not to give up and to DRINK 2L WATER everyday. I took this advise to heart. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Week 2, I lost 500 grams. Not huge but marginally better than 300 grams. I increased my water and tried to stick to the program more firmly. My biggest issue is to cut out the little snacks in between my meals, one biscuit here and a bit of chocolate there. I must admit at two days to go to the end of week 3, I still have not got the hang of a snack free day. I hope this has not affected my weight loss too much. I really think this is a great program and that I have made the right decision I just need to get up this hill and stick to climbing and not sliding!</description><pubDate>Fri, 15 Mar 2013 18:00:54 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Lurie</dc:creator></item><item><title>Eagerly awaiting my first TF delivery!</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic624655-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi all, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My partner and I have committed ourselves to the TF program and are just waiting for our first package to arrive.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm aiming to lose 40kg and look forward to sharing our journey with you!</description><pubDate>Mon, 04 Mar 2013 09:38:40 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Pulse</dc:creator></item><item><title>I think I can ....
