50+ kilos to lose weigh in club

ilovesalad — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 20:58:34 GMT

Hi everyone. I hope some of the people out there who are aiming to lose a fair bit of weight like me, could maybe post their weekly results in here for easy tracking and encouragement. Doesn't have to be strictly over 50kilos!

Last week was my second weigh in and i lost 1.9kilos. I am nervously waiting for my 3rd weigh in day which is tuesday.

Good luck to you all. ! :hehe:

We can do this together!:D

Reading other peoples results has kept me going, so thank you all very much for helping me save my life!

Can't wait to make a "50+kilos before and after pics" Thread. Yep.. we are all going to be in there! I'm not leaving any of you behind, so grab on and enjoy the ride!

November Challenge

eflow*take3 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:21:14 GMT

Anyone interested in a November Challenge?

Yay

BigSteve — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:17:38 GMT

I reached below my goal weight early, I set my goal of 115kg by december 10th and Today I was 114.0 (weighed in a day early because of my ketosis cycle)
So I'm resetting my goal to 110 by Dec 10th, I think I may manage to get another 10kg off max, but I'll be on holiday after that and having a bit of a break

New Years Eve Challenge

Download — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:45:12 GMT

**New entries for this challenge are now closed**

Don't forget though, there are many challenges available to you so you're not missing out :D

UPDATE: From now on, if you haven't PM'd me your weigh ins for a month or more, I will PM you to ask if you still wish to be in the challenge. If I get no response after a week, you'll be removed from the database. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it lol) there have been so many sign ups that I'm having trouble keeping up with everyone, and it's extremely time consuming to PM everyone asking for updates if I haven't heard anything for a while.
So please, if you're going on holidays and won't be updating for a while make sure that you PM me to let me know so that I don't remove you!

Cheers :D

[/url]

I've decided that because I don't fit into any of the challenges, that I'd make my own!
Basically if you want to loose 20-30kg by New Years Eve, this is the place for you. I figured that anyone that wants to loose under 20kg can probably do that before NYE, and to loose over 30kg in that period would be unhealthy, so we have a 10kg range.
I find it really hard to stick to anything unless there's a challenge in it for me. If I'm going to weigh in against a few other people it gives me something to remember before I reach for that candy bar. If I have some people to compete against it will make things a lot easier for me.
So come on peoples! Give me something to fight for :D *chuckle*

3 week long hangover!!!!!!!!!!

Tysmoo — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:37:28 GMT

Yup you read correctly what started as an innocent night out at a wedding turned into 3 weeks of eating like a sloth and carb overload!!!

I paid the ultimate price of gaining back 2.7kg and feeling crap not only physically but emotionally too. It has taken every inch of my willpower and determination but Im pleased to say last Tuesday I made a decision that it would be my last day of eating anything and everything and Ive stuck to it with pleasing results.

I lost a staggering 3.9kg this week and Im now at the lowest weight I have been in my adult life. Im hoping beyond hope I can keep up the good work and lose 1.2kg so I can break into the 70s at my next weigh in.

Im more determined then I was in the beginning and I want this last 21.1kg to come off and stay off.

I received a comment yesterday which reminded me of my old self "well done, u got back on the wagon, gaining 2.7kg would have been enough for me to give up and then gain another 10kg. Send me some of your motivation in 3 months time" (she is pregnant) and you know what I can now see how much I truely have changed.

Im back in the saddle and Im stronger than ever!!!

Who's up for it??:D

Last date for first loss details is 3/11/09.

Spreadsheet of progress will appear in this post from 4/11/09.

Ok, too early for a xmas challenge?

1KG IN 1 WEEK CHALLENGE!

Jenny_fer — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:52:44 GMT

Hi Everyone

I thought I would start a 1kg in 1 week challenge.

Sometimes when I think of the amount of weight I need to lose (30kgs) I find myself wondering if I will ever get there?

So, what I do now is just try to lose 1kg per week. I have been doing this for the past few weeks and it seems to be working. I realise that some weeks it's probably not going to happen, but hey, that's just the way things go.

1 week can pass so quickly these days, so lets get back to the program basics and focus on what we're all here for:)

I am more than happy to do up a spreadsheet, post it on here and keep everyones weekly losses updated!

If anyone wants to join me, just let me know!!

Happy Losing

Jen x

ARE YOU STARTING TONY FERGUSON in Sept 2009 WITH 15+kgs to lose?

lici19 — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:17:50 GMT

Hi All,

I have just started on the Tony Ferguson Program on Friday, 11th September 2009. I have a 1 year old daughter and put on 25kgs during my pregnancy and am now ready and motivated to get it off. My vital stats are below:

Sex: Female

Age: 35

Height: 160cm

Start Weight: 89.9kg

Goal weight: 65kg

Please join me. Tell me your story and successes as we all go through this journey together.

The Challenge Challenge

*Lilac* — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:15:50 GMT

Hi folks,

I thought I'd start a challenge just because. There's no end date, jump on and off whenever you feel like it. Use this challenge if you are waiting for another challenge to start of just missed the start of a challenge and have to wait for the next round to come again.

The idea is simple. Decide how long you want to be on this challenge and how much you want to lose in that time, put it in your first post and keep coming back to update and help support others doing the challenge. Sometimes having a goal and sharing it with others helps to boost our motivation, so why not join in?

My first pledge is to be here 12 weeks and to lose 10 kilos in that time.

Lilac

Woo hoo!!

carlsypops — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:32:30 GMT

Hiya :)

Just wanted to share I have finally cracked the 10kgs this week and in actual fact, have gone over it by half a kilo!!
I lost 1.4kgs this week taking me to the grand total of 10.5kgs. I am extremely proud and happy :D
Tony Ferguson is the best diet I've ever done and been so successful with!!

My first week TF weigh in

CindyRell — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:07:49 GMT

I had my weigh in for my first week today!

Starting weight: 82 kilograms
First week: 78.3

Wow!... Now I did have my period when I first weighed in and i'm always heavier then, so i'm going to say without my period i'm probably just over 80kgs because I know I have crazy fluid retention.. but even minusing the period weight I lost almost two kilos in my fist week. And my waist was 88 before, and now its 84 :). (80 and under is healthy, so only 4cm's to go :cool:)

Anyway, I wouldn't have minded if I only lost 500 grams, its just fantastic to see the scale go DOWN for once when I weigh myself. Thats just awesome! And I bought some TF wraps.. hello tf friendly pizza for dinner :)

Pretty sure I wouldn't have made it through my first week if it wasn't for all the inspiration on this forum <3

week 15 weigh in

jenniwren (formerly Freyles) — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:40:25 GMT

Didn't really wanna post this dismal result, but I guess you have to take the good and the bad. There was no change this week, stayed exactly the same. I'm not surprised, went a little off track and have a period from hell. At least there wasn't a gain. Gotta get back on track this week and I wanna see a loss next Friday. Would be lovely to crack 100!

CHALLENGE - 6KG IN 6 WEEKS FOR THE WORK XMAS PARTY

lici19 — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 10:04:53 GMT

Hi All,

Party season is coming up and our work has a function on the 5th December in Melbourne. I am from Brisbane and haven't seen most of these people since I was at my biggest on 10 September. Since then I have lost 10kg and I want to lost another 6kg before the party as I'm sure a lot of people will notice a big difference.

Anyway, If you have a party or function coming up in December and want to join my challenge, come on and post your goal and see if we can achieve it together.

Goodluck and Keep motivated!

By the way, I weigh in on a Friday so I am already half a week into this challenge.

Common Friday Girls.. Strut your stuff :)

Lyllia — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:35:41 GMT

Heya, I weigh in 4 hours.

How are my friday girls going?

On such a HIGH

missange — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:22:28 GMT

i have dropped 15.7kgs and 15cms off my waist in 11weeks... i cant believe i have achieved this, my major goal was 20kgs before xmas i am well and truly on the road of losing that and more...

Have a feeling of more confidence and self esteem now- all my wardrobe is totally useless now everything is too big for me and i look at clothes now in shops and im like wow i can fit into them.

Today i brought a pair of billabong pants a size 14.HUGE smile on my face.

Tony Ferguson is possible. and now anything is possible..

Just wanted to share my excitement..

4 Kilos in a week!

vaalia01 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:27:23 GMT

Have been dreading this day all week! But lost 4 kilos.

I really will be looking great for my holiday. Yay for TF. 4 kilos will definately keep me motivated till next weigh in. Hopefully will be a good one next time to.

Best of luck (and im sure a lot of hard work this past week) to everyone else weighing in today.

DOUBLE DIGITS!!!

bealy8 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:20:19 GMT

I was sooo worried about my weigh in this fortnight, and I was just going to be happy if I'd maintained my weight because my Mum came down to visit and everyday we were out so I did my best to chose acceptable meals and even worst we went out to Thai (which i love...mmmm...red curry chicken) and Montezuma's (which is pretty much rice and meat) But I made a big effort to go to the gym most mornings b4 we headed off.

and...

I lost 2.5kg!!!! which takes me down to 99.3kg!!!

I haven't been under 100kg since about grade 6 which was 10years ago. I've now lost 21.1kg since I started on 27th July.

Here's to the next 10kg (please be nice and come off easily)

:)

fourth weigh in

dolphingirlz — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:55:46 GMT

Hi Everyone,

Hope everyone is good this week, had my fourth weigh in today and I have only lost 800 grams, but its my fault we went out to dinner to celebrate getting engaged and I didnt stick to what Im supposed to eat, so only have my self to blame, but i got straight back on the diet and wont let it happen again.....I hope....lol:)

I want to get to my goal weight of 73 kg, but will set a new goal weight of 65 kg once I get there. So, count me in! I'm having a real tussle with some foods offerred to staff at lunchtime, which are 'on the house'. (like chocolate cheesecake shop mud cake!) I have some support in the staffroom, which is great and I did resist today. However, I'm here tonight, online, because I need you guys! You understand and are committed to TF too. Thanks everyone.

week 5 weigh in

roseylee — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:09:06 GMT

well i only lost 200grams this week...im a bit disappointed but at least its still a loss.I still have not fallen off the wagon once yet and some how i manage to only loose 2oog....its better then a gain i suppose...;)

OMG - size 12!!!!

goldilocks — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:21:05 GMT

hi everyone

am so excited because i went into katies today to see what size i am now and took two pairs of pants into the change room (a 14 and a 12) - tried the 12 on not really expecting it to fit (secretly hoping though ;) ) and it was perfect :w00t: tried on another style just to be sure and YIPPEE :P !!! the second pair were denim three quarter length rather than the looser style i tried on first and they still fitted :D !!!

anyway, just had to tell you all as soon as i got home from work (i even rang someone from the change room i was so rapt) :hehe:

for all of you newbies, hang in there and stick with the program - it really works and it will be worth it :cool: !!!

good luck everyone and thank you all for your posts on this forum, you have helped me so much with advice, to stay motivated and by just being there :) !!!

1st week!!

Firtree — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:38:29 GMT

I've been on the TF programe for one week now, and had my first weigh in this morning. [b]4.5 kilos!!!!![/b] :D:D:D:D

I'm absolutely thrilled and looking forward to next week now.

It's quite funny how happy I feel. :P

I've been reaaaaaaaally bad . . . but I'm back on track now . . .

xlnt — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:01:54 GMT

Well I've been m.i.a. for a long time . . . I felt so stupid for getting so big after my past success . . . I have finally snapped out of my ostrich syndrome & am back on TF . . . this time I'm going to make full use of the consultants once I meet my goal and hopefully I'll be able to maintain rather than blowing it again.

So now that I've found my courage to fess up, here's first post and my 3rd week weigh-in: 1.3kg . . . yay ! :P

Wednesday Weigh-in

Roanne — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:54:33 GMT

2009jessica — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:35:45 GMT

Hi Guys

I currently weight 79kg's (which is not obese, i just have about 10kg's of extra wieght I need to shed). I am currently a size 14 (or 16 if I want clothes to be a bit loose), but want to get to a size 10, or 12 i suppose. This should hopefully be a smooth process, if i stick to TF plan. Feel free to share your stories here if you are in a similar position to me. I hope to make my goal in 10 weeks (however xmas and the party season is approaching so may be hard at times!)

I am only in my first week, and going well, had a bad headache on the first/second days, but feel quite good now. I am enjoying making my shakes into buscuits sometimes, and I love the chocolate and strawberry shakes the best. I dont have much time during the week to excercise, so weekends are my chace to go the extra mile.

I had done TF once before, and did ok for about 4 weeks, but couldnt handle the lack of food so went off it, i fainted in a gym class because of lack of sugar and food, so Im taking it a bit easier this time in regards to excersize. Let me know how you are going with the program and your weight loss :)

Hi Everyone

Looks like BBBBBB is finishing on Monday so thought I'd throw another one out there.

I love being 'in a challenge' but I'm not all that good at them. I 'almost' made the BBBBB one mind you, but that was FLUKE really due to my detox moment - who knows how long I'll hold that loss for.

So I'll weigh myself on Monday 12th OCTOBER (Edit - doh....not November)I think it's going to be around 127kg and I pledge to be 120kg by ...... hmmm, let's make it a month, November 9th final weigh (short n sweet). I know that seems like alot, but hey, it's supposed to be a 'challenge' right ;)

If you want to join in let me know if you think the old spreadsheet is necessary. I have to be honest and over the last few months I've never looked at the spreadsheets. I like the banter, the triumph, the personal touch and of course if we're a bit lucky - the weight loss :D

This is a "no need to reply" unless you really want to diary for me to keep a track of what I am doing, trying to achieve and what I have done. I joined TF earlier on in the year and lost 8kgs pretty easily but since became side tracked setting up a business, raising my family and lost track somewhere along the way. Last week I started TF again and thought i had done really well only to hop on the scales this morning and become completely disheartened to see they had gone up by 2kgs. Really do not understand why as I had agreat week, dranks my water, ate to plan and didnt have even have cake on my birthday on Saturday so here I sit, aged 30, 82kgs and 5ft 7inches, its now or never and I know I can do it.

[b][u]AIM[/u][/b] - My final goal weight is 60kgs. What I was before I was pregnant with my first child. I was happy at this weight, I had curves byt a flat tummy, roughly a size 12 in clothing. Happy I could wear a bikini, felt comfortable with myself.

[b][u]MINI GOAL[/u][/b] - 70kgs at christmas. So 10kgs loss by then, or near to. I cant bear another christmas of DH's extended family telling me how much weight I've put on and comparing me to another member of the family who is double the size of me. They even siad how massive i was in xmas 06 when I was 3 weeks off of having a baby.

[b][u]WEEKLY TARGET[/u][/b] - 2L of water daily no excuses. I love water and drink heaps so why as soon as I start dieting do I find it hard to stomach?
30mins to an hour of exercise - Zumba, Capoiera and dance dvds. I can easily fit this into my day And I love it, anything dance based. I have to learn to forget about housejobs for 30mins a day. The washing up will still be there later. 1hr exercise on the days the kids are at care.

[b][u]FEELINGS[/u][/b]- going in this week I am somewhat upset at last weeks efforts going uncounted on the scales but I am confident I can push through. I know I eat well so I really have to up the ante on the exercise fron to start it shifting. I'm not a binge eater, but I am prone to having a larger portion. I dont eat a lot of choccy, or chips so they are easy to say no to. I can do it. I am going to use a spa voucher I jst recieved as a brithday present as my motivation. When 5kgs is gone I'll get a spray tan, when 10kgs is gone I'll get a full body massage!

My ticker is a christmas one with my christmas goal!

I would like to use this thread as a record of my weight loss as well as recording some thoughts of how this journey progresses on a week by week basis.

Why am I writing in this thread?

1. to make public my results in the hope that the added pressure will help prevent me from weakening on the tough days and

2. because I've been overwhelmed by the helpfullness of this forum and want to give something back.

Please note that the weights I'm using here are the ones from my electronic scales at home and are not the ones from weighing myself at a TF chemist.

Starting weight: 148.0 (09 Feb 2009)

Goal 1 – To get to 99.9 kilos

Goal 2 – To get to 85.0 kilos
