well done - I agree that you may not feel as though you need to share that you are on TF with your new work colleagues but there is scope to be assertive in letting them know your dining preferences. You never know you may be helping someone else in the group who would like to make healthier choices but feel pulled by the status quo of the crowd or are stuck in a rut.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't expecing a response so soon. Let alone such supportive and helpful comments.

So yes, during the work dinner on Wednesday I'll find out where we are going and call ahead getting details of the menu, or I will try and get out of it. I only started my job, so don't feel comfortable telling anyone there that I'm on Tony Fergusson, but as one person commented it's time to take responsibility - so I will try my hardest to be prepared and combat this on my own for now. On Friday, I'll be away from the office, so will make sure that I have a bar, fruit and plenty of water in my bag.

I've contacted my gym trainer again. He is down witht he flu so can't make tomorrow, but I'll go anyway and do a 30 minute cardio.

So I'm back into this starting tomorrow, as I've run out of TF food and my friend is dropping it off tomorrow. However, I will get the supermarket today and this week make some additional food which I can freeze. Less excuse to eat out then as well.

Thanks everyone!!!!!!!

So I'm at 129.9 now....let's aim for 128.9 for next week :)

Hi welcome to the forum

Do you have a role in the planning of work related meals? I think these meals will always be a problem if you don't take the opportunity to assert yourself and let your companions know that there are some things that you simply can't eat anymore as you are looking after your health. It may mean phoning ahead to a restaurant to check if they can help you out with a TF friendly option (including a stack of veggies), avoiding greasies and fast food and venues where they do not serve quality low GI food as an option.

good luck - let us know how you go.

Hi, looking for some support here. I'm 60 kilos overweight, and need to do something. I've left this far too long and it will affect my health soon. I started two weeks ago, but keep coming off track again due to work lunches and dinner. Can anyone help?
