This is my second go at TF.  I had started to have success first time round earlier this year. I had lost 10Kgs but then it all fell apart in May as my husband of nearly 15 years decided he did want to be married any more and so I feel into the trap of comfort eating, so not only did I put back on my 10Kgs I also added a few extra and I now weigh 101.9Kg. OMG I have never been over 100kg before in my life, I am horrified.:ermm:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is why I am back!!!  After 6 months of moping, misery and self pity I have finally picked myself off the floor and went back to TF last Saturday (14th Nov) and started again.  This week is important for me to be the restart of my life as Thursday the 19th would have been my 15th Wedding Anniversary so I thought no better time to start again than this week.  Out with the old and in with the new.  Time to make this time of year a happier one than the misery I was dwelling on.:)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have three beautiful kids aged 10, 8 and 4 and I need to be healthy and happy for them as well as myself as I need to set the example for them.  They need to see mum getting on with her life in different ways so that they can too.:Whistling:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So here I go again, back on the programme and back on the forum for support and advice and also inspiration from all you men and women out there who are having success in their weight loss journeys.:D  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So far so good I started back on the shakes on Sunday and this is day 3 of my new life and have not slipped I only hope I can keep it up.:w00t:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;First goal: Get under 100Kgs&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Second Goal: Lose first 5Kgs&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Wish me luck and good luck to everyone else on the programme, I look forward to hearing from you all!!!!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Rachel:P</description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:48:31 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Austigger</dc:creator></item><item><title>Day 1, Week 1</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic521636-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi everyone&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I just joined yesterday and have started thismorning. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After having my son 2 years ago, i have gained almost 20kgs, and nothing i do seems to get it off. I have a holiday booked for February, so i am aiming to loose at least half of the weight i need to loose before then. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My goal weight is back down to 58 which was always my average weight before i had my little man and i am currently 80kgs.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am feeling positive about doing this, and i am looking forward to a healthier me!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I only started thismorning with my first mixed berry shake... can anyone tell me how long it takes to stop the gag reflex?

I have been on the roller coaster of weight issues since a car crash in 2002 then a second major one in 2004 then a major work accident that has seen me have about 12-13 leg operations since Aug 05.  A bad run. BUT i did get onto a diff weight loss program and was able to lose 30kg in 2006 and kept it off until about Oct 2007 and have since put on around 14kg.. so kept over half off but its not enuf... &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I want to be be back to how i was when i was younger but also i want to be COMFORTABLE... not how i am now. I want to wear nice clothes not big baggy ones. ANd i dont want to have my fat days!! Im over them. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I signed up today with the aim tomorrow a start date... but with the move in less then 2wks... and a 8day drive interstate...may play a WALL but i hope i can muster courage to be able to maintain it. I dont necessariy eat BAD, i dont eat often enuf and when i do, i dont get that FULL signal. So hopefully i can re program mind. Iv tried the OPTIFAST VLCD diet but failed as it tasted WRONG... i cldnt stomach much and only one flavour. I bought a 2wk supply of TF with the aim of finding sm that are suitable... 4 of each flavour to give myself a promising start.... Also do they work out a goal weight with u cos i didnt get that in my consult which doesnt really give me anything to aim for and im not sure if my AIM or GOAL is too low, or not low enuf....... &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Im 82kg. I want to be 62-65kg.......at the end of this...... 70-72kg before the end of jan 2010!  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ANY HINTS, TIPS, SUGGESTIONS???  I have a fit and healthy fiance who although says its my choice, has the ability to sabotage me by buying himself stuff i cant eat and then i fall off when on my own. The only option we have is HE BUY NUT PRODUCTS.... highly allergic and i know i cant eat it!!   Will power isnt my strong point and he said that tonight i have to resist the temptation... HOWWWWW???  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Anyway, iv had my spiel and just hope im not windging and can find the strength and support i ned to get through this next fight of my life.... cos i feel its my last chance to be who i want to be!!</description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:54:49 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>deanne2382</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hi from South Africa</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic522829-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi everyone...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am going this afternoon to see a consultant here in SA, where the programme just launched this week.

I am also more than happy to keep track of everyone in whatever we decide to do.

I am 30 years old and live in Sydney. I have started TF with high hopes of staying motivated with my weight loss over christmas. I am getting married on the 23rd of January 2010 and have been doing OK in my weightloss efforts- but with 2 hens nights, 2 friends weddings and christmas all in the next few weeks i decided that i will need some extra focus to continue with my efforts. My mum has been doing the program for about 5 weeks now and is enjoying it.  The wedding has given me the determination I have been searching for a long time to lose the excess weight i gained after i had my daughter 2 years ago.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So far i have been pleasantly surprised- all of the shakes i have tried have actually been quite tasty (i was expecting much worse). I have been having fibre in both my morning and lunch time shakes but have been drinking 3-4 litres of water to make sure it is all flushed out:) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I look forward to taking this life changing journey with you all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description><pubDate>Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:15:48 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Peaceangel79</dc:creator></item><item><title>newbie about to start day one</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic523034-5-1.aspx</link><description>hello My name is Jodie I am a 34 year old mother of 5, I have brought all my shakes and day one starts tomorrow, I have never really struggled with weight gain untill I had my second child since then I have never really been sucessful at loosing weight, this year, without the excuse of pregnancy I have probably put on 8 kg, I do not eat much, lucky to have one meal a day, but for a little while now I have been trying to have three meals a day, i don't think I will struggle through tony ferguson, but saying that I have never had any support from home, so I just want to share my experience and progress as it goes with people who are in the same situation as me....................not exactly sure how much i weigh, but I know I have hit the 70's I will get weighed tomorrow my goal weight is 53-55kg.  goodluck to everyone</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:16:01 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>jlm</dc:creator></item><item><title>Deb n TF go hand in hand</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic517048-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi&lt;P&gt;Im a bit nervous doing this but well here goes.:)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Im 50yr grandmother and live in Moree nsw.I would dearly love to lose 40kilo but will take it on step at a time.:cool:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I gained my weight when I gave up the dreaded ciggies(3years ago):Whistling: and my thyroid shit it self as did a lesion appear on my pituritry gland so I have struggled with it but must confess I felt what the heck be fat n happy oh what a Big MISTAKE.:angry:I then did the success (dr tim) programme and had great results but then again disaster struck i had a fall at work and have lived on morphine since(2 yrs) so I went into the feel sorry for yourself mode.:crazy:Well no more it all has to STOP NOW.:w00t:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have just completed my 1st week and lost 3.1kg so Im happy with that.Oh n 2cm off my waist.:Wow:I am enjoying it and made cookies out of shake yesterday and oh they were so good.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt; I know I will need a lot of support in this but feel I can get  it through the forums.I really look forward to getting to know you all and hope you want to get to know me too.:hehe:&lt;P&gt;Well everyone that does take the time to read this I hope we can be TF buddies and enjoy the laughter and the tears together as Im sure there will be highs n lows.&lt;P&gt;Deb:kiss:</description><pubDate>Mon, 19 Oct 2009 12:54:36 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>nannydee</dc:creator></item><item><title>Here I go again, hopefully third time lucky!!</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic520702-5-1.aspx</link><description>Started today, hoping to get rid of this unwanted mass this time for good!!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Have set a mini goal for Xmas.

Had a shake for brekky and lunch. I liked the taste but didnt find them overly filling! I added 300mls water plus ice to make them seem bigger. The salad I had at lunch wasnt the best so will try better tomorrow. I also had an apple in the arvo and some TF jelly through the day. Also drank loads of water, a cup of green tea and a cup of black tea with a dash of skim milk. Overall I felt quite hungry for most of the day as im used to eating whatever and whenever I feel like it!  For dinner i made chicken curry with tomatoes, onions and curry paste over cauliflower and brocolli and I totally enjoyed it!!  I still have a fruit left for the day so will have something now.&lt;br&gt;Will the hunger drop off after a couple of days??  Hope the energy comes back too as I felt weaker as the day went on!!&lt;br&gt;Anyway I havent set any goals yet, but I am  getting married in April so thats the big goal!!!  I weighed 87 at the weigh in (with shoes etc) and am 173cm.  Would like to lose 5 kilos to start with I think.  Need to get to 76 I think for healthy BMI....</description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:05:30 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Samui</dc:creator></item><item><title>brand new</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic522809-5-1.aspx</link><description>hi all&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;well here I go again another diet but somehow I really feel confident with Tony Ferguson, I have my sons wedding on 30th December and as I live alone would really love your support I know it up to me but would be great to still have some one to chat too.......would love to be at least 6kgs lighter for the wedding, thats 6kgs in 6 weeks, is it possible??</description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:49:56 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>tobrock</dc:creator></item><item><title>new member</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic522745-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi everyone my names olivia , im 26 and have not long started on tony fergusen.

I have watched my weight balloon in the past 2 years.  I tried to blame the medication I was taking but I really think it may be the litre of flavoured milk I am consuming each day (at times even more). I am short so I looking rather square at the moment.  My eating habits have jus gotten worse over the past 2 months following the death of my husband, I am currently living on ham rolls, bacon and egg rolls, milk and wine...... not at all good for me. So lets hope this gets me back on track.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ming:w00t:</description><pubDate>Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:41:43 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Miss ming</dc:creator></item><item><title>Hai Guys</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic522637-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hey Everybody!&lt;P&gt;Im a young mum of 4, just finished off my family and time to get back to my pre pregnancy size!

I am back again and have a few little comments and questions.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I did Tony Ferguson last year and lost approximately 8kgs in 6 weeks - I was very happy.  The biggest advantage for me was how it made me feel.  Unfortunately my weight loss led into Christmas and I put on the 8kgs plus more.  Very dissappointing.  I never quite got back into the zone - I tried it again a few times after that but never stuck with it and never thought that the results I had the first time were as significant the second time.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am one of those girls who are always looking for a fast-track way of losing weight.  I have tried every diet - especially over the last year or two where I have battled most with weight gain.  I am also always sceptical and although I am exactly the kind of consumer the weight loss industry is after - I do believe that its such a money making industry and the industry works because of returning custom.  I wanted to say that because I know that there are so many of you out there who think the same and if you don't think it - others around you have said as much to you I'm sure.  Now for the positive bit.  Having tried all the others - including Bodytrim - I have to say hand on heart that this gave me the best results.  It made me feel good and I lost weight.  I mentioned earlier that my second loss wasn't as significant as the first - it wasn't but looking back on my card - I still lost - every week.  So - now I've wasted money on all the others and I'm back.  With all the willpower I can muster - I have to drop these stubborn kg's that I have picked up.  I want to do 15 in total and when I reach 10 - I will be very happy.  I'm going to do the best I can do before Xmas!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for 'reading' my long message.  I hope it inspires you - hang in there.  This works and honestly all of your weight loss stories keep me inspired so keep writing.  &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can someone please answer this question for me:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When I did TF the last time - I used to have a shake and a salad for lunch.  On the example menu I saw for seven days - many of those days just have a shake or soup or shake or soup equivalent without the salad.  Is that how its supposed to be?  I would prefer to do it exactly right.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Look forward to hearing from all those in the know :) &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you thank you - wish me luck this time around</description><pubDate>Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:22:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>twiggle</dc:creator></item><item><title>First try at posting on the forum</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic522473-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi all, this is my first attempt at posting, I have no idea if this is how I do it so I guess I'll just have a go and see what happens. New to the forum but not to TF. A few years ago I lost 25kgs on the program. Sadly I completely fritzed and forgot all the things I'd learned and stopped exercising so I'm back on board with about 15kgs to lose. I weighed in at 86.6 last Thurs. and I am aiming to be down to 76.6 by Jan.14th 2010. :D So here I go.

I've now gained 13kgs and I feel out of control.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've never used or been on any fad diets or used any pills to lose weight in the past, but in my current frame of mind I feel I need something other than myself to help curb by bad habits.  I've chosen TF as it doesn't seem like a fad and could really help me.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm waiting on TF to be delivered in the next 10-15 days.  If the products arrive by 27th Nov 2009 realistically how many kilos do you think is possible by Christmas 2009. I'm hoping 6kgs.  I still briskly walk most weekdays for an hour to help aid my fitness and weightloss.  I've heard of people on TF that have never exercised and they still managed over a realistic amount of time to lose considerable kilos even down to their goal weights.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any way thanks for listening see you all when I start and on my way. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;[url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w0KhJyT/]&lt;BR&gt;[img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/w0KhJyT/blk-blk-weight.png[/img]&lt;BR&gt;[/url]&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt; </description><pubDate>Sun, 15 Nov 2009 21:47:16 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>TaylaK</dc:creator></item><item><title>new as well</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic519865-5-1.aspx</link><description>Hi everyone.

I am so happy and motivated to keep going.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am 1.73 and my original weight was 80.6. My goal is 68kg. I got very inspired by all those amazing stories and pics. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have never lost weight, all the time I tried and tried but nothing.  This time I'm feeling different full of energy and excited to lose more! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just I am afraid every week to go to the scale I think if I don't lose anything that will make me feel disappointed and quit.  :S &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Any advices???</description><pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:08:25 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>AnaBanana</dc:creator></item><item><title>No more excuses</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic522088-5-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;FONT face="Comic Sans MS"&gt;Hi all&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face="Comic Sans MS"&gt;My name is Katie and I am 20. I know that i am very much overweight and while i've tried various methods of losing weight, i've never achieved real success. I have tried TF before but i am my own worst enemy and i sabortaged myself. I cant keep doing this to myself, i am destroying my life with this attitude and there's a possiblity i wont ever achieve my one massive goal of having children. I need to change my life for the better. It seems like such a simple thing, "Just stop eating all this junk, everyone else can do it, why cant you?" so why can't i make it THAT simple and just do it? I need to stop letting people get in the road of my success, i need to stop those people from making comments about me to my face and stop them from dragging me down, giving me a multitude of excuses to stop myself from doing anything about my weight. I want to lose weight. I want to change my life. I want to be HAPPY. I want to wear nice clothes. I want people to look at me and go "God you look amazing" instead of me constantly thinking "i wonder if their thinking im fat, i'm so fat, god i dont want to be like this". I have an amazing partner who i know loves me no matter what and with his support and encouragement i have to do this, i have to be able to make this work. I dont care how long this takes, this is no diet, this is a LIFESTYLE change. To hell with those people who think i cant do this. Your opinions dont matter to me any more. I am going to be healthy. NOW! Off to order my products!! :D &lt;/FONT&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:03:19 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Katie_May_1989</dc:creator></item><item><title>i'm back!</title><link>http://forum.tonyferguson.com/Topic522141-5-1.aspx</link><description>hi everyone i'm back on tf but part time..for those of you who don't know me i am elicia.
