Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program / Tony Ferguson / Introductions

Yet another first time fat fighter!

NikNak — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:07:08 GMT

I say first time fat fighter, but that's not exactly true - I've been fighting with my weight for as long as I can remember, just unsuccessfully. Until now! This is my 3rd day on TF and so far so good...I'm determined to kick the kilos this time. It's not easy though, I've already noticed my energy levels decrease to almost nothing so exercising is really tough at the mo. I'd appreciate any tips! I think these forums are great, being able to support each other is such a big help. Anyway, just wanted to say hello to everyone and keep up the good work! :)

Hi Everyone

Its my first time on TF and my first time on a chat line!!!

I have 2 kids a 1 year old and a 3 year old. So I am a very busy mum who has let herself go.

I am only 157cm tall and weigh 88 kilos. I have had enough of being big....I want to get healthy and be a good role model for my kids. I also want to wear nice clothes :)

I have been on TF for 2 days and I am suffering from horrible headaches...hope it stops. Besides the headaches all is going quite well.

Anyway I look forward to my journey :)

Another NeWbY!!!!! and this time....I am READY

Jored — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:17:00 GMT

Hi all,

I am Joanne a mum to 3 kids aged 6 months, 4 and 5. I have always struggled weight wise and have tried TF once before but didn't really get my head into it IYKWIM!!!! Lost a few Kg but pretty much just put it all back on.

Anyway..why am i suddenly "ready"? well... with my last pregnancy i had Gestational Diabetes, and was told i need to "lose it" or i risk Type 2...grrrrrr Annny way, that was 6 months ago and i pretty much just forgot about it so to speak..or found yet another excuse. So a couple of days ago i found my Diabetic kit from when i was preggers and did a prick test and was mortified that my sugars were high:crazy:....not to a diabetic level, but above normal... so that is a big warning that i need to sort my weight out and get healthy.

Looking forward to sharing the journey!!

New to these forums, starting tomorrow and need support desperately!

henrysmum — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:41:18 GMT

I don't know why but everytime i think to myself 'i really need to lose weight', i just can't seem to stop eating! Anyway, tomorrow i am going into Toowoomba and will be able to buy some shakes etc and i'm hoping this time i can really get some kgs off. Even just a few before Christmas would be great. I hate feeling like this. I have a toddler getting around so finding time for myself is so hard. Plus i live on a farm so gyms etc are too far away. I had started walking again but now we have been rained out this last few days! Feel like the universe is against me...lol. I'd really love to find some support 'buddies' on here so we can help keep each other motivated. So if your intersted, send me a message!

I started on TF in Jan and lost 25kgs. Brilliant!!!!

Fell off the wagon and have only just stopped battering myself after the fall. Have managed to put it all back on (nearly). :crying:

Oh well - have stopped kicking myself long enough to type this post. Dusted myself off and here I go again!!! (With new and improved determination)....

My first mini goal is to lose 8kg by Christmas.

If anyone needs any advice on what not to do.......I'm a perfect example. Stopping kiicking myself again :w00t:.

New girl on the block

Yoyo girl — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:23:29 GMT

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself :) I was previously on TF but unfortunately gave up after 6 months. I only ended up loosing 6kg which was very disappointing :( but i'm back again and hope i can really stick to the program more closely. i believe talking to like minded people will really encourage me to loose my weight, i'm hoping to loose 10 to 15 kg.

brand new to tony ferguson

pixierex — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:30:57 GMT

hi everyone,

started my first day on tony ferguson today. i have been on weight watchers for the last year for the third time and i'm only about 500gms lighter. i have finally decided to do something about my weight as it has been frustrating me for 3 years now. any tips or hints would be great.

Mrs Macca is a newbie

Mrs Macca — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:50:33 GMT

Hi all :D

Since having children 13 years ago I have always struggled with my weight, My heaviest is now..I have tried WW, herbal Life and Simply too good to be true (which I do like). But nothing has worked for me like TF. My start weight was 86.1 and now I am 74.9 and also a loss of 18cm from my waist. Pretty good for 6 weeks. When I get to my mini goal of 70kg I shall post more pics. The 2 that you can see was last xmas. My boobs are a 16DD, pants 14-16 and I am 163cm short :P cannot wait to see the new me and keep her with me.

Thank you to all who post in the forums, I have lurked around for a bit reading and it gets you motivated. Heaps of you have done so well :w00t::w00t: You should all congratulate yourselves..

Reclaiming ME

Jo71 — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:04:15 GMT

Well here I am... aged 37, single mum of three gorgeous kids, studying full time and currently working part time. I've tried every diet known to man. I've lost, I've put back on and lost again.

And yet everytime I've bagged what I previously called the 'shake diets'.

Having had the pleasure of hearing about the success of several friends I have decided to become a Tony Girl myself.

Well one week in.... 3 kilos down, 4cm gone and it was as easy as losing a child at the Ekka!

I'm in love wtih the Mocha shakes and the high protein mini bars. OMG how nice are those.. it almost feels sinful to indulge in them.

When I started I wanted to lose 40 kilos.... or at the least get to size 10.

So here I am....... watch me go.....

A new life round the corner...

Emo_Ninja_Kitten — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:39:27 GMT

Hi everyone,

I am a 35yr old wife and mother to 3 active teens and an athletic husband. I have found I feel like the odd one out in my own family. I am currently a university student working hard towards my nursing degree, which I will finally have in February 2009 after 2 yrs straight of studying. I have been seriously overweight for about 15 yrs now, and in the last 2 yrs (since being at uni) the closest I have come to any kind of exercise is walking between classes, apart from that I have sat for hours on end looking at a computer screen.

We, as a family, have decided to start a fresh in March next year after graduation, and move 1700 kms away to Townsville. we are all looking forward to this start, but I have begun to panic regarding the heat and my work as an overweight person. My home town has begun to heat up with the oncoming summer, and I am finding it hard to get outside the house, due to all my rolls and lipids (fat) becoming drenched in sweat, and feeling sticky and seriously uncomfortable. The heat in Townsville is much worse then here. I have not worn swimmers in years, and moving to a hotter climate where most people have several pairs (and they actually wear them) is beginning to worry me.

I have become a shadow of who I once was, I become sweaty just from walking from the car park to the shopping centre, washing up the dishes and just sitting watching tv.. My self esteem has become non existant, which sees me feeding my face to feel better (this however never seems to work).

I had a big wake up on the weekend at my mothers 63rd b'day, we had family photos taken (camera's are another thing I haven't had much to do with for years either), and when reviewing these photos, I was shocked at how big I actually was. And I couldnt use the excuse that pictures put an extra couple of kgs on cause my sister still looked great in her size 12..

therefore, a new life needs a new attitude. Starting today, Monday, is the beginning of my own personal tranistion. I plan to read one success story a day to keep me on track, and get on this forum to help other new starters every day. this will be a long journey but reading other TFers stories, I see I am not alone, and there is soooo much support here..

So, from here I say goodbye to the dumpy lady who looks back at me in the bathroom mirror (when I actually choose to look), and hello to my new life and my new family...

A head start on a new years resolution !

beaz81 — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:07:10 GMT

My journey starts tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day that the journey of my new life begins. I am the heaviest that i have ever been, and i have at least 40 kilos to loose. Its so daunting, but i cant let that stop me. For the past 6 years i have let my weight control everything i am, and my body isnt allowing me to be who i feel like on the inside.

I am going to weigh myself twice a week, and post it on this forum.

I have to suceed this time, because my health is at stake, so failure is not an option. I really need support, so hopefully i can find it on here.

Wish me luck !

Hi I'm new here

rosebud01 — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 21:34:03 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I have been lurking here for the last few weeks checking things out. Last Monday I bit the bullet and walked into my local TF and walked out with a weeks worth of shakes/soups. I started on Tuesday morning and have decided to weigh in on monday afternoons. Well I weighed in this afternoon and woohoo I lost 2.9 kgs and 2 cm off my waist. I am very pleased with that. But more than anything I am pleased cause my feet are no longer swollen and I can walk on them properly at the end of the day. My sore lower back is also much better too. At 37 I really needed to do something about my weight. Both my parents are diabetics so the writing is one the cards for me. I have lost weight before on ww but each time when I hit my goal weight I got pregnant and put it all back on again. After the last pregnancy I never lost it although I have gone up and down over the last 7 years. But now it is time to take it off and keep it off. I am hoping that TF will help me do that.

Over my first week I have found that I am not hungry at all except when it is coming up to a meal time. I havn't cheated at all this week cause I am not going to waste the money I am spending on TF by wrecking it this early on.

I had severe caffeine withdrawals on day two and three due to my not having my daily dose of coke zero. I had the shakes and sweats and a massive headache. I couldn't think straight. After this though it has got much better. I find I am fine except for about 2.30/3.00pm and then I notice that I am craving the caffeine hit but i have been eating my fruit then instead and drinking heaps of water . I havn't had any trouble drinking the required two litres of water. Before I would have reached for a coke not a water bottle. I am having a cup of tea in morning and one at night after tea. The third one I am either not having or having it in the afternoon if needed.

Only other problem time is at night in front of the telly. I am used to snacking on something sweet then so I have been having a cup of tea and a jelly instead.

I have to print out some of the recipes this week to ensure that I can get some variety into my meals or I could get easily bored having the same things every day. I miss potatoes and sweet potatoes and corn the most this week but i am sure i will get over it. hehe

Well i will be around here from now on so I am looking forward to getting to know you all.

Regards

Rosebud01

STARTING AGAIN

chrissyinthegong — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:20:11 GMT

Hi Ya

Well here i am back again after about a 10 month break,,,.

I have dabbled on and off the program in that time but heart was not in it.

I have managed to only gain 2 kilos from my last weigh in at tony Ferguson.

I was 88kgs last weigh in im just over 90 now.

In the time i was on Tony fergs i had lost roughly 30 kilos .

I think i just got complacent on the program and it kinda thru my routine out when the clinic in the mall in wollongong moved out to Warrawong my routine got blew out the window and then i kinda just stopped going,

So hopefully this time i will make my goal weight which is 75 kilos so least this time i have only 15 kilos to go not 45 .

I have to figure out again how to add the trackers and stuff but will have that all up and running by the time i weigh in next saturday, So first day back tomorrow. Wish me luck .

Happy loosing!!!

Chrissy G

Lobbyloo — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:22:18 GMT

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to say that i have been on TF now for a week, i had my first weigh in yesterday and i have lost 2.3kg, i was stoked at the results. The first week was very hard, but i stuck by it and i will continue to stick by it until i have reached by goal weight!

I started out at 77.4kg and i plan on losing at least 10-15kg.

Starting today!!!

goodbyesaddlebags — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 11:14:54 GMT

Hi everyone,

After starting on Tony Ferguson almost three years ago, I'm back because my saddlebags are displaying themselves once again! I am almost back up to the same weight as I was before I commenced with TF and am not at all happy with myself. Today I am starting over! I've got about 10 kilos that I'd like to lose and I have a mini goal to lose 3.5 of those kilos within the next three weeks. I'm hoping that I can rely on you for support to get 're-started' on the program. I understand that the program has changed a lot of the past three years and am looking forward to hearing all of your inspirational stories of how you have overcome some hurdles that might come my way in the next few weeks.:)

BACK AGAIN -

With our pantry stocked, fridge and freezers ready to go , lets share our journey.

So how long were you on TF before?

Did you get to goal?

Did you give it away?

What is your goal?

Ok lets see all the RETURN tf customers say hello here :);)

Trying Again on the Program

Shellpark — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:59:26 GMT

I have decided to try the program again. I only lost 3 kg in 9 months (lots of excuses I could think of). BUT last week I decided I was sick of using all the excuses for not losing weight and I would give myself another go on the program. Well success I lost 1.5 in my first week.

domesticated — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 23:27:22 GMT

Hi Guys,

My name's D and I'm new to Tony Ferguson.

For the LONGEST time I have been very anti-shake diets but after recently piling on a tad too much weight I've decided that 500,000 Aussies can't be wrong.

I went to a TF store last week and found the staff very helpful, informative and above-all - supportive.

I started yesterday and to my surprise I'm neither as hungry or miserable as I thought I would be. I've also quit caffeine cold turkey (diet coke was my weakness!) and am pleasantly surprised that I also haven't experience any withdrawal - someone told me that the Chromium helps with this.

I've been madly reading as much as I can about this whole TF lifestyle change and I'm sure I'll be lurking around the forum looking for information and advise over the next few months.

Another newbie

Justinecandoit — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 10:31:10 GMT

Hey Everyone

I just thought I would say hi and tell you I have now been on TF for 4 days. I am worried, it seems almost too easy. I have not had too many real cravings and have not felt hungry, the opposite actually. Is the normal for everyone who is new?

I am finding after my lunch meal replacement and salad that I am not really feeling like my fruit in the afternoon. Does anyone know if it is missed is this a problem or should I make sure that I eat the fruit somewhere during the day?

Good luck to all of you who are new or rejoining, I am determined to lose the weight and prove my husband wrong, he just said last night that he will wait and see, as I have tryed other programs and failed to continue, this time is going to be different.

Hi I'm new

melskie — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:33:04 GMT

[Hi there all,

I have just started my first day on the TF program, I had a chocolate shake for brekky and it was yummy!
I decided to start TF as I have just had my second child and I have put on alot of weight from the pregnancy. It happened after my first pregnancy also and I lost 15kgs on WW, not quite back to my regular weight but almost. This time I'm aiming to loose about 25kgs, I hope I can do it!!!
I decided to try TF because I have alot of friends and family that have tried it and said it was great, also the shakes appealed to me cos I don't have to worry about points etc and as I have two young kids it's means I don't really have time to sit down and think too much about food so with the shakes I just can mix em up and I'm done.
I'm looking forward to meeting some new ppl also going through the weight loss process, and hopefully we can help each other along!:D
I was also wondering if the 2 pieces of fruit throughout the day were essential, and if you can have a salad with the protein meal instead of veggies???

Hi Eveybody,

Womble14 — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 06:34:44 GMT

Hi Gals & Guys,

How is everybody. i Started TF on monday so i can lose all of this excess tyres that i'm carrying around. The shakes i've tasted so far taste fantastic. looking foward to a new healthier lifestyle. Please fell free to say hi.

Cheers

Womble.

heyy...i'm back =]

SteFF_1992 — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:03:00 GMT

hey there. no-one will remember me but my name is SteFF i am 16 and was doing TF a while ago but stopped working and had no money. Now i am back. Hopefully for good!!
Got my shakes today. weighed in and i am appalled at my weight. Also surprised at the difference because i weigh myself on wii fit and i weigh around 93. today it was a spur of the moment decision to go and i had already had a bottle of water and a large 7/11 slurpy-if you are in melbourne today i am sure you understand lol. So starting shakes in the morning. tonight it's a healthy dinner to kick start. Also i have been walking lately and wear a pedometer so i try to get 10000 steps a day. all combined i know i can do it. I have given up having christmas presents so my parents can afford to pay for this so i am giving it my all!!

So start weight 95.7!! goal weight 69.
start waist is 95cm. goal waist 79cm.
oh and i am 171.5cm's tall.

so new day new start and need a new signature lol so i will update it will all the weight i have put on.

how has everyone been going anyway?
any of the regulars around?
anyone around my age?

love SteFF
