Tony Ferguson Weightloss Program / Tony Ferguson / Weight Loss Discussion

How much weight can ya lose in 5 wks? I've been told exercise will slow your weight loss???

kiwigurl — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:13:54 GMT

Hi there guys,

Would appreciate your input or advice here. I am wanting to lose the max amount of weight possible in 5 weeks as I'm a bridesmaid!! Any advice or tips would be appreciated especially in relation to tummy fat...I am eating my meal at lunch time to hope that this will speed it up a lil..I have only been on the program for 4 days now and have been sticking to it 100% with meal at lunchtime. I called the help centre and they said that the program was designed for no exercise and that exercising rigorously will slow down the loss..??

The Silly Season is upon us!

nikkimaloo — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:14:20 GMT

Hi All,

I posted this last year, but I thought it's still relevant and there are a lot of newbies here that can benefit from the below tips!

[b]Be prepared[/b]
The motto of good weight loss – always be prepared! Plan your meals ahead, make sure you have plenty of TF friendly choices so you don’t feel like you are missing out. If you have a party or function to attend, try and check out the menu in advance and plan what you will eat around the day.

[b]Keep your water intake up[/b]
Make sure you drink your 2 litres of water a day – it’s easy to let the water slide when you’ve got lots of running around to do, so make sure you have a bottle of water on you at all time.

[b]Offer to bring a plate[/b]
If you’re going to someone’s place, offer to bring something and make it TF friendly. A nice bit bowl of grilled mushroom salad, a big plate of cut up raw veges with avo dip or lite philly cream cheese, some diet jelly – there are plenty of things that you can bring along to make sure you can make the best choices possible.

[b]Control your alcohol intake[/b]
A very important one! Alcohol is packed with empty calories and even worse, can damage your willpower – if you get hungry you may end up eating something you shouldn’t. Stick with vodka and soda water / Sprite Zero / diet soft-drink, dilute your white wines or low carb beers with some soda water, sparkling mineral water or Sprite Zero. Drink a large glass of water between each drink so you space them out and more importantly – keep your water intake up!
Keep track of how much you are drinking. If you drive it will also give you a great excuse not to get carried away.

[b]Don’t Stop Exercising[/b]
Keeping up your exercise regime will keep any extra calories at bay and if you're going on holiday, plan to take and early morning or afternoon walk every day, or even a swim if you’re lucky enough to be near a pool or beach.

[b]Get enough sleep[/b]
This one may seem a bit silly, but I think when you’re tired, it’s easier to make excuses not to exercise or plan your meals properly. It’s a big time of the year and it’s easy to run out of steam if you over-do it.

[b]Serve yourself[/b]
Where possible, serve yourself when it comes to food and drinks. This will help you keep control of your portion sizes, what you are eating and how much you drink..

[b]Step away from the food!![/b]
At any occasion there may be nibblies available, don’t stand near the food, if you’re a picker you’re going to start eating (or at least torture yourself out of having a good time!) You’re at a party, you’ve lost weight, you look great – get out there and socialise! Chat to people, offer to help the host/ess and keep yourself busy.

Hope this helps some of you :D If anyone has any tips they'd like to add - please do!!

I'm an All or Nothing Girl!!

JoJelly — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:27:17 GMT

Just wondering if there is anyone out there like me? I seem unable to have one piece of cake or one lolly or one chocolate bar etc. etc. (the list is endless!). If I have just one then I'm off the wagon and running down the Binge Highway!! I can't even manage to stick to 6 sugar free lollies!! I have resisted buying them as I knew what would happen but a packet fell into my trolley the other day and I ate them all in one go and suffered really badly all night (really bad gas, stomach cramps etc). That wouldn't stop me though!! If another bag falls into my trolley I will do exactly the same again! I wouldn't dare make the delicious desserts or things like Banana Bread as I would eat all four serves in one go!! The reason I've done so well on this diet is that I don't have any treats! I just won't be able to have one!!

Problem is after being on the program for 3 months I'm getting a bit bored and am scared of falling off the wagon!! And please don't tell me to have savoury treats as my moto is 'If its not sweet its not a treat!!' Ha ha

Is there anyone with the same problem? Or have you had the problem and have found the solution?

Boredom eating

Download — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:21:47 GMT

This is driving me nuts. I keep having the urge to eat, not because I'm hungry but because I'm bored. I try to distract myself when it happens but I always find myself thinking about food and what I could eat shortly afterwards.

I'm not hungry in the slightest when it happens and today's killing me because I nearly bought an atkins bar to snack on today. I chose not to in the hopes that I'll loose a little more because I'm not eating that extra energy but it's very difficult to not go on the hunt for something else. I know I should be greatful that I'm not rushing to the cupboards to eat something I shouldn't (like noodles) but it really is doing my head in.

I've just drunk a heap of water so I'm not thirsty and I had an apple not long ago so it's not that I'm hungry.... GRRR!!!

Some Advice Please

Soon2bButterfly — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:39:53 GMT

I just wanted some advice. I am going away next weekend for a girls weekend that includes eating out alot. Would I do much damage if I was to have say an omelette for breakfast (without cheese), protein and salad for both lunch and dinner?

It might be a bit hard for me to follow the TF plan so I am trying to limit the damage as much as I can.

Thanks for your advice.

20 kilos or less

Sweet Loretta — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 14:06:00 GMT

Hey,

I've only been on TF for a week, and I've been floating around the forums for a week longer than that. I was wondering, though, whether there's any interest in having a thread for those who, from their starting weight to their goal weight, have got about 20 kilos or less to lose? I've noticed that a lot of posters are doing a great job at losing 50 kilos or more, but I thought that those with less to lose might enjoy sharing tips and experiences?

Would anyone be interested?

Cheers :P

Treats

nannydee — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:37:03 GMT

Do we have to eat the 2 weekly treats or can we ignore.I have been having them but found Im not really needing or enjoying.Lord who would of thought,I would devour chocolate like nobodys buisness so my brain must be behaving.(about bloody time).

Im still enjoying TF so don't want to stuff up so hence Deb asks silly questions:hehe:

WHY do we gain at that time of the month??

rachy19842000 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:19:32 GMT

Hi, its been puzzling me, why do we gain/not lose/lose only a small amount at that time of the month? Iv only lost 100g this week totm, but i just cant really work out why

About that girly time of the month and TF...

Sarah Darling — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:17:39 GMT

Has anyone elses cycles been affected by this diet?

Usually I'm like clockwork. But since being on the Tony Ferguson diet, I'm all over the place!

It's been two weeks, last week I had my period and this week I started all over again...

I don't understand! And I got to get all bloated twice... :crying:

Help Help Help...

*lovingmommy* — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:47:58 GMT

Hi all You Gorgeous galls.

I think I must be there worst TF dieter there is. I want to loose this weight but I am just not getting myself there. I have been loosing, but rely slow because I am

CHEATING:crazy:

I dont really do big cheats, well sometimes I do, but mostly I steal one chippie here and there and drink hot Light hot Chocolate with skim milk, it is only something like 25

calories maby twice a day, do you think that would make a big difference? Is there a diet chocolate hot drink out there with less than 1g carbs per 100 ml?

Does any one have advice for me on how to not do that?

Thanks

Four n Twenty blackbirds

CindyRell — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:35:01 GMT

Okay, so every friday I have a client who gives me a pie.

Which is insanely bad for me and Definitely not on the TF allow list, but in his culture its rude to refuse food.. so I can't refuse the pie or otherwise i'm going to offend him. God knows how many carbs in a pie, probably a truckload. So refusing the pie is out, because he'll hate me (even if I AM on a diet), and there's no way I can ask for something healthier.. .so how can I work a pie into my friday and still lose weight?

Would excercising on friday afternoon help?... Or trying to reduce my carbs during the rest of the day?... eeep

Vegies

Danielle:) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:14:43 GMT

Does it really matter if i dont have 3 serves of vegies a day? If im not hungry i dont see why i shoul;d force myself to eat extra??? does anyone have any good advice?

Can anyone tell me how much meat (ham, chicken, tuna) I can put in my salad on the progress diet?

nearly50 — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:10:26 GMT

I have been given all the info to start Progress but have decided to hold off until I reach my first goal, which is only 2.2 kgs away! I originally chose to add back eggs, cheese and pasta, and my consultant told me the quantities: 2 eggs, 60gms cheese and 1/2 cup of pasta. However, I think I would like to add either ham or chicken to a salad instead of cheese. Does anyone know the portion sizes allowed for progress? I know I can have 120g of protein for my main meal, but I wonder what is the equivalent of a shake or soup?

thanks......

Not eating enough?

rricha — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:26:35 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have had a disappointing week this week, with a meagre 0.1 loss to report. In reflecting on my week, I realise I haven't been having 2 shakes every day, or the two pieces of fruit every day. Some days I just have a shake, huge (acceptable) salad, and protein with huge (acceptable) salad or veges. I might be going a bit overboard on the salad dressing/sauce factor, but I don't think so...

What are peoples thoughts on eating less= lose more or eating less=body holds onto weight?

At the end of the day surely it is about calorie in, calorie out, isn't it?

I have exercised more this week, but not enough to build noticable muscle mass I don't think.

And, some days I haven't been spot on with my water...

Would love to hear what people think

Lunch/Dinner

eduardo — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:53:36 GMT

Hi everyone

Ive decided to join back on Tony Ferguson and im pretty determined this time around!! ive just got enagged and my engagement party is in 9 weeks so im aiming to loose 9-10 kgs :)

i ahve a quick question though .. I was wondering if i can have my shake for breakfast as normal and have salad and protien for lunch and then a shake or soup for dinner .. with my two pieces of fruit throughout the day?

I just find it a bit better when i feel like i actually eat something for lunch

Thanks everyone!

Menstrual cycle

Firtree — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 14:07:19 GMT

Is it normal to gain a little weight before or during a cycle? I have my first weigh in on Wednesday and I started my period today. I have followed the TF program 110%, so I'm a little wary that my results on Wednesday might be influenced by my period. :ermm:

(Disclaimer: I won't always obsess over this, it's just that for me..this 1st weigh in is psychologically v. important)

loving this heat :D

Dianasaur :) — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:00:04 GMT

usually i hate the heat, because being a big girl, means i sweat more,
BUT i am soo happy about today!!
a loss of 2kgs!!! thankk uuuuuuuuu mr.sun :D

salads

nannydee — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:34:42 GMT

just a quick question im not having salad for lunch is this a prob or not?

sushi

beestar — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:36:52 GMT

can we eat as much sushi in the tf cookbook as we like? it is so yummy. and wot about notatoes?

Apricots?!

LC — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:52:48 GMT

Hope I am posting the right section!

I just want to know if apricots are an allowed fruit? And if so, how many per serve. (i.e 2 small?)

Am I doing it wrong ... Experienced TF's ?

adorable_blackcat — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:50:18 GMT

Hi all,

I did not get any assistance with my previous help question and I am hoping more help will be forthcoming with this one .

Ok here goes.

My typical day consists of

Breakfast: TF Shake & 1x Coffee
Morning tea : Apple
Lunch: TF Soup Shake & HUGE Salad (Lettuce, Cucumber, Tomato, Salad Mix, Thyme, Red Onion, Capsicum)
Dinner: Protein Serve and heaps of veggies.

I find I am still hanging for lollies and sweets I have as a treat a small handful of Nut trail mix on occaisions.

I am still getting headaches. and Sinus pain.

I am endeavouring to try and drink my 2 lt of water.

Is this Right ? or am I not entering the Ketosis state?

Has anyone who has shed a considerable amount of weight changed shoe size??

jacstr — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:46:01 GMT

I'm curious to know if anyone has changed shoe size from loosing a large amount of weight.

When I was in my 20's I was a size 9. but now 2 kids later & 40+ kilos extra i'm a size 11. Not sure if it is the weight or the kids....lol

If anyone has experienced this I would love to hear from you.

Thanks:D

Bikini Body

superskinny — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:22:19 GMT

Hi all,

Well, I'm 21 years old, overweight and have never 'liked' my body. I'm determined to change that with TF and hope that one day I'll be able to wear a bikini on the beach, like most girls my age do. I've never worn one in my life!

Unfortunately I have these blasted things called stretch marks, which I hate. I'm worried that even when i get to my goal weight and am thin enough to pull off a bikini, I still won't wear one cause of my stretch marks. I'm absolutely ashamed of them. :crying:

I was wondering if anyone on this program has successfully gotten rid of them or at least reduced them and if so, what they've done/used etc.

Not that wearing a bikini is the most important thing lol, it's more important to be fit and healthy. But I've kind of put it on a pedestal, that as part of achieving my goal, i can wear one. Superficial, I know. :P

how long till your back into weight loss burning mode?

mum2 Jemaine — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:11:28 GMT

My brother-in-law is in town and we had a family bbq at my mother-in-law's place. Well I was expecting the usual foods to be there and knew I would stick to my protein and salad etc. When we arrived it was my brother-in-law that arranged the food. In typical male fashion we were eating loads of meat with bread rolls only. The only other side dish available was a tiny portion of coleslaw that was to go around 8 people! Later on in the day we decided to stay for dinner as we do not see him very often. Anyhow he decided we were using the rolls and going for chips at the fish 'n' chip shop.

It is now Wednesday and I am still feeling rather bloated, heavy and fatigued. It is the week before TOM and know this is also affecting me. How long until I will feel good again?

I do not care if I do not lose this week, I just do not want to put on weight.

TF & Baby Weight

babyfat888 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:46:52 GMT

Hi,

I'm 21 years old and had my son in April. 7mths later and I am still unable to lose the weight i gained in pregnancy. I am considering trying TF to help me move this excess weight. Is anyone else doing TF to lose babyweight? Is is working for you. I feel bad as i worked for years to stay at around 55-60kgs but within 9mths i just ballooned! I really want to get my body back. IF anyone can tell me how they are going with TF and how it is working for them.

THANKS! xx

Why am I not Losing Weight

WoodyB — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 12:57:33 GMT

WHY AM I NOT LOSING WEIGHT?

Following are a few points that may help you understand why you may not have lost weight at your last weigh in

* Not drinking at least 2 litres of water

* Having bread, rice, pasta, crackers, breakfast cereals

* Having fruit juice

* Having alcohol

* Mixing shakes with milk rather than water

* Having dairy products eg. milk, yoghurt etc

* Having more than 2 fruits per day, fruits not on the allowed list or larger servings

* Certain medications

* Having mainly or too many carrots as your veggie requirement

* Having potatoes, pumpkin, peas or corn

* Eating nuts or seeds

* Havings honey or sugar in tea/decaffeinated coffee/shakes

* Having chickpeas, kidney or cannelloni beans

* Consuming too much dressing, sauces, mayo, gravies etc or those with greater than 5g carbs/100g

* Having baked beans

* Too many treat options or having them too often

* Having regular coffee rather than decaff or having more than 3 cups of normal tea per day

* Having lots of tea/decaff coffee with milk so that total milk intake is high

* Having normal soft drinks rather than having diet and caffeine free versions

* Having powdered soups available from supermarket

* Having regular jelly instead of diet jelly

* Skipping meals

* Exercising? - If you exercise a lot, this can increase muscle mass. Muscle weighs more than fat - so you may have lost fat but built muscle, which makes you appear heavier on the scales but you should find that your clothes will feel loser as you go along!!!

I hope this helps you guys better understand some of the things that will impact on the amount of weight you lose at the end of each week.

Kind regards,

Tony Ferguson Staff

PROGRESS

sandradeee — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:16:44 GMT

Veggie Patties

Danielle:) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:25:26 GMT

Are the veggie patties unlimited?

Im going to make some and i was just wondering if they are unlimited or if we can only have a certain ammount per day???? :hehe:

I'm an Addict

sandradeee — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:26:02 GMT

I've come to realise today I'm an addict. I've struggled so much lately and have promptly gained 7kg after ending another stupid relationship and come to the realisation I've "filled the void" with food - lots of it.

With the lack of 'eeer intimacy' I've turned to food big time. I'm normally (as in when I'm not addicted) a savoury person but recently I've wanted sweet, then savoury and then oooh I need something sweet now. It's insane. I actually went to the supermarket the other day for dog food and bought - licorice - ice cream - chocolate - yoghurt and of course dog food. The only thing I didn't graze on that night was the dog food!

The weight gain is no surprise, Canteen Noodles, Hells Pizza, Ciabatta with lashings of Pate. I've eaten terrible terrible things that would clog anyone's arteries, let alone a girl apparently trying to get under 100kg.

Anyhoo the reason I came to the realisation today is I really really wanted something 'BAD' to eat and I coudn't/didn't and I actually felt physically ill. I was trying to figure out how I could get to the shops and back without anyone noticing (I'd already been late for the staff meeting). I slumped back into my desk and chipped away at fresh strawberries which were devine, I didn't succumb, but BOY did I WANT that flat white and a couple of savouries.

Hope I can hold out for the week at least as I know if I can do a week, then another day will follow. I'm so afraid of hitting 140kg again - but it seems perhaps not afraid enough to stop. My main reason for wanting to lose is health related and a close 2nd to buy clothes with ease. I'm not all that worried about how I look perse', that's not it. Maybe health and clothing isn't enough hmmmmmmm, it really should be eh.

Thanks for letting me vent. X

Biscuits

sandradeee — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:45:31 GMT

CRICKEY - like it's not hard enough!!!

In my mail today is a complimentary twin pack of wheelies biscuits.

Can't believe it, I'm really struggling but now they're delivering to my door lol.

I threw them in the bin, not good enough I still wanted them, so I opened them - nearly popped them in my mouth and then flushed them down the loo.

PHEW Crisis over - whatever next - BRING IT ON!!!!! ;)

Small overall loss for four weeks

blueiris — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 16:01:49 GMT

Hi guys,
just want to know if anyone else has had some slow weight loss. I weighed in today and I lost 1.4kgs which I am estatic about, but overall that takes my four week total to 2.8. I know this is not much, and I am just wondering if anyone started off like this? I did really struggle for a start and i know my weight loss was because of this, did anyone else have this problem?

How to cope without TF

aussie20 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:41:22 GMT

Well I'm from Geelong, with TWC closed I am out of shakes and waiting for my order to come. So I havent had any shakes for about a week, my order will be at least another few days. I tried to stick to the 'interim plan' but I struggled. So i've gained a kg already in about a week.
Anyone else been in the same situation? How did you cope?

CAMPING

Georgiewill — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:17:06 GMT

Hi All im just wondering if any of you had any ideas for camping im going with a group of friends leavinf friday coming home sunday i will be able to have my shakes on friday and on sunday for lunch but was just going to eat carefully on friday night saturday and sunday morning.

My question is we usually live off tin spagetie and baked beans i know they have carbs but if ive been good all week and dont snack or eat anything bad will i still gain wieght??

Has anyone done something similar to this.

also the peole i am going camping wih dont really watch what they eat or dont need to watch what they eat so only a select few know i am on TF so shakes are not an option.

Thanks Guys:D

Eating MORE on TF?

Charlie-cat — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:11:50 GMT

Hi,

I am starting TF today, but I am just a bit confused...

Bit of background info: I am only aiming for a loss of about 10 kgs, and am only 'just' overweight by BMI measurements. My normal diet consists of toast or cereal for brekky, [iece of fruit for morning tea, salad and ham/tuna/feta or cereal for lunch and an unlimited dinner (sometimes as unhealthy as tacos or creamy pasta, sometimes as healthy as grilled chicken/fish and steamed vegies)

While I will definately be consuming 'less' at breakfast (shake instead of toast or cereal), I usually only have a light salad with a bit of feta and sometimes some ham or tuna for lunch. If I have the shake as well as the salad, wouldnt that possibly be increasing my calorie intake, and therefore be the opposite as to what I am trying to do?

Or do you think the higher protein of my shake will be catalyst for weight loss?

In the same sense, the toast I have for brekky is only 20grams of carb per two slices, so they would be equal to a shake anyway...

So yes, while I will be changing my dinner habits, do you think the shakes are actually going to be of benefit?

***Not that I am changing my mind about them - even if they ARE an increase, they will be an easy lunch alternative when I can't be bothered packing lunch for work ***

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!

Download — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 10:13:40 GMT

I've officially lost over 20kg!! I'm so stoked :D I was getting really bummed because I just couldn't seem to break that 20kg barrier and I hadn't lost anything for about a week. Weighed myself this morning and I sitll hadn't gone down but I just took bub for a walk and when I got home I weighed myself because I was curious. I'm down to 84.5kg :D:D:D. Still another 9.5kg to go, but I'm really REALLY happy that I've finally gotten under 85kg lol.

Sorry, just had to crow a bit *chuckle* this has been 5 months coming so I'm going to enjoy it for a bit.

Centimetres vs Kilos

ready to roll — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:01:20 GMT

Just wondering if there are any people out there, finding it easier to lose centimetres rather than kilos/grams. So far this time round I am slowly eating away centimetres but not the weight. A little frustrating but good to know the weight is changing shape I guess.:cool:
